Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband Chapter 53 [J [J00, 39%- Finished Casey tried to reach Lily

repeatedly, but every attempt failed. Frustrated, she sighed and turned to her husband. “She’s not answering

her phone.” “Keep trying,” he instructed firmly. Meanwhile, at the tranquil lake house, Ethan and Lily were

enjoying a peaceful lunch together. Lily’s face radiated happiness as she relished her meal, soaking in the

breathtaking beauty of the surroundings. “Thank you for bringinghere,” she said, her voice filled with

heartfelt gratitude. “Do you like it?” Ethan asked, his tone gentle. “I love it! This is the most beautiful place I've

ever seen,” she replied enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with joy. Seeing her so happy warmed Ethan's heart.

“If you ever want to chere again, just letknow. I'll bring you,” he promised. “Really?” Lily's excitement

was unmistakable. He nodded with a sincere smile, hiding the fact that the lake house already belonged to her. It

was his special wedding gift, a secret he was keeping for the right moment. After finishing their meal, Lily

couldn't contain her curiosity and got up to explore the house. Its rustic charm enchanted her as she eagerly

wandered through each room, Ethan trailing behind her like a quiet guardian. “Where exactly is this place?” she

asked, her curiosity piqued. “It's on one of the Ethan family’s properties,” Ethan replied casually, glancing at

their joined hands. Lily hadn't even noticed that she was holding his hand. “Oh,” she murmured, nodding

thoughtfully. As she continued to explore, she found herself falling in love with the house. She silently made a

resolution: one day, she would have a hlike this-a place to share with her loved ones, where they could

create beautiful memories together. Stepping into the garden, she delicately brushed her fingers over a bed of

lilies. “Does someone in your family love lilies?” she asked, her voice soft with curiosity. “Yes,” Ethan said, his

gaze fixed on her. “Someone very special to me.” Lily hesitated. She wanted to know more about this “special

someone” but decided it wasn’t her place to pry. Still, a strange pang of jealousy stirred within her. She envied

this mysterious person who, in her imagination, must have had such a beautiful place all to themselves. “Won't

that special person be upset with you for bringinghere?” she asked cautiously. “No,” he said with a small

smile. After all, she’s standing right beside me, he thought. Later, Lily wandered into a meadow filled with lilies

and lay down amidst the blossoms, a serene smile gracing her face. Ethan quietly joined her, lying beside her as

the gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the In that 15.57 Fri, 7 Mar Chapter 53 silent companionship. [J[J.39 [J-

Finished Lily closed her eyes, a serene smile gracing her lips, as though she were trying to engrave this tranquil

place into her soul. Here, there was no chaos, no betrayal, no thirst for revenge-just an overwhelming sense of

peace. “Lily, do you still have feelings for Ryan ?” Ethan's sudden question broke the silence. Startled, Lily turned

to face him, her mind racing for a response. The intensity in his gaze caused her heartbeat to quicken, but she

managed an awkward smile. “He’s Rose's boyfriend. Why would I love him?” Ethan’s expression remained firm.

“After everything he’s done to you, do you still love him? Is there any place for him in your heart? If one day he

returns, would you forgive him? Would you accept him back?” His words struck a chord, causing Lily's heart to

pound in her chest. A complicated mix of emotions flashed across her face. Narrowing her eyes, she asked

cautiously, “I'm not sure | understand what you mean, CEO Ethan.” Her formal tone irked Ethan, but he pushed

past his displeasure. He needed answers, even if it meant risking her discomfort. “Lily, | know everything about

you,” he said, his gaze unwavering. Lily’s body tensed. She sat upright, her eyes fixed on the ground as a shiver

ran down her spine. His words sent waves of anxiety crashing through her. “W-What do you mean by that?” she

stammered. “I know about your past-your birth, the Miller Family's lies, that worthless ex-boyfriend, and the

hardships you've endured living with them.” Her eyes widened in shock, her body trembling slightly. These were

secrets she believed no one could uncover. The Miller Family had hidden her true identity so well that even her

biological parents couldn't find her. How did he know? “W-What else? What else do you know about me?” she

asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her fear evident. Ethan could see the vulnerability in her eyes. He

wanted to reach out, to hold her and reassure her that she wasn’t alone anymore. But he held himself back.

“That's all | know,” he replied honestly. Relief washed over Lily as she exhaled deeply. At least he doesn’t know

about my rebirth, she thought. But the question still lingered-how had he discovered so much about her

otherwise? “Did you investigate me? How do you know all of this?” she asked, her tone laced with suspicion.

“Yes, | did,” Ethan admitted, though he chose his words carefully. “You work closely with Mr. Parker, and he’s my

best friend. | had to ensure everything was fine.” It wasn’t entirely the truth, but he didn’t want to burden her

further. She was already grappling with enough pain-her broken trust, her toxic family, and the scars left by her

past. Revealing the depth of his actions might scare her away, and that was the last thing he wanted. Ethan

wondered silently: If | told her the whole truth, would she run from me? 518
