Lily was stunned, her mouth wide open as she blinked repeatedly, trying to understand what the handsome man meant. "You say what?" she questioned, believing that her ears were playing tricks on her.
The handsome man stared longer at Lily before responding. "Don't you like it here? I'm gifting it to you," he replied.
Lily's jaw completely dropped. "Did this guy take the wrong medicine? Isn't this garden for his mate? Wait! Don't tell me he likes me! No... no... no, how is that possible? Such a handsome lord would take a fancy to me when I'm in this ugly appearance. Is that even possible? I am definitely overthinking it. Really," she thought.
"Err..." She cleared her throat to speak, but the handsome man interjected.
"I am not joking, and you are not overthinking. I indeed like you and want you to be my mate," he declared.
Lily was struck by lightning. "Can he read minds?" she questioned inwardly.
