Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 1080. I just want to hug you.

Chapter 1080: 1080. I just want to hug you.

Christopher Moore thought about those two people he had just seen and remembered that his wife had been investigating Mrs. Green lately.

As long as she hadn’t done anything outrageous, he had not interfered.

Now, hearing the suppressed anger in Lily Jones’s tone, he became somewhat curious; how had those two offended her?

Christopher Moore looked again towards Thompson and her daughter, who had already turned to leave in the distance, and said,

"Do you know them?"

Lily Jones paused in her steps, lifted her eyes to look at Christopher Moore, and suddenly, scoffed. She raised her hand and pointed at her own face, saying,

"Haven’t you noticed that my face looks very much like Mrs. Green’s?"

Upon hearing Lily Jones ask this, Christopher Moore suddenly realized that Mrs. Green’s face did indeed bear a strong resemblance to that of his own wife.

If his wife were just a little older, she would look even more like Mrs. Green.

Thinking of his wife’s investigation into Mrs. Green that day, disbelief and astonishment tinted the depths of Christopher Moore’s eyes.

"You and her..."

Lily Jones nodded and said,

"That Mrs. Green is my long-deceased biological mother."

Christopher Moore saw the sarcasm in Lily Jones’s eyes, and the shock on his face took quite a while to subside.

After a long time, he heard Christopher Moore say in a low voice,

"How could she..."

"She had an affair, ran off with another man when my father died."

Lily Jones spoke as if she couldn’t care less, and with her chin, she pointed to Cam Green, who was busy mingling among the various dignitaries,

"That Master Green is her lover."

Christopher Moore knew that his wife had lost her parents before she was even a year old, and she had been raised by the Old Lady.

He had always felt sorry for her lack of parents since childhood, so after they got together, he tried to give her the best of everything.

But now, knowing that her mother was still alive, and even living in the same city as her, yet had never once come to see her, filled him with rage, no, extreme rage.

Christopher Moore was known among the noble families’ Young Masters for his good temper, and he hardly ever lost it, but this time, he was truly angry.

A chill also began to seep from the bottom of his eyes.

Christopher Moore seldom showed a dark face, especially in front of Lily Jones.

Therefore, the emotions he now let out were particularly evident, and Lily Jones, even without seeing, could clearly sense them.

Instinctively, she lifted her eyes to look at him, only to see a layer of icy frost blanketing the usually gentle depths of his dark, deep black pupils.

Lily Jones was stunned by this rare display of emotion from him and asked,

"What’s wrong with you?"

Lily Jones’s voice brought Christopher Moore back to his senses, and at the same moment, the coldness in his eyes also retracted.

Looking at Lily Jones somewhat tenderly, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace, causing Lily Jones to stiffen even more and to be somewhat perplexed.

"What on earth is wrong with you?"

She furrowed her brow in confusion, lifting her eyes to look at Christopher Moore’s face.

Seeing Christopher Moore purse his lips, he said in a hoarse voice,

"Nothing, I just wanted to hug you."

Lily Jones was silent for a long time while being held, her heart had actually been hanging, unsettled, ever since he had proposed divorce.

She was genuinely afraid of Christopher Moore divorcing her.

Even though she detested Elly Campbell through and through, she had to admit there was truth in one thing Elly Campbell said,

There would not be a second Christopher Moore who could tolerate her spoiled and willful temper.

Therefore, even though she had grown accustomed to being wilful over the years, she still restrained herself in front of Christopher Moore.
