As Lily settled into the car, Ethan quickly leaned in, pressing her gently against the seat and planning a

passionate kiss on her lips. Their tongues met, and it felt as though he had been longing for this moment for

months.

Lily felt a shiver run through her, almost as if her very soul was touched by his intense kiss. She was relieved

that no one around could witness their intimate moment. After a few moments of that fervent kim. Ethan softly

kissed her forehead before the car started moving, leaving her breathless, a bit dizzy, and flushed from their

embrace.

After a few minutes, Lily took a deep breath to regain her composure and looked over at her hanband, who was

driving the car. She admired his handsprofile, feeling grateful and lucky to have him as her partner. It wasn’t

just his looks that she adored, but also his kind heart, which made her love him even more deeply.

“What was that for?” she asked, a playful tone in her voice.

“Why? Can't | kiss my own wife?” Ethan replied with a light chuckle.

Lily nodded thoughtfully. “You can, but | have a feeling there's another reason you kissed me.”

Ethan glanced at her briefly before returning his attention to the road. Lily laughed softly at his evasive

response. “Do you want to know what that reason is?”

“Nope,” he responded, shaking his head slightly.

“But | want to tell you anyway,” she insisted with a smile. “You're jealous, aren't you?”

-Ethan remained silent, not responding to her accusation. Lily knew she had hit the nail on the head. He was

indeed jealous-so much so that he felt compelled to kiss her. She noticed the way he looked at her, not with

mere admiration or affection, but with a deeper longing that one might reserve for someone they truly desire.

Whether it was because she was beautiful or because of her celebrity status, he couldn't hide his jealousy. He

might think it petty or immature, but he couldn’t stand that the other man was as handsas he was.

Not hearing a reply, Lily chuckled and moved closer to him. “Ethan, be honest with me. You're jealous of that

man, aren't you?”

“What if | am jealous?” he replied, his tone guarded.

“You should be,” she continued. “He’s incredibly handsome. | can’t believe someone could be that attractive -the

way he carries himself, his voice, his eyes, everything about him.”

“Lily...” Ethan began to warn her, but she interrupted with a laugh, raising her hands in surrender. She stopped

teasing him and rested her head on his shoulder. “No matter how handshe is, you belong to me. My dear

husband, there’s no need for you to be jealous.”

Ethan softened, feeling the warmth of her affection. Lily’s reassurance eased his insecurities, remind of the

strong bond they shared. He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer, and smiled gently. In that moment,

all his worries melted away, replaced by the deep love he felt for his wife.

him

Hearing her reply, Ethan’s heart swelled with warmth and affection. As Lily rested her head on his arm, he

leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. “There’s another reason for that kiss,” he admitted with a soft

smile. “By the way, who was that man?”

“Oh, him? He's the one who savedfrom those goons that day. My savior,” Lily explained casually, yawning

softly as she nestled closer. “But let’s not talk about him. What's the other reason?” she asked, her voice laced

with exhaustion as her eyes fluttered shut. “Tell me...”

Ethan looked at her lovingly and answered from his heart. “Because | love you, and | feel incredibly lucky to have

you as my wife.”

Hearing his heartfelt words, a small smile spread across Lily’s lips. Too tired to respond, she let sleep overtake

her while leaning against him. Watching her peaceful expression, Ethan's smile deepened. She looked like an

angel when she slept.

As he drove, a thought crossed his mind. “Lily, what's the nof that man?” he asked, realizing he hadn't

caught her savior's name. But the only response he got was the sound of her soft breathing. Glancing over, he

saw that she had fallen completely asleep. Chuckling softly, he adjusted her gently to make her more

comfortable and continued driving toward their destination.

Half an hour later, Ethan stepped out of the car with Lily cradled carefully in his arms. As he carried her, she

stirred slightly, her arms instinctively wrapping around him. With a sleepy smile, she mumbled, “Are we there

yet?”

“Hmm,” he replied, his voice low and gentle.

Still groggy, Lily slowly opened her eyes. However, as her surroundings cinto focus, her drowsiness

vanished in an instant. She was stunned to see they weren't at their apartment but at a gorgeous lake house.

The area was beautifully decorated with flowers, twinkling lights, and tiny lanterns that seemed to dance in the

night. The serene ambiance left her speechless.

Ethan carried her inside, where the interior was just as enchanting as the outside. The warm glow of candles

illuminated the room, and the delicate floral arrangements filled the air with a sweet fragrance. He carefully

placed her on a chair before heading to the kitchen. Moments later, he returned with an array of dishes, setting

them neatly on the table.

Lily was too overwhelmed to speak, her heart racing as she took in the romantic atmosphere. Ethan sat beside

her, serving her a plate. Noticing her silence, he frowned slightly. “Don’t you like it?” he asked, a hint of concern

in his voice.

“Huh?” she snapped out of her daze, her cheeks flushing. “I-I love it... When did you do all of this?”

“When you were busy confessing your love to me,” he teased with a mischievous smile, picking up a spoon to

feed her.

Lily giggled at his remark and picked up her spoon as well. They took turns feeding each other, their laughter

and smiles filling the room. The evening was filled with delicious food, intimate conversations, and heartfelt

confessions.

Later that night, the love they shared culminated in a passionate embrace, as they reaffirmed their devotion to

each other over and over again. The lake house beca sanctuary of love, sealing their bond even deeper in

their hearts.
