"You are being too soft," Zhuo Jingren noted the moment Lily walked inside their room. He was sitting on the couch as he stared at the dark night outside through the floor to ceiling window.
"What do you mean?" Lily instantly asked as she approached him and leaned in for a kiss.
"Your hard exterior is the exact opposite of what you feel inside," he said before he pulled Lily towards him.
"I need to change first," she said.
"I can do it for you," he answered before kissing her again. "Why did you let him go?" he asked.
"He is too weak to fight and you know that," she answered. "And I wasn't being soft. I did what I thought to be the most logical thing to do. Plus… I'll be arranging for him to work with both George and Jack Arison while he undergoes some therapy. He doesn't know that I am associated with them, so he will probably think that he just got lucky. This is also my way of monitoring him and his progress."
"Softie."
