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.

“Both Ivan held up two fingers in front of his eyes.

“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.

You’re welcome,” Lewis responded naturally.

Then, in the next second, Ivan turned serious and analyzed. “Just because there are no feelings now doesn’t mean there never will be. Doris may have come from an ordinary background, but she was born with a mesmerizing face.

“Staring at that face every day–there’s no guarantee you won’t fall for her.”

“If not for Grandma liking her, I wouldn’t have spared her a glance, let alone married her.” Lewis was stubborn to the core.

“Him? She’s mine alone now.” Lewis let out a cold laugh.

Ivan was speechless.

Chris had been listening to their banter and only spoke once they were done, “If you don’t like her, why not just divorce her and set her free? Let the poor girl find her own happiness.”

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.
