CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Selfishness

His voice was not loud, but Lilian was startled.

She gestured in a panic: I... I want to... want to buy something.

"What?"

Lilian swallowed: Clothes, for you.

He stared at her with his deep eyes and suddenly laughed, "Buy me clothes?"

Lilian nodded.

"Lily." He suddenly called her name. It had been a long time since she'd heard him call her that way.

He caressed Lilian's cheek with his fingers and said in a cold voice, "You are a bad girl now. You lie without blinking. Did Courtney teach you this?"

Lilian's pupils shrank and she waved her hands repeatedly.

Francis grabbed her hand and stopped her from explaining. He put his other hand around her waist and kissed her lips.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just kidding. What kind of clothes are you going to buy me?"

Lilian's hands were restrained and she could only stare at him helplessly.

And he didn't seem to want her to answer.

Lilian glanced outside the door. It was raining lightly and gray outside. It was only after five o'clock.

She tried to break away from him, but he held her wrists tightly, and she had no way to communicate with him.

She was breathing heavily, shaking her head, and could only plead with him with her eyes.

And Francis, as he said, seemed to just want to tease her and didn't do anything substantial.

Until there were tears in her eyes, he finally let her go.

Lilian stood up from his lap, arranged her clothes haphazardly, and gestured: I'm going to cook.

He also stood up and said, "No need. You eat by yourself tonight."

After saying this, Francis buttoned up his collar, walked two steps, and then turned back and said, "Don't do this again."

Lilian bit her lip, avoiding his sight.
