"Who is your wife—," Lily's face quickly flashed with shyness.
"How is it not... You accepted the ring, and now you want to return it? Huh?"
"I will, soon..."
Just as Lily was about to say 'return it,' she thought of the man who left the ring behind and found herself unable to utter the words 'return it' no matter what.
Aidan's eyes flickered slightly, his lips curled up as he said, "Lily, do you remember what I said last night? I love you, and in this lifetime, I will only love Lily Redington. I told you that I needed to hear your answer today, and you aren't allowed to refuse."
He looked at the little person in his arms and reached out to take her hand.
"I, and he, we are all waiting for you to nod," Aidan looked at her with an almost affectionate gaze.
Her heart trembled slightly, and from the infinite affection in his deep black pupils, she seemed to see two identical faces.
"I..."
The words 'I am willing' almost slipped out.
