CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 He Was Avoiding Her Feelings

Lilian pursed her lips and got up, walking beside him as they left the villa together.

It was late at night, and the rain was pouring harder.

Francis held an umbrella, and the raindrops fell on the umbrella, making a clear sound in the night.

Lilian looked at his profile in the darkness, feeling inexplicable emotions. He had been so harsh to her before.

Yet today, he came to defend her and even offended Angelica for her.

What exactly was he thinking?

She couldn't figure him out at all.

Suddenly, Lilian stopped walking. The umbrella moved away from her head, and the heavy rain instantly poured down, blurring her vision.

He paused for a moment, took a step back, and placed the umbrella back over her head. "What's wrong?"

Lilian looked up at him. The light in the yard was enveloped by the heavy rain. When the light passed through the dense rain curtain and fell on his face, it was barely visible.

She stared at Francis for a long time before gesturing with her hand, "Why?"

Francis tilted his head, a hint of confusion flashing across his eyes as he raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be asking her what she meant.

Lilian gestured, "Why are you being nice to me?"

Francis stared at her without blinking, his voice indistinct in the heavy rain. "Isn't that what I should do?"

Lilian shook her head. "No, if you're too nice to a girl, she will fall in love with you."

Francis didn't say anything and just looked at her.

Lilian didn't wait for his answer. Perhaps, as Courtney had said, men liked to play dumb when it came to a relationship. This way, they could avoid ninety percent of the troubles.
