Chapter 37: Husband–Wife… Intimate Moments o(*////////*)

NoDi was skeptical of Andy’s claim, but recalling that familiar figure, he realized it really did. resemble Lily! The more he thought about it, the more questions arose, 

To NoDi, Andy was still a naive child, and he believed the boy had been misled by his father. But another voice whispered, “What if… what if Lily had returned?* 

He then checked online news. 

NoDi, who was supposed to return to America, ended up staying for several days, finally deciding to visit the Janson 

Janson residence 

residence unexpectedly. He needed to know the truth! John inwardly balked at NoDi’s visit. He would have preferred to avoid him, but he couldn’t; NoDi was Lily’s friend. Whether or not they met was Lily’s decision. 

NoDi arrived. He swallowed nervously as he moved from the foyer to the living room. 

“NoDi, long time no see,” Lily greeted him warmly. 

Seeing Lily’s face and hearing her voice, NoDi exclaimed “My god!” three times. He moved to greet her with a kiss on the cheek, but John stopped him. 

NoDi stumbled onto the sofa, overwhelmed with surprise and joy. His reactions were instinctive. 

“Ms. Lynch! It’s really you! You’re back! Oh my god, this is wonderful!” NoDi, a tall, powerfully built man with a full beard, wept openly, his composure shattered. Since defeating his uncle and regaining control of the family 

of the family business, he hadn’t shown such vulnerability. 

John finally handed him a tissue.“Wipe your nose!” 

Lily had extended a helping hand when NoDi was at his lowest point. His feelings for her were complex–more than romantic love; it was familial, a source of comfort and solace. 

Inevitably, NoDi asked about her absence. He complimented her, “Ms. Lynch, you’re as beautiful as ever. Time hasn’t touched you…” 

Lily last saw NoDi three months ago, when he shared the good news of his victory over his uncle. He was largely unchanged, still with his Shakespearean style, only his beard was fuller. 

Lily used her prepared excuse, mentioning 

Cuse, mentioning a plane crash and subsequent recovery period. 

NoDi inquired about her recovery, offering assistance. He said he’d never forgotten her words and had been successful in business… 

He had so much to say, his words pouring forth. 

John stood arms crossed, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes increasingly sharp. Ben years hadn’t changed his dislike of NoDi. He was bristling! 

Lily took a grape from the fruit bowl, 

ate one, and then fed one to John.–Petting the dog, 

John: He might be talking to NoDi, but Lily’s still thinking of me! 

NoDi didn’t stay long. He’d planned to have lunch, but a family emergency called him away. He bid farewell, promising to visit again soon. 

John muttered under his breath, there was nothing to revisit! 

After NoDi left, John hesitated, then said, “Lily, I can help you contact those private sellers.” NoDi, as the auction house owner, had connections with many private collectors; Lily had just asked for his help in finding antique porcelain.

He’s the expert. It’s easy for him. You’re so busy lately. I want to spend more time with you,” John aid. 

Lily tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes sparkling, captivating John. He was 

smitten. 

Lily was merely adjusting her hair, but to John forgot about his jealousy, captivated.

incredibly alluring. 

“I’m planning to update my comic, continuing my previous storyline, anthropomorphizing porcelain… collaborating with the national museum…” Lily said, searching for the outline from what she considered last month but was actually fifteen years ago, oblivious to John’s intense 

gaze. 

She thought she was just being playfully affectionate, but John was deeply affected. Before she found the file, she found herself lifted into his arms. When she next looked at her phone, it was the following day. 

Lily:… 

Beast! They said men lost their vigor in middle age! This man was even more demanding than before! 

Aching from their encounter, Lily declared she needed restraint. John readily agreed. “Lily, I can control myself, as long as you don’t tempt me.” 

Lily questioned what could possibly tempt him. 

“Like yesterday…” he said. 

He’d just said no! That was temptation*? 

“John, do you think *I’m* tempting you *right now*? Hmm?” Lily swore her tone was simply a little softer, perfectly normal 

for an

affectionate couple. It wasn’t 

seduction 

John firmly nodded. It 

was. 

Lily laughed. 

“You’re incorrigible. Don’t…” 

Her words trailed off. John leaned in, his arousal palpable. His dark eyes burned with desire. His husky voice whispered in her ear, “Lily, I’m truly tempted.” 

Lily fled. She wasn’t wasting any more time in bed today. That man was completely out of control! 

John, left alone, breathed heavily, his dark eyes clearing. Yes, Lily was the trigger for his desires. Even with three children, he’d never been unrestrained. Ben years of separation, and then reunion, had unleashed a primal urge. He was never gentle. 

-I scared Lily today. I need to be more careful next time. 

Lily sneezed downstairs, a shiver running down her spine. She 

All thanks to John! The old lecher!
