Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 428

"I'm not going," said Lily.

The light in Xavier's eyes dimmed. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "You're not? What are you trying to do?"

Lily hesitated. She was utterly confused. How did she end up as the unreasonable one when she was the one who'd found out about Xavier's affair and had grounds to get a divorce?

"I'm not trying to do anything. Whatever it is, I'm not "

A frigid expression came across Xavier's face. He cut her off, saying, "I wasn't asking for your opinion. I was informing you."

Then, he sat back down by the tea table, opened his laptop, and continued working.

Lily didn't reply. Could she actually be considering getting together with Terence? Xavier clenched his well-defined hands into tight fists. The conversation between Terence and Lily earlier replayed in his mind.

So, the reason why Lily rejected Terence so firmly wasn't because she wanted to reconcile with Xavier himself after finding out that it was a misunderstanding between him and Sarah.

Rather, she was genuinely worried that she would cause Terence trouble. Was she thinking of getting this divorce completely settled before running to Terence's arms?

Frustratedly, Lily replied, "Xavier, could you be more reasonable?"

Xavier looked askance at her. Coldly, he questioned, "Who are you comparing me with?"

"I" Lily leapt to her feet. "That doesn't matter. You are the most unreasonable one of all!"
