Chapter 115

Doris eyes widened in shock, and her brows gradually furrowed.

Lewis recounted how he had seen Matteo at the hospital the previous day. “I also found out that the woman is pregnant.”

Doris let out a cold laugh. “No wonder he hasn’t called my sister or asked about Ari since we took her away.

“His family never liked girls, so it’s normal for them not to care. It’s good that my sister is clear–headed and has no intention of going back.

“Since his mistress is already pregnant, I hope he doesn’t try to fight for Ari during the divorce.

“If Ari stays with them, she won’t be valued and will only be neglected and mistreated.”

“I’ll do my best to gather evidence of his affair and give it to Ivan, so Laura can have the upper hand in the divorce and get custody of Ari.” Lewis was confident in his methods.

“Thank you,” Doris trusted him and smiled.

“Is your thank you just words?” Lewis bent down, his eyes level with hers.

Doris looked at his handsome face so close to hers, his high cheekbones and deep eyes like a galaxy.

She pursed her lips. “What do you want?”

“Anything is fine.” Lewis raised an eyebrow indifferently.

“You said it.” Doris blinked her beautiful eyes twice. “You have to keep your word, or you’re a dog.”

“Fine,” He agreed readily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Doris suddenly kissed his cheek, a quick peck before she flitted away.

“My mom has surgery tomorrow, so I need to rest early. Goodnight, Mr. Hartman.”

Lewis watched as she rushed into her room and quickly closed the door.

The soft touch of her lips still lingered on his cheek.

He raised his hand and rubbed the spot where she had kissed him with his thumb. This time, it was just a kiss on the cheek, not the lips, but it gave him a different feeling.

Doris went to the hospital early the next morning, leaving a note for Lewis.
