Lily Shaw smiled wistfully, anyway, they were just a contract marriage, and there was no emotional foundation, so this was fine.
As long as the time comes, they would get the divorce papers and go their separate ways.
Lily Shaw was daydreaming when the priest was about to declare Aiden Grant and her as husband and wife. Aiden suddenly grabbed her hand, stared intently into her face, and said, "Lily Shaw, Aiden Grant will be yours in life and your ghost in death."
Upon hearing this, Lily Shaw was stunned; she didn't know how to react. She felt it was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
How could Eldest Young Master Grant say such a thing? It sounded as if he loved her dearly, yet didn't they just meet today? Didn't they have no emotional foundation at all?
"Fine, you will be mine in life and my ghost in death." Lily Shaw felt turmoil inside but showed nothing outwardly, smiling and following along with his words.
Lily Shaw answered nonchalantly, but when she looked up and met Aiden Grant's eyes, she found them filled with affection and tenderness, causing her heartbeat to flutter.
Aiden Grant's handsome face was lit up with a bright and cheerful smile, his exquisite features fully revealed by his smile, leaving one amazed.
Not only was Lily Shaw's mind a mess upon seeing his smile, but even his few close friends were taken aback, feeling that Aiden Grant was somewhat out of character today.
He usually kept a stern face, exuding the aura of authority at all times, which gave people a strong sense of oppression. If it weren't for the fact that the four of them were childhood friends, they wouldn't have entered his world to drink and have fun with him.
As close as they were, they rarely saw Aiden Grant smile so beautifully, and the joy between his brows was so apparent for the first time, every move and action revealing his inner delight.
Lily Shaw saw Aiden Grant for the first time, witnessing his expressionless face suddenly break into a joyful smile, her heart seemed to be struck fiercely, causing her heartbeat to become erratic.
Aiden Grant's delicate features made him a rare handsome man, yet he had not the slightest feminine air about him, exuding masculine vigor.
But when he smiled, he transformed from a macho man into an exquisite and seductive beauty, the change was so significant.
"If you dare betray me and fall in love with another man, I won't touch you, but I will personally deal with each one of them!"
The love for beauty is universal. Lily Shaw was no exception, momentarily distracted by Eldest Young Master Grant's smile, yet at the next moment, upon hearing Aiden Grant's subsequent words, her wavering heartbeat instantly returned to normal.
"Husband, within the agreed time, I will absolutely not betray you."
The spirit of the contract, she still had. Within this year, she wouldn't defy the contract, wouldn't have any unclear relationships with other men.
As for love, that was impossible. Her love dissipated completely during that previous farcical wedding. She no longer had the ability to love.
A year from now, they would go their separate ways and mind their own business.
Lily Shaw thought so, that's why she answered very straightforwardly, and smiled happily as well. She didn't mind Eldest Young Master Grant's unsolicited additions to the procedure.
Pretending is simple; everyone knows women are born actresses.
The initially very happy Eldest Young Master Grant's expression changed slightly when he heard these words, his sharp gaze shooting towards Lily Shaw.
