All Chapters of My Husband's Affair, My Anniversary Gift : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"Say something!" Olivia snapped at her son. "Apologize to Lily! Swear you'll treat her better!"David's jaw tightened. His eyes lifted slowly to Lily's face, searching, conflicted. But Lily only lowered her gaze, refusing to meet his eyes.Olivia grabbed his arm. "If you don't repent, David, I'll cut you off. Do you hear me? Don't think you can fool me with Marina's tricks. She's after your money. You're blind if you can't see it."David finally spoke, his voice low, almost strained. "Mother… please calm down. Your health...""My health wouldn't be so weak if you didn't bring me shame! You're dragging your father's name through the mud!" Olivia shot back.The room fell silent, tension wrapping around them like a thick fog. Lily could feel David's anger simmering beneath his skin, but he held it in front of his mother. For the first time, Olivia's sharp words made him look small.Lily sighed quietly. She stood up, smoothing her clothes. "Mum, don't get upset. It's not good for you."Ol

Lily was starving. Her stomach had been growling since late afternoon, but she'd been too busy, too stressed, to even think about food. Now, as she got out of the cab in front of the apartment building, exhaustion and hunger hit her all at once. She pulled her coat tighter around her shoulders against the chilly night air and grabbed her phone.Her fingers scrolled through the food delivery app while she walked. She barely looked where she was going, her eyes fixed on the glowing screen.She typed in search words—noodles, maybe fried rice, or some soup. She didn't even care anymore; she just wanted something warm and easy. After a moment of indecision, she tapped on an order and added extra dumplings, then confirmed it with a sigh.Lily's eyes stayed glued to the screen, watching the order confirmation as she made her way into the building. She barely noticed the sound of her own heels against the marble floor of the lobby. She walked straight to the elevator, pressed the button, and

David pulled away from her lips, his mouth trailing down to her neck. He bit her lightly, and Lily let out a soft moan, tilting her head back. Her whole body shivered as he kept teasing her skin with his teeth. David lifted her up, and Lily instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist. Her hands slid into his hair, clinging to him as the shower water poured over them, making everything feel hotter, like fuel added to a fire.Lily gasped for breath when she felt his fingers between her legs."Ahh..." She buried her face in his neck, trying to hide. The water made it harder for her to breathe, but David didn't stop; he was relentless."You're so wet," he whispered hoarsely in her ear, making her cheeks burn with shame.How could she be so wet for a man who had done nothing but ruin her life? She had cursed him in her mind all day, and now she was in his arms, moaning under his touch. Lily hated herself for it.But his dominance was too much to fight. She bit down on his neck, refusin

"Home?" Lily's heart twisted painfully. She scoffed, her voice laced with disbelief. "Is that my home? Was it ever?"She knew why he was doing this and why he was suddenly so affectionate. It was never about her. It was about him and his reputation.David's expression didn't falter."Alright," he said calmly. "If that's what you want, I'll give you that home."Lily stared at him in shock before a bitter laugh escaped her lips. This man didn't even know what "home" meant. Arguing with him felt pointless.David, mistaking her laugh for agreement, pulled her closer."Just sleep now," he whispered.She stopped resisting, her body too tired to fight him anymore. His warmth was stifling, his hold unyielding.Minutes passed in silence. Her thoughts churned, a storm of anger, confusion, and weariness. But exhaustion won. Her eyelids grew heavy and, despite herself, she drifted off in his arms.The soft glow of early morning light slipped through the curtains, casting a warm hue over the room.

Lily sat on the edge of the bed, her hands curled tightly into fists on her lap.Her whole body felt heavy, as if she were dragging chains she hadn't chosen. She hated this feeling—this power he had over her. And yet, she knew she had no other option right now.David stood a few feet away, watching her carefully, his arms crossed. His face was calm, but his sharp eyes missed nothing. He could read her so easily, like she was an open book, and that made her feel even smaller. She knew him well enough to understand when he was serious, and this time, he wasn't playing games."Tell me everything," David finally said, his deep voice steady, leaving no room for argument. "Start from the beginning. I want every detail about these designs."Lily took a slow breath and reached for her bag, which sat on the couch near the window. Her legs still felt weak from earlier, so she had to grab the bedframe for support as she stood. She walked slowly, each step dragging, and grabbed the bag, pulling i
