Sheena glanced at him and said, “That would be me.”
Skye initially did not understand her implication, looking puzzled until it hit him, and he slammed the Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“What? You’re his ex–wife?”
His exclamation was so loud that neighboring tables turned their gazes their way. looked over,

Even Elijah
Sheena glared at Skye in displeasure, and he immediately covered his mouth, only able to whisper
indignantly, “It’s good that you divorced him! He’s obviously nothing apart from his good looks! How
could a scumbag like him deserve someone like you?”
She chuckled, “So, I’m the unlucky one, eh?”
Skye’s face turned serious as he repeatedly shook his head, replying sincerely, “No! He’s the unlucky
one. He couldn’t hold onto a great woman like you, and that’s his loss.”
“But…” He paused, chuckling nervously as he continued, “Now that you’re single again, why not
consider me? A young guy like me can be charming, you know.”
Sheena was caught off guard by his remark, nearly choking on her juice and accidentally spilling some
on her white skirt.
“Sheena, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I’ll go clean this up at the restroom and be right back.”
With that said, she went to the restroom.
At the adjacent table, Elijah overheard their conversation clearly.
It had only been a few days since the divorce, and she was already with another man.
Just what was she thinking?
Elijah grew increasingly agitated but knew he had no right to question her choices since they were
already divorced. Nonetheless, he could not shake off the discomfort in his heart.
Jennifer noticed his change in mood and asked softly, “What’s wrong, Eli?”

Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, but she pouted, “Since I was abroad, we haven’t got to spend much
time together. Can you stay with me today?”
Elijah did not answer Jennifer’s question, and his expression was unreadable. Then, he gracefully
stood up and adjusted his clothes, saying, “Enjoy your meal. I have something to attend to. I’ll be right

“Eli!”
In the restroom, Sheena cleaned the juice stain from her skirt and touched up her lipstick. As she
looked at her reflection in the mirror, she was briefly lost in thought.
Throughout the three years of her marriage, she had been plain and unadorned, taking care of
household chores without any complaints. Her skin had turned sallow, and she never took the
time to dress up.
Nevertheless, she was ready to focus on her career and become the proud princess of the Lawson
family once again.
Men would only slow her down in her pursuit of her career.
While she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly noticed a tall figure entering the restroom.
Sheena did not even bother to look and continued washing her hands.
However, she heard the sound of the door being locked.
She raised an eyebrow in suspicion and finally looked up to see Elijah’s familiar and handsome face.
He walked toward her with a stoic expression, exuding an overwhelming sense of coldness.
Sheena looked at him in shock.
“Mr. Freeman, aren’t you the most powerful man in Farlem? I would never expect someone like you to
enter the women’s restroom, let alone lock the door. Are you a pervert?”
