The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 327 A Forced Performance

Henry shot James a nasty look.

Fake exactly. And she acts like she actually likes this Scott boy.

And this was all that punk’s fault!

Still, Henry knew deep down that if he didn’t give in, that brat would just find sother way to pressure Lily

into divorcing or set her up on more blind dates. So he didn’t say what he really thought-he just muttered tiredly,

“I'll think about it.”

“Lily, try this.”

Jackson could tell Henry was loosening up. He was thrilled, and to sell the act, he gently picked up sfood

with the serving utensil and placed it on Lily's plate, like a sweet and doting boyfriend.

Lily wanted to thank him.

But when the words reached her lips, she hesitated. Saying “thank you” would make them seem too formal and

distant-definitely not how a real couple would act.

So instead, she stayed quiet and picked up sfood for him in return.

“You are so good to me.”

She had randomly given him a piece of broccoli.

Jackson usually hated vegetables like broccoli and zucchini, but because it cfrom Lily, he savored every bite

like it was a once-in-a-lifetdelicacy.

It didn’t taste like broccoli anymore. It tasted like sextremely delicious food.

The way Jackson looked at her-his soft eyes, that gentle tone-he practically looked like he was trying to flirt.

Lily was so awkward her smile almost froze on her face.

His acting was just too good. She couldn't keep up with it. For a moment, she didn’t know how to keep playing

the affectionate girlfriend.

She glanced up uncomfortably-only to meet James's eyes.

| had thought that after holding Jackson’s hand like he wanted, James would be satisfied.

But no-his face looked even darker than before.

Was my performance not convincing enough? Did | mess up somewhere?

She discreetly touched the corners of her stiff smile.

Maybe it really did look forced when | held Jackson's hand earlier.

And | had only served him food once. That wasn’t enough. Real couples wouldn't stop at just one bite.

Worried she wasn’t selling the act well enough, she quickly added more food to Jackson's plate.

“Jackson, try this one. It’s really good.

And this one too. | think you'll love it.

Here, have swater.”

After piling food on his plate, she even handed him a glass of water, feeling like she was doing everything she

could to show affection.

Surely that would satisfy James.

But when she looked up again, James's expression was still bone-chilling.

His dark eyes were filled with a simmering anger, as if they were sworn enemies.

Lily realized he was still completely unsatisfied with her performance.

Then she noticed-his icy gaze was resting on her lips.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no. Don’t tell me... does he wantto kiss Jackson in front of his family?

Am | supposed to kiss Jackson? Right here?

Doing that would probably traumatize Jackson for life. How much money would | have to give him to make up for

that?

James had helpeda lot. He'd even saved my life before.

| knew | should do everything in my power to help him get divorced successfully.

But even if this was all an act; | couldnt bring myself to kiss someone | didn’t love.

So she pretended not to notice James's silent command and just kept putting more food on Jackson's plate.

James's cold aura only grew more intense.

Grace noticed her grandson's icy glare and how he was practically burning holes through Lily.

She realized what he was doing-trying to intimidate Lily again. Her expression turned frosty.

She shot him a fierce look and snapped, “Why do you keep scaring Lily? You want a divorce? Fine! | agree!

Go to the City Hall tomorrow and get it done!”

James froze slightly.

When did | ever scare Lily?

Chapter 327 A Forced Performance

I'm just annoyed by the way Jackson is sitting there like a smug little peacock. It’s disgusting.

And | don’t want to divorce her.

More and more. | don’t want to divorce her.

But I'm the one who brought it up in the first place.

And she really did seem to like Jackson.

The way she blushed and looked at him with those soft eyes-it was obvious.

So he clenched his jaw and answered, “Okay.”

Now that Grace had made her stance clear, Henry stopped pretending he had a say in the matter.

He was sick of watching James glare

at Lily like that anyway: hie@avel his

“Okay.”

Divorce...

James shut his eyes in pain. It took him a long moment before he could reply in a low, hollow voice.

Seeing him sulk like that made Henry even angrier.

That thought made Henry's chest tight with rage.

But since Lily and Jackson were still present, he held himself back.

He pressed a hand to his chest and tried his best to push away the image of James with sstrange man.

Focus. Just eat your damn dinner.
