Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 193

Michael was hit, the corner of his mouth seeped out a trace of blood.

The next second, an external force fiercely snatched Lillian from his palm, he subconsciously wanted to clench, while holding only the residual warmth of the girl at his fingertips.

Inexplicable loss and anger rushed to his heart, he coldly looked up at the man across from him.

“Is it hurt?” At this time Atherden only cared about Lillian's red wrist, the bottom of the dark eyes tumbled with heartache.

When the four eyes met, Lillian froze.

Although it’s the first time they met, his care and tenderness she felt were real.

He was such a nice guy.

Atherden's gentleness was like a ray of winter sunshine shining into her cold world, making her feel warm.

But it lasted for just a second because she knew that the reason why Atherden was so nice to her as she and his ex-wife were very similar.

The care and love she felt at this moment belonged to that woman, right?

That woman was so happy to have a man who loved her so much.

As for her, she did not dare to think more about this man's tenderness.

She knew she was just a stand-in for him, so she wouldn't be foolish enough to take it seriously.

She had self-awareness, so she looked down, pulled her hand back from the man's hand, and squeezed out a smile, pretending to be strong and say, “I’m fine.”

Lillian’s sense of detachment from him caused a flash of loss to well up in the bottom of his gentle eyes.

But the sentiment was soon hidden under the man's warm and elegant smile.

After making sure that Lillian was okay, he looked up at Michael on the opposite side of the room with a cold look on his face, just in time to meet Michael's eyes.

“Atherden Wright?” Michael was stunned and clearly surprised.

At this moment, all that echoed in his ears were Atherden's words just now, “Let go of my wife.”

His wife?!

Michael’s black eyes narrowed fiercely, his eyes swept a glance at Lillian and fell back on Atherden, “You call her your... wife?! You, what...” What the hell was going on?

In contrast to Michael’s consternation, Atherden's face was bland, his large hands held Lillian in his arms, elegantly hooked the corners of his mouth, “Mr. Burke, it’s been a long time. Let me introduce to you, my fiancée, Lillian Burke.”

Looking at the other men's hands landing on Lillian's shoulders, Michael felt extraordinarily harsh and can’t wait to break those hands apart inch by inch.

And he quickly took himself by surprise with this thought.

What was he doing here?

Jealous?

No, it can't be!

How could he be jealous because of that woman?

He just thought that this kind of scheming woman was not worthy of having a man of such distinguished status as Atherden.

Yes, he just felt sorry for Atherden.

Thinking of this, Michael seemed to openly accept the sentiment, and even believed it. He looked sideways at Lillian, who always bowed her head, snorted, “Fiancée? Mr. Wright, Have you ever gotten to know the character and past of this fiancée of yours? How about I tell you about the things she has done?”

After hearing these words, Lillian was shocked.

She originally thought that as long as she did not provoke Michael, Michael would just let her go and leave.

But to her surprise, she was naive.

It was obvious that he wanted to ruin her!

She can accept that Michael wanted to ruin her! After all, she was the one who wronged him and sent the woman he liked to the arms of his rival, but... but he deliberately mentioned the old story in front of Atherden, which would have completely ruined the Burke family.

No!

She wouldn't allow him to do that.

She looked up sharply, her pink lips opened slightly, wanting to tell Michael to shut up, but Atherden opened his mouth one step ahead of her, “Since Mr. Burke said it was the past, so how important is the past?”

He didn't care about her past.

After waiting for ten years, he was not here to comment on her past, he wanted to be involved in her future.
