From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 31

Darren finished speaking and locked eyes with Howard, who simply responded, "Oh."

"That's it? Natalie is the one he had criticized countless times! Is he too shocked to say anything else? Darren thought. Darren felt a bit sorry for Howard but pressed on. "You two arent right for each other, so why don't you cancel this date?" "Darren," Howard suddenly turned to him with an understanding look. "I didn't realize you liked Nat so much."

"What? I don't" Darren frowned in protest. "She's just good-looking, but apart from that, she's a total mess. I'm not into her." "You're not into her, yet you're pretending to be her ex-husband! Howard shot back, cutting through the nonsense. "Why would I pretend?" Darren was getting frustrated. "Who would want to be her ex-husband?"

"Right, I wonder who would want that." Howard lowered his voice and continued seriously, "Vivian has always treated you so well. She's a talented doctor, and she even saved your life. You two are about to get married, so don't go having feelings for Nat"

"What? That's impossible! I'm her one and only ex-husband!" said Darren.

Howard maintained his indifferent tone. "Every guy who claims to be Nat's ex insists he's the only one."

Darren caught something important. "So there are others claiming to be her ex-husband?"

"Yeah. I just said, including you, there are a total of eight," Howard replied, pulling out his phone.
