"Auntie!" Lily turned around to see Julian and Olivia standing not far away, waiting for her. It seemed fate always brought them together. She told herself that today would be the last time. Once back in her hometown, she would cut off all ties here, treating it all like a long, bittersweet dream. The art exhibition was crowded and stuffy. After just one round, they were sweating. Julian, who disliked crowded places, suggested leaving. Lily was more than eager to leave, feeling uneasy around him, fearing his kindness was a facade and that he might suddenly lash out at her. When they reached the leisure area on the first floor, Olivia started to act up, refusing to leave without having some sweets. Julian sternly warned her, "Eating too many sweet things will make all your teeth fall out." Whether his words were educational or not, they amused Lily. Who loved sweets more than Julian Sterling himself? It was like the pot calling the kettle black. As she smiled faintly, recalling Jul

On the white hospital bed, Lily Parker lay in a drowsy slumber, feeling as if her throat was burning and something was unbearably tight around it. In her haze, she weakly tried to remove the constriction but winced at the sharp pain on the back of her hand. Then someone held her hand, and she couldn't sleep anymore. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Eleanor Brown looking at her worriedly. Staring at the IV in her hand for a long time, she gradually remembered what had happened before she passed out. "You're finally awake," Eleanor sighed in relief. She pressed the call button for the doctor and adjusted the bed to a comfortable position for Lily, thoughtfully placing a pillow behind her back. "Eleanor..." Lily's voice was so weak and hoarse it was barely audible. Eleanor tucked her in and sat down beside the bed, speaking gently, "Your neck is injured, and it has affected your vocal cords. It's best not to talk for now." Eleanor, perceptive as always, knew what Lily wanted to ask ju

The events of the previous day still haunted her.The desperate criminal, cornered, had brandished a knife at the police, threatening them. Lily had been choked unconscious by his strong grip. Julian Sterling arrived with eyes as cold as glaciers. He had asked Eleanor to take care of the child and spoke with the police, who were trying to disperse the crowd and calm the criminal, waiting for the right moment to act. In a flash, Julian had pounced from behind, overpowering and twisting the man's arm until it seemed to break. The criminal's face twisted in pain as he screamed. Julian, his eyes blood-red like a demon from hell, continued to pummel him until he was restrained. If not for the intervention, the criminal might not have survived.Eleanor had followed the ambulance to the hospital, and Julian had come too, holding the child who cried incessantly. At the hospital, the doctors confirmed the child was just scared, but Lily had injured her throat. Seeing the bruises on Lily's neck

Lily Parker leaned back against the soft pillow, her hospital gown hanging loosely on her frame. She lowered her head, extending her slender hand from the wide sleeve to gently touch her abdomen. Was there really a child growing there? Her menstrual cycle had always been irregular, often occurring only once every two months, each time bringing pain so intense it was likened to childbirth. She had sought medical advice and while medication regulated her cycle somewhat, it would revert to its erratic pattern once she stopped taking it. Even traditional medicine seemed only a temporary fix. It was said that with such conditions, conception could be challenging. Her mother had comforted her, saying she had experienced similar issues in her youth but things normalized after becoming a mother. These past few months, her period hadn't come, and initially, she attributed it to the stress of recent events, not giving it much thought. She had harbored suspicions, but surely... Her breath hitc

At noon, Margret Parker arrived, bringing Lily's favorite fruits and a comforting meal of millet porridge mixed with pickled radish. Lily, restricted to a liquid diet, managed to eat two hearty bowls. Margret rubbed her frozen hands together, looking at her daughter with a mix of love and concern, "Look at you, how thin you've become! Your father and I were terrified yesterday. What would we do if something happened to you?"Lily's eyes filled with deep remorse, "Mom, I'm sorry... How's dad?"Margret replied, "He's much better, just a bit unsteady on his feet. He's always been the stoic type, not much for words, but he's been worried sick. I didn't let him come because of his mobility issues. We were planning to go back home in a few days, but with your current condition, I'm afraid we can't leave just yet.""It's just a minor injury, I'll be out of the hospital soon," Lily said hoarsely, deciding to keep her pregnancy a secret for now. She just couldn't bring herself to speak of it.

