Chapter 88

“A wife in name only, with no real feelings involved, Lewis said indifferently.

“Tak, that’s a pretty cruel thing to say,” Ivan dramatically pressed a hand to his heart, his face full of exaggerated emotion

Lewis looked at his over–the–top performance in silence. “Being a lawyer is a waste of your talent. You should consider acting -winning Best Actor would be a piece of cake

Ivan exposed Lewis pretense. “When Doris got into that car accident last time, who was the one who panicked like crazy?

“Which eye of yours saw me panic?” Lewis lied without blinking.

“Then you should go see an ophthalmologist,” Lewis said seriously. ‘I can have Danis book you an appointment at the hospital.”

“Oh, thanks so much,” Ivan replied sarcastically.

He had brought up this topic before when he sensed something was off with Lewis. But back then, Lewis hadn’t responded- he had simply hung up the phone.

“A year later, we’ll go our separate ways.” Lewis took a sip of coffee.

“A year? That’s blocking a whole year’s worth of suitors for her. Be careful–karma might bite back,” Chris said, watching him with interest.
