Chapter 289 A Good Ex Should Be Dead

Gavyn’s throat tightened, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

The famous Ms. Herrera from New York, whom Gavyn desperately wanted to get to know, was right before him.

Aylin still maintained a faint smile. She was calm and refused to say anything. No one had an inkling of the truth.

However, Gavyn already had an answer in his heart.

Knowing Aylin’s personality, she would have denied it if she was not Ms. Herrera.

Gavyn sat back in his chair. His head buzzed as though the world was spinning. Everything felt so unreal.

Ignoring Alisa’s puzzled look, Gavyn could not help but ask, “Why didn’t you tell me?” His voice was tense.

Aylin was actually Morgan Herrera. It was the artist that Gavyn had admired for many years. He wondered what else about her that he did not know.

Aylin glanced at Gavyn and did not answer.

“Alisa, come here, color this part.

Aylin lowered her head and focused on playing with the child again.

In just a few seconds, Gavyn looked at Aylin again as if there was already a thick barrier between them, which made him extremely sad. He felt it was difficult for him to get to know the real her anymore.

In the past, Aylin had been so dedicated and loyal to Gavyn, but he disdained her. Now she was so talented and outstanding that others looked up to her. He wanted to know more about her but had lost the right to do so.

So is this what it means every dog has its day?

It was obvious that Aylin was not as unguarded as before, and there was already a distinct gulf between them.

Now, the time had come for Gavyn’s turn to be upset and downhearted.

Gavyn’s heart ached at the thought of it. He wished he could return to the past and start all over again.

If I could do it all over again. If I could start all over again…

That meal was doomed to be off-putting for Gavyn. Even with the best food and wine, he had no appetite. So he only consumed some to fill his stomach.

Aylin fed Alisa very well, stirring the soup with a spoon and bringing it to the little girl’s mouth, one bite after another.

Gavyn’s gazes were fixed on Aylin, and he could not take his eyes off her.

Gavyn pondered why he did not notice Aylin was so dazzling back then.

Even the most ordinary movements were done elegantly with poise by Aylin. Her every gesture was full of graceful charm.

Gavyn thought he originally could have appreciated that beauty all by himself.

When Gavyn realized so many men were eyeing Aylin like a tiger watching its prey, he felt a strong displeasure. His steak-slicing action using a knife could not help but become more vigorous, and the sound of it scraping against the plate resonated. “Clack! Clack!”

Alisa noticed Gavyn’s strange behavior and asked with a confused look, “Aylin, what’s wrong with Gavyn?”

Aylin smiled lightly. “He likes to cut his steak like that. It’s okay. You eat your steak.”

Gavyn was speechless.

Aylin and Alisa were having a good time while Gavyn found his food tasteless.

When Alisa ate the third cream ball, she heard a familiar cry.

A beautiful woman with brown curly hair rushed in and exclaimed, “Alisa! Mommy’s here. Where’re you?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Alisa threw herself into the arms of the woman up and down

The man who followed closely behind was sweating profusely and sizing the child anxiously. “Are you okay? Didn’t you say you’re going to the toilet? Why did you disappear?”

-Alisa pouted. “I got lost when I came out and couldn’t find you two anywhere. Daddy, you didn’t even look for me. How dare you criticize me!”

Aylin helplessly reminded, “She’s still young. You should pay more attention to her even though you two are lovey-dovey as a married couple.”

The man rubbed his hair in embarrassment.

The woman had an outright character. She did a 90-degree bow to Aylin. “Miss, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. She didn’t cause you any trouble, did she?”

“No, she’s a good girl.”

Hearing that, Alisa shook her head smugly.

Gavyn looked up with his deep gaze, and his expression was calm. “Both of you are adults. Didn’t you notice that she was missing?”

The woman was embarrassed and lowered her head slightly. “She usually goes to the child seat in the back seat by herself. We forgot today, and no one turned around to check if she got in the car, So…”

Wow, the young couple left by themselves and forgot about their daughter!

“She’s really fortunate to have met you two. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”

The man nodded at Gavyn and said, “Dude, you and your wife are so kind! I wish you all a peaceful life and a lifetime of happiness, harmony, and joy!”

Aylin was speechless.

The man thought he was witty, but Aylin’s eyebrows were twitching.

How do Gavyn and I look like we’ll have a prosperous union?

“Come on, Alisa, say goodbye to them.”

The beautiful woman did not stay any longer. She held Alisa’s hand and waved goodbye to Aylin and Gavyn. Alisa said in a childish voice, “Goodbye, Aylin, Gavyn!”

Aylin watched Alisa walk away until the latter disappeared from her eyesight before she withdrew her gaze.

Seeing that the dishes were almost finished, Aylin gracefully wiped her lips with a tissue. “It’s almost time. Let’s go.”

Aylin would be busy tomorrow.

Aylin went out first. Until they walked some distance, there were still longing gazes behind them.

The men marveled at Aylin’s beauty, and the women stared blankly at Gavyn’s handsomeness. They were such a perfect match standing together, which made men feel disappointed and women sad.

However, only Gavyn knew their way of getting along was not as sweet and happy as others thought.

The wind blew up a lock of Aylin’s hair, and the expression in Gavyn’s eyes became a little profound.

“Let me send you home.”

“No need.”

Aylin took the car key from her bag and declined politely, “I’ll drive myself.”

The wind seemed to have stopped, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Gavyn pursed his lips and looked at Aylin with his deep-set eyes. “You were the one who sent me here just now. It’s not the proper etiquette for a gentleman to ask a lady to drive back.”

Aylin could not help but snort and raised her eyebrows.

“Gentleman etiquette? Since when does Mr. Delacruz care about this when with me?” Aylin asked sincerely. She did not mean to mock Gavyn, but the latter understood the other way and became speechless.

Gavyn knew how badly he had treated Aylin in the past three years, so it was understandable that she rejected him now.

“It’s basic courtesy between business partners. Do you want to refuse too?” Gavyn’s deep voice sounded behind the woman.

Aylin opened the car door and turned back to glance at Gavyn. She was silent for a moment.

“Your wound hasn’t healed yet. Go back and rest.”

After saying that, Aylin closed the door and got into the car without allowing Gavyn to speak more.

Aylin did not dare and did not want to look at Gavyn anymore. The ambiguous atmosphere that morning put her in a daze. She was afraid she would blurt out the doubts in her mind. Why didn’t you treat me better when we were married?

Aylin did not like the feeling of being entangled with another person.

A good ex should act like he was dead. Even in one’s heart, it only left a tomb where flowers would not blossom.

Aylin wound down the car window to get some fresh air. Then, she sped to the hotel that David had mentioned.

The best five-star Louis Vuitton hotel in the area, with a nice exterior decoration, was the type that Aylin favored.

[I’m here.] After getting out of the car, Aylin sent a message. As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she met David, who looked like a bitter melon from a distance.

Aylin asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Who pisses you off?”
