The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

The truth was, in situations like this, the one who suffered wasn’t always the woman.

James was so ridiculously good-looking, with a flawless figure to match. Even with his condition, if someone like

him were put in a high-end club, no one would get to touch or kiss him without paying at least a million bucks.

Men, too, needed to protect themselves out in the world.

Just thinking about what she’d done to him last night-there were probably dozens of rich women who'd envy her.

So no, she didn’t feel like she'd taken advantage of him.

Seeing him staring at her coldly, clearly waiting for her to call the police, Lily quickly cback to her senses

and said, “No need to call the police. | know you didn’t mean to do anything last night. You... you must've

mistakenfor someone else. | know you really hateand don’t want to have any physical contact with me.

But last night, because | tried to give you scandy, we ended up... touching. I'm sure that’s something hard

for you to accept. Honestly, you were the one who suffered last night. I'm definitely not going to call the police.”

He hated her?

James frowned slightly.

He didn’t feel any strong like or dislike toward her.

He was set on getting a divorce, and he avoided physical contact-not because of her specifically.

He was simply devoted to someone else and didn’t want to get entangled with any other woman.

As for last night....

James closed his eyes, shand self-loathing/washing over him again.

Maybe it was the alcohol, but the way he had kissed her, held her-none of it had felt repulsive or wrong.

Instead, he hadn’t been able to stop himself. He'd wanted more,

He was exactly the kind of man he despised-shameless, unfaithful scum who couldn’t even control his impulses.

He was disgusting. Utterly pathetic.

“Lily, once we get the divorce certificate, I'll compensate you with a villa in the city center.”

She hadn't called the police out of respect for their elders. But just because she didn’t, didn’t mean he could

pretend what he did was acceptable.

He needed to make it right in another way.

After a pause, he added, “If you have ttoday, | can transfer the ownership of the villa to your name.” Lily was

stunned.

Clearly, he meant to use the villa as compensation.

A villa in the city center would easily be worth hundreds of millions.

Even though she was the one who had taken advantage of him last night, he still wanted to compensate

her...

Truly, the Luke family’s values were terrifyingly upright. Just because she was a woman, even though he was

deeply repulsed by touching her, he still felt responsible and wanted to make it up to her.

He'd had his assistant transfer her a hundred million this morning, and she hadn't returned it yet. There was no

way she could accept something as massive as a villa.

She shifted slightly and hurried to say, “James, really, you don’t need to givea villa. I... | have plenty of

money. | can buy a place myself.”

She had already been looking at properties.

Once they got divorced, she definitely planned to move out of the Luke family estate.

She didn’t want to keep staying in hotels. She wanted a comfortable apartment, a place she could call her

own.

“Alright.”

James was never one to waste words. He didn’t argue with her.

Either way, he’d just have his lawyer add the villa transfer into the divorce agreement.

She and her old classmate had been getting along well lately. They'd probably end up getting married and

having kids. That villa could be his wedding gift to her.

To avoid any further inappropriate contact between them, he thought for a moment and said coldly, “Lily, you

and | still have to live under the sroof for a while. If | get drunk again, or if I'm not feeling well, don’t worry

about me. The farther you stay from me, the better. Until our divorce is made public, | don’t want any more

physical contact between us.”

In other words, he'd rather pass out drunk or suffer alone than have her cnear him.

Clearly, her decision to give him hangover candy last night had really ticked him off.

Lily wanted to reassure him and quickly promised, “I'll be more careful from now on. | won't cnear you

again. I'll also try to find the right person soon, so Grandpa and Grandma will agree to the divorce. Then you'll be

free”

“Alright.”

James also wanted them both to

regain their freedom as soon 8%

She was also incredibly thankful she hadn't shown up as Leila last night.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed.

She thought, now that he believed she was a man, James would never contact her again.

She never expected to see another message from him.

“Leila, good morning.”

Lily froze, completely at a loss.

Before she could recover from the shock, another message followed.

“I don’t mind that you're a man.”
