Chapter 453 Ten Minutes of Jealousy

“Let go of Lily!”

John scrambled bto /bhis feet, trying to catch up to bJames /bband /bsnatch her back.

But in the blink of an eye, James’s car was already speeding away, leaving him with noth g but a trail of exhaust carried on the wind.

He stood there, watching the taillights shrink into a ck speck in the distance. His fingers twitched, and he clicked the button on the recorder in his hand

“Lily likes John… John. I like you! A lifetime’s too short–next life, I’ll still likes and ever. Lily and John will have two little babies. The four of us bwill /bnever le

Likes John, forever

Listening to her syrupy, love–soaked voice, he wanted to smile, but instead his eyes stung uncontrobly.

Like a man speaking in a fever dream, he whispered again and again, “Lily likes John

Yes, she had promised him forever.

This life wasn’t even a bthird /bover–how could she already have changed her heart?

bShe’d /bbsaid /bshe wanted two children with him.

She hadn’t given him any- but bshe /bwas carrying James’s baby.

How could she be so cruel?

He refused to ept it. He refused to believe she’d truly fallen out of love.

No–she was just angry.

As long as he admitted his mistakes and begged her forgiveness, she would soften. She had to.

Without wasting another second, he jumped into his car and tore off toward James’s vi.

James carried Lily straight upstairs to the master bedroom after parking in front of the main house.

They had barely crossed the threshold–bhadn’t /beven bshut /bthe door–when he turned, set her down on the table, and crushed his bburning /bmouth against hers.

She hadn’t expected him to kiss hier out of nowhere–let alone with such fierce urgency–and she couldn’t withstand the onught.

His kiss grew rougher by the bsecond/bb, /band Lily felt like prey caught between a predator’s teeth.

She instinctively leaned bback/b, overwhelmed by his intensity.

But he gave her no room to retreat. When she leaned back, he followed, tilting forward, one hand mped- to the bback /bof her head, his searing kiss determined to burn her to ash.

b“James/b, you you need to stop for a second….

This didn’t feel like kissing–it felt like being eaten alive.

Her breath was slipping baway/b, and her trembling voice pleaded for a bpause/b.

But his self–control had long been reduced to cinders by the jealousy roaring!

He trusted her. He knew bshe /bwouldn’t go back to John.

But knowing she bhad /bonce worked herself to the bone to pay for John’s surgery–even letting rich men use her as a punching bag, breaking three ribs–gnawed at him like acid. She had risked her life for John more than once, throwing herself between him and a knife, dragging him from a burning room.

And then there were her repeated vows to John–swearing love in this life and the next.

Remembering her sweet, honeyed voice telling John she liked him, that she’d still want him in the next life, only stoked the fire until he ached to im every piece of her for himself.

The jealousy in his mind and the jealousy in his chest fed each other like mes and waves, neither able to put the other out.

“Lily, you talked for nearly ten minutes.”

Ten minutes of recorded promises, every word dripping with devotion–bto /banother bman/b.

Ten minutesb? /b

What ten minutesb? /b

She wanted to ask, but the momentary break in his kiss ended as he came back with an beven /bfiercer heat, stealing away her breath and her words

Even so, through the haze, she pieced it together. He was talking about the recording John had yed- –the one where she had spoken for almost ten minutes, dering her blove /band making promises.

Those words had been true at the time. She’d been sweet on John then, and the vows had flowed easily.

Now, with the sky having copsed between them, she only found it embarrassing.

She understood James.

He didn’t doubt her loyalty, but if their positions were reversed, and she had to listen to him pledge eternal love to another woman for ten straight minutes, she would be jealous too.

She stopped resisting. Instead, she looped her arms baround /bhis neck, letting him deepen the kiss, letting bhis /bstrong hands roam freely over her.

Lily..

James wanted nothing more than to take herpletely, to close every inch between them.

But she was pregnant. He didn’t dare push too far, afraid of harming the child she carried.