Wouldn't have experienced this pain. "Shut up!" Julian suddenly flung the towel in his hand, knocking over a thermos on the coffee table. The inner lining shattered, scattering across the floor, filling the air with the scent of porridge. A nurse, hearing the noise, entered uninvited, only to be yelled at and chased out by Julian's fierce demeanor. Anyone would have fled from such a sight. Lily involuntarily shivered, her cold fingertips unconsciously picking at the bedsheet to hide her nervousness. Julian glared at her fiercely, his eyes filled with raw anger. But when he saw the bandage around her neck, recalling the harrowing incident from the day before, his heart softened. His face showed a complex expression. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he spoke more gently, "Don't ever say that again." From the beginning of their encounter, no one knew what would happen. A game of possession had unknowingly changed its course. She was the one he wanted to settle down with. She was g

Indeed, nothing could be hidden from him.This position allowed her to hear his strong, forceful heartbeat. Julian Sterling was undoubtedly dominant. Sometimes overbearing, sometimes gentle, he easily captured many women's hearts. They had been together for nearly half a year; to say he had no effect on her would be a lie. But his proclamation of love for her – how much of it was genuine, how much was comparison, and how much was defiance? And for her to fall in love with him was even more difficult.Lily lifted her head, his lips just grazing her cheek. The warm sun, breaking through the clouds, cast a soft shadow on his slightly stiff back, his face expressionless. She turned her gaze away towards the room's disarray, reflecting the hardships she had endured over the past year. After a moment of silence, she asked, "How do yo

Lucas Hartley once said that people of their status could have everything, learn anything, except how to love. They were doomed to a rocky path in romance, so it was best to avoid love at all costs. Once trapped, there was no escape. It seemed he was right.Julian still went to the hospital. There she was, Lily Parker, lying frailly, her gaze landing on her stomach where his child was growing. At that moment, nothing else mattered. She didn't love him, but his love for her was enough. She didn't want the child, but he did. Whether it was demanding, extravagant, or a plea, he must have gone mad. He had been crazy about her since their first meeting, doing things he never imagined he would.He thought perhaps Lily was the calamity in his absurd life, sent to redeem him.Lily,

However, Lily seemed indifferent to his efforts, which only added to his frustration. One day, as Lily was tearfully watching a movie, Julian, feeling neglected, couldn't stand it anymore. "Why watch these kinds of movies? They're so unproductive, and you'll ruin your eyes crying." He didn't find the movie touching at all; in fact, he disliked any movie that made her cry.Lily gave him a look and said with a nasal voice, "You go watch your financial reports and economic news, and don't bother me!" Julian immediately shut up but still stayed by her side. In the movie, the heroine tells the hero that they should walk a hundred steps away from each other, and if they look back and still see each other, she would listen to him.Lily was feeling emotional when Julian, in a mood-killing moment, said, "Why walk? Just hug her and kiss her un

Julian began to understand after Charlotte's talk. Just when he was at a loss for how to make amends, a timely call from his mother, Mrs. Sterling, came to his rescue. Mrs. Sterling called Lily directly. Lily was somewhat surprised and nervously answered, "Mom." "Lily, have your parents gone back?" "Yes." "Then why haven't you and Julian come back for dinner? Are you two having a quarrel?" Lily stuttered in response, "No, no, we're just busy, sorry, Mom.""I don't think it's just being busy. I asked Julian, and those rumors in the newspaper are all false. Don't worry too much about it," Mrs. Sterling reassured. "Yes, I'm fine, Mom. Don't worry about me," Lily responded. Mrs. Sterling was referring to the previous day's entertainment headlines, which speculated about Julian's new love interest. Lily had to admit, seeing that report did unsettle her for a moment.

Even as a young boy, too proud to ask for help, he would just softly call her "sister," and she would relent. As he grew up and became a man in his own right, he no longer needed her help.Charlotte sat down again, "Now you're worried, but where was this concern earlier? Do you really want to lose your wife before you're happy?" "I won't divorce her. She can't make me," Julian said stubbornly.Charlotte shook her head disapprovingly. With that temper, it's a miracle things haven't fallen apart already. "What you need to do is keep Lily's heart. What's the use of just keeping her physically? Mom just asked about Lily; I guess she doesn't know about your issues, does she?""How could I tell her?" Julian nodded, then curiously asked what else their mother had said.

