Chapter 235 This Is Her Ex-husband
Jenny rolled her eyes at the pickup line. “Mr. Pearson, I don’t mind if you want to flirt around with women,
but please stay away from my friends.”
“Don’t be so heartless, Jenny. We’re friends, too.” Max sat down in front of Jade and smiled. “Hi. I’m
Jenny’s friend, Max Pearson.”
Jenny was speechless. Compared to her, Jade seemed much calmer. Little boys like him always amused
her. “Hello. I’m Jade Weston. You may call me Miss Jade.”
“Miss Jade?” Max frowned. “That’s like calling you my elementary school teacher.”
Jade chuckled. Jenny was about to speak, but then another figure appeared. She looked up and saw
Alec.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlec was feeling a tirade of emotions. He noticed that Jenny had stopped talking and thought she didn’t
want to see him. Apologetically, he said, “Sorry. I’ll take him away at once. Sorry to have bothered you.”
“Don’t be so anxious to leave. I haven’t eaten anything yet.” Max didn’t want to leave. It was rare for him
to find someone who could be on the same wavelength as him. It’d be a shame if he left.
Alec’s face darkened. He glared at Max. “Are you leaving or not? Don’t make me punch you.” He could
control himself in front of Jenny, but he had a limit.
*Alec Faust!” Max thought Alec simply wanted to antagonize him, but now, he was clearly trying to ruin
his shot at happiness.
Just before Alec was about to strike, Jade said, “Since you’re Jenny’s friend, you may sit down with us.
What do you think, Jenny?”
Jenny had no choice but to nod under Jade’s gaze. “Yeah. They can sit.”
“Sit down, please. I’ll get the waiters to bring us some more food.” Jade nodded at Alec and beckoned for
a waiter to come over.
Truthfully, she wasn’t that generous. She merely saw that Jenny and Alec had a long history and wanted
to know more about it. After all, it was about Jenny’s happiness. The entire village took that very
seriously.
Alec was embarrassed, but he didn’t refuse. He wanted to have a meal with Jenny, too, so that she could
forgive him.
The meal was now amongst four people. The atmosphere instantly changed, but of course, with a
chatterbox like Max around, it wasn’t quiet. Only Jenny and Alec stayed silent, while Max and Jade got
along well.
“Why are you so aloof, Alec? Aren’t you going to explain yourself to Jenny now that she’s here?” Max
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcouldn’t take it anymore. He’d even spoken on his behalf, and here he was, not making a single peep.
Alec glared at him. Max needed to learn to shut his trap.
Jade smiled, asking, “Explain what? He and Jenny…”
“Don’t you know?” Max was surprised. He thought Jenny and Jade were very close, so she should know
everything.
Jade shook her head. They were close in the village, but after Jenny left, they talked less. Jenny didn’t
tell her much about the things that happened in the city.
“You probably know about Jenny’s divorce, don’t you?” Max asked.
Jade nodded. She’d heard the villagers talk about this.
“Well, this person right before your eyes is her ex-husband.” Max pointed at him.
Alec was pursing his lips. He wished the floor would swallow him whole. Max had introduced them as if
this was something to be proud of, and Alec was rendered speechless.
