The first time they’d chosen to distrust her without hesitation, to blame her outright, Lily had felt like her heart was being torn apart. But over time, after being disappointed so many times, she had gone numb.

James lowered his eyes and saw her peach blossom–shaped eyes gazing up at him, bright and glistening.

Something stirred inside him. He was just about to pull her closer when he heard Jackson’s voice.

“Lily…”

His fingers trembled violently.

He suddenly remembered–today, she and Jackson were supposed to register their marriage. It was only because he had shamelessly faked a business trip that the two of them hadn’t made it to the registry office.

Now here he was, holding Lily like this, and Jackson had caught them in the act. For once, James actually felt a twinge of guilt. It was like… being the mistress caught red–handed by the rightful spouse.

He knew Lily only had eyes for Jackson. Jackson was her legitimate fiancé. And yet, here James was, hugging her tightly right in front of him–completely shameless.

He should’ve let her go, should’ve handed her back to Jackson. But for some inexplicable reason, he just didn’t want to let her go. And since he hadn’t finalized the divorce papers with Lily yet, if he kept dragging it out long enough, who could say which of them was the actual third party? So, James held her even tighter, now with self–righteous boldness.

Lily’s body was trembling uncontrollably. Jackson’s usually wild and defiant face softened with concern. “You’re not feeling well, are you? I’ll take you to the hospital.”

How dramatic. Lily thought.

Their contractual relationship had already ended, yet here he was, jumping in like an actor trying to steal the scene. It was honestly embarrassing. But since James was standing right there, she couldn’t exactly tell Jackson to quit the act. So she simply said, “I’m fine. Just a little cold. No need to go to the hospital.”
