Originally, she’d woken up in such a foul mood thanks to those two idiots.
But the moment she saw Elias’s message-even just a simple good morning-her whole vibe shifted.
She couldn’t help but vent to him.
“My ex is insane. We broke up over a month ago, and now he’s texting me asking if I want to go and get the marriage certificate with him today. I mean, is he mentally okay?”
James had already left for the office.
He had been lounging lazily on the couch before reading my text, but the moment he saw it, his whole demeanor changed.
He sat up straight, stiff as a board. His usually calm, sharp features now looked tense.
He typed furiously.
“You can’t marry that guy. Men who cheat can never be trusted. Don’t fall for his sweet talk.”
Even through the screen, Lily could feel his urgency.
In all the time I’ve known Elias, he’s always been composed-like nothing in the world could shake him.
I didn’t expect someone like him to get so worked up over my relationship.
It warmed her heart.
He’s someone who doesn’t even want to get married himself, yet he’s still worrying about my love life.
That’s the kind of friend anyone would be lucky to have.
I knew he was just afraid I’d get hurt again.
She quickly typed back.
“I’m not going to marry him. A smart girl no looking back after a breakup.”
“Good.”
James finally relaxed a little.
He felt like our values aligned perfectly.
I hated looking back just as much as she did. go back to an ex. Life’s about moving forward. There’s
Whether it’s love or marriage, once it’s over, it should stay that way.
Like the divorce between me and Lily-I will never regret it.
I knew she meant it when she said she wasn’t going back.
But I also knew how easily smooth-talking jerks could trick girls into giving second chances.
James was still worried.
After a pause, he typed again.
“A guy who still can’t let go of his ‘first love’ is not someone you can count on.”
“Exactly. Two-timers are the worst.”
Lily fired back immediately.
“If I ever date again, it’ll only be with someone who’s 100 percent into me.”
Though honestly, I was really enjoying the single life.
James wanted to say more.
But technically, he was still married. Saying too much would make him sound like he was playing both sides.
So he kept his mouth shut.
Still, a little regret crept in.
I should’ve asked Lily to sign the actual divorce papers instead of that temporary agreement.
I need to find the right moment to make it official-soon.
“Elias, don’t worry. I’m not the type to fall for a few sweet words. That guy and his little ‘first love’ deserve each other.”-
“Good.”
James’s lips tugged into a soft smile.
After a moment, he added one more line.
“If he keeps bothering you, let me know. I’ll take care of it.”
A tiny chill ran down my spine.
I couldn’t drag Elias into this.
He gave off serious rule-follower energy-probably just a mid-level employee at some corporate job.
Maybe a junior manager at best.
Lily thought, John is the young master to the prestigious Jones family, one of the wealthiest in the Capital city. If Elias ever offended him by accident, John could easily get him fired.
John was powerful-and ruthless. I couldn’t help but worry Elias might end up getting hurt.
Elias genuinely cared about me as a friend. I couldn’t be the kind of person who dragged him into trouble.
“I already blocked him. He probably won’t bother me again. Elias, get back to work. We’ll talk later tonight!”
James actually was very busy that day.
But any man, no matter how busy he is, will always find time to text if he cares enough.
The truth was, he didn’t want to stop texting her. He wanted to see her keep sending messages, rambling about her day.
But she had already said goodbye for now, and it was obvious she had other things to do. So he replied calmly, “Alright. Don’t forget your meds. Eat well, drink plenty of water, and take good care of yourself. Talk to you tonight.”
Eat well, drink water….
Lily hugged her phone and rolled around on the bed.
Texting Elias just made my day.
Today is definitely going to be a good one.
After staying in bed for a bit, she lazily opened the news apps like she usually did.
She thought her account would be banned forever. But to her surprise, not only was it unbanned, she even received a formal apology from the platform.
The entire internet vibe had shifted.
Now everyone was calling Mathilda a liar and a shameless fake. People were apologizing to Lily, sending words of sympathy and regret.
Lily wasn’t naive enough to openly scold the netizens who had once cursed her out, but deep down, she couldn’t accept their apologies.
After all, when someone hurts you and then tosses out a casual “sorry,” it really doesn’t mean anything.
She had also seen the two videos making the rounds online.
James had actually managed to get the one full video she never even dreamed of getting her hands on.
And Nancy? She posted a public statement, standing up for me and pushing back against the Ginger family.
Reading that statement brought tears to Lily’s eyes again.
I really like Nancy. Like, genuinely.
And I was grateful to James-even if I knew in my heart he was only helping me now because the elders had asked him to.
The Ginger brothers had obviously seen the full video too.
But they still chose to defend Mathilda.
