Enchanted By His Charm



Lilith asked others to leave first and just leave her alone there. They had no other choice but to follow her words. Lilith then moved to the bar counter and asked the bartender to give her more liquid.

The bartender tried to persuade her to stop drinking while Lilith leaned over the bar, covering her face with her hands. Her phone was constantly ringing. Seeing this, the bartender got it through and informed the address of the person at the other end of the phone.

Lilith looked up with difficulty, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Give a call to your family members and ask them to pick you up. It is not safe to stay here," said the guy.

Lilith took over her phone and then thought for a long while, trying to give a call to her family members. A few minutes later, she then made a call.

It was almost midnight when Jay got a call from Lilith. She sobbed on the phone, and it sounded like she was drunk. Jay arrived at the bar immediately and then took her out of the bar.

Lilith burst into tears when they got out and held Jay tightly. Jay felt upset to see this and allowed her to hold him. He heaved a sigh and then said softly, "Lilith, let me drive you home." But she shook her head, and tears trickled down her cheeks.

"I am going to get married soon, Jay. The wedding date has been scheduled."

Jay was almost frozen there as he heard this.

"I am going to get married soon. I am going to get married soon." She kept muttering and looked into his eyes.

Jay raised his hands and was about to touch her cheeks but then put them down slowly. "You are drunk. Let me drive you back,' Jay said softly.

"Why can't we be with each other?" Lilith asked who was leaning against his chest.

Jay felt his heart was broken, and he was in so much pain.

"Do you love me? Do you still love me?" Lilith asked him.

Jay felt his throat tighten. "Yes," he whispered beside her ears.

Lilith smiled, but the tears kept trickling down her cheeks.

Jay felt so regretful and wiped tears for her gently. He hadn't touched her so tenderly for a long time. He was eager to kiss her and told her that he loved her so deeply.

However, before Jay could put it into action, Lilith took the initiative to kiss him while encircling his neck tightly.

Her tears fell down into his thin lips, and Jay tasted it like bitter wine.

He wanted to escape with her and leave all of his misgivings behind his head, regardless of her mother's warning and the dangers he might bring to Lilith.

He kissed Lilith and held her in his arms as if she was the treasure of the world.

The faint smell of wine floated in the air, and Jay felt he was also drunk.

"Do you really want to go with me?" Jay asked in a low voice.

But he didn't get her reply.

Jay looked down and found she had fallen asleep; although her tears didn't even dry, Jay stared at her and became lost in a deep reverie.

But right at this time, a whistle blow stridently interrupted his thoughts. He looked up but saw Lenard walk out of the car. He looked unpleasant when he found Lilith leaning against Jay's chest.

It was not until then Jay realized that Lilith was already Lenard's girlfriend and soon she would be Lenard's wife.

"Thank you for taking care of Lilith, Jay," Lenard said, who stepped forward and then held Lilith into his arms. He came over as soon as he received the call from the bartender, but obviously, he didn't expect that Jay was also there.

"Jay..." Lilith suddenly blurted out her dream.

Jay furrowed his eyebrows and was about to step forward.

"I have already resigned," Lenard said abruptly.

Jay felt he got a kick in his chest as he heard this from Lenard.

"I am not a policeman, so she is safe to be with me," Lenard added.

After hearing this, Jay couldn't even utter a single word. He could do nothing but see Lilith being taken away by Lenard.

Lenard stopped the car after driving for a while. Lilith was leaning on the saddle quietly with her eyes closed. Lenard got close to her and then called her name softly. She opened her eyes with difficulty but still couldn't tell who the man in front of her was.

"Jay?" She muttered.

"Lilith, it's me. I am Lenard."

"Lenard?" Lilith asked in reply. But it sounded like she was disappointed.

Seeing this, Lenard was so jealous, and he lowered his head to kiss her, but Lilith dodged. 

"Don't touch me!" Lilith said subconsciously.

Lenard stopped, staring at her, and then said, "Why can't I touch you? I am your boyfriend, and we are going to get married soon." He had only held her hand before in his relationship with her and never kissed her because Lenard tried to respect Lilith. He was clear about who she loved, but even if he knew that Lenard still wanted to marry her.

"I want to go home," Lilith murmured. She felt her head explode with pain. She remembered it was Jay, but why was Lenard there?

Lenard stared at her for a moment and then said, "Lilith, forget him. He can give you nothing."

"No, you are wrong. It is not his fault. It's me. I can give him nothing," Lilith muttered in a shaky voice. 

Lenard furrowed his eyebrows as he heard the sentence from Lilith.

The light was still on when Roy got home.

Cassie was lying on the couch with her eyes closed. Roy treaded slightly, put down his portfolio, sat down on the couch, and stared at his wife.

He stared at her for a moment and then rubbed her cheeks. But soon, Cassie was woken up with startled eyes. She got up immediately as she found Roy was back.

"Why are you sleeping here?" asked Roy softly.

"I am waiting for you," Cassie said while looking at him, who was dressed up in his pilot uniform.

Roy was shocked yet moved by what Cassie had expressed.

Cassie was also noticing his astonished eyes, and she was against her conscience to say those words, so she tailed off into silence.

"I am going to fill the bathtub so you can take a bath," Cassie said in a low voice a few minutes later. She stood up and was about to walk to the bathroom. 

Roy followed her, held her gently, and whispered, "You miss me?"

Cassie flushed as soon as she heard this and then pushed him away.

"Roy, don't tease me."

However, she failed to get rid of his arms.

"Why don't you admit you miss me?" asked Roy with a soft smile.

Cassie didn't answer him but only kept silent.

"Didn't you say that you are waiting for me?" Roy pulled her over.

"Yes, I have something to talk about with you," Cassie replied with a sigh.
