Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 332

As dusk settled, Evander sat down to dinner with Sean and his daughter in the restaurant.

Loretta’s blatant attempts to charm Evander were so obvious that even the nearby waitstaff couldn’t help but notice.

Sean caught on, too. His hand paused mid-slice through his steak, and he frowned. “Loretta, a young lady should show a little more restraint.”

“I know, Dad!” Loretta answered, batting her lashes, convinced her expression was irresistibly cute.

Sean tried to remain impassive, but a flicker of disdain broke through his carefully controlled expression.

Was this really his and Laurinda’s daughter?

Evander swirled the wine in his glass, fingers resting lightly on the stem. “Mr. Rayburn, is dinner not to your taste?”

Sean relaxed his brow. “Not at all.” He picked up his glass and clinked it against Evander’s. “I heard you landed a partnership with Nebula Tech in Riverspire City, and plan to open a branch there?”

Evander’s eyes glinted with a faint smile. “My wife works in Riverspire City. Living apart for so long isn’t good for a marriage.”

Loretta’s grip on her fork and knife tightened. Her tone turned mocking. “Mr. Howard, isn’t your wife divorcing you?”

“Loretta!” Sean looked at her in shock.

“Dad, I’m just telling the truth. His wife doesn’t even love him—all she cares about is money.”

Sean clenched his wineglass, struggling to keep his temper. “That’s between husband and wife.”

When Evander didn’t reply, Loretta assumed she’d struck a nerve. She twirled a strand of hair around her finger and gave him a suggestive wink. “Mr. Howard, there’s plenty of fish in the sea—no need to tie yourself to a sinking ship. Isn’t there a saying, ‘A life saved should be repaid with a life’? Mr. Howard, what do you think of me?”

The restaurant staff exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief.

They’d seen shameless, but never quite like this.

Was Miss Rayburn out of her mind? The man clearly had a wife, and here she was, insulting the woman to his face and brazenly offering herself. Had women aiming for a homewrecker’s spot become this bold?
