Chapter 67: Relieving The Past

Ethan shuddered by the coldness Lillie emitted. She must've been upset because he didn't trust her while she trusted him a lot.

He was ashamed of himself, he made a terrible choice with his words. Lillie was unlike any woman, unlike any of the other Underworld Leaders. She cares for the people close to her. She protects her subordinates, her family.

His arms quickly outstretched and grabbed her wrist, pulling her against his chest. His arms slithered around her small waist and trapped her in his embrace.

"I'm sorry."

His warm breath touched her ear, making them red. Lillie slightly shivered by his sudden behavior. Their clothes were the only thing that come in between them touching skin-to-skin. But, Lillie can still feel the warmth and hardness of his body.

"You have nothing to apologize for. It's natural for anyone to think of it like that." Her voice was still cold, Ethan's heart ached because of that.
