The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 436 The Truth Between Us

* Free Colo

James knew Lily’s heart belonged to Jackson. The fact that he still coveted her, still ler his thoughts stray toward her, was despicable enough to make her feel sick.

But he wasn’t a coward who would pretend otherwise. Since she had already seen through the filth in his heart, he wouldn’t deny it.

Ears burning, eyes still shut, he spoke the truth. “Lily, I like you.”

“Last night I… I was drunk, burning up with fever, and I crossed the line. !

“It wasn’t crossing the line. I wanted it too.”

James’s eyes flew open.