Marriage is like a besieged city; those outside want to get in, and those inside want to escape. — Qian ZhongshuAfter Sophia Sterling had her fill and fussed around Lily Parker for a while, she gradually fell asleep.Lily rested her hand on the bedside, half-leaning against the bed frame, and gazed thoughtfully at her son, who bore a striking resemblance to Julian Sterling.Her mother's words still echoed in her ears, "It takes a hundred years to share a boat, a thousand to share a pillow. Marriage isn't child's play; it's not something you enter or leave on a whim. These young people are just being reckless." Her mother's eyes were full of disapproval. "Lily, don't you agree?"Recently, TV dramas

As if remembering something, she picked up her suitcase, unzipped it, and pulled out a gray sweater that was still unfinished, with a ball of yarn attached. It was clear from the style that it was a men's sweater.She touched the pattern on it and said, "I secretly learned to knit this from Aria. I wanted to surprise you on your birthday. It's not very well done. I kept dropping stitches at the beginning, and it's badly damaged."She held up the sweater for him to see, a hint of a smile on her lips, though it was a smile filled with bitterness.Julian Sterling cleared his throat and, regardless of whether she wanted it or not, pulled her tightly into his arms, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, Lily, I was wrong... I'm so sorry..."

The air in the room seemed to freeze."What did you just say?" Julian Sterling spoke softly but held Lily Parker's wrist tightly, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "I didn't quite catch that. Say it again."Lily lowered her gaze and took a deep breath. "I said, we should..." She hesitated.The all-too-familiar scent overwhelmed her as he swept her into his arms. He kissed her deeply, shutting down all the words she didn't want to hear, trapping them between their entwined lips and tongues.She widened her eyes and struggled weakly. Her feeble punches landed on him, neither hurting nor bothering him. She eventually collapsed into his embrace, allowing him to do as he pleased.

These past few days, Julian's god mother had been visiting their home. She doted on Julian the most, and since she couldn't attend their wedding, this was her first time meeting Lily, and she naturally scrutinized her daughter-in-law with a discerning eye."Sweetie, your husband isn't complaining of being tired. Why are you?" Julian bit her lip gently and spoke slowly, then lifted her nightgown, sliding off her undergarments and caressing her, before gently entering her.Her sweetness drove him wild. It had been so long since they'd been together, and his passion couldn't be contained. He pushed into her again and again, making her whimper in pain and pleasure. He held her down, much like a butterfly pinned and ravished.He still craved more, lifting her legs onto his should

Lunch was served in the art gallery's attached restaurant, and Amelia Hamilton's parents also joined. It was her first exhibition as the gallery's director, and this meal served as a small celebration, with many friends and acquaintances filling up the table. Lily Parker ate her meal quietly, responding politely to any questions and maintaining her composure. Although Mrs. Sterling felt that Lily's performance could have been better, she found it quite satisfactory. At the very least, there was nothing to criticize.Towards the end of the meal, Julian Sterling called Lily on her phone. The restaurant was noisy, so Lily politely excused herself and went to the foyer to answer the call."Where are you? It sounds lively over there," Julian's voice sounded somewhat lazy, as if he had just woken up.

As the cool spring night settled in, Julian pulled the blanket higher, covering them both. He whispered softly, "Enough 'buts.' I'm here for everything, and you can always trust me. It's getting late, and I have an early morning meeting. Let's get some rest, okay?"Julian Sterling, the unwavering head of the family, held a position that was beyond reproach, even in matters of the heart. In his world, his words were law. Just a few days after their wedding, Julian decided to embark on a business trip to Singapore, which would keep him away for half a month.Lily Parker constantly reassured herself, reminding herself that she had married this man and integrating into his family was her duty. After all, those in high positions were just ordinary people, and with effort and determination, she could surely adapt. However, reality had diff
