A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 34

Not only that, before James left the private room, he also grabbed her phone from the table. He opened the door and strode out, never once looking back.

Her ragged dress lay on the floor, completely ruined.

Everything was quiet for a few minutes. Maria understood why James had torn her dress. He didn't want her to leave the private room. He didn't want her calling for help, either.

But he had underestimated her.

Lorenzo was badly injured. He was about to walk out of there with James, when the door to Maria's room opened.

It was her, alright. James looked at her and his eyes narrowed.

She was now wrapped in a black cloth. The bites on her neck were still visible, but she wasn't naked.

She had cannibalized the curtain to make this impromptu outfit.

Before coming out, she managed to dislodge the curtain and its rod and wrapped herself in it.

Seeing James was ready to leave, she fought down the complex emotions in her heart and stared at him. She opened her mouth to say something.

Her eyes met James's. He knew this wasn't going to go well the moment the woman's red lips were parted.

"Hey James. So you couldn't last longer than a minute, huh? I know some ED experts I could put you in touch with. I'll make an appointment for you." She seemed unusually attuned to James' feelings, and she didn't feel mortified at all.

Lorenzo couldn't believe his ears. How could Marie say things like that? And in public, no less! It just made him hate Maria more.

All the other patrons were highly amused. So the mighty James Xi finished early. Only one minute, too! Astounding! The cafe got quite noisy after that, with hushed whispers and laughter.

But no one got loud about it, or took pictures. The few that did were handled by the waiters, who either shushed them or escorted them off the premises. Most of them just exchanged meaningful glances with each other.

James' headache had spread to his temples. Maria must be doing this on purpose. He didn't care if she had forgotten how good he was. But to humiliate him in public like this? That was too much! It was a burning shame for a man.

He strode towards the woman, who stood there with a smug face.

Seeing the man approaching her, Maria got frightened.

Without hesitation, she turned and ran back to the private room and locked the door from inside.

Soon enough she heard a knock on the door. "Come out here, Maria. You and I should talk!"

There was a trace of irritation in his cold voice. Maria was not that stupid. If she went out to talk with him right now, she'd probably be thrown into the street naked.

In fact, she knew James too well. After catching her, that was precisely what he'd do. She didn't intend to put herself through that.

James swore inwardly that he would never set foot in this coffee shop again!

Not only would he never come here again, but he'd also ban the twenty thousand employees of HL Group as well.

"James Xi, if you're a real man, just bring me some clothes. Then I'll go out and face you."
