    Lily turned toward him and stiffened her lips. She fell silent and finally leaned back against the bed.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Sleep then.”


    A triumphant smile crossed Loid’s face. “I want to hold you when <b>I </b>sleep.”


    ring at him, Lily <b>snapped</b>, “Don’t try to take advantage of the situation!”


    “But I’m cold!” Loid snuggled closer to her. “You’re warm.”


    Feeling utterly resigned, Lily muttered, “fast hurry up and sleep.”


    “Okay”


    <b>Lold </b>closed his eyes for a while and opened them shortly after. “My mom said that once my poison ispletely cleared, she wants to host a banquet to announce our rtionship


    Lily nodded. “Mnie told me about it.”


    “So that means you admit that you’re my fiancée” Loid sat up and pulled her into his arms


    Still absorbed in her thoughts, Lily hadn’t noticed that she was nestling in his embrace.


    “I’m just trying to please Mnie,” she drawled out after <b>a </b>long while.


    Loid sighed just how long would it take for her to bare her emotions to him?


    *Mom will be delighted. She wants me to marry you.” Loid smirked. “Even so, are you still willing to make her happy and go along with it?”


    Lily nced at him and suddenly realized something. “Aren’t you going to sleep?”


    Loid fell silent. It appeared that he couldn’t get the response he anticipated


    “I have a gift for you.” He withdrew a file from the drawer at the bedside table and handed it to Lily. “All the Maynard family’s properties have been transferred to your name. Reese, you’ll have to protect me from now on!” He beamed at her.


    Staring at his bright smile, Lily was momentarily stunned. She snapped back to her senses shortly after and stated indifferently, “I can’t ept such filth. Do whatever you want with it.”


    The Maynards nearly incurred Belinda’s death. She absolutely wouldn’t use a single penny from their ounts.


    “Alright. I’ll have Shaun cash it all out and donate it to an orphanage in your name,” Loid said. He had a gist that she wouldn’t ept it, but he still had <b>to </b>inquire her opinion. Since she didn’t want it, there was no need to keep it either.


    “Whatever,” Lily said. She suddenly turned around, her gaze lingering on him before she arched her brows. Smirking, she continued, “Lold, it seems like you’re not nning to sleep.”


    Loid froze and cleared his throat swiftly. “Now that you’re with me, I suddenly can’t sleep”


    “I’ll leave then.”


    Loid instantly tightened his grip around her when she was about to leave his bed. Propping his head against her shoulder, he murmured in a baritone voice, “Don’t leave. Let me hold you for awhile. I was so afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see you again when I was being pursued<b>.</b>”


    Lily stilled and remained silent. In an instant, silence nketed the room as neither of them spoke


    After a few minutes, she tilted her head and nced at Loid, “You could’ve just sought treatment at a nearby hospital. Why risk your life to return?”


    “You told me even if I die, I should’ve died here! Loid rumbled.


    Lily’s heart seemingly skipped a beat. She was rendered silent for a long while. Finally, she began in a strained voice, “Should we date? Her face became flushed


    Loid jerked his head up and stared at her in astonishment. “Are you serious?


    youran take it as a joke as well. Lily began to regret her decision.


    “I’m taking it seriously,” Loid sat up and took her into an embrace “You can’t take it back now.”
