The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

Chapter 57: Biggest Bouquet of Flowers Airina placed the car keys on the desk, sighing deeply as she stared at Evan who looked away with a click of his tongue. He returned the car keys to Jackson but then he gave it back to Airina to pass it to him again. It felt like a cycle. He coldly folded his arms, furrowing his eyes.

“Why did you accept the car keys, Rina?”

“I didn’t, he left it to me. While I don’t need it, so why don’t you use it?”

In that instance, Evan laughed out loud – in a mocking, hostile tone that Airina had never heard from him before. It was evidence that his grudge to Jackson was deeper than she felt for him.

“If I ever touch that again, that only means getting mad at him was pointless if I don’t stand in that belief.”

Airina understood his feelings because other than Kevin, Wendy, and the whole Halton family, Evan was one of them who got so furious that he ripped the marriage contract that Jackson handed to them back then.

But what he couldn’t understand was his own sister, coming back to him to pass the returned car keys to him.

“Do you still like him, Rina?”

“What are you saying? I just came to give this to you and you’re having your wild imaginations…”

He motioned his hands, “I am serious, it’s been almost three months and yet Jackson was still chasing you.”

Airina scoffed, “So you do know what he was doing?”

He mocked, “How could I not? Matthew updates me daily.”

Expecting the same culprit, she grunted. “That Matthew is still a nosy busy.”

“Sister, I don’t really care whoever you want to spend your life with as long as he could give you his life, and love, would care for you, and would of course not leave you alone whatever life has to offer.”

Airina nodded her head. “I know, I know you care about me. But do know that I won’t give him a chance..”

“But what you’re doing now is nothing but… giving him chances.”

Airina clicked her tongue, releasing a scowl when she heard that. But she didn’t know why she felt irritated watching Evan’s suspicious eyes scanning her. Airina felt uncomfortable to stare like that.

“I-I will do my things, don’t worry.”

Evan chuckled. Airina might be denying it, but it was true from her gaze that she felt guilty – her feelings may not be that deep or she hadn’t acknowledged it but he knew what she looked like when in love. She definitely looks timid, bashful, and shy. It was all written on her face.

“T-that,” and to extinguish the embarrassing atmosphere, she asked rather promptly, “T-then, how come you’re alone today? Where is your girlfriend?”

“She is at the school; I will also go there. I just have to clean this mess.”

Airina looked around. She had only realized until now that other than this same spot, the other sides were all drenched with the mess, the plastics, or anything. The smell was also quite the… sketchy. She smirked at him teasingly.

“Hey, dear brother. Make sure to use protection, all right?”

“Protection? What are you…” In an instant, he blushed all over, and yelled to correct her misconception, “W-what are you saying? I am still young, you!”

Airina laughed, still jesting at him and deciding to leave him alone. “I know, I know. You don’t need to get so shy.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Sister, I really…”

“No need, I understand…,” she teasingly giggled, “So does papa.”

“Sister!”

“Haha.”

Airina cleared her throat, furrowing her eyes at the boundless bouquets of flowers inside her office. It.. wasn’t like this yesterday so how come it was occupied with such… distinct flowers? She was sure she had told Jackson not to send more flowers as she felt like she was becoming allergic to them.

She nudged Matthew, “Don’t tell me you sent these to me for our friendship?”

Matthew disgustingly stared at her, “What the hell are you saying? I won’t give you a bouquet, a single flower may be, but a bouquet more so these… I don’t know how many these are, but they were not definitely from me.”

Airina gritted her teeth, waving her hand near her nose to stop the flowery smell wafting inside her nose. Fortunately,  she saw the same delivery man who wasn’t done putting the flowers. In the meantime, he was carrying the biggest bouquet of them all – a Shenzhen Nongke Orchid. The deliveryman handed it over to her, setting a small card into her hand. But before he could leave, Matthew stopped him.

“M-Mister! From whom are these flowers?”

The deliveryman saluted, “Ah, this delivery was made by Mister Daniel. Then, I should go.”

Airina dropped her jaw, blinking her eye at the flowers that feel like heavenly expensive. Most of the present flowers here was something she didn’t know existed.

Matthew pondered, “Daniel, hm. Is this your new man?”

Airina grunted, aggressively giving the bouquet to his hands, and saying, “Take care of these well.”

“H-hey, wait! Ai-Rina!”

Left alone, Matthew scoffed in disbelief. How come he became a bridge for some love story for his cousin? In anger, he kicked one of the small bouquets with a groan.

“Unfair!!”
