Aidan Lucas hesitated to speak again.
At that moment, he really wanted to ask.
'In our marriage,' who exactly does 'we' refer to?
But he didn't dare to ask.
He didn't dare to explore whether in her heart she loved him more or loved another Aidan Lucas more.
No, maybe that question was wrong in the first place.
The woman didn't even know that there were two people living in this body.
And he, too, didn't dare to tell her.
Because he knew.
The Aidan Lucas she loved was never him.
The atmosphere turned tense; both of them remained silent, neither speaking again.
It wasn't until much later that Aidan Lucas reached out, covering her drooping little head.
He rubbed it gently and said in a hoarse voice, "Alright, whatever you say, I'll listen to you."
His time was short, and he didn't want their final memories to be filled with disputes and cold wars.
"Aidan Lucas..." Lily looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Just a second later, she would have succumbed.
