My Cold Husband It Meant Something
It wasn’t just a distraction. It couldn’t be. At least not for her. Maybe she should wait till her mind cleared, she told herself, maybe she was too high on stress and emotions. But then she closed her eyes for a brief second, swallowing the pang of disappointment that threatened to rise. It was just a distraction, she told herself again, trying to convince her heart to accept the truth. But no matter how hard she tried, the feeling that there was something more-something deeper between them-lingered. Yet, she didn’t say a word. She only nodded again, trying to mask the confusion and longing stirring within her. The room had settled into a fragile silence, the air still charged with the remnants of everything that had passed between them. Lily sat on the edge of the bed, her knees pulled up to her chest, arms wrapped tightly around them. Aaron had stepped away, giving her space, but he lingered nearby, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest, he got up s

“I meant what I said, Lily. I won’t push you into anything you’re not clearly ready for. But if you’re asking whether it meant something to me-then yes. It did. It was a distraction for your sake, not mine.” Lily’s breath caught, her hazel eyes wide as she stared up at him. With that Aaron got up and made his way out the door.Lily sat still, the warmth of the blankets wrapped around her shoulders, her gaze lingering on the spot where Aaron had sat just moments ago.His words echoed in her mind: "If you're asking whether it meant something to me-then yes. It did."Her chest tightened, and her fingers clutched the fabric of the blanket as if it could anchor her to the moment. The vulnerability in his voice, the honesty in his eyes-it all lingered, pulling her deeper into emotions she wasn’t ready to name, it should feel like too much-too much happening too fast, but it didnt. It felt like what was happening should happen.But even now, her mind waged war with itself. One voice remin

Aaron led Lily through a narrow hallway, up a metal staircase, and finally to a door with faded paint. He pushed it open and stepped aside, his hand lightly touching her lower back as he guided her forward. Lily froze in the doorway as her breath caught slightly. The rooftop garden stretched before her, wild and unkempt but undeniably beautiful. Overgrown ivy clung to the railings, and clusters of flowers-violets, daisies, roses, peonies, sunflowers and something yellow she couldn’t name-poked through cracks in the stone floor. In one corner hung a double seater swing, sun-bleached and inviting. Beyond the edge of the roof, the sprawling city skyline glittered in the sunlight, a sea of glass and steel shimmering under the morning glow. “It’s…” Lily trailed off, words failing her as she stepped closer. “Peaceful?” Aaron offered, his voice low but steady. She nodded faintly. “Yeah.” Aaron’s lips twitched into a faint smile as he stepped forward. “Come on.” They walke

"Aaron Knight can." He replied. "It's your's now."Her throat tightened again, but this time, she didn’t look away. “Thank you, Aaron,” she said softly. Aaron pushed himself up from the swing and held out his hand to her. “Come on. There’s one more thing I want to show you.” Lily hesitated for just a second before slipping her hand into his. His grip was firm, warm, and steady-the kind of touch that felt safe. Maybe it really was the truth-she was safe with him.As they walked across the rooftop, side by side, Lily realized something; the storm in her mind hadn’t disappeared, but for the first time in a long while, it felt… quieter, like the voices had gone for a power nap.And maybe, just maybe, that was enough for now and she was grateful for it.Lily’s hand stayed tucked in Aaron’s as he led her across the rooftop. His grip was firm and warm. They walked in silence, their footsteps soft against the weathered stone floor, the faint sound of distant traffic blending with the breez

Lily ran her fingers over the worn cover, the leather warm under her touch. “Thank you, it means a lot.” she whispered. Aaron nodded once before leaning back against the alcove wall, his eyes drifting closed as the sunlight warmed his face. Lily stayed where she was, clutching the journal tightly in her hands. For the first time in what felt like forever, the storm inside her didn’t feel so suffocating. Aaron saw her worthy of this journal-last gift from his grandmother. And as she glanced sideways at Aaron-this man who carried his own scars but still found ways to help her breathe-she realized something. Maybe healing wasn’t about finding a cure. Maybe it was about finding someone who made the weight a little easier to carry. Here’s the next chapter, continuing the emotional depth and exploring the growing connection between Lily and Aaron. The rooftop had become a fragile cocoon, shielding them from the noise of the world below. Time felt suspended, the morning sun rising high

Aaron’s expression sobered slightly as his silver eyes locked onto hers. “You learn because you’ve had to. Because no one was there to do it for you, so you want to do it for someone else." The weight of his words hung between them, heavy but honest. "Empathy." Lily said before sipping the hot chocolate. "Yes, but this is not empathy...it's not just empathy." Aaron's eyes bore into Lily's and she held them for two seconds before dropping her gaze to the mug of hot chocolate in her hand. They sat there for a while, sipping their hot chocolate and letting the warmth settle into their bones. Lily found herself studying Aaron-his sharp jawline, the faint crease between his brows, the way his lips curled ever so slightly when he caught her staring, how he sipped his hot chocolate and how his adam's apple moved when he swallowed it. “Thank you,” she said softly. Aaron looked up, tilting his head slightly. “For looking charming?” Lily's lips curled slightly "Shut up." “For… e

