"You ... " Lily frowned when Ashton talked about the marriage proposal. "Forget it, I’m not divorced yet."
Although Darryl was a loser, he had worked hard in the past few years and fulfilled his housework duties. He received a telling-off every time he failed to do a good job, yet he never complained.
Even a dog would have feelings, let alone a human.
Darryl had recently loaned them five million and relieved the company of its woes. Aside from that, Darryl had to take out all the money he had saved over the years to avoid embarrassment when William suggested going Dutch in Oriental Pearl Hotel.
Ashton looked at her affectionately. "Lilybud, am I inferior to Darryl in any way? He’s a loser! Don't you worry, I’ll prepare a big gift for Grandma's birthday and wish her a happy birthday! She’ll be delighted with the gift. I’ll propose marriage when the time comes and I’m sure that Grandma would not refuse."
Lily casually sipped her coffee. The Lyndon family's rules were very strict, and Grandmother Lyndon had the final say. If she took a liking to Ashton, Lily might be instructed to divorce Darryl.
Lily genuinely regarded Darryl as a loser, but she was not completely apathetic toward him. After all, they had been married for three years, and she did not dare to say that she had no feelings for him.
"Let me ask you something," Lily suddenly said.
"What is it? Ask away, Lilybud."
"That pair of The Worship of Crystal. You didn’t give me the real one, did you?" Lily could not help but ask.
"Lilybud. I get angry when you mention that!" Ashton sighed and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. "The shoes I gave you were imitations, but they are still worth three hundred thousand bucks. Your loser husband threw them! When I went home and saw those shoes, I realized that he had destroyed them."
Lily listened to Ashton's grumbles and bit her lip tightly.
"I'm talking about the genuine pair of The Worship of Crystal. Weren’t you the one who gave them to me?" Lily asked softly.
What?!
Ashton was taken aback. His first instinct was to look below. Sure enough, Lily was wearing a pair of noble and elegant high heels. It was none other than The Worship of Crystal!
His mouth opened wide after glancing at those heels! That pair of The Worship of Crystal was on a whole other level compared to the high-grade imitation worth 300,000!
Ashton might be a man, but he knew that those shoes were genuine! They looked particularly elegant and complemented a noble look on any woman who wore them.
Gulp!
Ashton gulped fiercely. 30 million! A pair of genuine The Worship of Crystal cost 30 million!
That very pair was special in that it was limited to 99 pairs worldwide. Those without connections were unable to purchase them!
