My Bossy CEO Husband

Lyndon’s silence lingered before he finally spoke.

“No.

”

Her heart sank with his admission, yet his next words offered a sliver of solace.

“But I recognize that you are now my wife, the woman I am committed to protecting for the rest of my life.

”

Lyndon’s voice was gentle, his well-defined features remaining exceptionally handsome.

Tilda was unsure of her feelings at the moment.

Although feeling a bit disappointed, she could understand him.

He was always a deeply affectionate man, and she appreciated his honesty with her.

Besides, there was no reason to be so petty as to be jealous of someone who had already passed away.

However, she could also read between the lines.

Although he didn’t say it directly, she had a good sense of his intentions.

He did say that he would protect her for the rest of his life, but that wasn’t out of love.

It was merely coming from his sense of responsibility.

Tilda pushed her glasses up her nose and lowered her eyes slightly.

“I’ve said it before, I will live a good life with you.

”

Even if it was only to give Sheldon a complete family, she was willing to share a life with him.

However, she was adamant about staying true to herself and keeping herself from falling for him.

Suddenly, her chin felt warm as Lyndon’s slender fingers raised it.

“Tilda, I must admit, my feelings for you aren’t deep.

But I will do my best to give you all the love I can.

”

His eyes were dark and deep, but his gaze was tinged with tenderness.

He just gave her his word.

Now that he said he would give her all his love, then that meant he would truly treat her well from now on.

At that moment, her heart began to race as joy washed over her rather unexpectedly.

Right then, he leaned down slightly and brushed his Lips against hers.

Naturally, the soft touch made her flutter.

Out of instinct, she closed her eyes and clenched her fists.

His lips moved gently, lightly caressing her lips with utmost tenderness.

Tilda kept her eyes closed.

As she felt his breath so close to her skin, she realized her resolve wasn’t so strong.
