Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

She couldn't help but compliment him, feeling uplifted as she hummed a tune on her way back to her bedroom to change clothes.

Upon hearing her words, Abner looked down, his lips curling into a smile as he awkwardly continued to adjust his cuffs.

When Shirley arrived at the restaurant and sat down, she immediately noticed Mark at a nearby table.

Mark was having a casual dinner with classmates from his major, just a small gathering of four.

His face turned red with anger upon seeing Shirley and then Abner.

"Who's this? Shirley, you got a new boyfriend?! How could you move on so fast, you never really liked me!"

Shirley frowned at his temper tantrum.

Realizing he had overreacted, Mark tried to regain his composure.

Shirley wanted to move to a different table, but the restaurant was too popular, and there were no spare tables. Plus, the restaurant was known for its fresh seafood.

She sat across from Abner and ordered a must-try combo, then handed the menu to Abner.

"See anything you like?"

Mark glared at Abner as if trying to set him ablaze with his gaze.

Abner, unfazed, made his choices.

"Shirley, let me treat you. I won some money from a chemistry contest," Abner offered.
