Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 9

*Join us!* Jace agreed without consulting me.

Tanya sat down, looking at the food in front of her with a foodie expression. "Grilled fish, I've been craving this lately."

"Shall I order you some foie gras as well?" Jace's tone was casual,

"And add some dessert, yogurt ice cream with strawberry sauce, and orange juice," Tanya said, then turned to me, "Keira, would you like some orange juice too?" "No, I'll have water," I replied, putting a piece of fole gras into my mouth. It was smooth, delicate, with a faint milky aroma...

*Jace, was the foie gras you brought me before from this restaurant?" Tanya's words made me pause mid-chew.

I looked at him, noting his slightly stiff expression, "... Yes."

No wonder he knew the foie gras here was good. He had bought it for Tanya multiple times, while today was my first time having it-only because he felt guilty. Suddenly, the foie gras in my mouth lost its flavor, making it hard to swallow.

"No wonder the smell seemed familiar, Tanya said, smiling at Jace with a tender look that

made me feel stifled.

She then looked at me. "Keira, Jace must've brought you here often, so he knew the foie gras was good and brought it for me."

As if stabbing my heart wasn't enough, she twisted the knife. The feeling was utterly clear

now.

I looked at Jace. "No, this is the first time. I'm not as lucky as you, "Mrs. Blake'."

Tanya's smile faltered, and she lowered her gaze. "Desmond left me and... our child. Where's the luck in that?" Her voice quivered
