Lily Shaw was silent for a long time. She knew everything Aiden Grant said came from the bottom of his heart, and she could feel his warm affection, making her deeply moved.
But she was never a fragile woman hiding behind a man. She had the ability to protect herself. Thinking of this, she smiled softly, reached out to pat his back, and said in a breezy tone, "Husband, don't put so much pressure on yourself. I'm more than capable of looking after myself."
"I know you're capable, but I just can't help wanting to shield you under my wings. Only then can I truly be at ease," Aiden said in a low voice. The pain of losing Lily was something he couldn't bear. Just imagining it made him want to burn the whole world down.