The walk to the bookstore was shorter than she expected. Nestled between two larger buildings, its faded sign read "Willow’s Nook.” A small bell chimed as they stepped inside, and the scent of old paper and polished wood greeted them. The librarian was a small lady with a bob cut and cat eyed glasses, probably in her fifties.The space was cozy, with narrow aisles lined with overflowing shelves and dim lamps casting a warm glow. It felt like stepping into another world, one untouched by time.Aaron guided her to a section near the back, where mismatched armchairs sat tucked in a corner. “This is the best spot,” he said with a grin. Lily wandered over to a nearby shelf, running her fingers along the spines of old books. Aaron watched her. Minutes passed, but the silence wasn’t uncomfortable. Lily finally pulled a worn poetry book from the shelf, her eyes scanning the faded gold lettering on the cover. When she looked up, Aaron was watching her from across the aisle, a faint smile pl

Clara rolled her eyes. “If he hasn’t already reorganized the spice rack alphabetically, I’ll be shocked.”A soft chuckle escaped Lily’s lips despite the heaviness in her chest, and Aaron offered his hand to help her up. She took it hesitantly, her smaller hand fitting into his larger one."Dont you think he's a bit robot like?" Clara asked scrunching her nose."A bit?" Lily asked raising her brows at Clara.In the kitchen, Damian was leaning against the counter, a steaming mug of coffee in hand. He glanced up when they entered, his usual stoic expression softening just slightly. Clara marched in ahead of them, opening the refrigerator door. “Alright, chef Aaron, what’s on the menu?”Aaron walked over to the stove, his tie slightly loosened now. “Damian, did you cook anything or just stand there intimidating the toaster?” Damian raised an unimpressed brow. “I made coffee. You’re welcome.”Clara let out a snort, pulling out a carton of eggs. “Alright, coffee king, move aside. Aaron, y

