Seeing that neither John nor Simon showed any sign of apologizing, lvan’s tone suddenly sharpened.
“Apologize! Apologize to Lily, right now. Then get the hell out and stop interrupting her recovery!”
“Move.”
John was done with Ivan blocking his every attempt to approach Lily. His face darkened as he shoved him aside
and strode straight to her bedside.
In his eyes, Lily had only married James out of spite. That union was in nonly-it was never real and never
would be. To him, she was still his girlfriend, and he had no tolerance for Ivan constantly standing in their way.
He ignored Ivan completely and turned his gaze toward Lily.
The fury in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a heavy, aching regret.
His voice, low and hoarse from the weight of his guilt, trembled as he spoke.
“Lily, I was wrong. | shouldn't have judged you based solely on Wendy's words or that fabricated evidence. I'm
sorry. | won't make that mistake again. I'll go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and file for divorce
from James. Let the Luke family leave first-I'll stay here and take care of you, okay?”
James had already made up his mind to divorce Lily and wanted nothing more than to be rid of her. Naturally, he
had no interest in interfering with whatever John was saying now.
And yet... hearing John speak in that raspy, desperate voice, trying to win Lily back, left James strangely
unsettled.
A sharp, invisible needle seemed to stab into his chest, disrupting his every breath.
He forced himself to look away from them both.
The discomfort he felt, he told himself, wasn’t about Lily. It had nothing to do with jealousy or attachment. He
just didn’t want to see her get fooled again-nothing more.
“Hey-"
James remained still and indifferent, but Ivan was anything but calm.
John was trying to steal Lily right under his brother's nose.
Even though James wanted the divorce, Ivan had cto deeply admire Lily's talent, and he thought she and
James were a perfect match. He truly hoped she would bechis sister-in-law.

He yanked on James’ sleeve for help, but James didn’t even blink, like none of this concerned him in the
slightest.
So Ivan had no choice but to step up and kill John’s fantasy himself.
“John, are you out of your damn mind? How many times does Lily have to tell you she broke
up with you?

Why are you still stalking her? Don’t you have any shame? And Lily and my brother-con, they're made for
each other. Talented, loving, perfect together. Why would she ever divorce him for you?”
“Heh.”
John let out a cold, dismissive laugh.
Clearly, he didn’t buy a word of Ivan’s little speech.
If James actually cared about Lily, there's no way he would stand idly by while another man flirted with her right
in front of him-not even sparing them a glance..
Ivan immediately picked up on the contempt in that scoff, and it ticked him off.
But what could he do? Lily refused to say a word, and without her cooperation, there was only so much he could
accomplish.
As Ivan fumed in frustration, John’s voice cagain.
“Lily, I was wrong to doubt you. | truly am sorry. Can you please stop being angry?”
“I'll bring my household registration book withtomorrow. After you and James get your divorce papers, we'll
get our marriage certificate right afterward. I'll stay with you in the hospital while you recover, and when you're
healed, we can go htogether-to our home.”
Lily didn’t respond right away.
She looked up at him, her eyes cold and distant.
To her, John was a master comedian-what a joke.
He wanted to marry her the moment she finalized her divorce?
She had already given up on him completely. Why would she ever marry him?
Go back to their so-called home?
He and Elsa had already gotten cozy at that ridiculous children’s study desk. Was she supposed to move back in
and keep enduring their revolting presence?
Yes, John had finally apologized.
But she had no doubt that if Elsa framed her again, he'd still take Elsa's side without a second thought.
Besides, her heart was no longer his to win back. It belonged elsewhere now.
“Lily...”
John was certain Lily would never
truly leave him. Senger

Finally, she spoke.
*John. Are you deaf, or just incredibly stupid? I've already told you—there’s nothing between us anymore

“Lily1”
John’s eyes darkened in an instant.
He hated seeing her so defiant, constantly drawing a line between them.
For a moment, he considered storming off.
But then he remembered what she’d been through-the betrayal, the pain. She had every reason to lash
out,
So he held back his temper and decided to try again.
He wasn’t giving up that easily.
