Chapter 56 Puppet (II)
Julian wasn't sure what Lily's research entailed and was too proud to ask. Assuming she was interested in local folklore and traditions, he took her to the theater in the eastern part of the town. The venue often showcased local performances, making it a fitting choice. However, instead of the usual operas, today's performance featured a puppet show accompanied by the rhythmic beats of drums and gongs.
After watching for a short while and finding it uninteresting, Julian stood up, ready to leave. But as he turned to Lily, he noticed her gaze fixed intently on the stage, completely engrossed. Biting his lip, he sat back down.

Today, Lily Parker had done just that.His anger flared instantly, a chaotic mix of bile, heart, rage, and malicious fire all igniting at once. His face tensed, his voice dark and threatening, "Are you throwing my kindness back in my face?"

In the night, she kept rolling to the edge of the bed in her sleep, and each time he discovered it, he pulled her back. After a few repeats, he grew impatient and simply wrapped his arms and legs around her.

In the sprawling apartment, only the two of them were present, the space echoing with emptiness and silence. Lily lay sprawled in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, doing nothing, not speaking, her eyes forlornly gazing out at the view, silent as if lost in a trance.Julian Sterling had just finished a business call in the study. When he came out and saw her listless form, a pang of discomfort struck his heart. He strode over quickly, lifting her effortlessly around the waist and settling her onto the sofa, "Why are you as light as a feather?" Seeing her reluctance to speak, he kissed her forehead playfully, coaxing her, "What are you thinking about? Don't you love movies? We have lots of new ones at home. Why not watch them?"Lily Parker's gaze fell, and she reluctantly allowed herself to be embraced, so she simply rested her hea

His fist was lacerated by the shattered glass, but he felt no pain, only a fixed gaze on Lily's eyes. Eyes that were naturally joyful, that once sparkled with the brightness of spring, now indifferent, now failing to see him in their reflection. Anger boiled within him, his heart seething with pain, his body trembling with fury, his handsome face flushed with a terrifying ferocity.Lily, with courage from some unknown reserve, laughed instead of crying. "Mr. Sterling, I truly pity you," she emphasized fearlessly. In her eyes, a person completely devoid of understanding love was the most pitiable creature in the world.
