Aiden Grant shifted slightly, adjusting to a position that would let Lily Shaw sleep more comfortably. Watching Lily, still soundly asleep despite being turned over in his arms, his heart ached more and more: he shouldn't have let her attend the banquet alone, especially since it was her first time attending a party in the name of The Grant Family's eldest daughter-in-law, as his wife.
The Grant Family had been in the spotlight for a long time, and she, a gentle woman, had to face so many hungry wolves on her own. She had no choice but to stay tense at all times; otherwise, she might easily fall into their traps.
Aiden's heartache and self-blame lingered the entire night as he kept his eyes open, watching his wife slumber peacefully nestled in his arms. By the time he noticed the change in the light, it was already the next morning.
Having slept soundly, Lily Shaw opened her eyes to find the man's eyes bloodshot, her pupils shrinking sharply: "Husband, did you stay up all night?"
