Chapter 27


    In the corner, not far away, Duke couldn’t help but sneer, “Look at those two people over there.


    What did Simon Albert see to Ivy? She’s just a bitch. A gold-digger—What the hell, Wyatt?!” Duke


    eximed when Wyatt kicked his leg under the table.


    Wyatt followed Duke’s gaze, wearing his cold eyes. He gritted his teeth. He retracted his gaze away


    from the two and looked down at the food in front of him, which was tasteless. He started to lose his


    appetite.


    Duke Elrod got curious about how the newly opened restaurants work and also their menus, pulled


    Wyatt to experience it, and who would have thought that they would see Ivy in here?


    Why do Ivy and Wyatt always sh? Fate already separated them. Why does it seem like fate is


    trying to get them back together again?


    What if they’re really meant for each other? And their situations at this moment were just tests? God


    always had ns for us. So, it’s not impossible, Duke thought. However, he shook his head after.


    Still, he hated Ivy.


    Wyatt didn’t eat all the food on his te, making Duke sigh and call the waitress to clean the table.


    Duke, who always loves flirting, winked at the waitress.


    Wyatt stood up and started to walk towards the exit when Duke tugged his arm into Wyatt’s. “Aren’t


    we like lovers, honey?” Duke teased, wearing a gay tone.


    “Wyatt, Duke! Fancy meeting you here,” a man’s voice uttered, making Wyatt and Duke stop


    walking.


    In front of them is Eric Todd from the Todd family. He was also known in the business industry.


    Beside him is a female showbiz celebrity who had a chiseled face, round eyes, and curvy body,


    which they knew was Eric’s girlfriend.


    Duke sneered. “How did you get here?” he mocked.


    “L introduced the restaurant. So, wee to have a look and try a new experience. How about


    the two of you?” Eric arched his brow, “Isn’t this a restaurant for couples?” he added. Then


    suddenly, Eric gasped and covered his mouth. “Don’t tell me, one of you….”


    Wyatt snorted coldly and suddenly shortened their arms as he red at Duke.


    Duke let out a soft chuckle and then faced Eric.


    Eric arched his brow. “Are you leaving already? Why don’t you join us? It’s been a while since we


    had ourst talk, Reed,” he asserted, making Wyatt’s forehead slightly creased.


    As Eric couldn’t wait for Wyatt’s answer, he then dragged him down and sat on the table near them.


    Wyatt didn’t hesitate, but he shot a re at Eric.


    Then suddenly, Eric’s eyes passed through Wyatt and saw Ivy and Simon. “Hey, Wyatt, isn’t that


    Ivy?” he asked as he raised his chin in a gesture and crept a smirk on his lips.


    On the other side, the music was pleasant and was tempting Simon to dance. Suddenly, he turned


    to Ivy and stood up beside her, “Can I have this dance?” he asked, “at least let me experience this


    moment with you,” he added. Still, he’s wearing the pain of Ivy’s words earlier. He understands why


    she said those words, but the words are really hurtful to a man like him, who’s showing his love


    interest in her.


    Ivy sighed and didn’t want to embarrass Simon, she then reached for his hand, and they walked


    towards the dance floor.


    The song Can I Have This Dance in the movie High School Musical yed, but it was an acoustic


    version—slow, soft, and rxing.


    Music cheerfully ying, Ivy put her arms into Simon’s shoulders as Simon held her waist. They


    started to sway and jived into the harmonious rhythm of the song. And Ivy noticed that they were


    the only ones who were dancing. Even if she finds it awkward and wants to let go, she doesn’t want


    to embarrass Simon in front of the people’s cunning eyes as they gaze and watch them.


    And when Simon lifts up his head, his eyes grow bigger when he nces at the person on the right


    side of the restaurant. He looked down at Ivy, but thetter seemed unbothered and wasn’t looking


    at him. He sighed, and suddenly, an idea popped up into his mind.


    Simon then pulled Ivy’s and exchanged their position, making Simon’s back against the crowd. He


    lowered his head and hugged Ivy. However, this gesture will mislead people who are watching


    them. From the crowd’s perspective, they might conclude that they were kissing, making those


    people give them warm apuse.


    Before Ivy could push Simon away because of his sudden action, Simon pulled her back to their


    seat. He smiled and said, “thanks for tonight. Let’s go.”


    On the other hand, Wyatt can’t help but smirk when he sees what Simon did. However, something


    pierced inside him, and his eyes turned cold, and his aura became dark.


    Duke looked at the back of the two who were leaving the restaurant and snorted. “What the hell we


    had just witnessed? Excluding their kissing scene, Ivy dance gracefully, huh.”


    “She’s your ex-wife, Reed, right?” Eric suddenly spoke. He let out a soft chuckle. “How could she


    find another man that easy? What a whore,” he added.


    Hearing this, Wyatt nced at Eric through gritted teeth. “What did you just say?”


    Eric smirked. “Isn’t that she marries you because of your money? People knew about that. And


    we’re happy that you two divorced,” heughed, “I remember when you were just got married, we


    drank together, then suddenly, you went to the bathroom. You left your phone on the table, and she


    called. I answered it and warned her to know her ce. She doesn’t deserve you—” Eric paused


    when a loud thud came from the ss that Wyatt forcefully ced on the table.


    Seeing Wyatt’s expression, he might kill a person at any moment. His anger Is visible in his eyes.


    Eric was surprised and didn’t know what he had done wrong. And even his girlfriend was startled.


    “Wyatt—”


    “Why don’t you mind your own life, Todd? And don’t talk as if you knew everything. Deal with my


    personal life, and I will kill you,” Wyatt threatened. Anger lingered in his voice, making Eric’s face


    turn pale.


    After that, Wyatt stood up and left.


    Duke hurriedly chased after him, and he knew why Wyatt was so angry. It is because of Ivy again.


    Damn it, and they already separated, yet she’s still the reason for Wyatt’s anger.


    “Your face is so ugly, Wyatt. Chair up—”


    “It’s cheer, Duke—”


    “I know. I said it on purpose, and I know you will correct it. So, what’s with the reaction again?” Duke


    asked.


    Wyatt knew that he had overreacted, and he didn’t expect that he would lose control of his


    emotions. He knew Ivy hated him so much and hearing Eric’s confession about the phone call…


    again, he can’t help but think that it was one of Ivy’s reasons why she asked for a divorce.


    When will those lies from his family get over? However, it’s he who needs to catch the me. It’s all


    his fault. He admits he was an irresponsible husband. But he couldn’t feel any spark at those times,


    and he thought that being together was enough between Ivy and him.


    His chest suddenly felt heavy, and he started to feel irritated.


    “You and Ivy were already divorced. You shouldn’t get affected—”


    “Stop talking to me, Duke. I’m mad at myself at the moment,” Wyatt interrupted and walked bigger


    steps away from the restaurant. Suddenly, he stopped. “Anyway, the new restaurant is better than


    yours. So, better close it,” he added.


    “W-What? How could you—”


    “You suck in strategy. Sooner, you’ll get bankrupt if you don’t change it,” Wyatt asserted and left him
