Chapter 147

• Lewis stood frozen for a moment, his mouth agape in shock as he took in Lily’s stunning figure. The air around them crackled with tension. Realizing his reaction, Lily quickly covered herself with her robe, her cheeks flushed.
• “I guess you’re not interested,” she said, attempting to mask her disappointment with a light tone. “Okay, fine.” With that, she turned to leave, her heart sinking.
