Her breathing was slightly disordered, and Lily suddenly didn't know where to direct her gaze.
After Aidan Lucas had soothed the devastating emotions she felt, she suddenly realized that the man sitting in front of her was the one she had thought about day and night for four years.
No, it had been more than four years.
He was the man she had never forgotten, whose love she had fallen into and could never let go.
"I..."
Lily felt the atmosphere was strange and instinctively wanted to speak, but Aidan Lucas spoke at the same time.
"I love you, Lily."
His voice, cold yet emotive, was low and husky.
His voice was always pleasant, like a feather gently tickling her heart, provoking a tingling feeling.
Lily's breath hitched, and she looked up at him.
The moment their gazes met, she suddenly felt a heat rise from her heart, burning up her neck, the side of her ears, and her cheeks.
Lily instinctively looked down, not daring to look into his deep, piercing eyes any longer.
