The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 76:

The place was upmarket, and the drinks here were far from cheap. Randolph wasn't one to lend money to an old flame. Chances were he would pay her back. By doing so, he would create a debt, so she would end up repaying, keeping them in constant contact.

When Randolph noticed Rachel approaching, his expression immediately darkened. “What's the problem?” he asked sharply. Rachel stepped forward, preventing the cashier from completing the transaction.

He spoke softly, “Have you made your choice?”

Randolph, clearly annoyed, replied, “Yes, I’m about to pay. Why are you interfering?” He motioned for the cashier to proceed with the transaction, and the woman smirked.

Alice looked at the scene, but she didn't want to get involved in someone else's emotional problems. So she quickly scanned the room and decided to head towards the back door.

Caden noticed her and followed her with his eyes, curious about what she was doing. He watched as she approached a group of waiters and whispered something to them. At first, they were hesitant, shaking their heads, but then Alicia showed them something on her phone. Their faces lit up and they agreed enthusiastically.

Caden smiled in satisfaction, intrigued by the turn of events.

Rachel, who was usually passive at home, never dared to contradict Randolph. She lacked the courage to say that he spent money on his ex-girlfriend. Not wanting to seem awkward, she forced a smile and asked, “Did you choose the wine?”

Randolph, feeling that his interruption was untimely, replied coldly, "If I hadn't chosen it, why would I pay?"

Rachel glanced at her ex-girlfriend, who gave her a polite smile in return. At first glance, the woman seemed considerate and remained silent throughout the exchange. But only another woman would understand how cutting that smile really was.

Rachel wasn't concerned about money; she just didn't want to give the woman any advantage.
