Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage novel Chapter 39

Lillian looked pale, and it might be because she had just argued with Sebastian. She shook her head and managed a smile. "I’m fine."

Stephen watched Lillian very carefully in a highly professional way. When he made sure that she was indeed fine, he helped her into the car. Stephen didn’t ask what Sebastian had said to her since he couldn’t care less about it. The only thing he cared about was Lillian’s well-being.

Lillian met Dawson as agreed. Although it was a private settlement, she had to keep her appointment in company with the lawyer.

Lillian had believed that in this lawsuit, since the radio station, the plaintiff, had ended up being sentenced to compensate for her loss, the radio station would make difficulties for her privately even if it had agreed to settle the case out of court.

But that was not the case. Dawson received her very friendly. He didn’t mention anything about her breaking the contract, nor did he mention the contractual penalty. Instead, he was very willing to accept the verdict and pay the compensation to Lillian.

Dawson even added that her programme wouldn’t be scheduled for midnight anymore. Lillian would host a tourism programme from 3 to 4 pm, where she would recommend good places to eat and play to the listeners.

The radio station didn’t call her to account for appearing on the tv show either. Dawson only asked her not to sign any contract with the tv station during the period of her contract with the radio station.

Lillian did the tv show inadvertently. It was out of the fat salary that she did that show. As for other shows, Lillian didn’t intend to do any of them, so she accept this request of Dawson’s.

At last, Dawson sent her out of the office very kindly, saying that he hoped they could have a friendly cooperation in the future.

Lillian was still in a trance after going away from Dawson’s office. She stared at Lawyer Bennett beside her and asked doubtfully, "Was it because of your appearance that Dawson didn’t give me a hard time?"

Lawyer Bennett shrugged. "Could be." Well, he wasn’t indeed some modest lawyer.

Stephen patted Lillian on the shoulder. "Since the problem is solved smoothly, what’s the worry?"

"I find it weird that the problem is solved too smoothly." Lillian wondered if she had had some blind luck.

Lawyer Bennett aside looked at the frowning Lillian, and something flashed across his eyes.

Since she had won the case, received compensation accidentally and resolved the conflict with the radio station, Lillian was in a good mood, so she invited Lawyer Bennett to dinner with Stephen.

In the Cantonese restaurant, the moment the two handsome and tall gentlemen, one best lawyer and one refined doctor, walked in, everybody’s attention was attracted by their magnetic aura.

"Suddenly I feel that my existence is redundant around you two," Lillian could feel those piercing eyes, taunting herself.

The media had long reported Lillian’s lawsuit, and the crowd recognized them after a while. The whole restaurant was seething instantly. Of course, it was mostly because Lawyer Bennett and Stephen were popular among people.

"Then let’s eat in the private room," Stephen suggested.

The three of them sat down in the private room. When the dishes were served, the two men opened a bottle of wine. Lillian also wanted to drink, but was stopped by Stephen. Since it was hard liquor, Lillian would fall over if she drank more than two glasses.

When they were halfway through their meal, Stephen’s phone rang. It turned out that it was the hospital urging him to go back to treat the patients.

It was embarrassing for Stephen to leave halfway, but Lillian said with a smile, "Since your profession is so divine and great, go and rescue the dying. I’ll buy you a meal next time."

Lawyer Bennett added, "Lillian is right. Don’t worry. I’ll finish off the rest of the wine." He raised the wine glass specially as he spoke.

Hearing that, Stephen smiled, and entrusted Lawyer Bennett sincerely, "Please send her back home later."

Lawyer Bennett glanced at Lillian and then met Stephen’s eyes. "It’s a man’s duty to send a lady home. Go and treat your patients."
