The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 278 Find Her a Dream Guy

“But | haven't agreed to let you and Lily divorce just yet. Henry shot James an annoyed glare and continued.

“Didn’t you introduce Lily to someone before?”

“From now on, you're Lily's big brother. If you wantto agree to this divorce, you'll need to find her a young

man who meets her standards-and ours!”

Henry had seen the way Simon defended Elsa and absolutely didn’t want his eldest grandson setting Lily up with

Simon again.

In his eyes, someone like Simon-half-blind to the difference between decent women and trash wasn’t worthy of

Lily

Still, with Dennis, Zoey, and Jamie all present. he couldn’t just nSimon outright. So instead, he said,

“Anyway, no shady types, no cheaters, no soft-headed pushovers, and definitely no one who can’t tell right from

wrong. When Lily finds a guy she really likes and he’s a solid young man, I'll agree to the divorce.”

For sreason, James didn’t feel too keen on helping Lily find s“ideal young man.”

But then he remembered she already had a fiance she truly connected with. So he replied coolly, “Okay.”

“Good. When Lily finds someone she’s into, you'll have dinner with him. Help us feel him out. Ideally, bring him

hfor a meal so we can all take a look. Make sure he’s really right for her. In short, as her brother, it's your

duty to make sure Lily never gets hurt.”

The more Henry looked at James’ flat expression and deadpan tone, the more irritated he felt. After warning him

a few more times, he waved him off-told him to go wherever he'd be least annoying.

After the birthday banquet, Lily rode hin James car.

There was no one else in the vehicle. Almost the moment she sat down, she heard James ask coldly, “When's

your old classmate free? Letknow when he is-I'll have dinner with him.”

Since he'd promised Grandpa he’d look after Lily like a real brother, he was going to take that role seriously-he’d

make sure she never got burned by another jerk.

“Huh?”

Lily hadn't expected James to suddenly ask about her completely made-up old classmate. She was so startled,

she nearly jumped.

Before she could recover, James added, “It's not convenient?”

“No, no, nol

There was no w

way she could say it wasn’t convenient.

After all, Henry had already made it clear-not only did James need to help vet the man, but the man would also

have to cto the Luke family hfor dinner.

First thing tomorrow, she'd hire a decent college student to pretend to be her fiance. No matter what, she had to

help James regain his freedom.

With her plan in mind, she quickly said, “It’s just, he has a bit of social anxiety. I'm afraid having dinner with you

might make him uncomfortable.”

She’s worried her fiance might feel uncomfortable... She really liked this man. James felt a sharp sting in his

chest, as if something had pricked him-and a heavy pressure settled there. The feeling bothered him more than

he cared to admit.

Just as he was about to shove that strange emotion aside, he heard her add, “Lettalk to him about it first.

Once he agrees, we can set a date, does that work?”

James wasn’t in any rush. After all, there were still nearly two weeks left in the one-month cooling-off period for

their divorce. He could wait

“Alright.”

He gave a brief, indifferent reply, then fell silent and focused on driving.

Now that Henry and the other elders had accepted the idea of a divorce, there was no way they’d make Lily and

James continue sharing a room. Back in her younger years, Nancy had desperately wanted a daughter of her

own.

It had been vacant for years, kept spotless by the daily housekeeping staff-now it was the perfect place for Lily

to move into.

Grace and Nancy had long heard from the maids that most of James’ belongings were kept in his study; the

Still, it was for the best. With no romantic entanglements between them, they could be siblings without

awkwardness. Nancy did feel a little disappointed to lose such a wonderful daughter-in-law.

But gaining a thoughtful daughter and one day a son-in-law wasn’t so bad either.

Lily quickly realized that since moving into the Luke residence, she suddenly had so many things.

Back when she left John’s residence, everything she owned hadn’t even filled a single suitcase.
