"Are you just not going to tell her?" Christopher asked Asher as they strolled into the airport to pick up Angelica, and Asher shook his head. "She won't believe me anyways, not after last time." "So?" He stopped in his tracks and so did Asher, "You are just going to let it happen?" Yesterday, he heard everything they discussed, every bit of it, but acted the fool when Charlotte turned and saw him. He pried off the dead airpods he attached to his ears the second he noticed her standing, and when she looked at him with a mixture of emotions in her eyes, he just removed it and asked where Asher was. "I'm not just going to let anything happen, Christopher." Asher's response brought him back to the present moment and he sighed. "There's no one else but you that I can trust, everyone on my end is trying to stab me in the back for God's sake, and Lily is not going to hear a word I'm going to say. I'm almost at a dead end, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let anything happen to her. "

Lily already accepted her fate that she was going to suffer such a fall that she might hurt her baby, and closed her tear-filled eyes as she awaited the impact of the fall, but a hand immediately wrapped around her, reducing the impact as they both fell to the ground."Liam, you..." her words hitched in her throat when she opened her eyes and looked down and saw Asher grunting in pain instead. "Asher?"Liam, who stood behind her, anticipating the fall immediately ran to her side and helped her up from Asher, and pulled her into him. "Are you okay?" he asked as he helped her to her feet, away from Asher, who was still groaning in pain. When they were leaving the room earlier, Asher, who drove Elle and Charlotte back from the mall, was quick to notice Liam's and Charlotte's glances towards each other, and the slight smirks that followed. He quickly followed after him and Lily, at first, he didn't notice anything different, but he decided to wait to be sure everything was okay, and now

Lily had the biggest grin on her face as she watched her parents exchange their vows. She had been so distracted throughout the process of preparing for the wedding that she actually almost forgot that her mother was going to walk down the aisle to finally get married to the actual love of her life. Her eyes flickered around the room, and they landed on Asher, who was already looking at her when the priest officially declared her parents as man and wife and the entire hall erupted into claps and cheers of joy.Asher's stomach tightened as he held Lily's gaze. A few days after he declared that he was going to propose to Charlotte, just so he could keep the secret, he felt like he had finally ruined all his chances with Lily, and when she spent the last few days ignoring him as much as she could, his suspicions were confirmed. But right now, as they both held each other's gaze as the crowd clapped and cheered for the newest couple, a glimmer of hope flickered at the pit of his belly.T

"So..." Lily started, hoping to break the awkward silence as she and Asher walked back to the venue, and he turned to her with an arched brow. "Well, I never got the chance to thank you for saving my life and my baby's life." Her hand found her bump, and she rubbed it gently.Asher's eyes instantly went to the baby bump, and he swallowed. He wanted to tell her it was nothing.... He only saved the life of his lover, and a baby that was most likely his, instead his lips tugged in a small smile. "It was nothing.""Also," she rubbed her lips together, "Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, or rather proposal. I wish you all the best with the life you will be building with her."His breath hitched and he held her gaze, his eyes searching for an atom of dishonesty in her words, but either he was bad at reading her, she suddenly got better at hiding her feelings, or... she meant what she said, and the mere thought of that made his heart dropp.It felt like he was relieving what drove the

"Lily," Grandpa Larkin was the first to notice her, and Lily immediately smiled and walked over to him. Instantly he pulled her into a hug, the both of them had barely spent any time together because he had been sick, and he was available briefly at the wedding. She felt incredibly guilty for having him go through all these troubles just to get her sorry ass out of the mess she was webbed in."I see you are dressed, are you leaving now?" he asked as they pulled away from the hug, and the room seemed to grow even much quieter than it was when he beckoned on her, and when Lily looked, all eyes were fixed on her.She chuckled and bobbed her head."I really didn't think you guys would be awake, and I assumed... hoped, that you were all too tired after the wedding to check the news. Guess I wasn't so lucky."A chair creaked against the floor, and Angelica, whom she thought went home with Christopher last night, was by her side a few seconds after. "We are more than happy that we are helpin
