Chapter 286 Did You Hurt Your Brain?
Aylin stared at him incredulously. âMr. Delacruz, this is my car!â
âI know. Iâll go to lunch with you.â
Aylin really couldnât understand Gavyn now.
During their time as husband and wife, she would bring him warm meals, but he was unable to reciprocate with a positive facial expression.
Now that they were divorced, he barged into her car for a free meal?
âGet out!â
Despite his injury, Gavynâs hand movements remained agile. He swiftly fastened his seatbelt and remarked, âYou just expressed gratitude towards me, and now youâre refusing to have a meal together?â
Gavyn slowly sat up straight and said confidently, âI did you a favor. Itâs not too much to have a meal together, is it?â
If emotions could materialize, there would definitely be three black lines on Aylinâs head at the moment.
These are two separate matters! How can they be lumped together?
Although Aylin was rendered speechless, she had a hunch that this individual wouldnât leave easily. Therefore, she swiftly closed the door and hurriedly got into the car.
Somehow, even her seatbelt seemed to be against her today. Aylin furrowed her brow and struggled to fasten it, letting out an irritated âtskâ after struggling for a while.
âIâll do it.â
Gavyn leaned closer to her, and Aylin could even smell the mellow and elegant cologne on him.
Gavyn circled Aylinâs waist with one hand and searched for a moment on the chair. Occasionally, the delicate watch on his wrist brushed against the hem of her thin skirt.
Aylin subconsciously leaned back, and the manâs low and magnetic voice sounded in her ears, âDonât move.â
The atmosphere was heavy, and the car was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
As he shifted, a familiar fragrance from Aylinâs hair wafted towards him.
Memories rushed back, causing a wave of emotions to engulf him.
After a while, he found the buckle of the seatbelt and fastened it for Aylin.
âDone.â
In the past, Gavyn had never done anything so tedious for her.
He simply helped her fasten the seat belt, yet the air around them seemed strangely warm. She let out a light cough and opened the car window slightly to let some fresh air in.
On the road, Aylin remained focused and composed, displaying a sense of familiarity with driving as she maintained a steady and swift pace.
Gavyn couldnât help but sigh again. After regaining her memory, Aylin was the real her. She had found her soul. She had all kinds of talents, and she was.
amazing in every way!
The car finally stopped in front of a western restaurant named TheForest.
Aylin skillfully turned back, parked her car, took her bag, and got out of the car.
The restaurant exuded an air of elegance, with predominantly brown-gray décor that had low saturation. The simplicity of the design added to its aristocratic ambiance.
In the center of the room, there stood a small stage. A cellist, dressed in an elegant gown, played a slow and enchanting melody on the stage. The music flowed like water, captivating the senses with its melodious rhythm.
As soon as they entered, the wait staff warmly greeted them, found an empty seat, and led them to sit down.
âWhat would you like to have?â
Gavyn passed the menu to Aylin first. âLadies first.â
Upon witnessing his gentlemanly behavior, the waitress couldnât resist commenting, âYou two truly make the most well-matched couple Iâve ever encountered. A perfect match!â
From the moment they entered side by side, they captivated the attention of everyone around. They exuded an extraordinary aura as a couple, with a perfect blend of temperament that would make anyone who glanced at them feel envious.
The waitress sweetly remarked, âMiss, you are incredibly fortunate. Your husband is not only handsome but also caring. If I had such a stunning wife like you, I would also cherish her dearly!â
Gavyn was very happy to hear that, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
He took out a few bills from his wallet and handed them directly to the waitress as a tip.
âThank you, thank you sir, you are so generous! Miss, your husband is so nice!â
Aylinâs eyebrows twitched slightly. She found it peculiar that the waitress automatically assumed that any man and woman together were a couple.
âWe are not husband and wife.â
The waitress was stunned, âHuh? But you guys clearly...â
They were clearly a match made in heaven! I have never been wrong before!
âEx-husband.â
Aylin said indifferently, âOnly married couples have a marriage certificate, and we only have a divorce certificate.â
Gavyn had a sudden reflex and choked on his saliva.
The waitress widened her eyes at the side. How could the man divorce such a beautiful woman? Is this man blind?
Suddenly, the waitress didnât think Gavyn was handsome anymore.
The waitress attentively introduced the newly launched dishes to Aylin, saying, âMiss, may I inquire about your preferred taste?
Our mushroom soup is highly recommended and happens to be our signature dish.â
With a lack of appetite, Aylin circled two dishes on the menu with a pen and said, âIâll have these, please.â
With that, she handed the menu to Gavyn.
Gavyn appeared to have made his decision beforehand as he used a pen to select multiple dishes from the menu. The waitress took note of his choices. but hesitated, saying, âSir, wonât this be too much food?â
Aylin stole a glance and saw that he had chosen roast meat toast, grilled anchovy steak, baked Alaska, clam chowder, Swiss roll, and a large portion of yogurt tomato salad.
Aylinâs eyes momentarily froze, and her hands clenched tightly for a brief moment.
These were all her favorite food. What is Gavyn up to?
âAre you sure you want all these?â Aylin had a complicated expression on her face.
Gavyn nodded firmly. âThey are just nice.â
Aylin pursed her lips with a complicated expression. âGavyn, tell me the truth. Did you really hurt your brain?â
Sitting across from her, Gavyn was furious.
In reality, Aylinâs words did not imply anything beyond her genuine concern that there might be an issue with Gavynâs brain, prompting the need for further examination.
However, from Gavynâs perspective, it appeared as if Aylinâs words were filled with mockery.
Why is it that Aylin can easily share laughter with other men, yet treats me with coldness and disdain? At the very least, they had slept in the same room for three years.
Gavyn frowned slightly. âCanât you talk to me nicely now? Do you have to treat me like this?â
Aylin was confused, âWhat did I do?â
Gavyn didnât know how to describe it, and he felt suffocated.
Annoyed, he tugged at his tie, his slender fingers appearing even more delicate and white under the light. This simple gesture caught the attention of the girls nearby, who frequently glanced sideways in his direction.
âYou werenât like this before.â Gavynâs voice was deep.
In the past, no matter what he did, Aylin would respond kindly.
As long as he wanted to, he could see the gentle and beautiful smile as soon as Get Bonus he turned around.
But now, there was no one behind him.
Amused, Aylinâs lips curled up slightly, with a touch of mockery. âAre you suggesting that Iâve changed? Mr. Delacruz never fails to make absurd remarks,â she remarked sarcastically.
She raised her eyebrows, âDonât you know why I became like this?â
She gazed at Gavyn with eyes so clear, it felt as if she could peer into his very soul.
Suddenly, Gavyn was flooded with memories of their three years of loveless marriage. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words escaped his lips.
Indeed, if it werenât for his cold treatment and negligence, Aylin wouldnât have changed so much.
The atmosphere, which was originally good, suddenly turned cold.
Aylin took a sip of her juice, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him. However, at that moment, an exclamation of âouchâ rang out.
