How many "contract husbands" in this world would, like him, pour all their feelings into caring and loving a "contract wife"?
Who wouldn't play along for a show?
Yet he laid bare his true heart for Lily Shaw, only to hear this answer.
Aiden Grant felt a deep sense of loss, profoundly believing that the excuse of a contract used to convince Lily Shaw to marry him on a whim was the biggest mistake of his life.
Lily Shaw scrutinized Aiden Grant, clearly seeing the loss and unspeakable emotions in his eyes, watching his tightly clenched right hand by his side, a wave of guilt rose inexplicably in her heart.
She quickly turned away and stopped looking at Eldest Young Master Grant, sped up to help Roy Thompson rinse clean, reached for a spare towel, and roughly dabbed at Roy Thompson's hair.
When she looked towards the door again, the man standing there had disappeared, and Lily Shaw's heart sank as well.
