Under his questioning, Lily's face turns momentarily pale and then red. What she wants to say couldn't leave her mouth. She can only say, “Don't be like that…”
“Like what?” Ryan stares intently at the woman, he has never been so furious in these five years, “I only asked a question and you objected. So, you allow someone to kiss this area?”
“That's not what I meant!” Lily covers her neck and denies it without thinking, “It's not what you think.”
“No? Okay, tell me who he is.”
“…” Lily looks at him and accepts the fury in his eyes, what can she say? If it was anyone else who violated her, she can say it out but she can't say that it was Rex.
She has too much baggage with that man and she doesn't want Ryan to be involved in it.
So she can only choose to remain silent and not say anything.
In Ryan's heart, when seeing her silence, and her unwillingness to tell him, the first thing that came to his mind are she wants to protect that man.
Protect?
He smiles self-mockingly and is indeed not amused, “I worry about you the entire night, worried that you'll be frightened coming back this late and stood at the corridor waiting for you, and what did I get for this? You brought someone else's scent, and marks left by someone. Lily, it's because I was too nice and now you take me for granted?”
“No.” She shakes her head, “I didn't think that way. I appreciate all your kindness towards me and you are always in my heart!”
Ryan has always been very important to her because the most important person to her is Adair and the reason that Adair survived was entirely due to Ryan.
Normally Ryan will feel very consoled when she says this but today, in this situation, whatever she says is useless. He has already lost his logic and can't accept whatever she says. He can only remember that she doesn't want to tell him who the person, who left those marks on her, was.
That's why he blurts out these hurting words, “Why? You can't accept your benefactor and had to find an outsider. I didn't expect that you have such an aspect.”
After he finishes, he sarcastically adds, “I'm too careless.”
“Ryan!” Lily couldn't believe it and stares at him with eyes wide open, “How can you think of me that way…”
Her look of disappointment and sadness pierces into Ryan's heart but he hardens himself, “Then tell me how I should think? You already did those things.”
He is most unwilling to say that he despises her because he has never looked down upon her. But what happened today broke his image of her. He doesn't want to believe that she is such a woman but the facts are right in front of him. His pride and dignity won't allow it.
They were nothing to each other but he feels betrayed.
Lily couldn't explain herself but she is concerned about how Ryan thinks of her. After all these years, it is impossible for her not to be concerned.
But she can't explain herself; she can't say these to him.
Lily's eyes are already red, at this time she really doesn't dare to trigger Ryan any further, “No! We didn't do anything!”
“Really?” Did he believe her words or is he pretending? Lily is confused. She doesn't have to wait for long before he says, “Lily, I no longer know if I should trust you. How about this, I'll inspect, if there isn't anything, I'll not do anything, okay?”
Inspect…
This word practically is a nuclear bomb into Lily's heart. She is terrified and shakes her head, “No, no…”
“You keep saying no, I have never forced you. But this time you must allow me. If you had been touched by someone else, I'll go mad.” He is determined and has already made a choice in heart.
He lets go of her chin and his hand goes downwards and reaches her trousers as he slides his hand in.
Lily firms up her voice, “No!”
She is afraid that he will violate her and she can't accept that. “Ryan, if you force me, I will kill myself.”
“I'm almost dead!” He shouts as his hair ruffles, “You're kissed by someone. When you were touched by him, have you considered my feelings?”
“It's not like that!” Lily can feel his fingers getting closer. Just as he almost reaches, Lily closes her eyes and her tears flows, she cries helplessly, “It's Rex, it's him! I met him tonight!”
