Even with her in his arms, James’s mind was still drowning in jealousy, remembering the social media posts Jackson had made back when he was pretending to be her fiancé.

“He called himself your puppy back then. He even posted about it on purpose.”

Lily blinked, recalling the time before their divorce, when James had lost his temper after she’d murmured “puppy.”

So he’d thought, all this time, that the puppy she spoke of was Jackson?

This misunderstanding was massive.

Looking at the sulky man in front of her, she found him ridiculously childish.

But what could she do? Even when he was childish, she still adored him.

She didn’t have the heart to let him stew in doubt, so with a sigh of helpless fondness she explained, “The puppy isn’t Jackson. In the princess room Mom gave me back at the family estate, there’s a huge plush dog on the bed. When I lived there, I always slept holding it. That’s the ‘puppy‘ I was talking about. If you don’t believe me, when we go back, you can see for yourself. He’s soft and adorable–you’ll like him too.”
