Babies' Secret: My Ex Wants Me Back! - Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Aaron finally had the courage to ask Katherine out for dinner, a dinner with just the two of them-not with the kids. Hopefully, she'd agree. He'd messaged her earlier to ask, and it took 30 minutes, 36 seconds for her to respond. He was nervous when he didn't receive a response quickly and thought maybe he'd be rejected, but surprisingly, she accepted with a curt reply. Well, he didn't mind, as long as they were going on a date. Aaron picked her up at a bus stop after the hotel street, according to what she wanted. She didn't allow him to pick her up at the hotel.

He parked his car at the restaurant, and as they walked in, he was assaulted by the warm scent of the high-end building. It smelled rich and expensive-exactly what he needed. He gently guided her, placing his hand at the middle of her back, to their space.

Both took their cutlery and started eating while making conversation. The conversation flowed easier than expected, yet none of them touched the sour part of their estranged past.

"I remember wanting to be a dancer. Now look at me," Katherine laughed, taking the napkin and dabbing her stained lips, "Though I like my work now, but-" she lowered her voice, using one hand to cover the side of her mouth, "It's stressful. Don't tell my boss." "I won't," Aaron raised his hands, laughing. "You better not," she said with a fake scowl, "Well, it pays super well," she muttered with a smile. "That's all that matters. The money." "Yeah yeah yeah," Katherine waved her hand before her eyes flashed, then snorted out, quickly using her hands to cover her mouth.

"Do you remember that day you sneezed when you were giving your graduation speech, but mucus came out of your nose?" Katherine started laughing as she tried to stifle it. "No," he banged his hand on the table lightly, shaking his head. He wanted to disappear. He could never forget that day-high school graduation. Sneezing publicly could embarrass someone sometimes. "Stop it.
