Startled, Lily instinctively pulled away and said, “Let’s just make something simple, like noodles. You don’t eat eggs much, so I’ll add some vegetables and shredded meat.” Then she busied herself with cooking, avoiding looking at Julian's expression. Amidst the thunderous roars, the only sound was the sizzling of the wok. It was like a silent rejection. Julian stepped back, watching her back intently. His eyes shone like obsidian, strong and bright, but there was a hollow weakness in their depths. Was it still not enough? They remained silent. Julian quietly finished a bowl of shredded meat noodles at the dining table, his throat tight, unable to taste the food. Lily sat on the sofa behind him, silently knitting a sweater. She had only recently learned and was not skilled, but she forced herself to focus on it, avoiding looking at the man sitting not far away. Somehow, his presence made even the loud thunder seem less frightening. After cleaning up post-dinner, it was already ele

Every time the topic of marriage came up, she changed her demeanor. Accepting him, didn’t that mean she planned to spend her life with him? Did she want to continue like this, having to knock on the door to see her own husband and child, calling her child’s grandparents 'Uncle' and 'Auntie'? He had never felt so powerless in his life. Today’s visit from the lawyer was a test of her attitude, and it had clearly backfired.   Lily was taken aback by his question, then gave a bitter smile, “I don’t agree to marry because I don’t think it’s the right time for us.” A marriage without even a period of adjustment was unimaginable to her.   “So when is the right time? Wait until our child is old enough to run errands? There are still two weeks until the due date, enough time for you to think. But we need to register before that!”

When Lily woke up, she felt as if she had been reborn. Barely moving her fingers, Julian, who had been dozing off at the edge of the bed, immediately woke up. He tenderly touched her pale face, asking with concern, "Do you want some water? Or something to eat?" People said that women with children usually looked fuller, but why did she still look so delicate? She shook her head, her gaze wandering around the room, "Where's the baby?" Julian held her hand tighter, "Next door. Your mom stayed until he fell asleep before leaving. There's a nurse with him now. Should I bring him here?" Her parents had stayed until the morning. Concerned about Henry's health, Julian had someone take them home to rest. As for himself, he had barely slept. "Let him sleep. I don't have the strength

Moreover, Julian's sister Olivia had taken a liking to Lily and was now advising her on how to play hard to get. Lily, who could have easily been the happy Mrs. Sterling, was influenced by Olivia to join the workforce, working a nine-to-five job. To add insult to injury, Julian once went to pick her up and found her chatting amiably with a male colleague who, according to 'reliable sources', was one of several men undeterred by her status as a single mother and persistently pursuing her. The audacity of these men under his watchful eye infuriated Julian. He couldn't bear the thought of what might happen when he wasn't around! No, he had to act fast. He had indulged her whims for a year; it was time to extinguish any lingering flames of resistance. She was to be his wife and no one else's! After much thought, Julian decided he needed

Thanks to the excellent genes of his parents, little Alexander Sterling was incredibly adorable, especially when he looked at someone with his big, round eyes, making it impossible to refuse any of his requests. His eyes were just like his mother's. Julian Sterling felt sentimental, remembering how he had been captivated by those innocent eyes. Ah, love. His temperament was just like his father's. Lily Parker felt helpless. Marrying a tyrant was one thing, but giving birth to a mini-tyrant was another. Such was life. Outside, little Alexander used the limitless potential inherited from his father to reign supreme, but once at home, he promptly displayed his
