Aiden Grant forced a smile with difficulty, and after a long while, he said, "No need. Once things are settled, I'll explain everything to her. She will understand me."
Despite saying this, Aiden Grant had no confidence in his heart.
Lily Shaw never fussed with him, nor did she call to check up on him. She rarely intervened in his affairs.
In the past, he thought Lily Shaw was very understanding, never quarrelsome, and that was the best.
But now, he felt that Lily Shaw's way was not good at all.
He would rather she call him disregarding the situation, arguing with him, throwing a tantrum, than her leaving so silently.
The newcomer looked at Aiden Grant, exuding an air of despair, and thought to himself: even heroes have a hard time resisting beauty.

Aiden Grant sped all the way back to the courtyard house. On the way back, he kept imagining that Lily Shaw hadn't left, that she would still be waiting for him with a light on as before.
