Raising My Wife

Chapter 5 Because Of You, Lily

As time went by, the room was so quiet that only the sound of their breaths could be heard.

It was the first time for her to have such intimate contact with a man, which made Lily feel nervous and

novel.

He didn't let her down and she didn't dare to move. They just stood there in a stalemate.

Seeing Lily's hands around his neck like a young koala, James couldn't help laughing. After all, she

was just a kid.

His chuckle came from above her head. She was a little annoyed, "put me down..."She plucked up all

her courage to protest in a low voice.

However, in James' eyes, Lily was acting like a spoiled child, which satisfied him a lot.

"Why are you here so late?" He didn't seem to hear her protest. He not only didn't put her down, but

also tightened his hand, as if deliberately against her.

She seemed to be bewitched by his voice and said what she was thinking unconsciously, "I have a

question to ask you!"

"What?" He raised his voice to indicate Lily to continue.

"Why did you adopt me? What should I call you? Brother? Uncle? Or anything else? " She didn't want

to mention the word "father", as James was too young.

"What do you think?" He gently put her on the sofa, as if he were taking care of his beloved gift.

However, he seemed to have anticipated that Lily would ask him about this.

Lily didn't know what James was trying to say. A cool feeling rose in her heart. Was she brought back

just out of kindness? Now that she was like a little pet that had been taken home all of a sudden,

should she behave like a little pet?

Seeing Lily's face depressed, James thought he should do something.

He stood straight at the bedside, staring at Lily with blazing eyes, and said slowly, "look at me."

Lily looked straight into his eyes. Taking off his strict suit in the daytime and putting on his bathrobe, he

looked less strict and more like a family member.

He was the most handsome man she had ever seen. The high straight nose bridge made his whole

facial features three-dimensional and delicate. The white skin and a perfect face shape. His eyes, in

particular, were like vast ocean of stars, people cannot help but fall in.

Lily wanted to touch his long eyelashes, but since he was too high, she couldn't touch him even if she

had extended her hand.

He was as beautiful as a girl. Lily thought he was 190 cm tall, wearing a woman's dress and a serious

face. This was really funny. She couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But what she didn't know was that her petty action was undoubtedly a silent provocation to James. He

slowly lowered his head, getting closer and closer to Lily.

They were close but Lily didn't realize danger.

"Do you know what it is like to break into a man's room at midnight?" James didn't want to do anything

to Lily, but he was not going to let her go, either. His tone became cold and serious. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Although life before was tough for Lily, it was simple and pure

She didn't know what was going on, but her instinct told her that it was not good. She thought of the

boys she had met before and heard James' reproachful tone. Suddenly, her nose twitched and she felt

wronged.

Tears welled up in Lily's eyes. As he saw her trembling face. He didn't know what to do, James' icy cold

face was completely at a loss for words.

As an exceptional talent, James was always the apple of the eye. Everyone else had always been

obedient to him. A kid, who was very young all of a sudden, looked wronged in front of him and he

definitely didn't know what to do. He was thirty years old now. If he had to coax a little girl of fifteen

years old, he would rather acquire a company right away.

"Don't you have some questions to ask? What's it? "After giving up coaxing her, he directly ignored her

grievance and changed the topic.

"Why? Why did you bring me back? Who am I?" Reminded by him, Lily pressed down her grievance

and asked.

"Because it is you, Lily." His tone became very gentle, as if the man with a serious face just now was

only Lily's illusion.

Her name sounded so sweet when coming out of his mouth. Lily stopped crying. She knew that tears

could not solve anything, so she had to face the problem bravely.

"Then... Will you send me back? " Lily was eager to know the answer, which was very important to her.

"You can be here forever as long as you like it." After saying that, James took Lily's hand and observed

it carefully.

As James said this, he gently touched Lily's finger pulps. She was only a fifteen year old child, but

there was already a small callus on her finger. It could be imagined that she had already been

independent since her peers were still flirting with their parents. In that city, she had no one to rely on

except herself. But now, he was here. In the future, he will give her the most wealthy life, give her the

best education, and let her grow up.

James gently stroked Lily's fingers, as if he were comforting her in the past.

"It will never happen again." He not only gave Lily a promise, but also gave himself an account.

Lily tried to take her hand back, but James held it tightly. Then her face turned red again.

"Lily," James said. "You have to stay by my side before you grow up. It's my responsibility. And you're

Lillias Ling of the Ling family."

Lily finally gave in and went back to her room.

It took him seven years to find her, then he would spend more time looking after her. This was his

responsibility, and he should do it to fulfill his obligation.

Although he was born cold, he was also not a ruthless person. The child was simple in character.

Moreover, she was only 15 years old. Whether it was for the favor he had received from her that year

or for the fact that she might be a family member of a generation he had known before, he felt that it

was necessary for him to do so.

Thinking of the age of Lily, James' eyes suddenly became harsh. It doesn't matter. He can accompany

her to grow up until she is strong enough to face the world alone.

And before finding out the real manipulator behind the scenes, he couldn't let anything happen to her.

After returning to her room, Lily kept tossing and turning. She didn't know what James wanted to do or

why he would do such a thing to her. He didn't tell her the reason why he adopted her and she didn't

know who he thought she was.

Perhaps, the only certain thing was that she got the promise of James and she could stay here forever.

'too many things have happened tonight. I have to deal with them slowly.'. She had been thinking about

what he had done tonight and their future for a long time.

It was a sleepless night.
