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.

But the more anxious she got, the tighter her hair tangled. There was no way she could pull away from him!

Truthfully, if it had only been a few strands, she would’ve yanked them out–no matter how painful–just to avoid making him uncomfortable.

But this time, too much of her hair was caught.

If she pulled it all at once, she’d likely tear out a patch of her scalp. She didn’t have the courage for that.

James’s expression remained just as dark.

But he wasn’t blind.

After hearing her speak, he gave her hair a glance and saw that it really was tangled up on him.

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.
