Chapter 60 Understand (II)
Aside from a few elders in his family, Julian Sterling had never been rebuked like this, nor did anyone dare to do so. 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?" Before Lily could react, she was forcefully pinned to the bed, held so tightly she couldn't move, his rough hand gripping her neck as if he wanted to strangle her, "What don't you want? My house, my car, or me?"
Lily gasped desperately for air, her face turning from red to purple as she struggled to breathe. Just when she thought she couldn't take it anymore and might die, Julian finally let go, his expression cooling down as well. His eyes bore down on her menacingly as he patted

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

Julian, a man who favored cleanliness, took a shower as soon as they returned. Lily was left alone in the living room, feeling as though she had forgotten something important.

She didn't think much of it and switched it on to call Nathan, ensuring him she was safe and exchanging a few words before hanging up.But no sooner had she ended the call than her phone screen lit up with an unfamiliar number. It was a new number, provided by Julian, and not many people had it. Who could it be?Hesitant, Lily still answered the call with a soft "Hello?"The moment the caller uttered

To so blatantly despise him without a hint of concealment—was this how she felt about Julian Sterling? In a fit of rage, Julian punched the mirror wall beside him, and in an instant, it cracked like a spider's web. 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.

His first reaction was to touch her forehead, and he quickly breathed a sigh of relief—thankfully, she didn't have a fever.He changed his clothes and carried her to the dining room, patting her head soothingly, "You look so listless. Hungry, aren’t you? Come on, eat something first." She silently took a few bites before putting down her chopsticks, which displeased him. "Is that all you're eating? Have a bit more!"She shook her head, "I feel sick, I can't eat anymore.""Where does it hurt?" He reached

The brilliant sunlight streamed into the room, post-passion, where two people lay intimately entwined on the disheveled black bed.Julian Sterling's eyes were tightly closed, his breathing steady as if he were still asleep. His dark eyebrows, straight nose, and thin lips made his facial features strikingly handsome. His sleeping expression was as peaceful as a child's. But Lily knew all too well that when awake, this man was an imperious tyrant, a contradiction no one else could match. She slowly closed her eyes, tears flowing uncontrollably.Her silent sobs woke Julian. The intense lovemaking had drained much of his energy. Squinting at the clock, he muttered groggily, "Why are you awake? It's still early!" Only then did he sense something amiss.

As dawn approached, Lily Parker once again lay stealthily beside Julian Sterling, still at a distance, still curled up, still with her back to him. Julian cracked open his eyes to look at her, her petite and delicate silhouette, so thin it was heart-wrenching. He thought about how he should nourish her properly, but she hardly ate anything, and once she started crying, it seemed endless. How could she ever become strong? He pursed his lips and continued to feign sleep. When it was time to go to work, Julian got up, quickly freshened up, and changed into a suit. Instinctively, he glanced towards the bed and found Lily watching him. Their eyes met, and she immediately closed hers in embarrassment, which delighted him. His lips curved into a slight smile as he approached her, bending down to plant a gentle kiss on her face, chucklin
