Chapter 128

Doris laughed when she heard that. Her eyes sparkled mischievously. “Mr. Hartman, are yous jeder

“Besides not liking sweet things, I don’t like sour ones either‘ Lewis expression was full of smug arrogance

“Oh.” Doris acted as if she’d just realized something. “Since you are not jealous, then hurry up and sell me?

Lewis pulled the corners of his lips into a faint smirk, his tone indifferent. “Doris, we might not be a loving couple, but I’m still your husband in name.”

“You’re sitting right in front of me, grilling me about another man’s preferences–who, by the way, happens to be my friend Don’t you think that’s a little inappropriate?

“Do you even know what I like to eat and what I don’t? Do you know my height and weight? My favorite sport My favorite color? Do you even know who my family members are… Do you know anything about me?

Doris‘ big eyes were filled with pure shock.

She’d never told him any of this, she wondered how he knew it all this clear.

“If you pay even a little attention, you can figure these things out just from spending time together.” Lewis answered the unspoken question in her mind. “Doris, have you ever actually seen me as your husband?

“Or do you think I’m just a husband in name only, so there’s no need to waste your energy on me?”

Doris suddenly felt a little ashamed. Compared to Lewis, she really was an unqualified “wife in name only.

“No, that’s not it.” Doris shook her head. “I just never paid attention. But I do know you like light food and enjoy exercising. You’re tall and a ridiculously handsome guy with long legs.”

She showered Lewis with praise, secretly watching his expression. But Lewis remained expressionless, completely unfazed by the flattery.

Doris sat up straight and asked seriously, “Mr. Hartman, what’s your favorite food? Your favorite color? Your favorite flower? Your favorite…”

“You’re asking now? That’s not very sincere.” Lewis refused to answer.

Doris‘ eyes widened.
