Chapter 85

Lewis turned to face Ethan, his posture subtly shifting to convey a hint of challenge. His eyes met Ethan's with a piercing gaze, and his arms remained loosely wrapped around Lily's waist, a casual yet possessive gesture. Lily's eyes widened as she looked at Ethan, her gaze filled with surprise and a touch of wariness. "Ethan?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, as if she wasn't sure she was really seeing him.
Ethan's gaze locked onto Lewis, and his face twisted with a mixture of anger and disbelief. "You," Ethan spat, the word exploding from his lips as his anger boiled over. His eyes blazed with intensity, and his jaw clenched tightly, emphasizing the sharpness of his words. "You're with her?" The question was laced with accusation, as if Ethan couldn't fathom the idea of Lewis being with Lily.
Lewis raised an eyebrow, his expression a blend of curiosity and amusement. His arms still loosely encircled Lily's waist, a gesture that seemed to underscore his connection to her. "And what's it to you, Ethan?" he asked, his voice smooth and measured. The question hung in the air, a challenge to Ethan to explain his interest in Lily's relationship with Lewis. Lewis's tone was cool, almost detached, but beneath the surface, a thread of tension was palpable.
