I suddenly couldn’t hold back my laughter, then lightened my footsteps, planning to
sneak away.
I really didn’t know how to face James.
But after just two steps, I was stopped by a familiar voice, “Lily Sanders, where are you planning to run off to this time?”
I took a deep breath, then calmly turned around, “Oh, if it isn’t Dr. Quinn. I don’t think we’re that familiar, what business is it of yours where I go?”
James narrowed his eyes and walked towards me, his aura intimidating. I felt the pressure, “Not familiar? Can’t I care about my ex–girlfriend?”
Care, this word actually came out of James’s mouth. I thought he would never care about anyone.
I awkwardly forced a smile, “Dr. Quinn, you seem to have forgotten, we’ve already broken up.”
James was very tall, a full head and a half taller than me. My eyes at level could only see his chest. Looking at his chest, I was reminded of the scene two years ago when I forced myself on him. Today he was dressed the same, wearing a suit with a white shirt underneath, and a neatly tied bow tie, exuding an aura of restraint.
My inner self screamed, Lily Sanders! I knew you couldn’t possibly be that kind of abnormal person, you must have pursued him because you coveted James’s good looks.
“Are you Ryan’s girlfriend?”
was stunned, not expecting James to ask such a foolish question. Hadn’t we just
introduced this earlier?
“Yes.”
“Break up with him, and don’t see him again.”
I looked up at him in surprise. It was still those almond eyes, but this time, they were no longer calm and unruffled, but filled with anger, even a hint of fury.
got angry, “Are you sick? If you’re sick, go get treatment.”
With that, I didn’t want to tangle with him anymore and turned to leave. But the next second, my wrist was gripped by James, and with great force, I was pulled into his arms. James’s deep voice sounded in my ear, “Lily Sanders, you’ve really learned some new tricks in these two years.”
Then, after he finished speaking, he actually took the initiative to kiss my earlobe, and then gently bit it.
My brain instantly exploded. James must be having some issues today, not only hugging me on his own initiative but also kissing me.
“James! Let go of me, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to report you for harassment?”
I felt my forehead throbbing, then coughed twice, “I’ve already told you I have a boyfriend.”
James suddenly laughed, “Boyfriend? Ryan has already confessed honestly, said you scammed him out of six thousand dollars.”
Me, “…”
At this moment, another familiar voice called out to me, “Lily…”
Ryan walked out from inside, closing the door behind him, “You two know each other, don’t you?”
This matter definitely couldn’t be covered up anymore, I had to admit it even if I didn’t want to, “Mm, he’s my… not–so–normal ex–boyfriend.”
I originally thought Ryan would be very gossipy and ask about our relationship, but he only looked at James with some hostility, then said, “Was he harassing you just now?”
I nodded vigorously, James’s almond eyes narrowed, looking very angry.
Ryan pulled me over and said to James, “Although I consider you a friend, James, if you didn’t try to keep Lily two years ago, why are you coming to harass her now?”
What he said made a lot of sense, but when I looked up and saw the flash of loss in James’s eyes, my heart involuntarily tightened again.
Then, Ryan pulled me away in front of James, not returning to the gathering, but directly taking me to his car.
