She knew better than anyone how much he hated being touched by her. The Luke family had treated her so well–she didn’t want to repay their kindness by constantly getting under his skin.

She just wanted to get away from him as quickly as possible.

He didn’t have long hair himself, but he could imagine how painful it must be to rip strands out by force.

Suppressing his irritation, he said coldly, “Hurry up.”

Lily knew what he meant–he saw her hair was stuck and was telling her to get it out quickly.
