Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect by Henry Foster

Chapter 210

"Don't move!" Lucy sensed something was off. She picked up her fork, dipped it into the soup, and tasted it. "So salty!" She quickly gulped down a big glass of water. Fuming, she tossed the fork down. "Yasmine, Chuck has gone too far!" Yasmine couldn't help but chuckle, "Stop drinking it."

Everything seemed normal afterward, and Chuck's face was plastered with a formal smile throughout the meal. On the way back, Lucy's eyes conveyed an indescribable sadness and disappointment. "See, I told you, he doesn't like me." Yasmine consoled her, "Don't worry, maybe he hasn't come to his senses yet, or he's just too overwhelmed."

Lucy went home absentmindedly. After washing up, she lay in bed, her mind racing through the events at the bar that day. Glancing at her phone, it was already eleven o'clock,

Lucy closed her eyes, hoping to fall asleep, when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing the name on the caller ID almost made her drop her phone-it was Chuck. She hurried to answer but was so nervous that she accidentally hung up instead. Her heart skipped a beat at the sound of the dial tone, but then the phone rang again. She carefully picked up the call.

"What are you doing?" Chuck asked.

"H wasn't doing anything," Lucy replied.

The voice on the phone was urgent. "Come downstairs." Chuck's voice was insistent, and he hung up right after.

Lucy looked out the window to see Chuck standing downstairs by her house. Her breathing quickened, and she rushed downstairs in her pajamas. Chuck was leaning against his car, a cigarette in hand, watching the smoke swirl around his fingers.

The two were strangely silent. After a long pause, Lucy finally couldn't hold back and spoke up, "Why are you here?"

"Is the guy from tonight your boyfriend?" he asked, his tone hostile.

Lucy shifted her gaze nervously, "Yes."

"When did you start seeing him?" Chuck's eyes burned with fury as he questioned her. Was it before they got involved or after?

Lucy glanced at him uneasily, "It's none of your business."
