Chapter 454 Rain, Roses, and Jealousy
After devouring her in a fierce kiss, James was still breathing hard, holding her tight, his face buried in the crook
of her neck as he struggled to steady himself.

Hearing her sweet, velvety voice, James's jealousy-drenched heart finally began to revive.
The night wind was strong, and Lily felt a little cold.
Seeing the window open, she spoke in a teasing, coaxing tone, “Go close

The villa was just the two of them, so even if they were intimate with the curtains open, no one would see. Still,
leaving them open made her feel oddly self-conscious, like she couldn’t completely let go.

From this window, you could see the front gates of the villa.
And with the gate lights on, James clearly saw John standing outside, holding a bouquet of bright red roses.

“James, why don’t you use the bathroom in the other bedroom? If we both hurry, we can rest sooner. I'm about
to fall asleep on my feet.”

devour her again?

She had no desire to show up with lips swollen like sausages under everyone's curious stares.
She was about to try again to get him to ease up when her phone rang, sharp and urgent.
Seizing the chance, she quickly answered without even checking the caller ID-hoping it would get him to
pause.
Unfortunately, it was John, calling from a secondary number.
She barely had the phone to her ear when his voice, thick with pitiful pleading, spilled through the line.
