"Lily! Are you deliberately going against me?" Ethan roared, his frustration reaching a boiling point. "When I didn't believe you, you blamed me for not trusting you! Now that I trust that the baby is mine, you're still acting all cold and sarcastic! What exactly do you want?!"
Ethan looked like a child on the verge of a tantrum, entirely at a loss. Though he didn't lash out physically, he was exasperated and helpless.
"I don't want anything," Lily replied calmly. "All I know is that I've never had a choice before you. Whatever you want me to do, I have to do it."
If he wanted her to go east, she had to go east; if he wanted her to eat, she couldn't drink water.
Ethan had always demanded obedience and compliance from her. If she didn't comply, it was as if she were deliberately provoking him.
"Lily! I already promised I wouldn't control your life anymore!" Ethan snapped.
