Chapter 231

"After lunch, David drove them to Noah’s shop. Lily was quiet the whole ride, checking her phone and pretending she was busy, even though her mind was somewhere else. She only wanted him to drop them off and leave. Having David follow her everywhere felt dangerous. If any reporter snapped a picture, it would be all over the news by morning. She didn’t want that mess again.When the car stopped, Lily unbuckled her seatbelt. She opened the door and stepped out. “I’ll come pick you up later. Wait for me,” David said from the driver’s seat.“Alright,” Lily said with a small nod. She only agreed because she wanted him gone. Once he drove away, she could breathe.Danish leaned out the window and waved. “Bye, Dad!”David smiled and waved back, but the moment Lily turned to head inside, her wrist was grabbed. David pulled her straight into his arms.Lily froze. Her breath caught. “David, wha

Lily’s phone buzzed on the desk. She glanced at the screen. It was Jabco calling.“You’re going to see him?” Noah asked right away.“I have a meeting with him,” Lily said with a small nod.“Why?” Noah pushed.Lily blinked at her, confused. “What’s wrong with you today? You’re acting strange.”“Nothing. I’m just worried,” Noah said and waved it off, but her eyes said something else.“You don’t need to worry. I’m not planning to marry anyone. My life is fine the way it is.” Lily got up with a tired sigh. “I’ll be late, so take care of Danish. And if David comes, let him take Danish with him.”“Why are you letting Danish get close to David?” Noah suddenly asked. “What if David tries to get custody of him? What if Danish chooses his father?”The question hit Lily like ice in her veins. Her body

Chapter 233

Lily let out a long breath and walked back toward David. He still stood there like he was carved out of stone.“What are you doing? Go get Danish. We’re going home,” she said, her voice flat.David stared at her for a second, his eyes unreadable, then turned around and walked back into the shop.“He’s in the second room,” Noah said from behind the counter when she saw David walk in. She looked at Lily with a worried face, but Lily ignored it.David went straight to the small room. Danish was curled up on the bed, deeply asleep. David bent down and lifted him into his arms with slow movements, like he didn’t want to wake him. His expression didn’t change, but he held the boy carefully.He stepped out with Danish resting against his shoulder.“We’re leaving. Bye and thank you,” Lily said, waving at Noah as if nothing was wrong.“Be careful,” Noah said, giving Lily that look

Chapter 234

Lily went blank. She tried to push him away, but she didn’t have the strength. She had a little alcohol in her system too. Not enough to lose herself, but enough to make her guard slip when old memories rushed in. His touch. His warmth. His kiss. Her fingers slowly moved up and locked around David’s neck. She kissed him back without thinking.David froze.He pulled away at once. Lily blinked, confused, meeting his eyes. In the past he never cared about her feelings. And after she asked for a divorce and left him, he had forced her a few times.She got pregnant because of that. And now he was stepping back? He was scared. He was scared that if he touched her the wrong way again, she would run even farther from him.David looked away. His emotions were a mess. Pain. Fear. Everything hit him at once. Then tears slipped down his cheeks before he even noticed. The moment he felt the wetness, he raised his hand quickly to wipe them.“David&hellip

Lily took a deep breath, steadying herself. “If you want to make things right, you earn it. You don’t get it just because you said sorry.”David’s whole body stiffened. His heart almost dropped.“Lily…?” he breathed out, like he was scared of the answer.“Yes.” Her voice didn’t shake anymore. “You don’t get to ask me to come back. Not after everything you did.”David’s fingers pressed harder into his lap. His voice came out rough and thin. “You want me to kneel… the whole night? Is that what you’re asking?”Lily paused. A tiny second. Because deep inside, very deep, there was still that girl who once loved him more than anything. But she shut that feeling down before it could grow.“You can really do that?” she asked, almost testing him.David dropped his head again. His shoulders sank, like the weight of the whole world was on

Chapter 236

After nearly an hour of restless silence, Lily kicked the blanket off and sat up again.“David,” she said, her voice softer from exhaustion, “you’re going to ruin your knees.”“That’s fine.”“And you’ll get sick on the floor.”“That’s fine too.”Lily stared at him. “Why are you like this?”David lifted his head a little, and his voice came barely above a whisper. “Because I can’t lose you again. I love you. I love you more than enough I could ever thought I can. Even if you don’t want me… even if you hate me… let me stay close. Please.”His “please” wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t manipulative. It was quiet. Honest. A man stripped of every inch of pride he once had.Lily’s heart twisted painfully, but she didn’t show it.She took a slow breath. “Fine. Do what you want. B

They didn’t know how long the kiss lasted. It started slow, soft, almost unsure. Then it grew deeper, warmer, almost hungry. Like they were both trying to breathe after seven years underwater.Lily didn’t even realize her eyes had closed. She only felt David’s hands on her, his breath mixing with hers, his body melting into her like he had been starving for this moment.Then she heard a tiny gasp.Her eyes flew open.Her whole body froze.Danish was standing by the door. His little hands were hanging on his sides, his eyes round like two big marbles, and his mouth open as if he forgot how to breathe.“David… stop,” Lily whispered, patting his chest quickly, trying to push him away.But David was too lost to feel anything except her.“Hmm…” he growled against her lips, kissing her harder, as if afraid she would disappear if he let go.“Danish,” Lily hissed and pushed him w

Chapter 238

Lily felt like her chest tightened. It wasn’t fear. It wasn’t anger. It was too much emotion mixing together. She pushed his hands off and hurriedly wiped the rest of her tears."I don’t need your sweet words," she said coldly."Keep them to yourself." She turned around and walked out of the room.David lowered his eyes. For a moment, he didn’t move. He felt empty and helpless, like he was standing in a broken place he created himself. He closed his eyes and took a slow breath.One thing he knew. No matter how long it took, he wouldn’t leave Lily again. He would wait.Just as he stepped toward the door, his phone buzzed. He pulled it out. It was his mother."Yeah, Mum?""I heard you met Lily. Bring her and my grandson for dinner tonight. I want to see him. I miss him so much," Olivia said."Alright, I’ll tell Lily," he replied and ended the call.Then he froze.Miss him so much? She had never met D

He softened his tone. “Listen, your mum is someone I care about a lot. More than I show. More than I said before. And no one, not even you, should say things that hurt her like that.”Danish swallowed. “Even me…?”David looked him straight in the eyes. “Yes, even you.”There was something in David’s gaze that made Danish freeze. It wasn’t scary, but it was heavy. Like his father was giving him a warning he didn’t fully understand.“You’re a child,” David said softly. “You make mistakes. But you can’t hurt your mum with words like that. She doesn’t deserve that.”Danish lowered his head. “I’m sorry…”“You have to say that to her,” David said. “Not to me.”“I… I will,” Danish whispered. “But will Mum forgive me?”David leaned forward and brushed his son’s hair

Chapter 240

When Lily and Danish stepped out of the room together, the hallway felt strangely quiet. Too quiet.Lily looked left, then right.Empty.Her brows pulled together. She walked a few steps forward, expecting to see David leaning somewhere or talking on the phone. But there was no sign of him.Her chest tightened a little.Where did he go? Did he leave? He wouldn’t just walk away like that… right?She bit the inside of her cheek, trying to keep her thoughts from running too wild. She didn’t want to worry Danish, not after everything he just cried about.But before she could say anything, Danish suddenly let go of her hand and rushed down the hallway.“Dad!” he called out as he peeked into the kitchen.Silence.He ran into the living room. “Dad!”No reply.He checked near the front door, even looked behind the sofa as if his father might be hiding there.Lily watched him with a he
