Chapter 67Well, Aemon couldn't sleep that night. When the maids told him that it was not them who cooked the soup but Lily by herself, he cannot drop it from his head. He looks like a teenager who couldn't help but to smile alone with that thought. Yes, it was a small thing. But it means a lot to him. "What now, Cooper? It's fvcking 3 am!" Paul exclaimed over the phone when he dialed his number just because he couldn't sleep at all. It's driving him crazy. Lily denied it to him, but the important thing is that she was really the one who made it and not the maids. "Lily's driving me crazy," he uttered while looking at the ceiling. "Tsk, is that even new? She always drives you crazy," he said and yawned. "She served me soup earlier in the morning…then she said the maids made it but then they told me that Lily made it by herself." He discussed that and made Paul silent for a while. "You should be happy, then. I told you, Lily is mad at you, but she's still into you." Paul said. Sle
Chapter 68"Lily, please don't get me wrong. I think your husband didn't really want what happened. I have no idea what it was, but whatever it is, I'm sure if he knows, he won't do it." Eliza said over the phone while Lily was crying in her bed. She was hugging the bed so tight while feeling the pain running through her chest. "Just think of it, Lily." Eliza said, convincing her. It's because she saw how sincere her husband is. And she saw how much he loves her. Everything that happened was running in Lily's head. She has a point, but Lily's mind was so close that she couldn't understand everything aside from her grief. Eliza ended the call and let her be alone. She didn't come out of her room that night. "She walked out?" Leonora asked on the phone while Aemon was on the shore, drinking alone. It shatters her. Not because Lily acted like that when he tried to serenade her but because of her words that killed him to the bone. "Yeah, she did." Aemon said and smiled weakly. Pain co
Chapter 69"Have a seat," he pulled the chair gently for her as she agreed to have dinner with him. It feels like he won the lottery when Lily said yes. He was d*mn nervous when he asked her. But right now, it feels like he is on top of the world, wearing a huge smile on his lips. Lily was just staring at her husband as he sat in front of her. He was smiling from ear to ear like a teenager who was answered by the person he really likes. She saw how she could easily make him smile and how much he waited for this. While looking at him, what Leonors told her is running in her head. She remembers the day she saw how damaged he was from the death of his parents. How Aemon avoids telling her about what happened. Of all the people around them, she was the one who knows well how much he wanted to make them pay. Those people behind his parents death also tried killing him. If he was killed that day, would she even want it? It tears her inside just by thinking about it. He is a good man. But
Chapter 70Lily was trembling. Her heart was drumming so loud as she couldn't breathe properly as if it was held for a moment. Aemon couldn't speak at all after Lily revealed her pregnancy. It was not her plan. She was near to tell them about it, but why does he have to know at this moment? The guilt of conscience was knocking on her chest. Aemon couldn't absorb what she just said. His world stopped temporarily while looking at his wife. "Y-You're what?" he asked. "I'm pregnant…we're having a child," Lily said as her voice broke. Not because of sadness but in happiness that fills her heart. She never knew that what she was trying to hide from him before would make her the happiest right now. Tears began to rain from her eyes while eyeing Aemon. They have been through a lot. It's been a rolling coaster for the two of them. And now, here they are, becoming parents. "Since when?" Aemon asked firmly. He was too stunned to take action. "Since when I was on that island," Lily said and
Chapter 71As usual, the wind is blowing swiftly. The ocean's waves were roaring softly. There was no noise that made the place serene, away from the real world. The trees and plants around were dancing gently by the wind. Lily was out, standing at her favorite spot. She can spend her entire life on this island. "Lily," Aemon called as he walked towards Lily wearing his sunglasses with his hands buried in his pockets. She smiled softly as her husband arrived. "Hey," she uttered. "Time to leave," he said and grabbed her waist closer to him. Lily nodded before she sighed as she glanced at the ocean again. "I'm not ready to leave," she said and smiled weakly. This ocean became her home. "You were so mad when I kidnapped you and I brought you here," Aemon said and chuckled. "Not on this island, I love it." She replied. Even though she loves this island, they cannot escape forever. They cannot run from the life they both have. "I have a question," she uttered before her eyes shifted
Chapter 72"What is it this time?" Raf asked. "Mango graham, and mango graham cake." He said and showed what he made for his wife. Raf sighed, getting sick of mangoes. "I'm getting sick of it," he uttered. "Well, this is not for you." Aemon said harshly. "They are done," Paul commented as he appeared in the kitchen."Really? I thought my grandma would sleep with my wife with her nonstop stories," Aemon said in distress. She has been so protective to Lily that she couldn't bear not to see Lily around her. "Where's Lily?" Aemon asked when the three of them went back to the living room. Their grandmother was only on the sofa, busy on her phone while waiting for Lily. "Oh, she went upstairs. She will be back, we still have a lot to talk about." She giggled like a teenager. How many things do they have to talk about? "What? You're not done yet?" Raf asked in surprise. "I pity Lily," Paul murmured. How can she bear listening to all her stories for how many hours? She's probably tryin
Chapter 73“Eliza!” Lily shouted as soon as she came out of their car and Eliza was there in front of the guards. It’s a good thing that they let them sit while waiting though. She will be pissed if she saw her standing the entire time while waiting for her. “Goodness, you’re finally here.” She uttered when Lily hugged her tight. This girl traveled a long way. “Why didn’t you tell me that you’re coming?” Lily asked. She was really surprised by her sudden arrival. “Girl, I want to surprise you. But these guys surprised me,” she said and rolled her eyes at them. “I was terrified, they have huge bodies.” She added and wrapped her hands on her arm. “Don’t mind them, they won’t bite you.” Lily said and chuckled. “Anyways, I bought you mangoes and some other fruits. Gosh, you should eat other fruits too, you know?” “Who is that?” Raf asked Leonora. They are all out of their cars while watching Lily talk with that new girl. “She’s kinda pretty,” Paul commented.“Woah, are you starting
Chapter 74“What?” Lily asked while her hands were shivering. Her heart suddenly began to pound as she looked at Aemon. Meanwhile, Eliza was biting her lip after hearing that. She kept trying to tell her earlier that Ron is actually coming with her. But then, they kept cutting her out. Now, it has become a problem. “What the hell is he doing here?” Frederick asked when he came inside after smoking. Eliza smelled the reek of a cigarette as he came back. Well, Frederick knows him. Leonora and him saw how that guy kissed Lily. They were also there when Aemon almost killed him. “Let him in,” Aemon said coldly. “Aemon,” Lily called, stunned by his sudden decision. It’s not like he doesn’t want to see Ron. It’s just that they might start a fight. “Copy, sir.” The man said and quickly ran outside. “He is your friend, right?” He asked. Lily could not answer at all with those cold eyes. He was obviously sarcastic. Well, Aemon will never forget how that man kissed his woman while they were
