Casey tried to reach Lily repeatedly, but every attempt failed. Frustrated, she sighed and turned to her husband.

“She’s not answering her phone.”

“Keep trying,” he instructed firmly.

Meanwhile, at the tranquil lake house, Ethan and Lily were enjoying a peaceful lunch together. Lily's face

radiated happiness as she relished her meal, soaking in the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings.

“Thank you for bringinghere,” she said, her voice filled with heartfelt gratitude.

“Do you like it?” Ethan asked, his tone gentle.

“I love it! This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen,” she replied enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with

joy.

Seeing her so happy warmed Ethan’s heart. “If you ever want to chere again, just letknow. I'll bring

you,” he promised.

“Really?” Lily's excitement was unmistakable.

He nodded with a sincere smile, hiding the fact that the lake house already belonged to her. It was his special

wedding gift, a secret he was keeping for the right moment.

After finishing their meal, Lily couldn't contain her curiosity and got up to explore the house. Its rustic charm

enchanted her as she eagerly wandered through each room, Ethan trailing behind her like a quiet guardian.

“Where exactly is this place?” she asked, her curiosity piqued.

“It's on one of the Ethan family’s properties,” Ethan replied casually, glancing at their joined hands. Lily hadn't

even noticed that she was holding his hand.

“Oh,” she murmured, nodding thoughtfully.

As she continued to explore, she found herself falling in love with the house. She silently made a resolution: one

day, she would have a hlike this-a place to share with her loved ones, where they could create beautiful

memories together.

Stepping into the garden, she delicately brushed her fingers over a bed of lilies. “Does someone in your family

love lilies?” she asked, her voice soft with curiosity.

“Yes,” Ethan said, his gaze fixed on her. “Someone very special to me.”

Lily hesitated. She wanted to know more about this “special someone” but decided it wasn’t her place to pry.

Still, a strange pang of jealousy stirred within her. She envied this mysterious person who, in her imagination,

must have had such a beautiful place all to themselves.

“Won't that special person be upset with you for bringinghere?” she asked cautiously.

“No,” he said with a small smile. After all, she’s standing right beside me, he thought.

Later, Lily wandered into a meadow filled with lilies and lay down amidst the blossoms, a serene smile gracing

her face. Ethan quietly joined her, lying beside her as the gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the

Lily closed her eyes, a serene smile gracing her lips, as though she were trying to engrave this tranquil place into

her soul. Here, there was no chaos, no betrayal, no thirst for revenge-just an overwhelming sense of peace.

“Lily, do you still have feelings for Ryan ?” Ethan's sudden question broke the silence.

Startled, Lily turned to face him, her mind racing for a response. The intensity in his gaze caused her heartbeat

to quicken, but she managed an awkward smile. “He's Rose’s boyfriend. Why would I love him?”

Ethan's expression remained firm. “After everything he’s done to you, do you still love him? Is there any place for

him in your heart? If one day he returns, would you forgive him? Would you accept him back?”

His words struck a chord, causing Lily's heart to pound in her chest. A complicated mix of emotions flashed

across her face. Narrowing her eyes, she asked cautiously, “I'm not sure | understand what you mean, CEO

Ethan.”

Her formal tone irked Ethan, but he pushed past his displeasure. He needed answers, even if it meant risking her

discomfort. “Lily, | know everything about you,” he said, his gaze unwavering.

Lily's body tensed. She sat upright, her eyes fixed on the ground as a shiver ran down her spine. His words sent

waves of anxiety crashing through her. “W-What do you mean by that?” she stammered.

“I know about your past-your birth, the Miller Family's lies, that worthless ex-boyfriend, and the hardships

you've endured living with them.”

Her eyes widened in shock, her body trembling slightly. These were secrets she believed no one could uncover.

The Miller Family had hidden her true identity so well that even her biological parents couldn't find her. How did

he know?

“W-What else? What else do you know about me?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her fear

evident.

Ethan could see the vulnerability in her eyes. He wanted to reach out, to hold her and reassure her that she

wasn't alone anymore. But he held himself back. “That's all | know,” he replied honestly.

Relief washed over Lily as she exhaled deeply. At least he doesn’t know about my rebirth, she thought. But the

question still lingered-how had he discovered so much about her otherwise?

“Did you investigate me? How do you know all of this?” she asked, her tone laced with suspicion.

“Yes, | did,” Ethan admitted, though he chose his words carefully. “You work closely with Mr. Parker, and he’s my

best friend. | had to ensure everything was fine.”

It wasn’t entirely the truth, but he didn’t want to burden her further. She was already grappling with enough

pain-her broken trust, her toxic family, and the scars left by her past. Revealing the depth of his actions might

scare her away, and that was the last thing he wanted.

Ethan wondered silently: If | told her the whole truth, would she run from me?
