The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Find Her a Dream Guy

“But I haven’t agreed to let you and Lily divorce just yet. Henry shot James an annoyed glare and continued. “Didn’t you introduce Lily to someone before?”

“From now on, you’re Lily’s big brother. If you want me to agree to this divorce, you’ll need to find her a young man who meets her standards–and ours!”

Henry had seen the way Simon defended Elsa and absolutely didn’t want his eldest grandson setting Lily up with Simon again.

In his eyes, someone like Simon–half–blind to the difference between decent women and trash wasn’t worthy of Lily

Still, with Dennis, Zoey, and Jamie all present. he couldn’t just name Simon outright. So instead, he said, “Anyway, no shady types, no cheaters, no soft–headed pushovers, and definitely no one who can’t tell right from wrong. When Lily finds a guy she really likes and he’s a solid young man, I’ll agree to the divorce.”

For some reason, James didn’t feel too keen on helping Lily find some “ideal young man.”

But then he remembered she already had a fiance she truly connected with. So he replied coolly, “Okay.”

“Good. When Lily finds someone she’s into, you’ll have dinner with him. Help us feel him out. Ideally, bring him home for a meal so we can all take a look. Make sure he’s really right for her. In short, as her brother, it’s your duty to make sure Lily never gets hurt.”

The more Henry looked at James‘ flat expression and deadpan tone, the more irritated he felt. After warning him a few more times, he waved him off–told him to go wherever he’d be least annoying.

After the birthday banquet, Lily rode home in James car.

There was no one else in the vehicle. Almost the moment she sat down, she heard James ask coldly, “When’s your old classmate free? Let me know when he is–I’ll have dinner with him.”

Since he’d promised Grandpa he’d look after Lily like a real brother, he was going to take that role seriously–he’d make sure she never got burned by another jerk.

“Huh?”

Lily hadn’t expected James to suddenly ask about her completely made–up old classmate. She was so startled, she nearly jumped.

Before she could recover, James added, “It’s not convenient?”

“No, no, nol

There was no w

way she could say it wasn’t convenient.

After all, Henry had already made it clear–not only did James need to help vet the man, but the man would also have to come to the Luke family home for dinner.

She had to come up with someone,

Chapter 278 Find Her a Dream Guy

First thing tomorrow, she’d hire a decent college student to pretend to be her fiance. No matter what, she had to help James regain his freedom.

With her plan in mind, she quickly said, “It’s just, he has a bit of social anxiety. I’m afraid having dinner with you might make him uncomfortable.”

She’s worried her fiance might feel uncomfortable… She really liked this man. James felt a sharp sting in his chest, as if something had pricked him–and a heavy pressure settled there. The feeling bothered him more than he cared to admit.

Just as he was about to shove that strange emotion aside, he heard her add, “Let me talk to him about it first. Once he agrees, we can set a date, does that work?”

James wasn’t in any rush. After all, there were still nearly two weeks left in the one–month cooling–off period for their divorce. He could wait

“Alright.”

He gave a brief, indifferent reply, then fell silent and focused on driving.

Now that Henry and the other elders had accepted the idea of a divorce, there was no way they’d make Lily and James continue sharing a room. Back in her younger years, Nancy had desperately wanted a daughter of her own.

After giving birth to two sons in a row, she’d been at her wits end. A master once told her that preparing a little girl’s room in advance might help. So she had the biggest, brightest room on the second floor renovated into a princess–themed bedroom.
