His Lily.
She must be his destined nemesis.
At this moment, Aidan Lucas can't help but harbor an extremely irresponsible thought.
He wants to leave everything behind...
Leave his family, honor, and responsibilities behind and elope with her.
He doesn't want to be apart from her... even if it means dying by her side, he would willingly do so.
The more he watches her sleep, the more he finds her sleeping face peaceful and delicately beautiful.
Aidan Lucas leans in, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Kissing her smooth forehead, he muses to himself that it's wonderful to have her around at least for this moment.
His Lily, his treasure, his beloved wife that he loves dearly...
He genuinely wishes it could always be like this, being with her, loving her.
...
Having held Lily for only a short while, the woman suddenly opens her eyes.
Her gorgeous peach blossom eyes blink twice, seemingly stunned by his unbelievably handsome face up close.
