The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 838

She felt like an idiot.

In this whole relationship, she was the only one who ever tried. She was the only one who ran toward him while he stood still. Deep down, she kept wanting to ask him why. Why did he have to treat her like this?

Lilly grabbed her phone and scrolled to Jason’s messages. She started typing, her fingers trembling a little.

Why did you disappear three years ago? What about the girl you married? Do you have a new girlfriend now? Is it Hanna? If you’re with Hanna, why did you kiss me? Why did you act like that with me?

She had so many questions, and not a single answer.

Right then, on the other side of the city, Jason was back at his villa, standing in the bathroom, getting ready for a shower. He had his phone in hand, actually planning to message Lilly, when he noticed the little dots in their chat. She was typing.

Jason felt his chest tighten. Was she going to reach out to him?

He waited, watching the screen, holding his breath to see what she would say. The typing dots appeared, then vanished, then appeared again. In the end, nothing came through.

After a while, he gave up and sent her a message himself. Looking for me?

Lilly stared at the screen, torn. She didn’t know if she should ask him anything, or if she even had the right to. There were so many things she wanted to know, but she couldn’t send any of them.

Suddenly, her phone chimed. His message popped up. Looking for me?

Just two words. That was so him. Short, direct, always keeping his distance.

Lilly curled her fingers, hesitated, and finally replied, Mr. Farill, thank you for today.

Jason saw her message and smirked. She thanks him again.

He sent back, Can’t you say something else?

Lilly frowned at her screen. She didn’t get what he meant. Was he with Hanna right now? Or maybe with Frank?

She typed, Am I bothering you? You must be busy. You don’t have to reply.

He didn’t care what anyone else thought. Except her. He cared too much about her opinion.

He remembered the way fear flickered in her eyes when she saw his face after the accident. He stripped off his clothes and stepped into the shower. Ice-cold water poured over him, but it couldn’t cool him down. His mind was full of Lilly, her boldness, the way she’d touched him that day.

He couldn’t sleep. He missed her so much he couldn’t even close his eyes.

Three years. He’d thought about her every single night.

Jason shut his eyes, frustrated, letting his hand drift lower, chasing some kind of relief.

Lilly, do you still love me? Or is it really all over?

...

Mr. Lynch was already taking care of the situation with that worker. Lilly was still in a slump, so May, feeling for her daughter, dragged her out to get some food. They ended up at a private dining spot. May lightly pinched Lilly's cheek. "Give me a smile, Lilly. Good luck follows a happy face, so don't look so miserable."
