C90 My Wife, Reece.

"...吻戏?"

Reece muttered to himself as his gaze fell on the little girl's face.

"Okay."

Lydia nodded and continued to eat her food. She didn't notice the dark look in the man's eyes.

Kiss?

Kiss...

When he thought of her lips being stained by someone else's scent, Reece clenched his chopsticks in frustration.

No.

The kissing scene must not be filmed, unless...

Unless the man who kissed her didn't want to live anymore.

"There's no need for this advertisement."

"The kissing scene is just in line with the scandal. It'll be easier to clean up the mess when the time comes."

Just as he was about to say that the advertisement was unnecessary, Lydia interrupted him.

Hearing this, the coldness in his heart was instantly swept away by her words.

It turned out that the kissing scene was necessary to clean up the mess.

Hearing this explanation, he felt refreshed. His frozen heart melted into a stream of water, and his tightened lips relaxed. "Okay, it's good that you have decided."

After saying that, the man picked up the lamb and placed it in her bowl.

Looking at the piece of meat that fell into her sight, Lydia paused slightly.

In the past, because of Maria's death, Reece hated him to the bone.

Even though he forced himself to marry her, he had only been home for a few times in a year, let alone having dinner with her and eating her favorite hotpot.

In the past, whenever he came back, she would try to please him.

It was a strange day. It seemed that they were on the opposite side.

Ever since he knew that she was the one who had been guarding his bedside, his attitude had changed. In fact, his behavior had become even more indifferent.

In the end, after knowing the truth, he still felt guilty towards her.

That was why he treated her so well and wanted to make up for it.

Although she didn't want him to make up for it, she didn't reject him.

If she could do this and make him feel less guilty, then she would eat it. After everything was over, they would have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Thinking of this, she stuffed the meat into her mouth.

Seeing her eat the meat slice, the man's thin lips curled into a beautiful smile.

Lydia was eating at the dining table, and Reece was quietly watching her.

Seeing that she was eating so well, his mood became much better. He, who had never touched spicy food before, actually ate quite a lot that night.

After dinner, Lydia went back to her room to wash up.

After washing away the strong smell of the hot pot and the exhaustion on her body, she changed into a set of pajamas and opened the closet to carry her blanket to the floor.

Pah.

At this moment, the door behind her was pushed open. The sound of leather shoes knocking on the floor came from behind.

Was Reece not busy tonight?

Why did he come back to his bedroom so early?

Although she was surprised, she still calmly laid down on the bed.

In fact, it didn't really matter to her whether he was in the room or not. After all, they didn't communicate much anyway.

"You can sleep on the bed in the future."

Suddenly, a magnetic voice sounded from behind her. Lydia's heart trembled in shock.

However, she quickly lowered her eyes and continued to tidy her bed. "No need. We agreed to it in the beginning. You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."

"Tonight, there will be a little rain..." The man paused for a moment, and his worried gaze fell on her left leg.

Although he only said half a sentence, Lydia understood his intentions.

This man was worried that her legs would hurt in the rainy day. It had to be said that Reece was very considerate.

However, the more he cared about her, the heavier her heart became.

She treated it as if he had no intention of doing it.

Two times, she treated it as if he was guilty.

Three times, four times...

She was afraid that if she were to spend too much time with him, she would lose her direction in this good.

She was afraid that everything she had built up with great difficulty would be disintegrated by this man's occasional gentleness.

Therefore, after careful consideration, she rejected his good intentions this time. "My legs don't hurt anymore after taking the medicine you gave me. I'll just sleep on the floor."

"They don't hurt anymore?" Reece frowned in disbelief.

The man's gaze was too sharp, and she lowered her head in guilt. She nodded again. "Yes, it doesn't hurt..."

In the next second, her chin was suddenly pinched.

Then, her face was forced to rise. Her eyes were filled with the domineering look of the man. "You have two choices. One, you go over yourself. Two, I'll carry you over. Choose for yourself."

Pick?

Heh!

Was this man giving her a choice or a threat?

She pushed him away coldly and said, "I said I won't sleep on the bed. This floor is pretty good. I'll sleep on the floor. You... Ah!"

She had only spoken halfway when she was suddenly picked up by the man. She screamed in panic.

"Hold me tight if you don't want to fall!" The man's voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

At that moment, Lydia's mind went blank. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

Reece lowered his eyes and glanced at the little person in his arms. His eyes were bright and shrewd.

Seeing that she had held him firmly, he walked to the bedside.

"Reece, you..." Looking at the bed getting closer, Lydia suddenly came back to her senses. She slapped the man angrily, "Let me go, let me down!"

However, the man acted as if he didn't hear her. He forcefully carried her onto the bed.

As soon as her body was released, she tried to get off the bed.

The next second, her waist tightened and she was pulled into the man's arms.

A low and warm voice sounded in her ear, "You know, no one can change my decision."

The man's voice was low and deep, but it carried a force that could not be resisted. Lydia's face turned pale.

Yes, she knew. She knew how domineering and stubborn this man was.

If he had made a decision, there was no possibility of changing it.

