After speaking, James didn’t linger. With long, steady strides, he headed straight to the guest room to take a

shower. Lily was absolutely exhausted, so she didn’t waste any teither. She quickly took a shower, then

curled up under the soft, warm covers and drifted off to sleep in a daze.

When James returned from his shower, this was the sight that greeted him.

The girl was bundled up tightly in the blankets, only her clean, delicate face peeking out-she looked impossibly

sweet, like she could do no wrong.

And yet, just last night, he had pressed her down beneath him, nearly lost all control... Lost and bewildered, he

reached up and touched his own chest.

I only have one heart, just one. And yet, how is it that | keep confusing Lily for Leila, unable to resist her body?

I'm despicable; filthy: utterly depraved

The more James thought about it, the more he loathed himself. He couldn't bear to look at Lily's face, the one

that always made his heartbeat spiral out of control-so he fled the room, nearly panicked, and shut himself

inside the study.

His phone had been lost in the river's turbulent current; but he had a backup. After reinstalling Instagram. he

could still message Leila. Consumed with shand self-disgust, he desperately wanted to say sorry to

her.

He felt utterly filthy-his body tainted, his heart even more so. But Leila’s grandfather was seriously ill, and his

last wish was to see Leila married with children. They had agreed to part ways completely, and James couldn't

bring himself to disturb her again.

All he could do was zoom in on her cartoon avatar, tracing that cute and mischievous little icon again again, his

voice hoarse, “Lillse... I'm sorry. I'm not worthy of you.

He was fickle, weak-willed. So if his Lillse no longer wanted him, he had no one to blbut himself.

In the days that followed, James left early and returned late; Lily was busy with Cherry rehearsals. Aside from

occasionally sharing breakfast, the two of them hardly crossed paths.

Originally, when Ivan told Henry that James and Lily had kissed, the old man had been full of hope and

excitement.

But now, seeing them sit at the breakfast table without so much as a glance toward each other, that little spark

of hope in Grandpa's heart was quickly snuffed out by a cold wave of disappointment.

He realized then that their so-called kiss must have been nothing more than an accidental collision. His eldest

grandson was probably still gay, not even a girl as gentle and lovely as Lily could change that.

And when he accidentally overheard Ivan and Ashton gossiping-saying that his grandson had been out on a

date, hugging and flirting with shorrifically ugly girly-man-his heart sank even deeper. He figured that if

James really brought hsomeone that appalling, the whole family line would be rolling in outrage. He was

determined. Everyone had to pull together and set his grandson straight.

That night just so happened to be the birthday banquet for Simon's mother. As juniors, James, Lily, and

Ivan naturally had to attend.

Henry gave strict instructions for James to take good care of Lily during the banquet, and told Ivan not to be a

third wheel to the young couple. He also told him to keep his eyes open and make sure no male seducers tried to

steal James’ attention. Only then did Henry clutch his chest and moan his way back to his

room..

Lily really couldn’t stand that weindo Simon.

But she’d met Mary once before and had a good impression of her.

Besides, she and James weren't divorced yet, and Mary was technically her aunt-in-law. Since Henry had asked

her to attend with James, she couldn't exactly refuse.

Mary reminded her a lot of Nancy-both were bold, dazzling, and breathtakingly beautiful women with strong

personalities.

When Lily arrived at the Bale family estate with James and Ivan, Mary took her hand and chatted warmly with

her for quite a while before finally letting her go.

Like Nancy, Mary was sharp, candid,

and fair. The more Lily opel

James was soon pulled aside by a few of his old friends to catch up.

Ivan saw James surrounded by a group of flashy young men and immediately went on high alert; he followed at

once like a bodyguard on a mission.

Lily knew that even if James had promised Henry he'd look after her at the banquet, he probably still didn’t want

to be stuck at her side the entire time.

“I'm so sorry. | really didn’t mean to...

She had barely taken a few steps when a server carrying a tray bumped into her. Red wine splashed instantly,

staining her pale apricot-colored gown.
