Doris lowered her long lashes, trying to hide the panic in her eyes,

She thought, ‘If he found out that the “person” I like is actually Lola, would he be angry? Would he think I am deceiving him?‘

But that was exactly what she had done–she had lied to him, using it as an excuse to get him to divorce her.

She hesitated, debating whether to tell him the truth.

Opening her mouth, she hesitated again before saying, “I… actually…

“It’s fine. I don’t mind that you like him.” Lewis‘ deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear.

Doris‘ lips twitched into a bitter smile. She thought, ‘Uh… okay, this misunderstanding has really snowballed.

Lewis stood up, walked to the corner, picked up a bouquet of flowers he had bought, and handed them to Doris. “For you.”

Doris‘ eyes lit up when she saw they were sunflowers–her favorite. “How did you know I like sunflowers?”

She was sure she had never told him.

“I guessed.” Lewis‘ expression seemed to scream: [I’m just that smart.]

“Thank you.” Doris held the bouquet, her fingers brushing against the soft petals.

Doris went confused. Still, she obediently closed her eyes, feeling a bit excited.

“One, two, three–open them now.” His deep, pleasant voice wrapped around her like silk.

Doris opened her eyes, and his strikingly handsome face was right in front of hers, hitting her with a visual shock.

She pressed herself against the back of the couch, trying to create some distance–but it was useless.

He stretched out a closed fist in front of her.

Then, he slowly opened it, revealing a small, shining object that reflected the cold gleam of metal.
