Lily’s Light was so valuable that the
only way to sell it was by auction. So,
Trent saw it at the auction house?
I didn’t answer him immediately but
asked, “Did you go to the auction house?”
Trent hesitated, his eyes darting
around.“I… I was going to buy you some jewelry.”
It was for me, or it was for Vanessa?
She gave him such a big surprise that it
made sense for him to return the favor.
I suppressed my emotions, my voice.
calm.“I didn’t sell it. I donated it.”
Trent sighed, taking my hand.“Honey,
I know you’re kind, but if you want to

donate something, why this one?”

He placed a box in front of me. Inside was Lily’s Light. The unique glow was
unchanged.
“I bought it back. Lily’s Light is proof of my love for you. You can’t take it off, no
matter what.‘
He put it back on my finger.
I looked at the ring, laughing him in
my heart.
Trent, you’re a born actor. One
second you’re coming out of another
woman’s house and the next you’re sweet—
talking me.
That night, as I was about to sleep,
Trent’s phone rang. He quickly turned it

off, patting my back.

A few seconds later, it rang again. This repeated several times. Trent
frowned. He didn’t want it to bother me,
so he answered.
It was so quiet that I could hear what they said.
“Trent, come out and have fun! We’re
all waiting for you.”
Trent immediately refused.“I’m
putting my wife to bed. Bye.”
“Hey, wait! Do you have to be so
uxorious? It’s been ages since we hung
out.”
“Yeah, you can’t be the kind of guy who drops his friends just because he’s

married! That’s not cool.”

They were so loud that Trent turned
down the volume.“Hey, my wife is
sleeping. And I said no one was more
important than Lily. I’m not going
anywhere.”
Even he said that, they didn’t give up.
They were still trying to persuade him.
I finally spoke, “Just go. You haven’t
seen them in a long time.”
Trent was reluctant, but he
compromised. “I’ll take you with me. If
you don’t go, I won’t go.”
His buddies on the other end of the
call urged me, “Lily, come on, join us! It’ll
be fun.”

“Yeah, please! Trent won’t come if
you don’t!”
Finally, I agreed to go with him.
When I stepped into the box, I saw
Trent’s friends surrounded by several
women. Trent frowned and turned to
leave.
His friends quickly reacted and
dismissed the women.
“Go, go, get out of here.”
Once the women were gone, his
friends sighed and put their arms around
him.
“Trent, you haven’t changed at all. No
woman can get close to you except Lily.”

Trent shoved him away, brushing off
nonexistent dust.“I’m married. I need to
make my wife feel safe. You’re single, so
you won’t understand.”
Everyone laughed, except me.
Even though it was a guys‘ night,
Trent’s
eyes were only on me. Someone
lit a cigarette; Trent made him put it out.‘
Lily doesn’t like the smell of smoke.”
Someone offered him a toast; he
refused.“Lily doesn’t like the smell of
alcohol on me.”
Someone started singing; he frowned.”
Turn it off, Lily likes it quiet.”
Trent refused to join them,
concentrating on serving me food. He

expertly used the knife, presenting me a
bowl of neatly cut fruit.
“Honey, enjoy it.”
Noticing I was just wearing a dress
and that the air conditioner was on, he
took off his jacket and draped it over me.
“Honey, do you feel cold?”
Everyone exclaimed, “Trent, no
wonder you got married!”
