There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Hearing that Lucien invite her for dinner, Sylvie immediately said apologetically, "I am sorry, today is my father's birthday. I have to go back."

Sylvie's parents lived in the city near Riverside City. It took two hours to be there by car. Sylvie didn't have a car, she planned to grab a taxi.

She wanted to take a shower, go to buy the gifts for her father, then take the taxi home from the mall. She didn't have much time for her new boyfriend.

Lucien raised his eyebrows. "Your father's birthday?"

He thought his message was clear. Wouldn't she invite him a little even though just out of courtesy?

But Sylvie wasn't a sophisticated person. And more importantly, she felt it was not the right time to introduce Lucien to her parents yet. They had just started a relationship.

And she didn't think the relationship would last long. She didn't intend to introduce Lucien to her parents.

So, she didn't invite Lucien. She apologized again, "Yes, So I am afraid I won't be available tonight. Let's take a rain-check."

Lucien was pissed off.

Sylvie had entered the building after waving her hand to him. Lucien looked up to the blue sky and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

He knew that Sylvie didn't want a future with him.

Yet he comforted himself that although Sylvie was outgoing, she was very serious about the relationship. She wouldn't bring random guys to her parents' place. That was understandable.

Adjusting his mood, Lucien drove back to his place and stuffed many gifts in his car. He had them prepared beforehand.

He was determined to show up at Sylvie's father's birthday. So, he prepared the gifts immediately after knowing that Sylvie was going back with Nina and Cameron.

He had asked Nina what Sylvie's father liked. And the answer was tea, especially green tea. So, he had asked his friend to bring back some high-quality green tea from another city.
