All Chapters of MY EX HUSBAND REGRET AFTER DIVORCING ME : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ARIANA'S POV "Happy birthday, Grandpa," Nathan said flatly. He offered a faint smile, while Sophia did her best to appear warm and likable in front of the elderly man."Happy birthday, Mr. Richard. It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person. Nathan has told me how kind and thoughtful you are, and it's truly an honor to be here celebrating your birthday with you," Sophia said, wearing a sweet smile.But Mr. Richard didn't pay attention to her. He didn't even acknowledge her greeting. Instead, he turned to Nathan with a puzzled, displeased look."Who is this young lady, Nathan? Why did you bring her to my birthday party?I don't think Nathan has introduced Sophia to his family since they started dating, which explains why Mr. Richard didn't recognize her.Then again, considering how strict Mr. Richard is about accepting new people into the Bennett family, Nathan was probably waiting for the right opportunity to introduce her."Mr. Richard, let me introduce you to Sophia Sinclair, m

ARIANA’S POV"No..." The word escaped my lips before I could stop it.I wasn't denying that the necklace belonged to Mrs. Eleanor. What shocked me was how it had fallen out of my small handbag. It felt as though an invisible force had struck me. How was that even possible?Mrs. Eleanor's voice, along with my own, instantly drew everyone's attention to me."Yes, this is it! This is the necklace my husband gave me!" she cried out emotionally.Sophia carefully placed the necklace into her hands."You thief! You stole Mrs. Eleanor's necklace, didn't you?" Sophia's expression, which had been full of concern just moments ago, suddenly turned into one of anger and disgust as she pointed at me."Oh, my God! How could this happen? If Ariana didn't steal Mrs. Eleanor's necklace, then how did it end up inside her handbag? Ariana, how do you explain this to all of us?"Her question left me speechless. I had no idea how to answer. Everyone stared at me, waiting for an explanation, and the silence

ARIANA'S POV That means reporters will most likely be there because they would like to interview the owner of this restaurant, which is me.The thought of facing such a large crowd made it hard to breathe."Hey, what's wrong? Don't you like the idea? If you don't want to do the interview, I'll make sure there won't be any media coverage at all," Damian said. He must have noticed the change in my expression.I shook my head.I didn't want to disappoint them. I would do my very best, even though the thought of standing in front of so many people made me nervous.I took a deep breath and reminded myself to stay calm.No one would be there to judge me or accuse me of anything. There was no reason to be afraid.No need. I can handle it.”Damian smiled after hearing my answer. "This is the Ariana I know."After Damian left, I went back to the kitchen to help my staff prepare the orders as customers started arriving for the day.I had just finished washing my hands at the sink and was about

NATHAN'S POV "Nathan, I'll might be home late today. I want to spend some time with Olivia since it's been so long since we last saw each other. I hope you don't mind. See you at dinner, my love," my wife, Sophia, said over the phone."See you later," I replied before ending the call.She had finally reunited with her old friend after more than five years. I had just finished meeting with a client and was driving back to my apartment when the lively view outside caught my attention.I was in New York for a business trip and to take a short vacation. It had been a long time since my last visit, and I was thinking of stopping by Bennett Corporation, where my brother, Damian, worked."The weather is beautiful today, sir. Are you sure you want to head back to the apartment already?" Dain asked.I looked up at the clear blue sky. Most days, I barely noticed the weather because my life revolved around meetings and long hours at the office.After five years of marriage to Sophia Sinclair, I

NATHAN'S POV The place was simpler and much minimalist than I expected from everything Sophia said about the buzz surrounding this restaurant.The food stalls were neatly lined up, and similar ones could be found in almost every part of the city. So, what exactly made this place special?The moment I stepped out of the car, the lively atmosphere of the restaurant caught my attention. The place was crowded with guests, while children and members of the press moved around, covering the event."The owner provides free meals every Monday morning until noon for children from orphanages, so they can eat to their hearts.Dain told me what I didn't know as we walked inside, taking in the different guests around us.Our table had been reserved at the back, a little away from the crowd and the commotion.Interesting. I guess that's what made this place so popular in such a short time. Who's the owner?Whoever the owner is, they don't seem concerned about making a loss. Either he or she isn't
