Chapter 19 Clean and Pure, Just Like That

Her phone had also been taken by John.

Snatching it from the nightstand, Lily walked quickly toward the door.

She didn’t expect to run into Elsa in the hallway.

Elsa–wrapped in nothing but a bath towel.

John was right beside her.

Elsa’s face, always elegant and radiant, now wore a carefully crafted vulnerability, her eyes red as she threw herself into John’s arms.

“John, I was so scared… Can you hold me?”

John didn’t push her away.

Watching them wrapped around each other, Lily felt nothing but relief. She had once been in pain- excruciating, soul–ripping pain–but not once had she considered turning back.

Because every step taken back… would lead straight into a bottomless abyss.

What a joke. Just last night, John had promised he wouldn’t let Elsa set foot in their marital home. Now, this morning, she was here–wearing only a towel, like it was her palace.

“Lily…”

Only when Lily let out a short, amused laugh did the entangled pair finally notice her.

John quickly released Elsa and stepped away.

Elsa, her eyes still wet, looked at Lily and explained sweetly, “Lily, it’s not what you think. There’s nothing between me and John. I got dirty after being rear–ended and just needed a quick shower.”

Her tone was calm and sincere, but her sultry Nirvana eyes were filled with blatant provocation.

It was obvious–she’d done this on purpose.
