The truth was, in situations like this, the one who suffered wasn’t always the woman.

James was so ridiculously good–looking, with a flawless figure to match. Even with his condition, if someone like him were put in a high–end club, no one would get to touch or kiss him without paying at least a million bucks.

Men, too, needed to protect themselves out in the world.

Just thinking about what she’d done to him last night–there were probably dozens of rich women who’d envy her. So no, she didn’t feel like she’d taken advantage of him.

Seeing him staring at her coldly, clearly waiting for her to call the police, Lily quickly came back to her senses and said, “No need to call the police. I know you didn’t mean to do anything last night. You… you must’ve mistaken me for someone else. I know you really hate me and don’t want to have any physical contact with me. But last night, because I tried to give you some candy, we ended up… touching. I’m sure that’s something hard for you to accept. Honestly, you were the one who suffered last night. I’m definitely not going to call the police.”

He hated her?

James frowned slightly.

He didn’t feel any strong like or dislike toward her.

He was set on getting a divorce, and he avoided physical contact–not because of her specifically.

He was simply devoted to someone else and didn’t want to get entangled with any other woman.

As for last night….

James closed his eyes, shame and self–loathing/washing over him again.

Maybe it was the alcohol, but the way he had kissed her, held her–none of it had felt repulsive or wrong.

Instead, he hadn’t been able to stop himself. He’d wanted more,

He was exactly the kind of man he despised–shameless, unfaithful scum who couldn’t even control his impulses.

He was disgusting. Utterly pathetic.

“Lily, once we get the divorce certificate, I’ll compensate you with a villa in the city center.”

She hadn’t called the police out of respect for their elders. But just because she didn’t, didn’t mean he could pretend what he did was acceptable.

He needed to make it right in another way.

After a pause, he added, “If you have time today, I can transfer the ownership of the villa to your name.” Lily was stunned.

Chapter 177 I Don’t Mind

Clearly, he meant to use the villa as compensation.

A villa in the city center would easily be worth hundreds of millions.

Even though she was the one who had taken advantage of him last night, he still wanted to compensate

her…

Truly, the Luke family’s values were terrifyingly upright. Just because she was a woman, even though he was deeply repulsed by touching her, he still felt responsible and wanted to make it up to her.

He’d had his assistant transfer her a hundred million this morning, and she hadn’t returned it yet. There was no way she could accept something as massive as a villa.

She shifted slightly and hurried to say, “James, really, you don’t need to give me a villa. I… I have plenty of money. I can buy a place myself.”

She had already been looking at properties.

Once they got divorced, she definitely planned to move out of the Luke family estate.

She didn’t want to keep staying in hotels. She wanted a comfortable apartment, a place she could call her

own.

“Alright.”

James was never one to waste words. He didn’t argue with her.

Either way, he’d just have his lawyer add the villa transfer into the divorce agreement.

She and her old classmate had been getting along well lately. They’d probably end up getting married and having kids. That villa could be his wedding gift to her.

To avoid any further inappropriate contact between them, he thought for a moment and said coldly, “Lily, you and I still have to live under the same roof for a while. If I get drunk again, or if I’m not feeling well, don’t worry about me. The farther you stay from me, the better. Until our divorce is made public, I don’t want any more physical contact between us.”

In other words, he’d rather pass out drunk or suffer alone than have her come near him.

Clearly, her decision to give him hangover candy last night had really ticked him off.

Lily wanted to reassure him and quickly promised, “I’ll be more careful from now on. I won’t come near you again. I’ll also try to find the right person soon, so Grandpa and Grandma will agree to the divorce. Then you’ll be free”

“Alright.”

James also wanted them both to regain their freedom as soon as possible and live their own lives. He said nothing more, just responded with a cold nod and walked back to his study.

Finally spared from another one of his warnings, Lily let out a soft breath of relief.

But then, a dull ache grew in her chest.
