My Husband's Affair My Anniversary Gift (Lily and David) novel Chapter 230

Lily shot him a look that could cut steel. “First you hire bodyguards to follow me, now you want to follow me yourself? You are unbelievable.”

“Mum, let Dad come.” Danish spoke softly but firmly. “I’ll stay with Dad when you go meet people.”

Lily froze.

Her son. The one who always clung to her. The one who used to cry if she left the room… suddenly wanted David too.

She looked at Danish’s hopeful face, then at David’s pleading one. It irritated her more that both were giving her the same expression.

“Please, Mum,” Danish added, tugging her hand gently.

David nodded like he was supporting his son’s words. “Please, Lily. I really won’t disturb you.”

Lily stared at them for a moment. Her jaw tightened. She didn’t like this. She didn’t like how easily Danish was already getting attached to David. And she didn’t like how David kept pushing himself into her life.

But she also didn’t want Danish sad.

She sighed heavily. “Fine. But don’t get in my way.”

David almost smiled but quickly controlled his face.

“Never,” he said softly. “I’ll just stay behind you.”

Lily warned them with one last glare, then began walking toward the exit. Danish grabbed her hand with one hand and David’s with the other. David looked down at their joined hands and felt something strangely warm spread inside him.

Lily purposely acted like she didn’t notice.

They walked out together, but Lily kept her face straight. Inside her chest her heart was beating too fast and she hated that she couldn’t control it.

She hated that David still affected her.

And David, walking behind them, kept staring at her small shoulders.

When they reached the car, David waved his hand at the bodyguards. “Go. I don’t need you right now,” he said. The guards nodded and stepped back.

“Get in. I’ll drive,” David said to Lily.

Lily didn’t answer him. She walked to the back door and grabbed the handle, but before she could open it fully, David slammed it shut.

“What are you doing?” She glared at him with anger rising in her face.

“Sit in the front,” David said.

“Why should I sit in the front? I’ll sit wherever I want,” Lily snapped and reached for the handle again. Before she could pull it, David caught her wrist.

“Sit in the front, Lily,” he said again, his voice firm and low.

“Then I’m not going with you,” she said through her teeth. She pulled her hand back and turned to walk toward her own car. But David stepped in front of her so fast she almost bumped into him.
