The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 878

Lilly reached for Jason’s arm, her voice soft with concern. “Are you okay?”

Jason shook his head. “I should be the one asking you that. Did Frank say anything bad to you? I honestly had no idea he and Jill were making things hard for you before. Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t let anyone treat you badly.”

A gentle warmth filled Lilly’s heart. Jason was always so protective, so sincere. “Frank didn’t really say anything. I just don’t want to see you and him fighting because of me. I know he genuinely cares about you. You two have been close for years.”

Jason gave her a reassuring smile. “It’s okay. Frank and I aren’t going to fall out over this. I just need him to understand that you’re with me now. No one gets to mess with you.”

Lilly felt a rush of emotion. She hesitated, something on her mind. “Oh, by the way, Jason, Frank was acting so weird today. I could barely follow what he was talking about. He said I betrayed you with Lucas. When did I ever…”

Before she could finish, Jason reached out and gently rested his hands on her shoulders, his voice calm and tender. “Don’t listen to Frank. He gets things mixed up. Even if you had been with Lucas, that would be in the past. I honestly don’t care.”

“But…” Lilly wanted to explain, but Jason interrupted her again, this time brushing his hand through her hair.

“Let’s not talk about things that make us upset. You’re with me now, Lilly. That’s what matters.”

Lilly grinned, rising up on her tiptoes to kiss him quickly. “And I’ll still be yours, no matter what.”

Jason leaned down, ready to kiss her back, but Lilly dodged, laughing. “Work first.”

She settled back into her chair and pulled her design sketches toward her. Jason just smiled and turned to his own stack of paperwork.

The evening came before they knew it. Kent poked his head in the door. “Sir, about tonight…”

Jason didn’t let him finish. “Cancel everything tonight. From now on, I’m done at six.”
