The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 327 A Forced Performance

Henry shot James a nasty look.

Fake exactly. And she acts like she actually likes this Scott boy.

And this was all that punk’s fault!

Still, Henry knew deep down that if he didn’t give in, that brat would just find some other way to pressure Lily into divorcing or set her up on more blind dates. So he didn’t say what he really thought-he just muttered tiredly, “I’ll think about it.”

“Lily, try this.”

Jackson could tell Henry was loosening up. He was thrilled, and to sell the act, he gently picked up some food with the serving utensil and placed it on Lily’s plate, like a sweet and doting boyfriend.

Lily wanted to thank him.

But when the words reached her lips, she hesitated. Saying “thank you” would make them seem too formal and distant-definitely not how a real couple would act.

So instead, she stayed quiet and picked up some food for him in return.

“You are so good to me.”

She had randomly given him a piece of broccoli.

Jackson usually hated vegetables like broccoli and zucchini, but because it came from Lily, he savored every bite like it was a once-in-a-lifetime delicacy.

It didn’t taste like broccoli anymore. It tasted like some extremely delicious food.

The way Jackson looked at her-his soft eyes, that gentle tone-he practically looked like he was trying to flirt.

Lily was so awkward her smile almost froze on her face.

His acting was just too good. She couldn’t keep up with it. For a moment, she didn’t know how to keep playing the affectionate girlfriend.

She glanced up uncomfortably-only to meet James’s eyes.

I had thought that after holding Jackson’s hand like he wanted, James would be satisfied.
