Semua Bab Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go: Bab 181 - Bab 190

Once they sat down, she realized this was a barbecue joint.For once, Aria felt like stress-eating, so she ordered two of everything on the menu."Bring me a beer," Aria called to a young server walking by.Archer frowned slightly but didn't say anything, quietly wiping their utensils, glasses and plates.Before he could even dry the glasses properly, Aria grabbed one and filled it to the brim. Using the excuse that the ribs were too spicy, she barely touched the food but knocked back bottle after bottle of beer.Archer watched Aria sitting across from him—face flushed red, eyes unfocused, barely able to sit upright—as she slurred, "Archer, I think I'm kind of sad.""I knew Larry was a player, I stopped expecting anything from him ages ago. But why did Sophia have to betray me?"We used to be so close. She even stood up for me when guys were being creeps. I'll never forget that. But why... I thought I knew her, but I never really knew her at all. I had no idea someone could be s

"Larry called you last night, but you were pretty wasted and wouldn't wake up, so I didn't bother you. He called a few more times after that, but I didn't want him disturbing your sleep, so I blocked his number." Archer's face was hidden behind the newspaper, his voice as flat as ever."Mm," Aria responded. Good thing he blocked him—she had nothing to say to Larry anyway.At least right now, she didn't even want to see his face, let alone talk to him.Archer glanced up from his paper again, eyeing the phone by Aria's hand—the one he'd placed there before she came out."Not going to unblock him?" Archer asked casually.Aria paused, catching his meaning, then said, "There's no need to stay in touch."Archer said nothing more and went back to his newspaper.Aria quickly finished breakfast. Only after she was done eating did Archer get up to leave. She hurried to grab her bag and phone to follow him.Sitting in Archer's car, Aria felt awkward.She stole a glance at him—he was wear

Archer's eyes darkened, "After all these years, the Luther family still can't control Wendy?""You know how it is—the Luther family has mostly boys. Wendy's our only girl, so everyone spoils her."Archer's face remained cold, but he didn't say much more. After a moment, he said flatly, “Then you better make sure the Luther family teaches her some manners. If she ever causes real trouble, the Duncan family won't coddle her like the Luther family does."Archer had put his cards on the table.If Wendy dared to mess with Aria, Archer would make her pay.Besides, the Duncan family was in Harbour City while the Luther family was in Andes City. They weren't even in the same region and rarely collaborated. Only William had any real friendship with Archer. If it came down to it, the Luther family probably couldn't protect Wendy."Alright, I'll talk to my parents about this."William thought to himself that someone should have reined Wendy in ages ago, before she caused more chaos every o

Henry: "..."Henry looked blank for a moment, "Oh."Kent felt another headache coming on."Also, bro, whenever the boss buys something for Mrs. Duncan or does something to help her behind the scenes, we can let Mrs. Duncan know about it. Right now their relationship isn't that stable yet, and as the boss's right-hand men, we should definitely help boost his reputation with Mrs. Duncan!"After Kent spelled it out this clearly, Henry finally got it completely. Then he was quiet for a moment, "Are we two..."He pointed at himself, then at Kent,”Like the NPCs in novels or TV shows who help the male and female leads get together?"Henry instantly understood his role and even confidently pushed up his glasses."I know what to do now."Hearing Henry say this, Kent felt inexplicably nervous.Did Henry really know what to do?......Aria had no idea about Kent and Henry's conversation. She was standing next to Archer, still seeming worried about those two paintings.Even though she'

He wasn't there when she got married—he wasn't even in the country.So Aria thought Archer must have developed other feelings after having contact with her during those three years, and later coincidentally learned about that rather warm memory they shared in childhood.Henry also said that Archer would specially learn to make pastries at home because she liked mont blanc cakes. But while the Duncan family's eldest son was great at cooking, his dessert-making skills seemed to be completely switched off. The first time, the mont blanc cake turned into mush. The second time it was burnt on the outside and raw inside—so charred on the outside that people might mistake it for chocolate-flavored cake. Fortunately, Archer gave up on learning to make mont blanc cakes himself and went to that shop at dawn, worried he wouldn't be able to get her favorite pastries if he waited until morning.This was something Archer would do.Someone like Archer... who was clearly cold toward outsiders, alw
