Lilith stood cautiously behind Adam, clutching his sleeve tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, her once rosy lips devoid of any color.
When Adam grabbed her hand and walked towards the palace, she was completely dazed.
Ever since hearing the good news of Adam being ennobled after returning to the country, she had abandoned all hopes of becoming Adam's wife.
Of course, she wanted to marry Adam, but she wasn't a fool, she was very aware of how troublesome her identity was.
So she didn't dare to hope.
She had long decided to enjoy this time before Adam returned home, so as not to have any regrets when he did.
She planned to find a quiet countryside to peacefully spend the rest of her life.
She would not be lonely.
Adam didn't know yet that the seed of life had already taken root within her.
This was a gift from the Goddess of Fengrao and also the fruit of their love.
