78 On one condition

Although Lilly only whispered. Esther, Ashton and the white haired woman heard it clearly. Ashton looked at Lilly approvingly while Esther just sighed 'I don't know if her excessive love for him is good or bad.' 

The white haired woman's expression twisted when she heard what Lilly said and she looked at Max hatefully. "You should know that her future wouldn't be any better than a commoner is she stayed with you and who know what might happen when you aren't even strong enough to protect yourself."

When Ashton heard this, his expression sunk as he remembered his wife's fate. She was right. If you are powerful enough, no one would dare to try anything dodgy with you. But when he looked at Max and Lilly to say something, nothing came out of his mouth. He knew what love is. In front of love no reasoning works. He also just sighed and didn't speak.
