Arsen only smiled faintly. He stared intently at Lily.

Arsen used his index finger to tidy up Lily's slightly messy strands of hair on her forehead and then said, "You look very much like a little child I used to know in the past."

"A little child? Who? Your nephew? Or your friend's child?" Lily asked as she turned her body sideways to tidy up the books on the table.

She finally took a sip of the milk because Arsen didn't answer; she then stood up to return the books to the shelf.

Lily turned o

    Bryan returned to his parents' house after meeting with Arsen. He trudged listlessly up the stairs toward his bedroom, his uncle's words turning endlessly in his head.Bryan had just reached the top landing when Monica's voice rang out in greeting."You're home," Monica said.Bryan turned toward his mother, deciding to ask her about what Arsen had told him."There's something I need to talk to you about, Mom," Bryan said.Monica gave a gentle nod, and they stepped into Bryan's room to speak in private."Did you know about the shares that were rightfully mine, but Dad sold them off instead? Shares Grandfather gave to me?" Bryan asked.Monica gasped, her eyes going wide as she shook her head slowly."I know nothing about that," Monica answered.Bryan wasn't surprised in the least. "Just as I thought. You had no idea.""It seems you really know nothing about what Dad has been doing all this time."Monica's brow furrowed faintly. "What do you mean, talking like that?" she asked, bewildere

    Arsen burst into laughter at Lily's conjecture."That's impossible. Bryan is indeed Arya's biological son, but we also don't know whether Arya has other children out there," Arsen replied.Lily fell quiet for a moment, before narrowing her eyes and turning to Arsen."You... don't plan on having a mistress or multiple wives, do you?" Lily asked out of the blue. She stared intently at Arsen's profile, catching her husband glancing at her briefly.Lily waited for Arsen's response, but instead received a gentle caress on her head from the man."Look at me. Do you think any woman would dare approach me?"Lily merely pouted, leaving Arsen's question unanswered. Instead, she leaned in closer toward him, catching the scent of his body."Why wouldn't they dare? You smell like money," Lily said, slightly irritated.Arsen nearly laughed out loud at Lily's words, holding back only because he knew his petite wife would be upset if he did.Arsen gently stroked Lily's head once more as he said, "For

    Bryan sat down, following Arsen's order.He furrowed his brow as Arsen used a finger to slide a phone resting on the table toward him."Check it yourself," Arsen said, prompting Bryan to examine Doni's phone."Every message and call on that phone was actually erased, but with the help of an IT expert, I managed to restore everything," Arsen explained.Bryan was startled and began checking through the messages exchanged between Doni and his father's assistant one by one. Bryan's eyes widened in disbelief, his teeth grinding to keep his temper in check as he read through the chats on the messaging app.It was clearly stated there that if the scheme Arya orchestrated was ever exposed, Doni was instructed to make Bryan the scapegoat.Bryan was utterly dumbfounded by his own father's conduct. How could Arya be heartless enough to perpetrate all those schemes, only to sacrifice his own son in the end?"My issue is solely with your father, not with you. That's why I'm showing you this, so yo

    Arsen looked back at Lily, urging his wife to finish her meal quickly."I'll have Thomas look into it. You shouldn't stress over this. Look after your health and our baby—don't let yourself get overwhelmed," Arsen advised."How could I possibly be stressed with a husband like you?" Lily laughed. She was about to take another bite, but something crossed her mind first.She remembered several promises she and Arsen had made."Oh, right! We still need to find a gift for Aunt Jess's child, and visit the obstetrician," Lily said."Mm... I don't plan on meeting Bryan for long. We can pick up the gift briefly before heading home. But aside from that, it seems you've forgotten something equally important." Arsen narrowed his eyes slightly as he gazed at Lily."What?" Lily asked, her brow furrowing faintly."Our wedding banquet."Lily offered a shy, subtle smile. She looked down at her food and said, "Aren't you going to propose to me first before that?"Arsen suppressed a laugh, feeling the u

  • Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All   179. Stealing the Show

    Lily couldn't believe the sight before her eyes. She froze right at the entrance of the cafeteria, watching the tall, handsome, charismatic owner of the company she worked for standing in line with a tray, waiting for lunch. Lily lost her focus entirely. She only snapped out of it when Dini nudged her arm. "What's going on? What sudden change of wind brought Mr. Arsen to eat in the cafeteria?" Lily shook her head in response to Dini's question. She had no idea either; her husband hadn't mentioned a word to her. Lily decided to walk over to Arsen. It felt awkward, with so many eyes watching. She was also baffled to see the other employees lingering by the tray station rather than queuing up behind Arsen. "Excuse me, pardon me," Lily said, making her way through the cluster of staff gathered several meters away from Arsen. She saw Thomas glance over, and he immediately alerted Arsen to her approach. "Just coming down for lunch?" Arsen asked, turning toward Lily. Lily w

  • Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All   178. Thrown Away Like Trash

    Lily was occupied with her work when a knock sounded at her office door. She looked up and invited the person outside to enter.She saw Hendra carrying some files, stepping up to her desk, and setting them down."You've only been transferred here for two days, yet you've adjusted remarkably well," Lily praised him.Hendra smiled awkwardly, visibly flattered. He then glanced out toward the office through the glass wall, whose blinds Lily deliberately kept open at all times."What is it? Is something wrong?" Lily set her pen down, momentarily pausing from signing one document out of the stack on her desk."Pardon me, but you haven't told Juna about my suspicions, have you? After thinking it over, I might have just seen wrong that day."Lily understood exactly what Hendra meant; she shifted her gaze from him toward Juna's desk, where the man appeared absorbed in his work.Back in the cafeteria that day, Hendra had actually revealed to Lily who the suspicious figure he spotted was.Having
