The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 328 No Turning Back

After the dinner, Jackson was going to leave.

“Mr. Henry, Madam Grace, Mr. Blanc, Madam Nancy, I’m going to walk Jackson out.” Lily said.

Jackson’s car was parked right outside the main house.

$10 FOR CARIC

Technically, he could’ve just driven off after dinner–there was no real need for me to walk him out. But after everything that happened tonight, and since I needed to talk about money, it was better to speak face-to-face,

So she got in his car.

During dinner, Henry had been fuming. He’d planned to give his grandson a harsh lecture once Jackson left, to make sure James never dared to bully or pressure Lily again.

But now, facing the reality that he might have to accept a male grandson-in-law for life, he was so mentally defeated that he didn’t even have the strength to scold anyone. As he watched Jackson’s car disappear into the distance, he pressed a hand to his chest and silently headed upstairs with Grace.

“James, Lily is a good girl. Now that you’re divorcing her, make sure she gets enough compensation. She shouldn’t walk away with nothing.”

Nancy was exhausted-mentally and physically. She didn’t want to argue anymore. Seeing her son nod silently, she followed her husband back to their room.

“So that’s it? Lily’s just leaving with Jackson? James, are you seriously letting her go?”

Ivan, completely clueless when it came to love, didn’t realize Lily didn’t actually have feelings for Jackson.

He was pacing in circles, looking like he wanted to tie James down until he changed his mind and chased Lily back.

But then he remembered-James was into guys! No matter how amazing a girl was, it wouldn’t change anything.

He let out a deep sigh and dragged his feet upstairs, full of helpless frustration…

“Jackson, maybe we should get out and talk.”

Lily didn’t feel comfortable staying inside a car with someone she barely knew. Once they drove out of the Luke estate, she asked him to pull over. They stepped out to talk about money.

“How’d I do tonight?” Jackson asked with a hopeful smile.

“You did great.”

the unexpected stuff really well. Don’t worry, you were so good
