Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage novel Chapter 17

Lillian could only gather herself in a hurry, and then go out calmly.

There was only one wall lamp on in the hall outside. Archibald leaned against the wall. Half of his face was in the light with the other half hidden in the dark. His tall figure showed some unspeakable loneliness, and he looked unpredictable and unfathomable.

"Archibald, let’s...talk."

Lillian summoned up courage and walked to him.

Archibald raised his head, "What do you want to talk about?"

"What do you want from me?" Lillian said, "Why me? Or you just tell me what you want. If I can give you, I..."

She wanted to say that she would give him as long as she could, but was afraid that Archibald wanted to take advantage of her. Although her marriage was unfortunate, after all, she was loyal to her marriage. Sebastian could have an affair with ease, but she could not do so.

Therefore, she swallowed the words that she had not spoken out.

"Why you?" Archibald smiled again. His black eyes were bright and deep. He looked at her like a predator staring at his inevitable prey, "Because it has always been you."

"As for what I want, you will know later."
