Chapter38
The blame in her words was too obvious.With Lewis’s current status, the people around him were either flattering him or currying favor with him. No one would talk to him like this.
Alan’s heart skipped a beat, but Lewis only smiled faintly. “Isn’t this because I’m afraid that I’ll be thrown out by you again when I come?”
Archie looked at him. “Looks like you know what to do.”
“Alright, alright. Come and eat.””
Marilyn came out to smooth things over and placed the dishes on the long dining table.
Lottie went into the kitchen and took out the bowls and chopsticks. He arranged them according to their positions and poured wine into the tall glasses one by one.Archie was
traditional medicine, but from time to time, he also liked to drink a little.
She sat down beside her teacher’s wife. It was unknown if it was a coincidence or not, but Lewis happened to sit opposite her.
The couple had never been optimistic about Lottie’s marriage.
Chapter3n
How could they be happy that the child they had watched grow up was not liked by Nigel?
When they heard that they were divorced, they immediately
pulled someone to their house to set up a table to celebrate.
Marilyn looked at Lottie. He gently raised his glass and was happy for her. “I heard from your teacher that you’re getting a divorce. Madam thinks that you did the right thing and believes that you can meet a good person again.”
As he spoke, his gaze swept past Alan.
She had always felt that these two children were compatible. One was obedient, and the other was gentle. They were a match made in heaven.
Lottie felt a sharp and mocking gaze on her head. As if she did not notice it, she looked up and smiled. “Madam, Teacher has misunderstood. I explained it to him on the way here just now.”
“I’m not getting a divorce.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he retracted his gaze and unexpectedly met a pair of dark eyes.
The man’s eyes were deep with a hint of probing.Yes!
Chapter33
She was not willing to admit the divorce in front of him at all.
Marilyn was surprised and complained to her husband, “Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter? I even ordered a divorce cake…”
“Ahem, I didn’t have time.”
Archie did not ask anything and only played along on Lottie’s behalf. “You can eat cake even if you’re not divorced. As long as the child is happy, don’t you think so?”
Marilyn said, “That makes sense.“““Thank you, Madam.”
Lottie picked up the wine glass, clinked it lightly, and took a sip.
She put down her wine glass and the man opposite her said in a cold voice, “You’ve improved. You can swallow your anger.”
Lottie was not surprised at all.
When she got married back then, Lewis did not agree.
At that time, she was desperate to escape from Pollard family. How could she listen to so much? Besides, at that time, she did think that Nigel was a good choice.He didn’t agree, but she insisted on marrying him.
In exchange for such a well–known cuckold, of course he would

laugh at her.
She clarified online that only the public could be deceived, not
the people around her. They all had eyes, so who could not tell
the side profile of her and Esther?
“You taught me well.”
Lottie retorted. After saying that, he wanted to leave, but he
was afraid of wasting the table of dishes that his wife had
painstakingly made. He forcefully suppressed his temper.
Alan was surprised. “You know each other?“““Not close.“”
“It’s more than that.”
Lottie and Lewis answered at the same time.
The atmosphere almost froze.
Lewis’s well–defined fingers curled slightly as he tapped the
bottom of the goblet. He looked at Alan casually and said, “I’m
her brother.”
Something seemed to have ignited in Lottie’s heart. She took a
deep breath and tried her best to suppress the suffocation in her
chest. She held it in until the corners of her eyes could not help
but turn red. Just as he was about to speak, Archie said, “Alan,
Chapter38
you’re almost done eating. Send Lottie home.””
“Teacher, Madam…”
Lottie looked at Marilyn apologetically.
Marilyn patted her back lightly. “Be good. It’s fine. Just listen to
your teacher.”
Alan was surprised by the relationship between Lottie and
Lewis, but he also knew that it was not an appropriate occasion
to ask. He stood up and led Lottie away. “Let’s go. I’ll send you
home.”
“Thank you, Brother Alan.“Lewis’s eyes were deep. When he
heard the last word, he frowned without batting an eyelid. It
was very ear–piercing.
