The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 254 This Is Totally a Wedding Gift

To put his mind at ease completely, she decided to strike where it hurt.

“I don’t have any inappropriate feelings for you either. | like normal men. You don’t have that ability, so |

definitely won't be clinging to you!”

James frowned; his temples nearly exploded. Not capabler What the heck was she talking about?

But then he remembered-he had told her that nonsense once, just to avoid unnecessary trouble.

For a pair of contract spouses without love and destined for divorce, this kind of misunderstanding worked just

fine. He certainly had no intention of clearing it up.

He responded coolly, then thought it over and decided to offer her sform of compensation. Even though

what had happened tonight wasn’t intentional, she was still a woman, and she’d suffered quite a bit. He couldn't

shamelessly pretend nothing had happened.

“Lily, after we finalize the divorce, I'll give you a million as compensation. Of course, what | said before still

stands-the villa, and a few sets of jewelry, all of it is still yours. | also own several buildings. After the divorce, I'll

transfer the one in the city center to you.”

A million? A building? An entire building! Not a condo, not a unit, but a whole damn building! Wasn't that way too

much? Lily's eyes widened in shock.

Sure, he had acted a little wild just now-but to be honest, she hadn't really lost anything.

With a body and face like his, trying to hire a male model like that at a club-even if she threw money around-

would be nearly impossible. And truthfully, it hadn't all been on him.

She had lost control and responded to him too.

And that self-loathing in his eyes just now-it hadn't been fake.

It was obvious their physical contact had truly disgusted him.

That moment of skin against skin must've felt like torture for him.

There was no way she could shamelessly accept all those things front him.

“James, | didn’t mean to touch you like that tonight. | know you didn’t do it on purpose either. That half million

you had transferred tobefore... it’s already enough to lastmost of my life. You really don’t need to

compensateanymore. Don’t worry, | didn’t feel a thing. I've already forgotten what happened, and you

should too.”

Didn't feel a thing. For sreason, James felt a strange tightness in his chest.

They hadn't crossed the final line, that was true. But his body couldn't have been completely unresponsive. Still,

whatever. It didn’t matter

JIt didn’t matter.

“Aren’t you getting married soon?”

With a cold expression and a wave of chilly indifference, James added, “Consider all this a wedding gift

from me.”

Lily honestly didn’t think she'd be getting married anytin the next ten years-maybe not even in the

next twenty.

After divorcing James, all she wanted was to move to a quiet little town, surrounded by green mountains and

clear water, and live a peaceful life.

But she’d already convinced him she had an old classmate she was in love with. She was worried that if she told

the truth now, he’d think she was trying to cling to him again.

So she gave a small nod. “Yeah.. the wedding’s coming up.”

He'd already said so much; it felt wrong to keep refusing him.

“When you get married and have kids, I'll send you a gift too,” she said.

Worst case scenario, she could just return the money, the house, the jewelry-give it all back as a wedding gift.

But the moment the words left her mouth, she realized they were a bit... cutting.

He looked so good. Surely after their divorce, he’d have no problem finding someone else.

But he didn’t have the ability to father children.

They were both incapable of bearing children; ‘why make things harder on each other?

Lily regretted it immediately. Embarrassed, she wished she could bite off her own tongue. She rushed to make up

for it.

“Sorry. | didn’t mean to bring up something that hurts.”

“Your condition. maybe it can't be

James furrowed his brows slightly.

There was nothing wrong with him. He didn’t need treatment. But his grandfather? Definitely couldn't

count on him.

James only ever wanted Leila.

Losing her meant he’d never marry-let alone give his grandfather a great-grandchild.

But there was no need to explain all that to Lily,

After all, what proud man could accept something like that? Lily wanted to comfort him.

But this topic was too sensitive. Even words meant to comfort would only stab at the wound.
