Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Hearing the word "disdain" escape her lips, Abner's brow furrowed deeply.

He had never thought this way before; Shirley was incomparable to him, her significance towering over everyone else's combined. Just the thought of her marrying someone else was enough to turn his inner world into a barren wasteland. Shirley held a place in his heart that no one else could ever occupy, having dazzled him time and again throughout the years.

"Shirley..."

He pulled her into an embrace, "All I care about is whether or not you like me."

Shirley swallowed hard, the word "like" circled her mouth before being swallowed back down.

Abner felt uncertain, wanting to ask again, but knowing some questions were better left unasked. He guided her to the dining table, serving her some food.

"Let's eat something first."

Shirley's legs were weak, and seeing his contented expression made her cheeks flush with color.

Abner hardly ate, spending most of the time watching her. She ate quietly and elegantly, and her cheeks reddened further upon noticing his gaze.
