The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 290 Worse Than a Beast.

But even with her back turned to him, he still found himself stirred.

He couldn't keep lying to himself.

The reason he wanted to kiss her, to lose control again and again with her, wasn't just because she looked like

Leila.

It was because he was a tickle, unfaithful bastard who had let two people into his heart.

He despised himself for being so filthy. He told himself over and over again that he couldn't be this shameless.

But whenever he was in front of Leila or Lily, he simply couldn’t control the wild pounding in his chest.

James?

When he heard Lily call him again, he forcibly smothered his racing heartbeat and gave a flat “Yeah.”

After a beat, he added coldly, “I'll treat the wound real quick.”

Hearing that he was going to treat her injury, Lily tensed up a little..

He wasn’t a trained doctor, and her whole body already hurt like hell. She was afraid it might get worse if he

touched her.

She wanted to ask him to be gentle.

But saying something like that felt a little too much like flirting, so she wisely decided to keep her mouth.

shut

Back when Wendy had someone ram her car on purpose, James had helped apply ointment while she was in the

hospital.

It hadn't hurt too badly.

She told herself not to be scared.

Since Lily wasn’t speaking, James didn’t waste words either.

After disinfecting the wound, he carefully applied ointment across the scraped area.

As he worked, the pads of his fingers accidentally brushed the smooth skin beside the injury, sending a through

his whole body like he'd been shocked.

He almost couldn't stop himself from lifting her up and kissing her without restraint.

But he couldn't cross that line again.

Last night, he’d already acted like an animal, ignoring her tears and forcing himself on her again and

again

Chapter 290 Worse Than a Beast

It wasn’t until near dawn that he finally let her go.

No

He wasn’t even fit to be compared to an animal.

No animal would torment someone like that all night long.

Someone like him didn’t deserve to be compared to any creature alive-there was no man or beast more

disgusting than he was

Because he was worried about hurting her, he moved slowly as he applied the ointment.

Lily lay on the couch, feeling awkward as hell, and couldn’t help but shift slightly.

But the silky blanket slipped downward with the movement

It was like a sudden snowfall-her flawless skin blazed into view, a vast stretch of dazzling white.

Her waist-to-hip rawas jaw-dropping.

Utterly mesmerizing.

Last night, he had gripped that narrow waist....

And now, he wanted to again.....

James forced himself to look away, quickly finishing he ointment before yanking his gaze back.

He gently pulled the blanket back up to her waist, then hurried to his feet, putting distance between them. “Lily,

just rest here on the couch for a bit.

He glanced at her clothes strewn across the floor and added, “I'll have someone bring over a change of clothes.

Once you're dressed, I'll take you to the theater.”

“That's not necessary.”

Lily had driven herself over last night.

She was about to say it was no trouble-she could drive herself to the theater later.

But he must have been desperate to avoid staying in the sroom with her, because before she could even

finish, he'd already left the master bedroom with that chilly, keep-your-distante attitude of his,

She didn’t really want to trouble him to bring clothes for her either.

Sull

Lily looked at the mess of garments on the floor and decided to just stay put on the couch and wait. Her coat was

still intact.

But everything underneath it was completely ruined.

She couldn't bring herself to wear any of it.

And last night....

She couldn't even bring herself to think about it.

She could only pretend like nothing had happened, just like Henry and the others had said-treat James like a big

brother and move on....

James went straight to the bathroom in the adjacent room and took a cold shower.

Icy water poured down on him, offering a fleeting moment of clarity, but it couldnt douse the fire burning in his

chest.

The cold shower didn’t help.

James stopped wasting water.

After drying off and dressing, he clenched his phone in his hand.

He couldn’t imagine there was anyone in the world more vile than he was.

He instinctively wanted to send Leila a message to say sorry.
