The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 359 Not Gonna Hug You Again

That trembling red lured him in; that dazzling white pulled him under. He knew he couldn't act like slecher,

couldn't be reckless or violate her boundaries-but his overwhelming desire for her had already beca

monster.

His sanity was gone; he couldn't control himself anymore.

Before she could move toward him, he leaned in and pulled her tightly into his arms.

His lips, burning with the heat to scorch everything, pressed down on hers with force and possession. Inch by

inch, he explored; inch by inch, he tasted; inch by inch, he claimed-wishing they could be born of the sstem

and remain entangled for eternity.

“James, your symptoms...”

Were they acting up again? Lily startled by his sudden move.

as

She was genuinely worried about his condition, but the rest of her words were completely devoured by his

intensity. She couldn't get her voice back; all she could do was let his kiss melt away both her lips and her

reason.

Drifting in and out of sense, she knew-they were about to get divorced. She couldn't take advantage of him

while he was having an episode. Even if the divorce was pushed back a week, they were destined to go their

separate ways.

But she really didn’t want to let him go. She liked him.

So even though she knew it was wrong to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state, she didn’t try to pull

away. She let him transfer that heat-inch by inch-onto her.

“Lily...”

Lily’s mind was burning, too.

Just when she thought she was about to completely melt, she heard his voice-shaky, laced with tremor- say,

“Can we not get divorced? | don’t want to divorce you.”

Lily froze, stunned. She hadn't expected him to say that he didn’t want to get divorced.

But deep down, she knew. He could only accept men. If he was saying this, it wasn’t because he had feelings for

her as a woman, it was because they'd been physically close more than once. His strong sense of morality and

responsibility urged him to do right by her.

She truly cherished the warmth of the Luke family. If this were like

beginning, back when she hadn't

yet developed feelings for him, and he still wanted to stay married, she would've gladly gone along with it.

But now, she had fallen for him.

And once the heart gets involved, so does greed.

There would be hate, there would be jealousy; she’d lose all rationality.

She knew he didn’t want children. From his perspective, her getting pregnant was nothing but trouble If he

wanted to get rid of the baby, it wouldn't be wrong. But if, after finding out she was pregnant, he really forced

someone to take the child from her, she would hate him for it..

Watching him be affectionate with other men would fill her with jealousy. She feared what jealousy might do to

her-make her unhinged, hysterical, turn her into someone even she couldn't stand.

Backing into the corner of the room to put sdistance between them, she still spoke in a quiet voice. “Didn’t

we agree to get the divorce next Friday? James, | really hope we go through with it

Afraid he'd insist on taking responsibility again, she quickly added, “I know the kisses before, and tonight, were

because of the aftereffects of whatever Wesley drugged you with. | won't take it to heart, and you don’t have to

feel pressured. You don’t need to be responsible for me. Grandpa's already approved the divorce. We shouldn't

go back on our word.”

forced himself to suppress the urge.

Still, he didn’t agree to the divorce outright; he only said coldly, “We'll talk about the divorce next Friday. I'm

taking a shower.”

Right-didn’t he already shower earlier? Why is he showering again? Is it because he hugged and kissed me, and

now he can’t stand my scent on him, so he has to wash it off?

If that were the case, she had even less to worry about. As long as she stood firm and didn’t let him take

responsibility, he'd definitely be eager to finalize the divorce.

After rinsing off in cold water, James didn’t cout of the bathroom right away.

Once he changed into his sleepwear, he picked up the phone nearby and opened an Al app, typing in a single

question: “How can a male homewrecker steal someone else’s partner?”

He'd heard Al was pretty powerful now. He thought that once he asked, the software would give him sclever

strategies.

Instead, the reply he got was-
