Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Zoey felt like she was under surveillance, an uneasy sensation that left her at a loss for words.

Henry, sensing her discomfort, attempted to break the ice. "Zoey, how did your parents' check-up go last time?" "They're both pretty healthy, thankfully."

"And you? Didn't you have a check-up too? How did that turn out?"

"All clear, everything's good."

Relief washed over Henry, his lips curving into a soft smile as he peeled a shrimp for her.

Henry had a gentle nature, and at thirty, was at an age where both men and women found their stride in charm.

Every time Zoey dined out with him, she was pampered and cared for.

This was the kind of simple, unassuming happiness she desired. Besides, her parents were right; Henry's family lived in Zion City, making future visits convenient. She certainly didn't fancy the idea of moving far away - it would make visiting her parents quite a hassle.

Today, she had planned to discuss all this with Henry and to officially define their relationship.

But with someone obviously eavesdropping next to them, she felt too embarrassed to bring it up.

Fitch had ordered his meal but hadn't touched his utensils, sitting quietly like a human surveillance device.

Every time Zoey glanced sideways, she caught his gaze, adding to her discomfort.

Barely half an hour into the meal, and Zoey couldn't take it anymore.
