His expression remained the same, almost as if whatever she just said didn’t affect him emotionally at all
After she finished laughing to herself, she asked, “What’s wrong? Are you upset after hearing the truth?”
“Nope,” he answered without batting an eye. “I’m quite pleased that you think that way. Otherwise, I’d feel sorry for having done you a disservice.”
The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she glanced about her surroundings as if she didn’t know how to react to his words or how to continue the conversation.
As he studied the food in front of her, she barely ate anything.
So he asked. “You’re done? Are you full?”
In response, she placed her spoon down. “Yeah.”
Thus, he called for the check.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the man, who had secretly been taking pictures of them, had put his phone away.
To be honest, I don’t understand the point of taking these photos.
In the first place, drugging their opponents was a low blow.
When they saw that they didn’t fall for their dirty trick, shouldn’t they keep to more honest means?
Why do they have to go so far and bring it out to the open? Don’t they have any integrity?
After Robert paid the bill, Lily stood up first. Then, she walked over to him and hugged his arm.
As he lowered his gaze, he looked down at the hand on his arm. Two seconds later, he squeezed her hand, then he moved her arm away and entwined his fingers with hers.
She nearly broke out into laughter.
Sometimes, Robert can be pretty shrewd.
As they held hands, they walked out of the restaurant. As they passed by the man who was secretly. snapping photos of them, Lily used her other hand and lightly hit Robert on his shoulder.
Her voice was slightly pouty as she pretended to be angry. “Why did you have to anger me on the plane? The next time you do that, I’m going to go out and seduce a young, handsome guy.”
Robert seemed to smile. Then, he said in a neutral voice, “You can try if you dare.”
The warning in his voice wasn’t heavy; his tone leaned more toward
After that, they left the restaurant full of smiles.
Even after they left the restaurant, she didn’t let go of his hand.

Rather, she held on even tighter as she leaned her entire body against his arm.
They didn’t talk, but the smile on her face grew wider.
She wanted to irritate and provoke him.
Since he wanted Lily’s help, he shouldn’t not expect her to be obedient.

In the past, she might have been easy–going and docile; but now, she has the divorce papers in my hand.
Therefore, she was not afraid of anything, nor did she care,
When the two of them entered the elevator, Robert finally spoke up. “Can you let go yet?”
Lily lifted her head and looked at him. “Huh? Let go? Why? Aren’t we still outside? As long as we’re outside, we’re a couple. Isn’t it normal for couples to do this?”
He pursed his lips. It looked like he wanted to say something, but he said nothing in the end.
Then, they got out of the elevator. Their rooms were located in different directions.
As they stood outside the elevator, she finally let go of him and turned to head toward her room without hesitation. She even waved her hand at him while her back was facing him. “Robert, I’m going back. Call me if you need me.”
That arrogant look of hers made everything just now look like nothing more than an act.
Robert studied Lily’s back for a long while before turning and returning to his room.
His computer was still sitting on the desk, and it contained various documents that he had yet to read.
However, he wasn’t in the mood to look through them.
Afterward, he went into the bathroom and took a shower. Then, he stood by the window and looked outside.
It was very hot outside. Therefore, it was very quiet as there was nobody at the beach during this time.
Later, Samson knocked on the door and came inside, then he said shiftily, “Robert, have you finished discussing it with Lily?”
Robert thought about it. Judging by Lily’s attitude, she probably agreed to do it.
Thus, he nodded slowly. “I guess so.”
When he heard that, Samson let out a long sigh of relief. “That’s great, then. I like Lily. Whenever I think of a different woman standing beside you, I–I…
When he met Robert’s gaze, he couldn’t finish his sentence.
On the other hand, Robert asked expressionlessly. “Why do you like Lily so much? Which part of her is so great?”
Samson pursed his lips and stared at Robert.
Judging from Robert’s expression, it didn’t look like he was mocking him.

So, Samson answered. “Lily is easy to approach and has a good personality. More importantly, she’s pretty.”
Robert snorted, then turned to look at his phone. “How shallow.”
