CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Giving Up

Lilian gritted her teeth, the pain making her face grow even paler as she stared into his deep eyes. Gradually, she gave up resistance.

Francis didn't make any further moves. He just watched Lilian until she completely quieted down before letting go of her.

Lilian slid off the table and collapsed weakly to the ground. Clutching her abdomen, she couldn't move.

The slightest movement would cause her a piercing pain.

"Think carefully about what I said." The man's voice came from above.

He turned to leave, but his pants suddenly tightened. Looking down, he saw that Lilian had grabbed onto his trouser leg.

Lilian slowly raised her pale face. Any normal person would notice her pain.

Her lips quivered as she took two deep breaths to suppress the pain.

Lilian let go of him, raising her hand and gesturing slowly. "Since you hate me and everything around me so much, why don't you divorce me?"

Francis's eyes darkened, and he suddenly crouched down.

He lifted her chin and said, "You're becoming more and more forgetful. Have you forgotten what I told you so quickly?"

Lilian weakly stared at him. She hadn't forgotten.

He had warned her against seeing Courtney and bringing up divorce.

But she defied his orders.

Lilian felt like a dog locked in a cage. Having no freedom, she could only wag her tail and beg for mercy.

"Is this how you take care of me for a lifetime? Locking me up in a cage forever?"

Francis's eyes that were locked with hers flickered with something, but it disappeared before she could catch it.

After a while, he said, "If that's how you want to understand it, then fine."

His words struck her like a thunderbolt.