My Cold Husband Thoughts Interrupted
Lily leaned against the armrest of the couch, her legs curled beneath her as she mindlessly scrolled through her phone. The television played softly in the background, its colors casting a faint glow across the room. It had been a long day of tension and subtle shifts, the evening was quiet and Lily had came back from college tired.She hadn’t seen Aaron since yesterday, and part of her was grateful for the reprieve. But another part of her-a part she didn’t want to acknowledge-missed his presence.Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching. She glanced up to find Aaron standing in the doorway, his tie loosened and the sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows. His hair was slightly disheveled, something that stirred something inside Lily's stomach.“Relaxing?” he asked, his voice breaking the silence.Lily nodded, setting her phone aside. “Trying to. What about you? No big deals to close tonight?”Aaron smirked faintly as he stepped into the room. “Not ton
My Cold Husband Weight Of Unspoken Words
Lily shifted on her feet, avoiding his eyes. “Why wouldn’t I?”A small, humorless smile tugged at his lips. “Because you’ve been avoiding me all day.”“Whatever, I haven't,” she said quickly, but the defensive edge in her voice gave her away.Aaron pushed off the desk, taking a slow step toward her. “You have, Lily.”Her breath hitched, and she took a step back, only to realize she was already at the door. Trapped. “I just... I needed space, okay?”“From me?” he asked, his voice low, almost a whisper.Her gaze flickered to his, and the raw vulnerability in his eyes made her chest tighten. “I don’t know,” she admitted quietly.Aaron closed the remaining distance between them, his hand coming up to rest lightly against the doorframe beside her. “Lily, if I’ve done something to make you uncomfortable-”“You didn’t,” she cut him off, her words tumbling out too quickly. She hesitated, her eyes dropping to the floor. “It’s not you. It’s me. I just... don’t know how to deal with any of this.
My Cold Husband Complex Conversations
She didn’t have an answer for that, and he took another step closer, the space between them growing smaller and smaller.Before the tension could escalate further, Damian appeared in the doorway. “Mr. Knight, the car is ready.”Aaron sighed, glancing at Lily one last time before nodding at Damian. Lily watched as he straightened his jacket and adjusted his cuffs. “Is this a deja vu?” she asked, surprising even herself with the question.“I found out my meeting would be late so I could use some time here.” he said casually."What? 15 minutes?" Lily made an 'are you serious' face.Aaron paused, his hand on the doorframe. He turned to her, his gaze softening. “Wanted to spend more time.”And with that, he was gone. It was so childish of him, Lily thought.Lily spent most of the day trying to focus on her classes and assignments, but her thoughts kept drifting back to Aaron. His words, his touch, his presence-they were like a storm she couldn’t escape, no matter how hard she tried.Back
My Cold Husband Tense Encounters
They sat in silence for a few moments, the tension between them thick enough to cut with a knife. Lily reached for a piece of toast, her movement causing her shorts to ride up slightly. She noticed Aaron’s gaze shift again-brief, almost imperceptible, but it was there.“You’re awfully quiet this morning, why did you request my presence?” Lily said, her voice light as she buttered her toast.Aaron’s lips twitched into a faint smile, though his eyes remained guarded. “Just for breakfast.""And why so quiet?" "Just thinking." he replied.“About?” she prompted, tilting her head.He set his coffee mug down, leaning forward slightly. “About how you seem very comfortable this morning.”Lily raised an eyebrow, pretending not to catch his meaning. “I slept well. Is that a problem?”“Not at all,” Aaron said smoothly, though his voice had dropped a notch. He studied her for a moment longer before leaning back in his chair again, the picture of composure-except for the way his fingers tapped res
My Cold Husband Closing In But Moving Away
His gaze locked onto hers, a mixture of mischief and something deeper swirling in his blue eyes. “Goodnight, Lily,” he said softly, his voice carrying a warmth that made her knees feel weak.“Goodnight,” she managed to whisper, her voice barely audible.Aaron straightened but didn’t step away. His gaze lingered on her for a heartbeat longer before he finally turned, walking toward his office.As he disappeared down the hallway, Lily raised a hand to her cheek, her skin still tingling where his lips had been. Her thoughts were a chaotic swirl of confusion and longing. She couldn’t deny the pull she felt toward Aaron, but she also couldn’t shake the fear of what it all meant.Back in his room, Aaron sat on his bed after throwing his coat on it. He ran his hand through his hair as the realisation once again hit him:Lily Sterling was undoing him piece by piece. She had a way of breaking through the walls he had carefully built, making him crave things he had long since convinced himself
My Cold Husband Complex Feelings
“I’m fine,” she said quickly, too quickly.Damian didn’t press further, but Lily caught the subtle raise of his eyebrow. She sipped her tea, wishing the awkwardness of the moment would dissipate.As if on cue, Clara walked in, her cheerful presence instantly lightening the atmosphere.“Lily! You’re finally out of your room. I was starting to think you’d moved in there permanently,” Clara teased, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl.Lily forced a laugh. “Just needed some time to myself.”“Well, Aaron’s not here, if that’s what you’re worried about,” Clara added with a knowing smirk.Lily froze mid-sip. “Why would I be worried about that?”Clara shrugged, her smirk widening. “Oh, no reason. You just seemed a little... flustered last night.”Lily’s cheeks burned. She avoided Clara’s gaze, focusing intently on her tea.Damian cleared his throat, clearly uncomfortable with the conversation. “Mr. Knight mentioned he would be returning late tonight. He asked me to remind you not to wait up
My Cold Husband Intense Moments
Aaron tilted his head slightly, his lips brushing her temple in a featherlight touch that made her heart stutter. “Tell me to stop, and I will.” She swallowed hard, the words forming but never leaving her mouth. Did she want him to stop? Did she even know what she wanted anymore? When she didn’t answer, Aaron took it as permission, his lips ghosting down to her cheek, then to her jawline. Each touch sent shivers coursing through her, a warmth pooling in the pit of her stomach that she couldn’t ignore. Lily’s hands rested against his chest, her fingers curling slightly into his shirt as if to steady herself. The tension was suffocating, but in the most exhilarating way. “Aaron,” she finally managed to say, her voice barely audible. “Hmm?” His mouth lingered near the corner of her lips, tantalizingly close yet not quite there. “I don’t know what we’re doing,” she admitted, her honesty cutting through the haze between them. Aaron paused, pulling back just enough to meet her
My Cold Husband Aaron's Study
Lily turned toward Aaron, startled, the glass in her hand trembling slightly. “Do you always have to sneak up on people like that?”Aaron raised a brow, stepping into the kitchen with that quiet confidence that always seemed to unnerve her. “I wasn’t sneaking. You were too lost in thought to notice me.”She rolled her eyes, setting the glass down. “What do you want, Aaron?”“To check if you’ve finished sulking over your book,” he teased, leaning against the counter across from her.Lily huffed but couldn’t fight the faint smile tugging at her lips. “I wasn’t sulking. I was... processing.”“Processing?”“Yes. Processing how someone as insufferable as you managed to take over the living room and turn it into your makeshift office when you have your own study,"Aaron chuckled, his eyes glinting. “The study wont have you, but if you dont like my company, you're welcome to leave and occupy my study instead.”Lily narrowed her eyes, grabbing a dishcloth and tossing it at him. “You’re unbeli
My Cold Husband Normalcy
Lily nearly choked, coughing as she set her sandwich down. “He’s just...a family friend. I told you.”Maya raised a skeptical brow. “Right. Family friend who looks at you like you’re the only person in the room? Sure.”Lily groaned, burying her face in her hands. “It’s not like that.”“Whatever you say,” Maya teased, nudging her playfully.Later during the break, Aaron joined Lily in the courtyard. He had skipped one of his classes to take a call, but his focus was now entirely on her.“You’re handling this well,” he commented, handing her a bottle of water.“Handling what?”“The stares. The whispers. The attention.”Lily shrugged, though the weight of it was something she couldn’t deny. “I’ve learned to ignore it. Besides, I think most of the attention is because of you.”Aaron smirked, his confidence infuriatingly intact. “Can you blame them?”Before she could respond, a familiar voice called out. “Lily!”She turned to see one of her friends approaching, a wide grin on her face. "I
