Lillian's perspective."I'm sure. Why are you asking me that?""Luna, a lot of reporters will be outside today," the driver, Bruno, replied."It doesn't matter. Just drop me off halfway. I have a face mask prepared," I patted my backpack with a smile. Just then, Meylani had reminded me that there would be reporters outside. Of course I would be on guard.Bruno didn't say anything else. He looked at Ismail and, having gotten his assent, started the car and drove toward the gate of the Amus family's house.Sure enough, there were a lot of media reporters crowding the entrance early in the morning. Seeing a car come out, the reporters immediately rushed over and fearlessly stopped in front of the car. They took photos of us and shouted their questions. I instinctively shrank back and turned my head to look at Ismail. I found that he was very calm, completely ignoring their existence. He was still elegantly and quietly leaning against the back of the chair.It wasn't until the security a

Lillian's perspective."What is it?" He looked back at me without much emotion on his face."I'll help you with that." I took the trench coat that he had taken off and hung it on the coat stand. Then. I thoughtfully untied the tie on his neck."Let me run a bath for you." I was about to run to the bathroom but was pulled back by him as soon as I took two steps. "You don't have to. I like taking a shower more," I heard him say."Oh, then...""Look, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm beat." A look of impatience appeared on his face."Actually... I just wanted to thank you. Thank you for arranging accommodation for those poor children. They must be really excited now.""Who are you thanking me as? Is it as Aaron's...?""I'm thanking you as his friend. We're just friends and nothing more, tout court," I said hurriedly."You're thanking your husband for a mere "friend'? Who are you married to exactly?""Uh... It's just that..." I didn't know how to simplify such a complicated t

Lillian's perspective.Coming out of the hotel, I sat by the river alone before going home in the afternoon. I stepped into the house when the rest of the Amus family were having dinner. Coincidentally, the eldest daughter of the Amus family, Clarice, was also there. Seeing me, she immediately set down her spoon and warmly greeted me. When she held my arm, her face was filled with affection as she exclaimed, "Chloe! Only a few days have passed since I last saw you. but you don't look very well."With a stern look on her delicate face, she stood up for me, "Did Ismail give you a hard time? God forbid. Tell me everything, I'll teach him a lesson for you."I was dragged to the dining room by her. After quickly glancing at Ismail, I immediately looked away and greeted everyone."Have you had dinner, Luna?" asked Helen.I nodded hastily, "Uh, yeah, I have."With so many people present, I didn't dare to sit down and join them. If I retched like how I had done at noon, everyone would find o

Lillian's perspective."Lillian, you need me. I'm sure you know that.""Cade, quit being so full of yourself." I immediately retorted, "I don't need you, so please stay away from me."I bit my lip and stared at him. "Oh, you said you have some things you wanted to return to me. Are these paintings it? Can I have them back now?""Yes, sure.""Thank you." I went to remove the painting from the wall.However, just as I was about to make my move, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind me, "Lillian, is that you? What are you doing here?"I was stunned for a moment and at the same time, my scalp went numb.Hazel? What was she doing here?I glanced at Cade next to me and turned around awkwardly, only to find Hazel standing at the entrance of the narrow hall.She stepped in and briefly glanced at the paintings on the wall, her eyes finally landing on Kayden. There was a hint of suspicion on her face."Miss Hazel, what brings you here?""I came to buy some paintings for Seth's mother. What a

Lillian's perspective.Since I could not escape, it was better for me to be on top rather than to be pinned under.I was sitting on Ismail's sensitive part, still feeling a little restless. Ismail's body was tense. He stared at me with burning eyes and asked, "Are you sure you want to be on top?"My face was flushed red, but I still nodded and said with a forced smile, "Yes! The doctor said that you need to rest and recover, so I'm willing to do the job for you. And... I heard that the possibility of women getting pregnant is low when they are on top, so we can avoid trouble, hehe..."A hint of evil flashed in Ismail's eyes as he replied, "You are very considerate of me. Come on, let's do it." "Wait, what?" I asked, slightly stunned."Huh? I thought you said that you are willing to do the job?""Oh... Okay..." I came up with an excuse, hoping that he would let me off the hook. I had no idea why said I was willing to do the job for him. So, I had no choice but to do it.In order to av
