Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband (Lily and Ryan) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 

Finished 

As the couple lost themselves in their kiss, the warmth and intensity of their emotions were palpable to everyone in the room. The onlookers smiled knowingly, sensing they were witnessing a moment too intimate to intrude upon. Authur gently cleared his throat, signaling to Beatrice. With a shared understanding, they quietly left the room, followed by the others, leaving Ethan and Lily alone to savor their reunion. 

Ethan’s kiss was initially rough, a vent for his bottled–up frustration, jealousy, and irritation. He nipped and claimed her lips as if to erase all traces of the earlier events that had tormented him. Gradually, the kiss softened, transforming into something tender and deeply emotional. Lily took the lead, pouring her unspoken fears and overwhelming relief into the kiss. 

Every touch conveyed her emotions–how terrified she had been, how helpless she had felt, and how desperately she needed him by her side. Through that kiss, she clung to the reassurance that he was alive, safe, and there with her. She kissed him as if the world might end if she didn’t, holding on to him like a lifeline. 

By the time their lips parted, both were breathless. Lily closed her eyes and leaned against Ethan’s chest, careful not to aggravate his injuries. She clung to him tightly, her trembling form a testament to her lingering fear of losing him. 

Ethan smiled softly, his hand gently patting her back to soothe her. His gaze softened as he looked down at her. She was holding on to him as though she feared he might vanish. 

“Lily, were you scared?” he asked in a gentle voice. 

Lily shook her head against his chest, her voice barely a whisper. “No…” But as the words left her lips, her eyes welled up, and the dam holding back her emotions broke. She started crying, her sobs muffled against his chest. 

Her sudden tears sent Ethan into a panic. “Lily, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Look at me—I’m fine. Nothing happened to me. Please, don’t cry, baby,” he pleaded, his voice filled with worry. But his reassurances only made her cry harder. 

“I–I was so scared,” she hiccupped, her words coming out between sobs. “I was so worried about you! And the first thing you did after waking up was that stupid amnesia act. You’re horrible, Ethan! I hate you–I hate you so much!” Her words, laced with heartbreak and frustration, made him feel a pang of guilt. 

Ethan tightened his arms around her, wincing slightly at the pain it caused but refusing to let it show. “Lily, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. It was wrong of me. Please, forgive me,” he said softly, his voice filled with regret. 

But she didn’t loosen her grip, holding him even tighter. “You’re so bad,” she muttered through her tears. 

“I know, baby. I’m a bad person. It was my fault, and I’m sorry. If you want, you can punish me however you like–just stop crying, please,” he begged, his voice cracking. “I promise I’ll never do something like this again.” 

Her sobs quieted a little as she looked up at him with tear–filled eyes. “Really? Promise me, Ethan. Promise me you’ll never say or do anything like that again.” 

“I promise,” he said without hesitation, wiping her tears away with his thumb. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “I’m so sorry, Lily.” 

She sniffled and leaned into him. “You’re my life. Ethan. I can’t bear to live without vou.”

Her words struck him deeply, and a radiant smile spread across his face. Her indirect confession filled his heart with joy. But just as quickly, his expression darkened as he remembered her earlier words, 

“Lily,” he said, his voice tinged with jealousy, “earlier, who did you say your husband was? Who did you call ‘darling?” 

His pout made her giggle softly through her remaining tears, but she didn’t answer right away, enjoying his 

reaction. 

Lily chuckled at his question, her laughter light and teasing. She felt his grip on her tighten and noticed the hint of jealousy in his tone. Looking up into his eyes, she grinned mischievously, “Parker… Why? Were you jealous?” 

“Hmph…” Ethan pouted, nodding like a child caught sulking. “Why did you say that?” he asked, his brows furrowing in mock seriousness. 

Lily’s eyes narrowed as she countered, “Well, who told you to pretend you didn’t know me and act like you had amnesia?” 

“Huh? That…” Ethan hesitated, then smirked, pinching her nose playfully. “I was punishing you.” 

“Punishing me? For what?” she asked, startled by his response. 

“For ignoring your poor husband!” Ethan declared, feigning indignation. “You didn’t even realize I was awake! Instead, you were busy fussing over everyone else. Your attention wasn’t on me at all.” His tone turned childlike as he continued, “Those useless friends of mine completely stole your focus, so I had to teach you a lesson.”
