“I didn’t do it on purpose. I used to sleep just fine–no tossing or turning. I don’t know what happened last night, but I must’ve kicked the blanket off in my sleep. Don’t worry. For the next six months, before we divorce, I’ll be more careful. I won’t offend you again.”

“Mm.”

James found her attitude acceptable enough.

There were two copies of the agreement.

With a cold nod, he set them both in front of her.

It was only then that Lily noticed–he wasn’t in a wheelchair.

He was standing in front of her.

She’d already gotten the impression that he was tall when she wiped him down last night, but now that he was upright, he felt even taller–must be close to six–foot–three.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs. He looked like he was carved from raw male power. “Walking testosterone” wouldn’t have been an exaggeration.

She didn’t mean anything by it. It was just admiration for a good–looking man. Everyone liked to look at handsome guys. When she scrolled short videos and came across shirtless influencers with six–packs, she’d pause and look a little longer, too.

But she didn’t want to accidentally offend him again, so she didn’t stare. Instead, she focused on the agreement he’d handed her.

The agreement said that in six months, they would get divorced. If she refused, he would pursue legal action.

Until then, she wasn’t allowed to kiss him, touch him, or have any physical contact whatsoever.

She couldn’t tell anyone about their relationship.

If she wanted to date other men, keep a lover, or even get pregnant before the divorce–that was her business.

Likewise, she had no right to interfere in his private life. Apart from this marriage certificate–one he clearly didn’t even acknowledge–they had no ties.
