The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 121 Not So Simple

Chapter 121 Not So Simple

James knew Leila hated it when he apologized to her.

But the guilt weighed so heavily on him that he couldn’t stop himself from sending a single message: “I'm

sorry.

Lily was just about to say goodnight to James when she saw his message: “I'm sorry.”

James again?

Lily sighed in helpless frustration.

She really didn’t want him to keep apologizing, so she quickly replied:

“James, seriously, you didn’t do anything to me. Oh, by the way-funny thing-I might be falling in love

soon!

Honestly, even with James setting her up on dates, there was no guarantee she'd like any of the men.

But people had to move forward.

She had to at least try.

And more importantly, she wanted to distract him from all that guilt. He was still her best friend, and she wanted

to share a little piece of her life with him.

James's fingers trembled. The phone nearly slipped from his hand.

He had always been calm and in control, rarely ever lost in emotion. Everything he said or did was calculated

and deliberate. But now, without thinking, he typed;

“With who? Your ex? A man who cheated on you isn’t worth your time. Don’t go back to him.”

Lily could feel the tension in his words.

Clearly, he was worried she might fall into the spit again and end up heartbroken over a scumbag-

The warmth in her chest grew,

She didn’t want him to worry, so she quickly replied:

“Of course it’s not my ex! What do you think | am, a trash can? | don’t go picking up garbage. It's someone my

family is settingup with. I'll probably start going on blind dates soon.”

She couldn't exactly tell James that he, her legal husband, was the one finding her dates. So “family” was

the safest excuse.

Grace had told James to treat her as his little sister from now on, so calling him “family” wasn’t really a lie.

Knowing she wasn’t crawling back to her ex made James breathe a little easier,

But the idea of her going on dates with other men still gnawed at him-tight and bitter..

| want to be with you.

But he still hadn't officially divorced Lily. His deeply ingrained sense of honor wouldn't allow him to confess his

feelings before that paper was signed.

Soon.

Tomorrow, he would have the divorce certificate in hand.

Then, and only then, could he confess to Leila openly.

Since he couldn't say what he really felt just yet, he had to find another way to keep her from dating anyone

else.

“Most guys on the dating market are trash. Leila, don’t go on any blind dates.”

Leila...

Lily blinked.

She hadn’t expected James to call her by that nso... intimately. Her face turned red instantly.

Staring at those two tenderly typed characters on the screen, her mind wandered back to earlier that night -

when he was disoriented, confused, and kept murmuring Leila.

James.

James.

Could it be... the “Leila “he called out-was hert

He's James?

Almost instantly, Lily dismissed the thought as ridiculous.

James was so busy-his days were packed end to end.

What kind of billionaire CEO spent all day chatting on Instagram?

She couldn't seriously be mixing up James, the man next to her, with James, the multibillionaire heartthrob...

Still, she knew dating was a mess these days. She'd seen plenty of stories on social media about girls getting

blindsided by awful men.

Back in the study, sitting by the window, James’s handsface darkened like storm clouds.

He knew that once she started dating, she would probably refer to him-her ex-husband-as “big brother”

100.

But right now, he absolutely hated that so-called big brother of hers.

Bringing in other men to steal his girl-how was he supposed to like him?

For the first tin his life, James desperately wished twould pass faster.

Faster. As fast as possible.

Let the next moment openly.

His fingers paused briefly over the screen. Face still dark, he typed:

“Don’t go on any blind dates tomorrow.”

“Of course not!”

On the luxurious, soft bed, Lily grinned as she tapped her response