In her previous life, she had been unwilling to accept it. She had stubbornly wanted to change his decision of not loving her. Unfortunately, she had caused herself to be injured and even died in the end, but she had not been able to obtain his love.

Heh, heh...

Thinking about the past, her eyes reddened.

She looked up at the ceiling and forced the water vapor away. She then said coldly, "Reece, why did you suddenly change your indifference and treat me well?"

"..." Reece was stunned by her question.

He looked up at the little person in his arms and thought about how he should explain that he had mistaken her for Maria.

Before he could say anything, however, Lydia turned to look at him and said coldly, "This question is very difficult to answer. Or... don't you want to answer it?"

"Forget it, I'll answer it for you!"

"Because you know that you mistook me for someone else in the past, and you feel guilty about it. That's why you have been trying to please me and make up for it!"

Lydia, who was busy with Reece, waited for his answer.

The man was stunned by her deduction, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he simply nodded in agreement.

She said calmly, "Reece, I was willing to be ignored by you because I loved you. You don't need to blame yourself or take it to heart. You don't owe me anything, and you don't need to make up for anything."

She did not need his compensation. What she wanted was to leave him!

Lydia pushed Reece, who was frozen on the spot, and slowly got off the bed. "In the agreement period, our relationship will remain the same. This is good for both of us."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Reece's eyes as he looked at her thin and weak back.

Did she think that his change was because of guilt?

It seemed that his actions were not obvious enough for this woman to misunderstand.

Then, he would be more obvious in the future.

The man looked up at her and pulled her back to his side. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips. "No..."

Lydia's eyes widened in surprise.

In that instant, her mind went blank and she froze on the spot. Her brain was not working at all, and she did not even have the mood to think about what the man meant.

While Lydia was still in a daze, Reece gently pecked her lips and said, "Listen to me. You can sleep on the bed tonight."

After saying that, the man finally let go of her.

Reece stood up and walked towards the door indifferently. "When I finish dealing with the company, you better sleep on the bed. Otherwise... I don't mind sleeping with you on the bed for the night."

After saying that, the man closed the door.

Pata.

It was only when she heard the sound of the door closing that Lydia came back to her senses.

The scene just now was so surreal that it felt like a dream. It was not real at all.

If it wasn't for the smell of cigarettes lingering on her lips, she would've thought that she was hallucinating.

Lying on the bed, she thought about the words that the man had just said and the kiss he had given her.

However, at that time, Lydia did not understand the intention of Reece's strange behavior. It was only many years later that she realized that he had understood his strange behavior today.

That night, it was probably the man's last words that had worked. Lydia really didn't go to bed.

She lay on the warm and soft bed and fell asleep. She didn't even know that she was sleeping with another person next to her in the middle of the night.

After breakfast, because there was no class today, she followed Reece to the company.

"Get out of the car."

Standing outside the car, the man glanced at the woman in the car and ordered.

Lydia hesitated for a few seconds, but she still got out of the car.

She stood beside the man and lowered her head, waiting for him to leave as usual. However, this time, she waited for a long time, but the man next to her didn't make any movements.

Lydia raised her head and looked at Reece in confusion.

"Are you ready?" The man looked down at her and asked softly.

Lydia asked in confusion, "What are you ready for?" He didn't seem to have asked her to prepare anything.

She saw that Reece didn't say anything. He just smiled and put his hand on her waist. Then, he took her step by step to the company.

Being forced to follow the man, Lydia's face was filled with shock.

It was currently working hours, and the employees of the company were entering the company one after another.

For example, there was a huge crowd of people queuing up to sign their cards.

The employees were all stunned when they saw the two of them.

"Look, look, Mr. Tillman brought a woman to the company. Could it be the CEO's wife?"

"How could it be that woman? Don't you know? Our CEO was forced to marry that woman. The CEO doesn't like that woman at all. He doesn't even go home after getting married for a year. How could he bring her to the company?"

The employees looked at her and whispered to each other. Their gazes were filled with speculation and jealousy.

However, when she heard the gossip, her heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something.

She lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Look at Reece. Many people know that you can't possibly fall in love with me. Why am I so stupid to not turn around and run away?

Fortunately, she had seen the reality of this life. She still had time to turn back.

Knowing what was going to happen, she quickly moved away from the man.

Lydia could hear the gossip, so of course, Reece could hear it too.

He reached out his hand and pulled her back to his side. He asked gently, "Are you angry?"

"No." What right did she have to be angry? She just didn't want to lose too much face.

"Good girl." Reece gently rubbed her hair. His thin lips landed on her lips without any warning. "That's right. How could my wife be so petty?"

When he said this, he deliberately raised the volume of his wife's name. Everyone at the reception desk heard it clearly.

Everyone was dumbstruck, especially those who had just been talking about it.

Wife... Wife!

This was Mr. Tillman's wife?

Wasn't it rumored that they were not in a good relationship?

It wasn't just the employees who were shocked, but also Lydia.

She suddenly looked up at the man beside her. Her eyes were filled with astonishment. Wasn't he the one who was least willing to publicize their relationship in front of outsiders?
