The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439 Complete Misunderstanding

James cleared his throat in olwious discomfort, turning his face aside as he sipped his soup, the faint blush still coloring his handsome features.

Lily noticed the redness immediately.

She hadn’t expected that the man who usually seemed so aloof and untouchable could blush so easily. The sight made her smile even wider, like a little fox who’d just stolen something sweet.

She was just about to tease him again when a more serious thought struck her

Back when she’d stayed in his room at the Lu house, he had wet the bed more than unce

At the time, he’d claimed he wasn’t capable as a man, but that was obviously nonsense. She had more than enough proof that not only was he capable–he was exceptionally so.

Still, for a grown man to wet himself multiple times, there had to be something physically wrong.

Even if he had a medical condition, she wouldn’t think less of him. She wanted to spend her life with him, watch their children grow up and have children of their own. Of course she hoped he would stay healthy.

After he cleared the table and loaded the bowls into the dishwasher, she wrestled with the thought for a while before finally testing the waters. James, today’s Saturday–you’re not going to the office, right?”

“Mhm.”

Lately, his social media feed had been filled with videos of women showing off the gold bangles their boyfriends had given them. Other women had them, and his woman would too.

Aside from giving her some jewelry as part of their divorce settlement, he had never personally chosen a piece for her. Today, he had planned to take her to a jewelry store and pick something himself.

“Lily, we-

the mall when she cut in softly, “Then let’s go to the hospital.”

“The hospital?”

Instantly, the noble lines of his face tightened with concern. “Are you feeling unwell? Is it your stomach? Or-

She felt perfectly fine–nothing hurt anywhere.

Seeing the worry deepen in his eyes, she quickly interrupted. “I’m not sick. I meant… let’s go to a men’s health clinic

“What?”

James froze.

A men’s clinic was obviously for treating him, not her.

Chapter 439 Complete Misunderstanding

Yes, he’d had a fever last night–but as far as he knew, men’s clinics didn’t deal with fevers. They dealt with… other things.

His mind went blank for a second before a thought hit him hard.

Did she think that, because of how he’d been in bed those two nights, he hadn’t performed well enough? That he wasn’t satisfactory? That he needed treatment?

Truthfully, having the woman you loved think you weren’t good in bed was pretty painful.

But if he hadn’t done well–if he’d given her a bad experience then it was be angry with her.

Dropping his gaze to hide the sting in his eyes, he thought for a long momei There’s no need to go to a men’s clinic.

He Hainly wouldn’t

inre speaking seriously.

He had always been restrained and proper, and some things were just too blunt to say outright. But if it would keep her from thinking so little of him, he’d say it.

The doctor says that during the first three months of pregnancy, you can’t do anything too physically intense. In the meantime, Il train hard, and when… when it’s allowed, I’ll make sure to perform well. I won’t disappoint you again.

“Huh?”

What on earth was he talking about?

She had just been worried about his health and wanted to go with him for a checkup–how had he jumped straight to talking about… physical activity?

And he’d train in the meantime Perform well?

They weren’t even speaking the same language anymore.

Seeing the stunned look on her face, as if she doubted he could satisfy her two months from now, he turned his face further away and, with some effort, added, “I’ll increase my training intensity. In two months, you won’t think I can’t.”

It finally clicked for Lily what he meant.

He thought she was unhappy with him in bed and wanted him checked because she thought he couldn’t

measure up

But those two nights together had been more than enough proof–he had left her completely undone. If he didn’t count as capable, then every other man on earth might as well be a eunuch.

And now he wanted to train harder?

If he trained any more, she’d be lucky if her back survived it

Worried he might actually go through with it, Lily quickly said, “James, you.. you misunderstood. You don’t need to train harder. I just thought you might have a health issue and should see a men’s doctor. You don’t have to feel embarrassed–I’ll go with you. And I’ll keep it a secret.”

Chapter 439 Complete Misunderstanding

James’s face darkened.

He didn’t think he’d misunderstood at all

If she wanted him to see a men’s doctor, how could that mean she didn’t think less of him?

Still facing away from her, he drew in a deep breath before saying in a low, firm voice, T go to the gym tonight”

Which, frankly, he absolutely didn’t need to do.
