Let's Get Married novel Chapter 3

After finally checking out of the club, Lily could only think about how big of a mistake she had made.

One good thing was she hadn’t spent any money. But she hadn’t slept with a one of the club boys, but with one of clients. But, she thought, who cares who he is, right?

Lily couldn’t stop thinking about this strange new feeling she felt. She realized that she hadn’t even felt this way when Tim first cheated on her

As she is thinking about it, the mobile phone in the bag suddenly rings. Sure enough, it is Tim.

Lily closes her eyes gently, then quickly picks up.

“You have some nerve calling me.”

“Lily how dare you not come home. Where did you go last night?” Tim's grumpy voice rings in her ear.

Lily smiles bitterly, “Why, are you and Jade finished now? Is it my turn?”

“Stopping acting so strange. Wherever you are, I am calling you to tell you that mom will come to the house today. You'd better come back before noon!”

Lily notices that Tim feels no guilty at all. He doesn’t even view Jade as anything but a toy.

Lily knows at that moment that she cannot take this anymore.

For a moment Lily can only admire what a jerk Tim really is. Lily quickly responds, “Why don’t you find Jade and have her met your mother.”

“You...”

Before he finishes, Lily hangs up the phone. She was once so obsessed with his voice. She used to watch the phone all day just so she could hear his voice. Now that sound makes her feel sick.

Thinking of the past also makes Lily makes her sick. She knows that she needs to treat herself with respect and that before she can love again she needs to learn how to love herself.

Lily goes to the biggest shopping mall in the city and buys the best, in-season clothes that she can. As she tries on her clothes and looks at the beautiful woman in the mirror for the first time. This is step one Lily thought. At least I can't be laughed at by others

After coming out of the shopping mall, Lily still takes a taxi back to her villa. Not to visit her mother-in-law, but to get everything out in the open.

After paying the taxi driver, she enters the villa. But that moment, she is unable to bear the tears in her eyes. There are countless memories in this villa. Now, the place brings her no comfort.

The red high-heeled shoes in the porch are gone. Jade is gone.

Tim looks at Lily in her new clothes. He stands up from the sofa suddenly, his elegant face full of anger. He says, “Where did you go?”

She hadn't been home all night and she still had her clothes from last night in one of the bags. It didn’t look very good.

Lily doesn’t care to comfort him and takes delight in making him feel uncomfortable. She says, “Tim, I didn’t come back to make up with you. I can’t just pretend like nothing has happened and I can’t forgive you.”

Tim was shocked, he had always thought Lily to be such a passive person. She had never stood up to him like this before.

“What do you mean”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Lily sets on the sofa opposite him, and says, “Let’s get divorced. If you want to get with Jade, you have my blessing. You guys make a cute couple.”

This result is unexpected. Last night, Tim thought he knew how this would play out. Lily would come back to him, say sorry, explain how it was her fault and they would go on as normal. He never in a million years thought that Lily could do this.

But soon, a nasty smile crosses his face. “Where could you go if you divorce me, Lily. You have nothing but me. How would you live? Didn’t you use my credit card to buy those dresses?”

Lily held her hands tightly to her legs in disgust. “Tim, what am I to you? When we started dating, I gave up my future and my career for you. I can’t tell you how much I regret that now, but how cold-blooded are you to use that against me.”
