The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 259 Nothing Gross

Sull, James didn’t want to see Lily worried, so he went to the hospital. All his vitals looked good, aside from. a

mild fever and a light concussion, there was nothing serious. No need for treatment, he just had to rest for a few

days

Once it was confirmed that James hadn't suffered internal injuries or any damage to his brain, the tension Lily

had carried in her chest finally cased completely.

By the tthey returned to the Luke family estate, the sky had already begun to lighten.

After a long, exhausting night, Lily was dead tired.

She still had rehearsal in the afternoon. She was just about to take a hot shower and crawl into bed to recharge

for the high-intensity session ahead when she heard James’ cool, distant voice, “Lily, did you see Simon naked?”

“Huh?”

Lily froze. What kind of normal person would want to look at his weird body?

Her tastes were not that questionable.

For sreason, she really didn’t want James thinking she was the kind of woman who preyed on others.

-especially not someone like Simon. She hurried to explain.

But before she could even get the words out, he said. “You kissed Simon?”

Lily's peach blossom eyes widened in disbelief.

She felt like she might just die from the injustice. Am | insane? Why on earth would she kiss someone like Simon?

She'd rather kiss an animal than kiss him.

James’ cold voice kept going.

“Simon has done sterrible things to you because of his bias toward Elsa, He's not the right man for you. But

if you do have feelings for him, | won't stop you from being with him.”

“If you and he really want to be together, Ill make sure he understands-he’s never allowed to hurt you again

because of Elsa. The Luke family will always be your home. If he ever betrays you or treats you badly, I. Victor,

and Ivan will all make sure he pays for it. So tellhow do you feel about him? Do you want to be with that old

classmate of yours, or do you still want to keep going on blind dates with Simon?”

“I don’t want to go on blind dates with that weirdo Simon!” Lily blurted, afraid James would make her have

another dinner with him.

Then she remembered Simon was his blood cousin-and had once been James’ carefully chosen match for her.

Calling him a weirdo might sound like she was questioning James' judgment. After a brief pause, she decided to

at least acknowledge his good intentions.

“James, | don’t blyou for settingup with Simon. I know you introducedto him for my own good. He's

one of those young, talented guys you handpicked. But I really don’t get along with him. In fact,

Seeing James nod. Lily let out an incredulous laugh-actually amused by that weirdo’s nonsen

James had already doubted Lily would ever sneak around just to catch a glimpse of Simon; after hearing her

explanation, he felt even more certain Simon didn’t deserve her.

“Ha! And the kiss...”

The day after their divorce, she’d be marrying that old classmate of hers...

James hated how disobedient his own heart was. He shut his eyes in pain and self-loathing. After a long silence,

he said in a cold, distant voice, “Yeah. We'll both be just fine.”
