The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 402

Foreman stood up with a warm smile, pulling out the chair for Stella in a gentlemanly gesture.

"You're not late—it's me who's early."

Stella had never been in a romantic relationship before. The man she'd spent the most time with in the past was Antoney Watson.

But they'd known each other for so long that meals between them were casual affairs, devoid of any such niceties.

After marrying Haynes, Stella rarely went out to eat. And even on those rare occasions, Haynes never once pulled out a chair for her.

Now, faced with Foreman's thoughtfulness, she found herself a little caught off guard by his chivalry.

She called over the waiter and turned to Foreman with a smile. "Order whatever you like don't hold back. Dinner's on me."

Foreman's smile was gentle. "Alright, thank you."
