That blazing red tangled with a shocking white-it was like crimson plum blossoms bursting into bloom in the

dead of winter, suddenly buried beneath a heavy fall of snow.

The snow pressed down the branches, bending them with its weight.

Fragrance wafted through the air. Seduction flooded every inch of the car.

“Lily, get away from me!”

James didn’t want this. Didn't want to kiss her. Forcing himself to turn his face away, he used every ounce of

willpower he had to shove her off, trembling as he did.

“Someone’s bringing the antidote. You won't feel like this for long. Stay away from me!”

When she tried to cling to him again, he shoved her aside with a cold face and wasted no tslipping into the

driver's seat.

“Mm...”

Lily had been quite content hugging that cool, icy jade—comfortably nestled against him.

Kissing it was even better.

She was happily wrapped around her human-shaped ice stone... until the stone suddenly calive, refused to

let her hold it, and even tossed her to the ground.

And then it yelled at her?

How could she not be mad?

Unable to hug her cold jade anymore, she tried to find sother way to cool off. If not, she'd really burn alive.

Hearing her little whimpering sobs of frustration, James glanced up at the rearview mirror without thinking.

He hadn't wanted to marry her. That was the truth.

But after spending twith her, he’d cto realize she wasn’t the shameless, irrational kind of woman he'd

assumed she was.

He thought once he pushed her off, even if she was uncomfortable, she'd sit still in the back seat like a decent

person.

He never imagined-she’d unzip the dress completely.

That red dress slipped loosely down to her waist, pooling around her like blooming red lotus petals cradling the

first snow of winter.

That dazzling white gleamed in the low light, carrying a faint fragrance, and burned straight into his

vision.

It wavered. It swayed. It blinded him.

“Lily1”

James’ voice was like a whipcrack. His expression turned deadly. “Put your clothes back on!”

But Lily couldn’t even understand what she was doing anymore. There was no way she'd follow orders.

Not only did she not pull her dress back up-she rolled up the hem lazily, and in a flash, two long, slender legs

stretched out in front of him.

She looked like a clueless little temptress who'd fallen straight into the mortal world-using the most innocent

face to commit the most maddening acts.

James’ face darkened several shades, like someone had just robbed him of a billion dollars.

His car had one-way tinted windows-he could see out, but no one could see in.

still, he could see.

And what he saw now nearly drove him insane.

The air in the car felt suffocating.

But with her in this state, he couldnt even crack a window.

Even blasting the air conditioning didn’t help.

Panicked, he tore his eyes away from the mirror. But even without looking, the image burned into his mind,

searing him like a brand.

He couldn't escape it.

He started silently reciting Bible verses he'd learned as a child.

But no matter how many times he repeated them, no peace came.

He wasn’t a monk. He was human. And his breath kept faltering.

Every second inside the car beca kind of torture.

He slammed the gas pedal, desperate to get her has fast as possible.

Once home, she could go to the bedroom. He'd sleep in the study. They'd keep their distance. Stay out of each

other's way.

By the tthey arrived, it was late. Everyone else at the Luke estate had gone to bed. The main house was

silent.

She looked like she’d fallen asleep. Her long lashes cast soft shadows on her cheeks, her lips were rosy, and her

face had a gentle flush.

She looked... calm. Innocent.

For a moment, James was stunned.

She looked so quiet like this, eyes closed.

But that dress barely covering her-she was anything but quiet.

There was no way he was going to carry her upstairs like this.

He shut his eyes, took a deep breath, and coldly ordered, “Lily. Fix your clothes. Go to your room.”

Lily wasn’t actually asleep-just resting her eyes.

His voice pulled her out of it. She

James clenched his jaw, frustrated. “Put your clothes on.”

Finally, she reacted.

“Kissonce, and I'll get dressed.”

James’ face turned stormy.

There was no way he was going to kiss her.

His heart belonged to Leila. That would never change.

He knew Lily wasn’t in her right mind. There was no point in reasoning with her. So he stopped wasting time.

Carrying her like this-one-armed-was more difficult than two.

But this way, he could minimize contact. And if that meant more effort on his part, so be it.
