Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 878

Lillian and Leonard's private celebration was beautifully decorated, radiating warmth and romance.

Leonard had prepared everything well in advance. Lillian's company had just fought a crucial and triumphant battle. Now that Lillionix's reputation was firmly established globally, a relentless flood of orders and partnerships was inevitable.

The current scale of her company was nowhere near enough to handle the upcoming growth.

Leonard hadn't been idle during this time. Even though he seemed to be resting at home every day, he had been meticulously mapping out these preparations behind the scenes.

As their celebratory lunch wound down, Leonard pulled out a document folder and solemnly handed it to Lillian.

Lillian looked up in surprise. "A gift?"

"Exactly. It's a gift. Open it and see if you like it."

Lillian took the folder, unspooled the string, and pulled out the documents. Her eyes widened in shock, and she immediately looked up at Leonard.

"This is..."

Leonard offered a gentle, affectionate smile. He knew she would love it.

"Well? Is the gift suitable?"

"An entire skyscraper?"

"Lillionix Tower," Leonard corrected her gently. "Those two floors of office space you have now won't be nearly enough. Move your corporate headquarters to this building and go full speed ahead.

With your brilliance, this building will be packed with employees in no time."

Lillian was deeply moved. "Leonard, how do you always think ten steps ahead of me?"

Her voice was laced with emotion.

Leonard chuckled softly. "I have to think ahead. You're already incredibly busy with work, and I selfishly take up all your free time after hours. If I didn't plan everything perfectly for you, I'd be a terrible boyfriend."

Lillian's heart swelled. Leonard always knew exactly what she needed.

Lillian nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Leonard. You always know exactly what I want, and you always beat me to the punch.

But somehow, a simple 'thank you' just doesn't feel like enough."

Leonard's eyes darkened playfully. "I'm already prepared to offer myself to you entirely. A mere building is nothing compared to that."

His teasing smoothly drew a laugh from Lillian.

Overwhelmed with affection, she leaned in and wrapped him in a tight embrace.

"We'll save the physical offers for later. I can't risk overexerting you right now."

Leonard lowered his head, his lips gently brushing against hers.

The moment they touched, a heavy, magnetic tension sparked between them. The kiss deepened, thick with a musky scent and intoxicating desire. After a long while, they were both hovering on the edge, the seductive tension nearly pushing them past the point of no return. But given both of their fragile health conditions, the physical toll would simply be too high. Despite the agonizing restraint required, they had no choice but to pull away.
