All Chapters of Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Chapter 311 - Chapter 320

Watching as Renee poured herself another glass of red wine, Jasper caught her wrist. "I'll drink, so you don't have to."Taking the bottle of wine away from her, he chugged his own mug of gin.It singed his tongue, but he didn't stop despite his creased brow.Once he finished and put the mug on the table, he turned to hold Renee's gaze and asked, "Is this enough?"Renee, however, shook his hand off."How is that enough?" she asked, her lips curling in a smile as she poured him another mugful. "Your friends were just boasting how you wouldn't get drunk, and it's been some time since we've met—you gotta show me."The pink-haired woman finally had enough and sprang to her feet, bellowing, "Hey, aren't you out of—"The man beside her promptly clasped his hand over her mouth and pressed her back in her chair, whispering, "Are you crazy?! Can't you see who owns the floor?"And with that, no one was even breathing audibly, as they watched Jasper and Renee stand off against each other

Renee was really reluctant to tell Candy about all that mess she was involved in, since it would affect Candy's mood too.Instead, she said, "Was just having dinner with a friend. Have you eaten?"Candy shook her head. "Nope. Guess I should order takeout…"Renee sighed a little wearily. "That's fine, but you should at least learn to cook. You're an adult now—even if you're not going to cook for others, at least learn enough to cook for yourself."Candy pouted and shrugged. "I'm just bad at it—that's just like how everyone has at least one shortcoming. And since the captain used to cook for me anyway, I never had to learn."Then, seeing the food container on the table, she quickly changed the subject. "That reminds me—Mr. Zeller had me bring back the food container. Are you cooking for him tomorrow too? I'm working the early shift, so I can make the trip if you want.""Cook? No way—I'm not his maid!" Renee huffed, furious at the mention of Jasper. "I'm taking a bath, then I'll wal

Sam clenched his teeth in pain. "Shit, bro—that hurts! Come on, let's have a coffee or two, for old time's sake?"Jasper shook his hand off but said, "I guess I can."Sam rolled his eyes. "You and your vanity…"-Thirty minutes later, at West Coast Cafe, Renee arrived first and told Sam which seat she would take.It was on the forty-first floor of a skyscraper, and it offered a view of most of Harborview City.As Jasper and Sam arrived, they looked around before finding Renee by the window.There weren't many others around—it was early, so everyone was just heading to work or had yet to wake up.Sam went over, greeting Renee. "Good morning, Ms. Whitley."Renee was just admiring the view outside when she heard Sam, and she turned to find him… and Jasper.Hence, her eyes that lit up for just a second with her bright smile faded soon after.Still, she stood up and gestured invitingly. "Please take a seat, Mr. Larkin."Then, turning to Jasper, she said coolly, "You should get b

Renee was definitely smart enough to see that Sam wasn't quickly returning so that Jasper could speak with her alone, which was why she left so quickly.Still, Jasper growled sinisterly, "I could rip out your mouth since you don't want it."Sam promptly did a zipping motion over his mouth and stayed silent.Jasper appeared gloomy as he nursed his coffee, until he suddenly pulled out his phone to check the date. "It's only Wednesday?"Every day felt like years ever since he and Renee's argument.Sam dissed, "You're the boss. What difference does the day make?""You don't know shit."With those words, Jasper put down his cup, stood up, and left.-The next day, Sam went to Genome Tech alone to sign his employment contract and was immediately appointed as the head of R&D.Renee quickly relayed the good news to Alison, who was delighted and even called Jasper to thank him.Still, Sam turned down the nights' welcoming party, and Renee didn't push for it.As usual, she went for

Seeing that Jasper was positively glowing, Luke couldn't help imagining a peacock spreading its feathers."You look good, sir," he praised.Simon chuckled as he added, "Like you do every day, sir."Jasper frowned slightly, his dark gaze darting between both Luke and Simon as he could detect the undertone of sarcasm."You two can head home now," he growled, jumping in the driver's seat and speeding off, leaving both Luke and Simon behind, stupefied.Along the way to Bodhi Hotel, he stopped by a florist and bought a bouquet of pretty flowers.He got a call from Conrad halfway, and he answered, "What?""The boys are coming together for some drinks. Come hang out with us," Conrad replied."Busy." Jasper refused right then.He definitely wasn't in the mood—heaven knew how long he had waited for this Friday, and he had even gone out of his way to dress up."But Caspian brought his girl. Need you for the usual gatekeeping…""You can do it.""Wait, you're really not coming?" Conrad
