The Bai men were reluctant—very reluctant—to leave their precious little flower alone with that beast.
But their wives? They had no such reservations.
One sharp tug on their ears later, they found themselves being dragged out of the villa, with protests falling on deaf ears.
"She's already 26."
"She can take care of herself."
"Stop treating her like a child!"
And just like that, Lillie Bai was left behind.
Helpless.
Seated on the plush sofa in the living room, she exhaled yet another long sigh. Lately, that was all she had been doing—sighing.
Across from her, Ethan sat with an infuriatingly calm expression. He wasn't just calm, though.
If someone with sharp eyes observed closely—unfortunately, Lillie was too distracted to notice—they would see the unmistakable glint of joy in his gaze.
This was the second happiest moment of his life.
