A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 154

A group of people came out of the CBD Exhibition Center, talking and laughing around a young man. After bidding each other goodbye, James walked towards his Harkim under everyone's gaze.

Summer, who came to the meeting with James, took out an umbrella and held it above his head. She trotted a little ahead of him and opened the car door for him.

James sat in the back seat.

He looked at the patter of rain outside the window and suddenly asked, "Where is she?"

Summer intuitively knew that he was referring to Maria. She had already called Maria earlier, so she knew what Maria was doing. "Mr. Xi, she is now at Sunshine Valley Shopping Center, having dinner with Mr. Lu."

The next moment, the atmosphere in the car dropped a bit. It was a little depressing. James didn't say anything more.

But before they could reach an intersection, he instructed the driver, "Go to Sunshine Valley Shopping Center."

"Yes, Mr. Xi." The driver quickly turned on the signal light and changed lanes. They had to make a detour to go to Sunshine Valley Shopping Center.

Summer was having a second thought if she should inform Maria when the car pulled over in front of the restaurant on the first floor of the shopping center. James got out of the car and walked towards the door with an umbrella in his hand.

At that moment, Maria and Lawrence just walked out of the restaurant.

Lawrence took the umbrella from the driver and held it above Maria's head. They then walked together to the parking lot.

For James, the scene that the two of them were holding an umbrella together was an eyesore. He just stood in the rain with a cold face, quietly watching Maria stop and say something to Lawrence.

Then they both looked down at the ground simultaneously. No one knew what Lawrence answered to her, but she smiled.

Her smile hurt James' eyes even more.

Actually, when Maria and Lawrence came out of the restaurant, he took the umbrella from the driver and was about to send her home.

But after taking a few steps towards the parking lot, Maria remembered one important thing. She paused and said to Lawrence, "I can't wear my shoes in the rain."

The shoes she was wearing had suede soles. They were bought by James for her recently.

Lawrence lowered his head and followed her gaze. "It is indeed troublesome. How about I carry you to the car?"

Maria chuckled lightly. "Is it okay with you? I'm sorry for always making you carry me."

"Just think that I am rescuing you. You know, I have carried too many people in such circumstances." Lawrence basically rescued people by carrying them out. Both men and women were equal in his eyes.

All of a sudden, Lawrence sensed that something was wrong and someone was watching them.

He lowered the umbrella a little and looked in the direction where he felt the gaze was coming from. Then he saw James standing there with a long face.

James tossed the umbrella to Summer, strode over to them, and grabbed Maria's wrist.

Seeing him, Maria frowned. "Hey, why are you here?"

The smile on her face vanished at once, which annoyed James immediately. He pulled her out of the black umbrella that was being held by Lawrence with great strength.

Maria's mind was in her shoes. She felt sorry that they got wet in the rain.

James misunderstood the sad look on her face, and he got more furious. "Did I interrupt your date?" he asked.

Lawrence was rendered speechless.

Maria nodded calmly. "Yes, you’re right. We were enjoying our date, and you've ruined it."

James stared at her coldly. They already got drenched in the rain. She couldn't help cursing him inwardly for his craziness. Now, aside from her shoes, her hair was also messed up.
