Chapter 483 Jealous of a Puppy
James's face darkened instantly, as black as soot.
Because when Jackson had pretended to be her fiancé, he had called himself her “little puppy.”
So in James's mind, when Lily mumbled “puppy” in her sleep, she was calling for Jackson.

Lily had told him before that she only saw Jackson as a younger brother, and James believed she cared for him.
But it was obvious Jackson's feelings weren't brotherly. And even if Lily truly thought of him as nothing more than
family, hearing her call his nin her sleep made James feel like his chest was drowning in barrels of vinegar.
When he finished drying her hair, he set the blow dryer aside, his voice sour and tight. “Lily, I'm not Jackson.”
“Puppy...”
Lily didn’t hear a word.
In her dream, she was back in the Luke family estate, in the princess room Nancy had prepared for her, hugging
her favorite plush dog.
She clutched James's waist tighter, rubbing against him like she would with her stuffed toy, and lifted a hand to
stroke what she thought was its furry head.
But she touched nothing.
How strange. She'd always been able to pat it before. Why not now?
Was her puppy being stingy, refusing to let her pet it?
She pouted in her sleep, grumbling, “Meanie...”
James's face grew darker still, danger glinting in his eyes.
Her hand had clearly reached out to touch something-or someone. Did she still want to touch Jackson in her
dreams?
“Lily, I'm not a puppy!”
The sound bothered her. How could a plush toy make so much noise?
Annoyed, she reached up, trying to cover this noisy “puppy’s” mouth so she could sleep
peace.

But to James, it felt like she was feaching out for Jackson again. The jealousy burned so hot it seared through his
self-control.
He pulled her arm from around his waist and stepped back.

sourness didn’t ease.
She needed to understand. He wasn’t Jackson. He wasn’t spuppy.
He needed her to remember that, even in her dreams.
James turned abruptly, his long legs carrying him back to the bed in quick strides.
“Puppy...”
Lily puffed out her cheeks in protest, eyes still closed.
Really, this plush dog was being ridiculous. She always got to hold him whenever she wanted. Why was he
pulling away tonight?
Even if this “puppy” was a little noisy and not nearly as soft as usual, hugging him gave her a strange sense of
peace..
Her hand searched blindly, reaching for him again.
Seeing her still stretching toward what he thought was Jackson, James's jealousy blazed out of control, burning
every trace of restraint to ash.
He bent down, cupped the back of her head, and captured her lips in a hot, demanding kiss.
“Puppy...”
She was still whispering Jackson’s name, and it only fueled James's fire. His kiss grew deeper, fiercer, as if he
could steal every breath from her and claim it for himself.
Unable to hold him in her dream, her sleep grew restless. The burning intensity of his kiss dragged her from
slumber, and she opened her eyes in a daze.

But as her vision cleared, she saw it was James, kissing her like a starving wolf.
Of course-it made sense. She had been staying at his villa, not sleeping with her plush dog. She must've been

“Lily... who am I?”
She reached up and touched his forehead. No fever.
So why was he asking something so ridiculous?
He was her boyfriend, the father of her child. How could she not know who he was?
