Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 443

Seeing Summer ignore him, Xavier didn't push his luck.

He just kept stealing glances at her.

Since leaving him, she seemed to be thriving, glowing even more beautifully than before.

Meanwhile, by the window of the master bedroom.

Lydia looked down at the garden.

The flowers were blooming beautifully in vibrant colors.

Scarlett smiled sweetly, picking a handful of flowers and handing them to Bennett, who accepted them with a smile.

Scarlett then massaged Bennett's temples and shoulders, the two of them chatting and laughing.

Lilith stood beside Lydia. "Mom, you have to control your temper. If you keep being so aggressive, you're just pushing Dad right into that woman's arms."

"Summer brought that woman in on purpose to drive a wedge between you and Dad. You can't fall for it."

Lydia knew that all too well. She wanted to control her emotions, but it was so hard.

And even if she did manage it, suppressing her anger and acting gentle every day, would Bennett really treat her like he used to?

How naive.

Lydia scoffed. "Lilith, everyone loves beauty. Especially men—they love beautiful women the most."

"I'm disfigured now, covered in burn scars. Your dad feels sick just looking at me. I was in the hospital for so long, and he only visited once—and fainted from the shock."

"So even if Summer hadn't found this Scarlett, there would be another Scarlett. Your dad and I were destined to drift apart."

Lilith frowned. "Then what do we do? Are we just going to watch them flirt right in front of us?"

Lydia turned coldly and dug out her passport. "Lilith, I need to go overseas for reconstructive surgery as soon as possible. Once I'm healed, I'll deal with those two."

"Okay," Lilith nodded. "I'll have Xavier make the arrangements."
