The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 8 Rubbing Her Stomach, Tangled in Heat…

John stiffened, then subtly pulled away from Elsa. “Lily…”

“John, I earned the Siren role with my own ability. What right did you have to give it to Elsa?What right?!”

Lily had been barely holding back her emotions, but the sight of John and Elsa completely shattered her

composure.

And seeing Elsa still wearing her parents‘ pendant filled her eyes with a raw, rising hatred.

“And that pendant… that’s something my parents left me. What gives you the right to give it to Elsa? John, what gives you that right?”

“Lily!”

Seeing Elsa’s teary eyes and her trembling body, John’s gaze turned cold with disapproval.

“Can’t you stop being so unreasonable? Voicing Siren has always been Elsa’s dream. She only has six months left. Why do you insist on fighting her for everything?”

Unreasonable again….

Lily actually laughed.

She laughed so hard her eyes turned red, gleaming with bitter tears.

“John, voicing Siren was my dream too.”

If she’d landed the role through connections, and he took it back to give to Elsa, she wouldn’t have been this angry.

But she’d earned it with her own talent. He had no right to give it away.

“Lily, you’ll have more opportunities in the future. Elsa doesn’t have much time—”

Lily cut him off with a cold smile. “So just because she’s dying, she gets to wear the wedding dress I stitched by hand? Just because she’s dying, she gets to keep the pendant my parents left me? Just because she’s dying, everything I have must be handed over to her? Is her life the only one that matters? Does mine not count? Just because she’s dying, the whole damn world has to revolve around her? John, if you’re so obsessed with Elsa and want to take care of her, that’s your choice. But you have no right to use my things to please her or to mess with my life!”

John’s pupils contracted sharply at the hatred flashing in Lily’s eyes.

He had never imagined that she would look at him that way–like all her love had dried up, like she didn’t want him anymore.

For the first time, panic and unease surged through him.

“Lily…”
