NovelBookChapter 19 Clean and Pure, Just Like That
Her phone had also been taken by John.
Snatching it from the nightstand, Lily walked quickly toward the door.
She didn’t expect to run into Elsa in the hallway.
Elsa-wrapped in nothing but a bath towel.
John was right beside her.
Elsa’s face, always elegant and radiant, now wore a carefully crafted vulnerability, her eyes red as she threw
herself into John’s arms.
“John, | was so scared... Can you hold me?”
John didn’t push her away.
Watching them wrapped around each other, Lily felt nothing but relief. She had once been in pain- excruciating,
soul-ripping pain-but not once had she considered turning back.
Because every step taken back... would lead straight into a bottomless abyss.
What a joke. Just last night, John had promised he wouldn't let Elsa set foot in their marital home. Now, this
morning, she was here-wearing only a towel, like it was her palace.
“Lily...”
Only when Lily let out a short, amused laugh did the entangled pair finally notice her.
John quickly released Elsa and stepped away.
Elsa, her eyes still wet, looked at Lily and explained sweetly, “Lily, it’s not what you think. There's nothing
betweenand John. | got dirty after being rear-ended and just needed a quick shower.”
Her tone was calm and sincere, but her sultry Nirvana eyes were filled with blatant provocation.
It was obvious-she’d done this on purpose.
The towel, the timing-it was all calculated. She was hoping to spark something with John.
Lily didn’t bother arguing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was no point.
Fighting over a man who'd already changed hearts was like fighting over a used, bloodied tissue. Absolutely
meaningless.
And the irony?

Chapter 19
That towel Elsa was wearing-Lily had bought it for John.
When she moved out two weeks ago, she had forgotten to throw it away.
John hadn't expected Lily to appear just now. Rubbing his temples in frustration, he tried to explain, “Elsa got
rear-ended. She fell when she got out of the car, dirtied her clothes. This place was closest, so she cto clean
up. Don’t overthink it.”
“I'm not.”
Lily found his words more ridiculous than reassuring.
If he truly didn’t want anything to happen between them, he could've taken Elsa to a nearby hotel. Instead,
knowing full well what Elsa wanted, he'd brought her home.
How clean. How innocent.
There was no point loving him anymore. No point screaming, no point crying.
Besides, he was just her ex. She didn’t owe him anything.
She only wanted to retrieve her parents’ keepsake.
Spotting the necklace on Elsa’s neck, Lily decided to snatch it when Elsa least expected it.
But before she could even touch her, Elsa shrieked tically.
“Lily, what are you doing?!”
And just like that, the towel slipped off.
Nothing underneath.
“Elsa!”
John hadn't expected this sudden turn either.
He hadn't seen clearly what Lily did, but instinct told him she had pulled the towel off.
To him, her actions were absolutely unacceptable.
His already cold voice turned frigid. “Lily, how could you? Elsa’s a woman-how could you rip off her towel in
public?”
He bent down, ready to retrieve the towel and wrap it back around Elsa.
But Lily was faster.
She grabbed the towel and tossed it straight into the trash bin.
Ignoring Elsa’s shrill wails and John’s growing anger, she sneered, “She call the way to a man’s house

to shower and strut around in a towel-wasn’t she waiting for it to fall off?”

“Apologize. To Elsa.”
Lily actually laughed at that.
He talked a big gabout staying faithful-but there he was, holding a naked Elsa in his arms.
Where did he get the gall to scold her?
She didn’t apologize. Instead, she gave Elsa a once-over, head to toe.
“You two really are pure.”
“Naked like this? Absolutely clean and chaste.”
Only then did John realize Elsa, completely exposed, was still clinging to him.
But Lily had thrown the towel in the trash.
And with his germophobia, there was no way he’d dig it back out.
Elsa trembled in his arms, crying harder and harder.

“Lily, do whatever you want!”
His parting words rang out like a curse.
As the guest room door slammed shut in her face, Lily stood there frozen.
She wanted to laugh-but her eyes burned red.
