Chapter â
eyesight is amazing! How did you manage to spot him even though he just showed a bit of his face Celeste said, âHeâs quite good looking. Did you notice the way he looked at you? His eyes were shining.â
âShining? Donât be ridiculousâ
Mikayla enlarged the photo again.
Michael was sitting next to her.
Even though only half of his face was captured, his handsome features and the gaze he directed at her were evident.
His smile was bright, and his eyes were gentle.
âThere was a table of steaks and beers in the second photo. Did you have dinner with ?â Celeste asked.
âNot him, but them. There were five or six of them,â Mikayla corrected, âAnd that guy youâve seen before. I bought a suit for him when we went shopping at the mall last time. Heâs Michael.â
âOh, itâs him? You and him seem to be fated.â Celeste asked, âIs he the one Jerome was talking about?â
âYes.â
âDid he agree to the divorce only after you two had a fight?â
âWhat are you trying to imply here?â Mikayla retorted.
âIâm wondering if there is a possibility,â Celesté made a bold guess, âthat Jerome saw the photos you posted on Instagram and went to the steakhouse because he was worried?â
âHe saw you standing next to Micheal and got upset, thatâs why he criticized him. After taking you home, thinking youâd explain. But instead, you explained nothing and brought up the divorce, so he agreed anger Hearing Celesteâs analysis, Mikayla sneered.
âFirstly, Jerome wonât check his Instagram. Iâve posted so much before, and sometimes I even mentioned him directly, but he never responded. Once he got annoyed and told me that he didnât have the time for âSecondly, Jerome went to the steakhouse because he an appointment. When he got out of the car, he even had his assistant with him. Besides, Jeromeâs always acting weird. Heâs just a possessive man.
âAs for what you said about him agreeing to the divorce in anger, that isnât true at all. If Jerome were that emotional, could he manage Miller Group so efficiently?
âTo sum it up, your analysis makes no sense,â Mikayla .
But Celeste Insisted she was right.
âJerome is human too, not a robot. Why canât he have emotions? You think his reaction to Michael is possessiveness, but in my opinion, itâs a form of jealousy.
Jealousy?
Mikayls round it somewhat ridiculous.
Would Jerome ever feel jealous?
âIf you donât believe what Iâm saying, how about we make a bet? If you two are not divorced by tomorrow, itâs because Jerome had changed his mind,â Celeste remarked.
Mikayla chuckled.
âThereâs nothing to be afraid of. Since he agreed to divorce, heâll keep his promise. Heâs not the of person who goes back on his word Having said that, Mikayla didnât want to continue this topic with Celeste anymore.
She changed the subject and asked, âWhen do you and Dr. Chance plan to return?â
âSoon, probably tomorrow or the day after. Letâs meet and catch up then.â
âSure!â Mikayla then asked Celeste about the female classmate of Nolan.
Since Celeste started sending food to him regularly, the lady had kept a distance from him and refrained from acting excessively.
Celeste also picked some presents for her parentsâinâlaw recently.
The two chatted about Ansoft for a while before ending the call.
Mikayla tossed her phone aside and lay on the bed.
Celesteâs words had left her somewhat uneasy.
Would Jerome really regret their divorce?
The next morning, Mikayla woke up past 9:00 am.
She had been anxious about the divorce all night long that she wasnât able to sleep at all.
She got ready and went downstairs.
Amy already had the breakfast prepared.
*Amy, has Jerome left?â
