INICIAR SESIÓNMich was surprised when he saw Lily standing at the door.She had come back earlier than he expected.“Lily…”She was still staring at him.“Mich, you haven't answered me.”Mich glanced at the wheelchair beside the couch before looking back at her.“My doctor came to see me today,” he explained calmly. “He advised me not to spend all my time in the wheelchair. He said sitting in it for too long could affect my waist.”“Oh.”“He helped me sit here before he left.”Lily's face relaxed.“I thought maybe…” She stopped herself. “Sorry. I misunderstood.”“It's okay.”She smiled a little.“I just wish you could stand again someday.”“I know.”“I really believe you will walk again.”Mich looked at her for a moment.“Okay, enough about my legs.” He smiled. “You looked very excited when you came in. What happened?”Lily's face immediately lit up again.“I got a job!”Mich smiled.“I knew you would.”“How?”“Because you're a good person. You're capable, and you're beautiful. Someone would be luc
Mich sat quietly after his PA left, staring at the documents spread across the table.His uncle's name kept appearing in places it shouldn't. There wasn't enough evidence to prove anything yet, but Mich had a strong feeling that he was getting closer to the truth.He rubbed his forehead and leaned back against the couch.Lily, I wish I could tell you everything, but I can't. Not now. If you find out too much, you'll be dragged into this mess with me.He glanced toward the door.I just hope that one day, you'll understand and forgive me.A knock interrupted his thoughts.Emma, the housekeeper, stepped inside.“Sir, you called for me?”“Yes.” Mich closed the folder. “I want you to order some food from a good restaurant. Something delicious. Lily will be back soon, and I want her to have something nice to eat.”Emma smiled. “Has Madam told you what she likes?”“Not really.” He paused, thinking. “Just order a few different dishes. Don't get too much, though. She might complain that we've
The next morning, Lily woke up earlier than usual.She had an interview that morning, and she didn't want to be late.After freshening up, she quickly changed into something simple and presentable. She checked herself in the mirror, adjusted her hair, and picked up her bag.Then she remembered Mich.She couldn't leave without making breakfast.Lily went downstairs and headed straight to the kitchen. She was still preparing the food when she heard someone behind her.She turned around and found Mich already sitting in the dining hall.“Good morning,” she greeted.“Morning,” Mich replied.Lily looked at him. “You woke up early.”“I've been waiting for you.”“For me?”“Yes. I was getting hungry.”She laughed. “You could have called me.”“I thought you'd be busy.”“I was.”“Exactly.”Lily shook her head and brought the breakfast to the table.They ate together.After a few minutes, Mich noticed she kept checking the time.“You're nervous.”“A little.”“About the interview?”“Yes.”“You'll
Lily sat quietly on the balcony, staring at the evening sky.Her laptop was open in front of her, but she hadn't read a single word on the screen for the past ten minutes.She couldn't concentrate.Her mind kept returning to one thought.Her marriage.She had spent the past few days thinking about everything that had happened.She hadn't chosen Mich.Mich hadn't chosen her.Their families had made the decision for them.But now that they were married, Lily didn't want to spend the rest of her life treating him like a stranger.She closed the laptop.When she returned to their room, Mich was sitting near the window, reading something on his phone.He looked up.“You're back.”“Yes.”Lily stood there for a moment.“Can we talk?”Mich immediately put his phone down.“Of course.”She walked over and sat across from him.“I've been thinking.”“About what?”“Us.”Mich remained quiet.Lily took a deep breath.“When our families arranged this marriage, neither of us had a choice.”He nodded.
Lily woke up early the next morning.For a few seconds, she stared at the unfamiliar ceiling before remembering where she was.She was in the Ethan family's home.She was married.And today, she had something important to do.Find a job.Lily got out of bed and glanced toward Mich.He was still asleep.She quietly left the room and went downstairs.The housekeeper was already preparing breakfast.“Good morning, madam.”“Good morning.”Lily smiled politely.“Where is the kitchen?”The housekeeper looked surprised.“The kitchen?”“Yes. I want to prepare breakfast.”“You don't need to do that. The cook will prepare everything.”“I know, but I want to.”The housekeeper hesitated before showing her the kitchen.Lily tied her hair back and began preparing breakfast.She wasn't an excellent cook, but she knew enough to make something simple.By the time she finished, Mich had already come downstairs.He stopped when he saw her.“You're awake early.”Lily turned around.“Good morning.”“Good
The first night of their marriage passed quietly.Lily woke before dawn.For a moment, she forgot where she was.Then she remembered.She was married.She turned her head toward Mich's side of the room.The bed was empty.Her eyes widened.She quickly sat up.“Mich?”There was no answer.Lily got out of bed and walked toward the sitting area.She found him there, sitting in his wheelchair near the window.He was already dressed.“Why are you awake so early?”Mich turned around.“I couldn't sleep.”Lily looked at him suspiciously.“You should have called me.”“I didn't want to wake you.”She frowned.“You're supposed to wake me if you need anything.”Mich smiled.“I'll remember that.”Lily walked toward him.“Have you eaten?”“Not yet.”She sighed.“Then wait here. I'll make something.”“You don't have to.”“I know.”Mich laughed quietly.Lily headed toward the kitchen.She had barely taken a few steps when his phone rang.Mich glanced at the screen.His expression changed slightly.“I
