Chapter 256 You Call That A Kiss
Chapter <b>256 </b>You Call That A Kiss
Behind Lily zed a fire, if she fell back onto it, even if this time next year didn’t be the annive of her death, she’d still end up with her facepletely scorched.
“Lily”
James hadn’t expected <b>that </b>keeping his distance from her would cause her to lose her bnce and tip backward suddenly. He immediately lunged forward and caught her steadily around the lower back..
It <b>was </b>always some ridiculous coincidence.
Because of his sudden movement, she was propped up by his hand and lurched forward, straight into him. Their lips, without warning, pressed together,
James suddenly thought of <b>Le’s </b>lips–how they had fallen onto his earlier that day.
That moment of <b>dazed </b>distraction made him forget to pull away from the soft, intoxicating sensation.
While the two of them remained tightly pressed together, the stones at the entrance of the cave shifted. Ivan had crawled in.
“This cave entrance is seriously this small?”
He grumbled in frustration as he squeezed through–then froze when he saw what was happening just a few feet away. My older brother, who had always avoided women and insisted on marrying a manly wife, was actually kissing our future sister–inw?
Earlier today, Ashton had said James was clinging to the hand of some hideous girly–man, and he’d nearly lost faith in the world. But now? James might still be salvageable. Heh! I’ve got to go tell Grandpa right away.
If Grandpa found out <b>that </b>his sword–wielding, stubborn grandson might still turn out straight, he’d be over the moon.
James heard the pervyugh echoing from the cave entrance.
He was wearing shorts, so it wasn’t like anything inappropriate was exposed; but he wasn’t used to being <b>shirtless </b>around others. Without caring that his clothes were still wet, he quickly threw his shirt on.
Thatugh was <b>too </b>suggestive; for a moment, he didn’t recognize it and thought those lunatics had found their hiding spot. Instinctively, he pulled Lily into his arms to shield her.
Only after he held her tight did he realize thatugh sounded pervy and <b>familiar</b>.
He turned toward the <b>cave </b>entrance on instinct, only to see his third brother’s annoying face.
James shot Ivan a <b>re</b>, and Ivan instantly covered his eyes.
On the way here, he’d really been worried that his big brother might be killed by those <b>lunatics</b>.
Now, seeing his brother alive and well and clearly getting along great with his future sister–inw, Ivan couldn’t be happier.
Chapter 256 You Call That A Ries
The heavy gloom that had hung over him vanished, he returned to his usual sunny<b>, </b>bright self, fullet youthful energy.
He grinned like an idiot as he pecked through his fingers, watching the sweet scene of his big brother and <b>Lily </b>wrapped in each other’s arms.
A momentter, trying way too hard to act innocent, he said, “James, Lily, I totally didn’t see you two kissing just now. I’ve got night blindness; seriously, I didn’t see a thing. You two go ahead, pretend I’m not even here, treat me like air!”
James‘ face darkened. <i>If </i>Ivan really hadn’t seen anything, how would he knote our lips had even touched<i>? </i>
Lily hadn’t expected that she and James would end up colliding like that, much less that Ivan would walk
in on it.
She definitely didn’t <b>want </b>James<b>‘ </b>family getting the wrong idea that he was into her; instinctively, she opened her mouth to exin <b>what </b><b>had </b>just happened.
But before she could say a word, another big head popped through the cave entrance.
Ashton knew full well how capable James was in a fight; but the group of lunatics behind that club weren’t <b>weak </b>either.
There were too many of them; two fists couldn’t fend off four attacks, and sneak attacks were hard to guard against. When James had called and told him to bring people and wipe them out, Ashton had still heard <b>loud </b>crashing on the other end of the line.
He’d been terrified that James wouldn’t die in a fight–but might get smashed to death.
Or worse–end up in aa again.
On the way here, his spirits had hit rock bottom. He’d even secretly wiped his eyes a few times.
Now, seeing James <b>alive </b>and in one piece, he was overwhelmed with emotion and excitement. Forget about whether this would annoy his scary big bro–he blurted out happily, “Who’s kissing who? Why didn’t see it?”
Lily went quiet. Why was there nowhere to vanish into?
-She just wanted to curl up and disappear.
“What kiss?”
Trailing behind Ivan was Simon.
Simon had just happened to be eating with Ivan that night.
He never had a great impression of Lily, but he’d always admired and respected James. When he heard James <b>might </b>be in danger, he panicked; of cours,e he came along.
After Ivan <b>and </b>Ashton crawled into the cave. Simon followed close behind.
And the moment he stood up, he saw James and Lily tightly wrapped in each other’s arms.

Chapter 256 You Call That A Kiss
James was soaking wet, his shirt wide open–everything about the scene invited the imagination to run
wild.
Seeing the two of them, one man and one woman alone in a cave all night–he couldn’t help but feel a sharp sting of jealousy, like something sour and bitter had settled deep in his chest.
Without thinking, the words just came out, “What are you two doing?”
He really didn’t like Lily.
But she was his blind date match; he still wanted to try continuing that rtionship.
Not to mention, she had already forced a kiss on him, and even peeked at him in the bathroom.
She’d taken all kinds of liberties with him; he couldn’t ept her turning around and doing the same with Someone else.
Lily didn’t want the Luke family to misunderstand James; but she found Simon absolutely insufferable, and his usatory tone made zero sense. There was no way she was giving him a polite response. She snapped, “None of your damn business!”
“Lily!”
