Jordan frowned. “You ask too many questions. It doesn’t matter anymore. We’ve already signed the divorce agreement, and there’s no need for you to know any more about it,”
“heard you’ve found the woman you had an latinate n
- relationship with three years ago.”
This was information Eilian had gotten from Victor
“You low quite abil jordan didn’t deny it
“Tsk. You’re not planning to remarry right after the divorce, are you?” Elhan said without hesitation. “Brother, you’re moving so fast it’s almost too much for me In keep up with.”
“Not so fast. Maybe there won’t be a second marriage.” Jordan’s eyes were deep and enigmatic.
have improved so
“What do you mean by that? Than’s interest piqued. “I haven’t been hack in three years, I didn’t expect the quality of Hornsey women to have dramatically.”
“I remember that you’re not into that sort of thing!”
Victor loved to play around, while Eilian was a car enthusiast. They each bad their own preferences.
“I’ve been single for so long. Can’t I just get a girlfriend?” Ethan argued. “You won’t believe this. I met a woman on the mad just as arrived here, and she was exactly my type.
“But just as I was about to make a move, the green light came on, and Ishe took a right tum while I went straight. If it hadn’t been for that, I would have definitely chased after her to get her number.”
Jordan was losing Interest. “You came liere just to talk to me about women?
“Of course not. I just wanted to catch up with you. How about treating me to lunch?”
“What should we eat?
“Since I haven’t been back in three years, Frm not sure where the best places to eat are. You decide!”
Jordan asked Adrain to make a reservational Regal Heights for lunch.
The Begal Heights was always packed, especially at lunchtime, as it was a popular spot for business meetings.
Troy had originally planned to book a private room, but they had all been reserved the day before. They ended up having to settle for a table in the main dining area. The owner had a kuck for creating a relaxing atmosphere. Each table was generously spaced throughout the large hall, which accommodated only six tables. This amangement ensured a surprising degree of privacy, as long as voices weren’t too loud.
Sabrina and Troy sat by the window, where they could see the courtyard with its artificial rock formations, fountain, and kot swimming freely in the water. They chatted casually about the patient’s condition
Ethan and Jordan found a table in the southeast comer of the hall. Looking around, Elian remarked, “This place is nice and elegant. I wonder who designed it.”
The pe
person is sitting right in front of you,” Jordan replied.
Ethan was speechless. “You own it?”
Thave a share. Victorway also part of it.”
Ethan said, “You two are making all this marry, and you didn’t even think to include me? That doesn’t seem very friendly!”
“There will be plenty more opportunities in the future.”
“That’s what a good brother is for,” Ethan said with a laugh
“You’ve been abroad, but it seems all you’ve leamed is how to change your expression,” Jordan teased with a grin. “You should give stage acting a try.” Glancing up casually, Jordan spotted a familiar figure in the distance and narrowed his dark eyes.
s were crossed in a way that was
The woman was wearing a short skirt and a layoff–shoulder top. Her long hair cascaded down her back, and her long, slender legs were undeniably inviting. She looked familiar
“What are you looking at?”
Ethan followed his gaze, and his narrow eyes widened. Just when Ethan was wondering how he was going to find her again, here she was! It was as if the universe was conspiring to help him leave behind single life.
“Jordan, that was the woman I met on the street. Isn’t her figure incredible? She’s definitely a bottle! She’s a total babe!
“What do youthink? Do you dink she’d reject in it 1 asked for her number?”
Ethan spoke excitedly, not noticing the growing tension around Jordan’s lips.
Jordan replied ambiguously, “You can give it a shot.”
“Let’s do it” feeling emboldened Ethan stood up and walked toward the woman.
Grabbing a menu from a table on his way, he approached her and said, “H. Remember me?
He made a fist and held it out in front of her as a reminder, flashing a smile that he thought was incredibly cool and charming.

Sabrina looked at Ethan and was startled by his sudden movement. It reminded her of the man who had bumped tists with her at the traffic lights just moments
“Is there something you need?” she asked.
Her lone was indifferent and distant she wasn’t the type to get close to strangers.
just thought it was a coincidence and wanted to make a friend, Ethan replied.
His long, narrow eyes were filled with intense interest. It was obvious he was trying to hit on her. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, she pointed at Troy, who was sitting across from her.
“sorry, but I don’t think my boyfriend would appreciate that,” she said:
Troy played along, loolding displeased. “I don’t like sharing my girlfriend with other men, and I’m sure you feel the same wa
She had a boyfriend? Ethan’s eyes flickered with disappointment. He’d never pickflowers that had already been taken, no matter how dangerously attractive they
“Sorry La bother you,” he said with a slight nod before turning to leave.
With a defeated sigh, he slumped into his seat and said, “Dude, I just got my heart broken a second ago.”
Jordan remained calm and asked indifferently, “Why?”
“She’s taken. I was too lare.”
“She admitted it herself?”
Ethan nodded, but Jordan said nothing. His eyes were dark and unreadable, leaving no one to know what he was thinking.
Halfway through their meal, jordan watched as Sabrina stood up and headed for the restroom. He had been tapping his fingers on the table but paused as he watched her go before finally getting up to follow.
“I’m going to the restroom,” he said.
Sabrina had barely stepped into the restroom when someone followed her in. Dismissing it as another customer, she didn’t give it a second thought.
But before she could latch the door, a forceful hand slammed it shut and trapped her inside.
Her eyes widened in shock as she balled her fist and swung at the man. In the next second, her hand was caught and pinned to her chest.
“Who is it?” she demanded
She tumed to see a pair of familiar darkeyes staring back at her. It was Jordan!
“Why are you here?”
“Who else did you think it could be? Your new, gentle boyfriend?”
His voice was as cold as ice. If she hadn’t know how heartless he was, she might have thought he was jealous,
Trapped against his warm body, she forced herself to remain calm. Struggling against him, she scoffed, “We’re divorced. I have every right to make friends, don’t 1? You get to have your fast love, so why can’t have suitors?”
“Sabrina, don’t forget that our divorce isn’t finalized yet. Legally, you’re still my wife.”
This man was clearly a trypocrite.
“Jordan, are you sick? What I do is none of your concem! Even if i date a hundred boyfriends, it’s not your business. Instead of wasting your time on this, why don’t you go to the hospital and check on your call Valerie?
She struggled against him, but he grabbed her shoulder and pressed her against the cubicle wall, exerting pressure on her injured shoulder. She winced in pain. “Mom and Grandma–don’t know we’re divorced yet. If they find out you’re daring other men, how will you explain that? Do you really want to upset them? Oh so it was her fault now?
She raised her chin and met his dark gaze. Her tone was sarcastic as she said, “You have the nerve to say that? Even if they knew, it’s you who would upset Grandma and Mom
“Let’s get one thing straight. You’re the one who wanted to divorce me, who abandoned mel How dare you accuse me?”
She pushed him hard and tried to get out of the cubicle.
