CHAPTER 716: CHAPTER 716: MY FIANCÉE CAN ONLY BE YOU

"I’m not throwing a tantrum with you, just some things I can’t figure out."

"I told you to give me some time, I will handle it properly."

"How long do you need? How are you handling it? What’s the progress? You don’t tell me anything, I feel like a fool kept in the dark!"

By the end of the argument, Lily’s voice was already tinged with a hint of sobbing.

Compared to her emotions, Finnian was calm and steady.

"Lily, there are some things, where not knowing is better than knowing. Once I handle it, I’ll give you the result you want. Let’s stop this, okay?"

...

Lily returned to the bedroom with a bitter smile.

With her phone in hand, she chatted for a bit with Nora Northwood on WeChat and decided to go to the hospital early in the morning to remove the bandages.

In the middle of the night.

Lily felt someone enter the room. She woke up from her dream, hearing the footsteps at the door.

Immediately, all the nerves in her body tensed up.

With Auntie not at home, could it be that some thief wants to rob us?

She didn’t connect it to Finnian, the man who constantly talked about "manners" wouldn’t even enter her bedroom after dark.

The footsteps got closer. Lily reached under her pillow for her phone, almost dialing the police, but then she heard a gentle voice in the dark: "Lily, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

It was Finnian’s voice.

In those brief seconds, enough to scare her into exhaustion, she let out a cry, tossing her phone aside, "Why are you coming into my room in the middle of the night? You scared me to death, do you know that?"

As she spoke, she turned on the bedside lamp.

Finnian hadn’t realized this, thinking she was sleeping deeply and wouldn’t wake up.

The man explained, "It’s raining outside, I was checking if your window was tightly shut."

Lily followed Finnian’s gaze and glanced outside, indeed, it was raining.

"Thank you, you’re really such a good person."

Finnian heard her sarcastic tone and frowned, sitting on the edge of her bed, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you."

Hearing this apology, Lily immediately softened.

Thinking that he was also considering her, yet she complained about him, it seemed really unjust.

Thus, she changed her tone and said, "You did it unintentionally, I didn’t blame you, the window is shut tight, go back to sleep."

Upon hearing her words, Finnian did not leave but instead leaned closer, asking her, "Are you still mad about tonight?"

The man suddenly leaned in, a refreshing and pleasant scent also approached Lily’s nose.

Her sense of smell overwhelmed her, her mind went blank for a moment.

Recalling the matter Finnian mentioned, Lily felt suffocated and couldn’t breathe.

She pursed her lips, reluctantly saying, "What good does being mad do, anyway you said you would solve it, so I’ll wait for you to solve it."

As she spoke, a pair of well-defined hands touched her face, gently tracing her features.

"It’s my first time dating a girl, if there’s anything I didn’t do well, please bear with me, okay?"

Lily was stunned for a moment. Finnian had never told her she was his first love, right?

She was confused, instinctively retorting, "Someone who even has a fiancée, how can it be their first time dating."

"Family arrangement, I barely met her a few times, before meeting you I might have compromised, but now, my fiancée can only be you, Lily."
