Chapter 60
Alexander said mercilessly, "In your dreams!"
Lila didn't get angry. She replied calmly, "See, you won't love me at all. And of course, I don't think I could fall for someone who constantly puts me down and targets me. So getting divorced after a year and following the contract is good for everyone."
What she said made perfect sense, but Alexander felt extremely annoyed hearing it.
When did she get to decide how things would go and when?
Alexander was the CEO of the Sinclair Group, handsome and highly capable. Did he really have no appeal at all to Lila, a girl from an ordinary family?
For the first time in his life, Alexander questioned his own charm as a man.
Now he was curious.
What kind of guy was this man Lila kept hidden in her heart, who could bewitch her into being completely indifferent when facing an excellent man like him?
Alexander made up his mind—he would make Lila open her eyes and see clearly that he was a hundred, a thousand times better than whoever she had in her heart.
This was about his dignity as a man.
Alexander couldn't stand his wife in name, Mrs. Sinclair, ignoring and looking down on him like this.
With this thought, he looked at Lila again, his lips curling into a cold smile. "So what you're saying is, you plan to occupy the position of Mrs. Sinclair, give nothing, and walk away clean in the end?"
Lila froze for a moment. Looking at Alexander's sharp eyes, she wasn't sure whether she should admit it or not.
After thinking, Lila said, "It's not just me walking away clean after a year. If we maintain a respectful relationship, after the divorce, a year later, Mr. Sinclair, you can also pursue other people without any burden. Haven't you been waiting for someone you actually like? Just to prevent me from walking away clean, would you really sacrifice yourself and make me..."
She suddenly didn't know what word to use.
Alexander raised an eyebrow. "Make you what?"
"I just think, since Mr. Sinclair dislikes me so much, you shouldn't force yourself."
"Haven't I told you to call me honey at home?"
Lila felt a bit helpless.
Was that really the point?
Why suddenly change the subject?
They were having an argument, and she was still holding back her anger. How could she call him honey?
To put it bluntly, with the way he treated her, did he even deserve to be called "honey"?
Alexander couldn't hear Lila's inner thoughts, but seeing her stay silent, he said coldly, "Cat got your tongue?"
"Let's stick to the point. You don't like me, so there's no need to force yourself to treat me any particular way."
"Feelings can be developed. I don't mind playing around with a woman who married in for money. What, are you scared?"
Just playing around?
Those words sounded way too insulting.
To Lila, feelings were never something to be toyed with.
Alexander's words created a thick sense of displeasure in her chest, but she didn't have the confidence to argue or defend herself.
Seeing her stay silent, Alexander warned her viciously, "Lila, you've got your calculations all figured out, but I'm not that easy to deal with. You're my wife, and whenever I feel like it and need you, you'd better fulfill your duties as a wife without hesitation. Got it?"
She looked at him without speaking.
Alexander's tone grew heavier. "I'm asking you a question."
Lila pressed her lips together and said quietly, "Don't you have a cleanliness obsession? You dislike me so much, yet you want me to fulfill my wifely duties. Aren't you afraid I'll make you dirty?"
Make him dirty?
For a second, Alexander was actually stunned.
He'd never heard of a woman making a man dirty in that context.
This Lila really made him see her in a new light!
Alexander's lips curved into a cold smile, his dark eyes locked on her delicate, innocent face. "Since you know I have a cleanliness obsession, when that day comes, you'd better make sure you're squeaky clean!"
