Chapter 53 : The Paris Blues

*Wiliam*

After exiting the jet, I arranged for a limousine to take us to the Parisian hotel. As we drove through the city, I could sense that Lily was astounded by the breathtaking views. It was a joy watching the excitement in her eyes. I had been to Paris several times before for business meetings, but this time it was special. I had never been with someone I cared deeply for, and this trip carried a more profound sense of purpose and meaning. I had watched Lily overcome insurmountable challenges, and she deserved every new opportunity that was now opening for her.

As we approached the city, Lily continued to stare at the skyscrapers and bright lights. Her eyes lit up brighter than the stars shining at night. I chuckled silently as I watched her occasionally gasping and covering her mouth in amazement.

"What are you thinking? I have to know." I rested my hand under her chin and gently turned her face toward me.
