Chapter 185
"Then you can just keep being Mrs. Sinclair. After all, he's rich and capable, and he can still protect you in the future. Most importantly, Mr. Sinclair is like the dream guy for everyone in Oceancrest City. If you divorce him, you really won't find another man this great. Trust me!"
Lila thought for a moment before saying, "He can protect me, but he doesn't want to."
Elara offered her advice, "Make him fall for you, then he'll protect you. Feelings can be developed over time, just take it slow."
"Although yesterday he did say he wanted to be a man I'd like."
"Does that mean he's falling for you? So he wants you to like him back?"
Lila shook her head, "No, he said it's for having a baby. He wants a child. He mentioned it not long after we got married."
"I support you being husband and wife with Mr. Sinclair, but having a baby right now? Forget it."
"Right? I think so too. We have no feelings for each other at all. It's not the right time to have a baby."
Elara nodded vigorously, "Exactly! Without any feelings, what if you have the baby and then something changes in the marriage?"
"I think so too. Most importantly, I don't even like him right now, and he's still hung up on his ex-girlfriend. He even said I'm not worthy of mentioning his ex. I'd have to be crazy to agree to have his baby."
After saying this, Lila picked up her water glass and took a sip.
Elara asked her, "So are you guys using protection?"
She almost spit out her water. She put down the glass and quickly said, "What are you talking about? We're sleeping in separate rooms right now, each doing our own thing. We haven't even been intimate."
"Mr. Sinclair can hold back? He has such a beautiful girl like you and doesn't sleep with you? Not taking advantage of such a good opportunity? That's pretty gentlemanly."
"Just stop it."
Elara laughed.
At that moment, the waiter came to serve their food, and the two of them tactfully quieted down.
While eating, Elara started complaining about her boss again. After going on for a while, Lila thought of something and asked her, "By the way Elara, you mentioned before that you work at the Lucas Group. What's your boss's name?"
"John, square John. Isn't that kind of an interesting name? But he's not honest and reliable at all. He just thinks about women all day long."
"John?"
Elara nodded, "Yeah, do you know him?"
"He's my husband's friend! He even taught me how to drive before."
"Really?"
Lila nodded, "Really. Isn't he pretty good-looking, and he likes to joke around when he talks, with a good temper?"
"Yeah, everything you just described fits him perfectly. He's really Mr. Sinclair's friend?"
"Really!"
"Then we sisters are pretty unlucky, being tortured by these two guys at the same time."
Lila sighed, "Tell me about it."
Elara raised her water glass, "Come on, let's toast to our bad luck."
Lila played along, "Cheers!"
After clinking glasses, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Not far away, Alexander watched Lila laughing happily with his friend, his expression somewhat stiff.
She had never shown him a smile like that.
Ms. Hill was thinking about how to confess her feelings to Alexander, completely unaware that Alexander sitting across from her had already become distracted.
After building up her courage for a long time.
Ms. Hill finally looked up at Alexander and said, "Mr. Sinclair, I have something to tell you."
