It felt like a sharp, from grip had torn James's heart to shreds, making even the act of breathing laced w

pain and torment

Janes suddenly didn’t have the courage to think about it any further.

But he really shouldn't be interrupting them.

“Mm.”

He replied indifferently, then turned to Lily and said, “Be careful on your way back.”

Clearly, this was his tacit approval of Lily being intimate with Jackson.

Lily knew James didn’t like her, but hearing him say that still made her heart ache a little.

After the pain settled, she laughed at herself.

What was she even expecting?

There was no way he’d ever change his orientation for her.

After a long pause, she forced herself to sound calm and casual. “Okay.”

“Mm

Seeing that she only wanted Jackson to take her home, James didn’t push. He turned on his heel and walked

away from the theater.

Jackson didn’t miss the look of sadness and disappointment in Lily's eyes.

He was smart. One glance, and he could tell-she had feelings for James.

He casually asked, “Do you like him?”

“Huh?”

Laly hadn't expected Jackson to ask that so suddenly.

A wave of embarrassment washed over her, like a secret she thought was well hidden had just been exposed

Her feelings would only la a burden to James. Of course she didn’t want anyone to know.

Snapping back to her senses, she quickly replied, “No, | don’t.”

Liar.

Jackson cursed her silently, but on the surface, he just smiled innocently. “I didn’t think you did. | mean, he’s so

old. Ill drive you home.”

He had spent most of the past few years overseas and had missed so many years of her life.

He showed up too late, and now someone else had taken up space in her heart-but he didn’t blher.

Still, he'd fight for her. fiercely and relentlessly, until her heart had no room for anyone but him.

He had the strength. And the means.

Lily still had a few things she wanted to say to Jackson. Besides, since he'd gone through the trouble of renting a

car just for the role, she wasn’t about to turn him down when he offered her a ride home.

She figured, being a broke college kid, the car he rented would be something in the 200,000 to 300,000 yuan

range at most. But to her surprise, the vehicle parked outside was a bold, flashy red Koenigsegg.

A car like that had to cost thousands a day to rent

Luckily, she had money-she could reimburse him.

Still, she decided she needed to talk to him about it. He didn’t need to go all out like this.

She just wanted the elders of the Luke family to believe she'd found someone reliable and compatible- not some

spoiled rich kid. Jackson was broke. There was no need to pretend otherwise.

Once in the car, she gently said, “Jackson, aside from having dinner with James and the Luke family elders, |

probably won't be needing your help much. You don’t need to pickup from the theater anymore. Even if | do

need a ride, you really don’t have to rent such an expensive car.”

Glancing at the bouquet of red roses beside her, she quickly added, “How much did you spend on the car and

the flowers? I'll transfer the money to you.”

She wasn’t going to keep the roses, but she definitely intended to cover the cost.

“You don’t have to pay me

The car was actually Jackson's, and he’d bought the roses because he wanted to-not for the gig. He wasn’t about

to take her money

To keep her from feeling pressured, he added, “A friend lentthe car. The roses were from a wrap party at a

short film set Someone gave them to me-I didn’t spend anything”

Since he put it that way, Lily didn’t insist on reimbursing everything

She just transferred the agreed-upon

thirty thousand and added another

thousand as a tip fof Kis efforts.

The entire ride, Jackson was the one making conversation. Lily responded politely but minimally.

Jackson was determined to make James misunderstand, so he deliberately drove slowly.

What should've been a 30 to 40-minute drive, he stretched into a full hour and a half.

After dropping Lily off, he even bit his

Back at the Luke family home, James stood at the window in his room.

Lily still hadn't cback

Earlier that day, Jackson had sent him a friend request. He'd accepted.

Normally, James hardly ever scrolled through Facebook.

But the driveway downstairs remained empty. There was no sign of Lily anywhere. A strange restlessness stirred

in him.

He opened Facebook to kill time.

And saw Jackson's post.

“Bit by Lily. She's fierce... but sweet.”
