After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 629 A Piece of Gossip

Asher, who had been covertly watching the scene unfold while waiting for his coffee, suddenly realized he had completely forgotten the reason he had come. "Mr. Cooper, your coffee is ready!"

The server's voice echoed through the restaurant, making it impossible for Asher to remain inconspicuous. With a sheepish look, he rose awkwardly from his corner. "That's mine, my coffee!" Candy and the others raised their eyebrows, finally piecing together who had tipped them off.

Asher, holding his coffee, offered a strained smile. "Uh, would you mind if I joined you?"

And just like that, the dinner party grew from five to six.

Chloe wasn't bothered, and Candy seemed to brush it off. Wesley and Michael, being seasoned pros at social situations, were hardly phased.
