Raising My Wife

"Ah! ! ! ! !" After taking a soft shower, Lily lay on the bed, thinking about what had happened all day. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. Finally Lily couldn't help but call out in a low voice.

When she finished, Lily finally calmed down. She said to herself in bed, "what happened to you today? You won't behave like this all the time! But today, he is so strange." Lily glanced at tiger puppet next to her and thought of the third room where there were all puppets.

She thought it over carefully. Since her mother died, James was the first person who was so nice to her.

She prepared such a beautiful room for herself, a full room of puppets, an independent study environment, and what surprised her most was that he cooked for her. Perhaps, he did that not all for me, but I could feel that he treated me differently from others.

Why?' Lily didn't know the reason.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Someone was knocking at the door? 'But Lara isn't here today. No one will knock at the door. I must have misheard, ' Lily thought. Lily just ignored turned her back to the tiger puppet.

After a while, a knock sounded on the door again. The voice was calm, indicating that the person outside was very patient.

'Is there really someone knocking at the door?' Lily couldn't help but get up and get out of bed. When she walked to the door, she raised her voice to ask who it was. Lily walked to the door, and suddenly opened it. A tall figure stood outside the door. She was startled when she saw it clearly.

Unexpectedly, It was James!

"Well... Well... Well... What's up?" Lily asked incoherently as soon as she came to her senses. She looked at James in surprise.

There was no exaggeration on James's face. Seeing that, James softened his tone, "you don't have to be so afraid of me."

Lily awkwardly raised her hand, scratching her head, "no..."

"Drink it." James handed her the things in his hand.

Lily looked down and saw a glass of milk that James had handed to her. When James raised the milk, the light in the soft room just poured into the milk cup, and the milk glowed. The milk today looked more delicious than usual.

Lily didn't take the milk, and stared at that glass of milk. 'James's hands were beautiful, so was the milk.' Lily raised her head gently and looked straight into James's steady eyes. "I don't know the reason, but I really appreciate you. Thank you for everything you have done. Thank you." Lily had been gazing at James, hoping to find any other emotions in his eyes, but to no avail.

"Drink it." James pushed the milk a little bit to Lily's side and repeated what he had said.

Lily nodded. This time, she didn't refuse. She took it and drank it at small gulps. However, Lily was not as calm as she appeared to be. She watched the milk being slowly drunk by herself, being afraid that she would reveal her inner emotions carelessly.

Finally, Lily finished. James took the cup. When he saw the milk stains on Lily's lips, his heart was softened. The next second, James raised his left hand and touched Lily's hair. His eyes were full of gentleness.

"Take your time, Lillias." After saying that, James withdrew his hand, turned around and left.

Lily stood still.

'just now, he touched my head? His hand touched my head?' Lily couldn't believe it.

James was good at handling such an intimate act, but it didn't show much affection. It felt more like a comfort from an elder? Lily's heart was in a mess.

Lily had been tossing and turning the whole night. And make dreams all night. Sometimes, it was James's gentle head-touch; Sometimes it was the milk; Sometimes it was the food that he cooked. Anyway, all dreams were related with James.

In Lily's dream, James was gentle. Perhaps, just because he was usually too cold, the occasionally expression on his face was even more gentle and unforgettable.

On the other side, James was reading a file in his bed. He stopped all of a sudden. He opened his left hand and stared at it intensely. It seemed that he could still feel the temperature of Lily's soft hair. He always remembered that Lara sent her a glass of warm milk every night. Therefore, Lara was not here tonight, so he warmed up the milk and sent it to Lily by himself. He was satisfied as Lily drank the soup off. He couldn't help but caress her hair.

It seemed that James had raised a daughter. James laughed and he had been worrying about her all the time. He was more like raising a daughter.

It was a long night.

In the following days, Luke went to the villa every day to give Lily study guidance as James ordered. There were also Bill and Lara with him. They knew that James was used to having meals at home, so even though they had to rush back and forth every day, they wouldn't feel a little dissatisfied. Bill and Lara were very grateful for what James had done for them. As a matter of fact, they were only doing things they should do.

Luke's guidance was not dull. He had both Chinese traditional education and open education abroad, Therefore, under the guidance, Lily felt interesting, and unconsciously indulged into the study. With the guidance of Luke, Lily had made rapid progress.

However, there was something wrong with James these days. But it didn't seem unusual.

In the past few days, James had breakfast at home every day. He didn't leave so early and didn't come back home very early either. He went to work on time every day. However, as soon as James came home from work, he went to the room where Lily was tutored and sat on the sofa.

James didn't say anything. He read a book. Although he didn't disturb them, they were still awed by his aura, which made the two of them who were tutoring feel unspeakably embarrassed.

However, every day at meal time, it was no longer James and Lily only two people, but turned into Bill, Lara, Luke, James and Lily. Suddenly turning into five people, there are some wonderful lively. Although they didn't talk much with each other, the whole restaurant was filled with the earthly atmosphere.

Bill, Lara and Luke always left the villa after dinner. Therefore, James naturally heated up the milk and sent it to Lily every night. As time went by, Lily became accustomed to it rather than the initial surprise. Time could change everything, including one's initial uncomfortableness.

Just as they were getting used to this kind of life, a mysterious man suddenly appeared in the villa and broke the peace.
