Chapter Mountein 18

Menu Lily's Light was so valuable that the only way to sell it was by auction. So, Trent saw it at the auction house?

I didn't answer him immediately but asked, "Did you go to the auction house?"

Trent hesitated, his eyes darting around."I... I was going to buy you some jewelry."

It was for me, or it was for Vanessa?

She gave him such a big surprise that it made sense for him to return the favor.

I suppressed my emotions, my voice.

calm."I didn't sell it. I donated it." Trent sighed, taking my hand. "Honey, I know you're kind, but if you want to 13:05 0.0%

donate something, why this one?"

Menu He placed a box in front of me. Inside was Lily's Light. The unique glow was unchanged.

"I bought it back. Lily's Light is proof of my love for you. You can't take it off, no matter what.'

He put it back on my finger.

I looked at the ring, laughing him in my heart.

Trent, you're a born actor. One second you're coming out of another woman's house and the next you're sweet-

talking me.

That night, as I was about to sleep, Trent's phone rang. He quickly turned it 13:05 17.1%

A few seconds later, it rang again. This repeated several times. Trent frowned. He didn't want it to bother me, so he answered.

It was so quiet that I could hear what they said.

"Trent, come out and have fun! We're all waiting for you."

Trent immediately refused. "I'm putting my wife to bed. Bye."

"Hey, wait! Do you have to be so uxorious? It's been ages since we hung out."

"Yeah, you can't be the kind of guy who drops his friends just because he's 13:05 32.1%

married! That's not cool."

They were so loud that Trent turned down the volume."Hey, my wife is sleeping. And I said no one was more important than Lily. I'm not going anywhere."

Even he said that, they didn't give up.

They were still trying to persuade him.

I finally spoke, "Just go. You haven't seen them in a long time."

Trent was reluctant, but he compromised. "I'll take you with me. If you don't go, I won't go."

His buddies on the other end of the call urged me, "Lily, come on, join us! It'll be fun."

Menu "Yeah, please! Trent won't come if you don't!"

Finally, I agreed to go with him.

When I stepped into the box, I saw Trent's friends surrounded by several women. Trent frowned and turned to leave.

His friends quickly reacted and dismissed the women.

"Go, go, get out of here."

Once the women were gone, his friends sighed and put their arms around him.

"Trent, you haven't changed at all. No woman can get close to you except Lily."

Menu Trent shoved him away, brushing off nonexistent dust."I'm married. I need to make my wife feel safe. You're single, so you won't understand."

Everyone laughed, except me.

Even though it was a guys' night, Trent's eyes were only on me. Someone lit a cigarette; Trent made him put it out.

Lily doesn't like the smell of smoke."

Someone offered him a toast; he refused."Lily doesn't like the smell of alcohol on me."

Someone started singing; he frowned."

Turn it off, Lily likes it quiet."

Trent refused to join them, concentrating on serving me food. He 13:05 74.7%

Menu expertly used the knife, presenting me a bowl of neatly cut fruit.

"Honey, enjoy it."

Noticing I was just wearing a dress and that the air conditioner was on, he took off his jacket and draped it over me.

"Honey, do you feel cold?"

Everyone exclaimed, "Trent, no wonder you got married!"
