A CEO's Revenge Marriage Accidentally in Love

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Tobias

The former Mrs. Darling has surprised me yet again. I took her to a nice Italian restaurant, thinking she would be grateful. And while Hannah seems happy, she is studying the pizza menu.

I chuckle in my seat, and Hannah snaps her head, looking at me like a deer caught in headlights. “What? Have I done something wrong?” She looks around as if she is nervous. I’ve done something wrong, haven’t I? This is an incredibly fancy place, and I don’t fit in…” Oh… Hannah thinks she doesn’t fit in?

My heart grows soft, and I offer her a smile. Hannah is precious. When I’m with her, I’m afraid the wind, the earth… life will take her away from me. And I don’t want that. I want to keep her safe from it all.

“You’ve done nothing wrong,” I tell her, hoping to remove that worried look from her face.” Is any dish catching your eye?”

“The pizzas, especially the one named Milano.”

I bite back a smile and flip to the pizzas myself. Since Hannah is honest about what she wants, I should follow in her footsteps. This will be fun. She is a refreshing breath of air. Anyone else would order the expensive food, especially since I’m paying, but not this woman.

“I might take the Milano myself…” I eye the minced meat pizza and my mouth waters. “Yeah, I think I will take the same as you.”

“That’s not how it works!”

My lips curve into a confused smile. “Excuse me?”

“You heard me!” Hannah’s eyes are vast, and she looks wild and crazy when she meets my gaze. Her sunglasses are perched on her head, and her face is shiny with sunscreen. “You have to order a different pizza from me so we can trade slices with each other! Hasn’t anyone ever taught you that?! It’s common sense!”

My amusement grows. “Is it?”

“Yes! And you’re old-you should know this!”

“Old?!” I snort. “Thank you for that.”

“Fuck!” Hannah is panicking now. It’s hilarious to watch her face go from crazy to pale and then bright red when she sees me smiling. “That’s not what I… shit… I didn’t mean it like that! Wait. Why are you laughing?!”

Seriously? How can she not know? It’s impossible not to smile when she is such a weirdo.” Because you’re so silly.”

Hannah’s face is back to being red, and she squirms in her chair. “I’m not silly…”
