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
Chapter 75“Yes, just send me all the files that I have to check, okay?” Aemon said to his secretary over the phone. Lily was sleeping peacefully while he was working beside her. His laptop was on his lap while there were papers around the bed. Good thing that Lily does not move a lot when she’s sleeping. It sounds crazy, but his exhaustion fades when he looks at his wife. She is like a medicine to him.“I will not be able to visit there. Paul will be there while I work here in my h–” “Aemon! Lily!” His eyebrows crossed when he heard Frederick calling them outside while banging the door so hard. “What the hell?” he mumbled.“Sir?” His secretary called.“I’ll call you back,” he replied.“Aemon!” “Who’s that?” Lily asked as she woke up by Frederick’s loud knocking on their door. “Frederick,” he said before she quickly stood up to open the door before Frederick could even destroy it by himself.“Goodness, Ae–”“What?! Are you going to destroy this d*mn door?!” he exclaimed with annoya
Chapter 76"Her mother?" Eliza asked when Lily just left the table because of the sudden arrival of her mother. Lily never mentioned anything about her parents to her. Maybe because of the short days that they have spent together. If Lily stayed there for long, she would definitely have the chance to tell what she feels to her parents. "Long story," Leonora said. "She's not on good terms with her," Aemon said and sighed as he went back to his seat. Meanwhile, when Lily went to their living room, she found her mother standing on their huge picture frame. It was her wedding picture with Aemon. They both couldn't even smile at all. How could they? It was an arranged marriage that suddenly worked. She never thought that she would love him this much. "Lily!" she exclaimed and ran towards her. A tight hug is what she only does without any words. "Why are you here?" Lily asked. Her mother only looked at her emotionally before her fingers began to linger on her face. Those eyes watered wh
