Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 291

"The hospital," Lily answered instinctively.

Her response earned a mocking chuckle from Xavier. His gaze was intense as if stripping her down plece by piece.

"You don't even bother to come up with a lie anymore."

"It doesn't matter whether I bother or not. It has nothing to do with you."

She could easily tell he knew she had past had dinner with Terence. But where she went and who she had dinner with had nothing to do with him.

So, you put the label of cheating on me, and then you think you can go on and flirt with other men openly?" He walked over as he spoke, his steps slow and measured, his posture upright. As he approached, he gradually blocked the light from the streetlamp, casting a shadow over her.

you still haven't

Lily found his behavior puzzling. "First of all, I just had dinner with Terence, and your cheating is a fact. You said you'd investigate, but you an explanation."

haven't given me

"An explanation?" He suddenly laughed. "Listen carefully. I'll find evidence and give you a reasonable explanation, but until then, as Mrs. Fulton, you should stay quietly by my side!" With that, he was already standing right in front of her.

The suffocating tension hit her like a wave, making her instinctively want to step back, to escape him. However, Xavier's long, strong arms locked her in place, leaving her no room to move "Xavier, there is equality between husband and wife, especially while we await the divorce. You have no right to demand anything from me!"

"So what?" His gaze locked onto hers, his anger rising as he noticed her clear resistance. "I haven't gathered enough evidence yet, and you already have divorce set In your mind?" Lily's throat tightened. Yes, even if he showed her the evidence, she wouldn't believe it.

His relationship with Sarah had been a thom in her side, a wound that never healed. Even if he didn't cheat today, he treated Sarah so much better than be ever treated her.

Plus, he had never cared for her, not once. All these things had made it impossible for her to endure this marriage. So, she.....

"Why should I investigate then?" Xavier's smile was icy as he spoke, each word biting sharply. "If we both cheat, it proves we're meant to be together. Let's

continue."

Lily was stunned. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Shouldn't he want to divorce her even faster if he truly thought something was happening between her and Terence?

She couldn't accept betrayal or unfaithfulness from her partner. How could Xavier-no, he wouldn't accept it. He was just trying to cover up

up his relationship with Sarah with this pretense.

"I won't accept this. I'll file for divorce!"

He tightened his grip on her delicate arm. Even though she wore a thick down jacket, his grip was firm enough to encircle her arm completely. How could she fight against him in terms of strength or others?

"Fine. I'll wait for it," he said indifferently, completely dismissing ber.

Lily's heart ached. His unreasonable behavior was nothing more than him assuming she could not fight back. And she didn't-she really had no power!

Which lawyer in Jadeford would dare take her divorce case? Even if one did, the lawyer's fees for such a high-profile divorce would be astronomical-at least six figures, maybe even millions.

Her eyes filled with tears, her voice breaking "Xavier, you jerk!"

Before coming here, Xavier had made up his mind. He wasn't going to let the marriage go. I home. He had lost all rationality

gego. He was going to fight it

to fight it out with her. Today, he intended to bring her

However, his heart suddenly hurt when he saw her on the verge of tears. His grip on her loosened slightly, and for a moment, he even felt the impulse to wipe away the tears that were beginning to gather at the comer of her eyes.
