Chapter 316: Stay away from my sight
"Are you saying the Princess is planning to marry me?" Lewis asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Lillian’s face flushed as she quickly responded, "I-I... That was just a hypothetical question. Whoever becomes your wife will want complete honesty between you two."
"And that woman will be you, Lily," Lewis said, his voice steady as he approached her with deliberate, measured steps.
Lillian shot him a sharp glare. "I haven’t decided yet if you’ll be my husband. And if you are, I won’t tolerate any secrets between us. You’re already hiding something from me," she accused him with a frustrating tone.
Lewis stopped in front of her, looking into her eyes. "I can’t imagine my life without work, even after getting married," he explained as his voice softened.
"True. However, hiding things isn’t good," Lillian said firmly.
"I will keep that in mind," Lewis replied. He paused before continuing, "I overheard your earlier conversation, Lily. Don’t you approve of your brother choosing a human to be by his side? I’m sure Prince Izaak made this decision after much consideration."
"Melody is a sweet woman, but it seems strange to me. Why did she approach my brother? There’s a conspiracy here that only I can see," Lillian declared, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.
"Then, help me see it too," Lewis suggested, sitting down beside her. She looked at him in surprise, while he smirked.
