Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 554: Chapter 557: Are you willing to believe him unconditionally?

What the… they’re talking so much but not getting to the point!

“Before you say anything else, if you want me to trust you, you should be honest with me too. Tell me straight, what’s the deal with those rumors between you and Hannah Ford?”

She had learned about this incident yesterday.

Truthfully, although she had managed to maintain a calm appearance in front of Rowena Gray and her daughter,

when she called David Redington afterward, she was already close to reaching her limit.

Had David not suddenly reassured her,

she might have had a sleepless night yesterday, in her emotionally agitated state.

Thinking about the unfair treatment she had suffered yesterday, Lily Gray put on a rare stern expression, “Ethan Wilson, are you going to tell me or not?!”

She stared at him with her captivating peach blossom eyes, in a serious tone.

Little did she know, just how alluring she appeared in his eyes.

The man suddenly sat up and stretched his hand to hold her chin.

His magnetic voice sounded low, “Don’t look at me like that…”

“You…”

“It makes me want to devour you in one bite.”

Lily Gray: “…”

At this point in time, how could he be thinking about those things?

Lily Gray was truly driven to tears by his actions.

“Ethan Wilson, are you afraid to tell me the truth, so you keep changing the subject? I asked you about the rumors between you and Hannah Ford, why won’t you tell me!”

This time, Lily Gray was genuinely angry.

Glowing with rage, she glared at him and no longer showed him a pleasant face.

Seeing Lily Gray’s slightly plump cheeks, Ethan Wilson’s dark deep eyes flashed a hint of different color.

But it was quickly suppressed by him.

He dared not say.

Lily was right; he was indeed trying to change the subject on purpose.

Since last night, when he found out Lily knew everything, he had been like a madman, wanting to rush over to see her.

However, reason held him back and suppressed all the impulsive thoughts within him.

Not until this morning, when he had arranged everything,

and led the people secretly watching him away, did he find a brief moment to come here.

Seeing Lily was alright, he realized his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally found a place to land.

“Lily…” Ethan Wilson knew Lily Gray was waiting for his answer.

But sorry.

For the sake of both their futures, there were some words he could not say.

“Tell me, are you willing to trust me unconditionally?”

He knew his request was unreasonable.

Even somewhat unjustifiable.

For Lily now, this was the time when she was most prone to feeling lost and insecure.

Yet, he was asking her to trust him unconditionally without giving her a reason.

He knew how pathetic that sounded.

Lily Gray did not expect Ethan Wilson would ask this.

For a moment, her mind went blank, but soon, countless images of the experiences they had shared together flashed through her mind.

Lily Gray took a deep breath, calming herself down.

She gently rested her head back on his chest.

Her ear pressed against his heart.

She could hear the strong and powerful beating of his heart.

“Thump-thump-thump.”

The man’s heartbeat was steady and strong.

The sound in her ear had a magically soothing effect on her heart.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and said softly, “No matter what happens… this time, I choose to trust you. As long as you tell me that there’s nothing between you and Hannah Ford, and that everything outside is all lies… I’ll believe you.”

She had once thought he had betrayed her.

She had initially, easily dismissed him with just a single sentence.

But this time, she wanted to try.

To try and wholeheartedly, without reservation, trust him once more.
