The Ex Wife They Begged To Keep - Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Chapter 329 Serena and Chloe sat together while Simon thoughtfully ordered their favorite dishes, Even Serena had to admit she wasn't that considerate. most of the time. Over the past few days, Chloe had grown more comfortable around Simon. She smiled, "I've never been here before. It's lovely. She glanced around, admiring the classic decor and serene ambiance. Suddenly, her eyes locked onto instantly. a man at the entrance. Her expression darkened "Ashton?" It had been so long since Chloe had seen him that she had almost convinced herself he no longer affected her.

But the moment their gazes met, she knew that wasn't true. To her, Ashton was still a re Serena also noticed Ashton, her brow furrowing. "Ashton?" Simon, unfamiliar with him, looked puzzled. Just then, a voice came from behind Simon. "Long time no see, Ms. sought you out since that day, yet here we are." Gray, Ms. " ore," Ashton sneered. "What a coincidence. I haven't Chloe's face was cold. "Seeing you is like finding a fly in my soup-disgusting. We're done. Just let me go." Ashton smirked and patted Simon's shoulder. "Is this your new flame?

You're worried he'll find out I was your ex-husband, so you're desperate to drive me away?" "Stop making things up. You and Chloe were never truly together," Serena snapped. Ashton burst into laughter, pointing at himself. "Me? Lying? The whole city knows about our marriage." Chloe lowered her gaze, thinking, 'Simon didn't know any of this. Now that he does.

She stared him-his expression icy, his demeanor unrecognizable from the gentleman she had come to know. Even Ashton was caught off guard.

His last stunt, trashing Serena's studio, had backfired spectacularly, landing him at the police station and then under home confinement. His parents had just freed him today. He knew he couldn't afford to cause another scene. Otherwise, his allowance would be cut for a year. No way was he sacrificing his fun for Chloe. With a final glare, he slunk away. Even after Ashton left, Chloe kept her head down.
