The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO -
Chapter 190 - 186
Chapter 190: Chapter 186
I hadn’t heard from Damon for almost half a month, either in the real world or online.
My relationship with Jones had been the talk of the town. It even affected my dad, but Damon seemed unfazed by all the attention.
Turned out that he hadn’t been idle; he got over his issues with Ariel and chose to be with her.
I recall Damon asking me if I’d mind if he and Ariel got together.
"I wish you guys the best" I said while chuckling and looking calmly at Ariel.
"Eliana, I should thank you. If it weren’t for you and Jones being together, Damon might never have realized that I’m the one for him and chosen to accept me. So don’t miss our engagement party" Ariel said, pulling an invitation from her bag.
"I’ve had your invite ready for a while, just waiting to give it to you. Since I ran into you today, here it is."
I flipped through the invite. Damon and Ariel’s engagement party was at the end of next month.
The name ’Damon’ on the invite was printed in a uniform font; it was very conspicuous. I suddenly remembered that when we were getting married, I wrote the names and dates on our invites.
I used to think that writing invites for our wedding was the happiest thing.
"What the hell are we going to do that for?!" Sofia snatched the invite and tore it up, tossing it on the ground. "Ariel, can’t you have a little shame?"
Ariel just laughed, "It’s okay if you don’t want to come, you don’t have to. We just wanted to let everyone know so no one says we’re rude."
I pulled out fifty dollars from my bag and tossed it at Ariel, I won’t be attending.
" This is my gift to you. Given our relationship, thirty dollars should suffice, right?"
Ariel’s smile finally froze. Clearly, fifty dollars was an insult.
"Eliana, you’re going too far!" Ariel picked up the fifty dollars, fuming. "You’re with Jones now, what more do you want? Are you trying to play both sides, so you can have both Jones and Damon hopelessly in love with you?"
I stood up, looking down at Ariel sitting on the sofa, all worked up. "You’ve got a dirty mind, so you think everyone else is just as dirty"
"You..." Ariel was speechless with rage.
"Let’s go, Sofia," I said.
It was a bit uncomfortable to be in the same store as Ariel, who was probably here to pick out an engagement dress. Sofia started to leave, then hesitated, asking carefully, "Eliana, are you okay? Don’t be upset over someone like Damon"
I laughed, "What are you talking about? My boyfriend is Jones; how could I still be upset over Damon? He and Ariel are meant for each other."
They really were a match made in heaven.
"Right, wait for me, I need to cancel the wedding dress appointment" Sofia suddenly chimed in.
In her rush to leave, she didn’t get a chance to cancel the wedding dress appointment with the shop owner. So she gave me the car keys and went back
I went to the car just as Ariel came out of the bridal shop. She glanced at me, then said into her phone, "I’m on the side of the road; can you see me?"
Not far away, Damon’s familiar Maybach slowly approached.
I quickly got in the car and shut the door.
Outside the car window, Ariel was running towards the Maybach. Damon got out of the car and let her jump into his arms. It was quite a sweet scene.
I looked down at my phone, pretending not to see what was happening outside.
Suddenly, someone knocked on my window. It was Ariel; her face was pressed against the glass. All I could see of Damon In my peripheral vision were his legs and waist.
I ignored Ariel. She looked hurt and got up to say something to Damon. Curious, I lowered the window a bit and eavesdropped on their conversation.
’Damon, maybe I upset her. My intention was to make amends, which is why I invited her to our engagement party." Ariel said, sounding innocent.
Damon’s response was indifferent, "It doesn’t matter if those irrelevant people come or not.
I quickly rolled up the window again, blocking out that familiar, indifferent voice.
Suddenly, my phone rang. It was Jones.
"Eliana, where are you?" Jones’s voice was gentle and bright. I had to say that he treated me, his girlfriend, very differently from everyone else. Normally he was aloof with others, but with me, he was warm and attentive, easily satisfying my special needs as a girlfriend.
"I’m helping Sofia pick out a wedding dress. What about you? Have you had lunch yet?" I asked.
"I just got off work. I knew you were with Sofia, and that shop is near my hospital, so I thought I would come over and we could grab a bite." Jones said
I glanced again at Ariel and Damon outside. They were walking towards the Maybach. Before getting in, Damon looked back at
Even though we hadn’t seen each other in more than ten days, he seemed to have lost some weight, but he still seemed unapproachable.
His gaze pierced through the windshield and lingered on my face for a few seconds. There was something cold about what he said.
I avoided Damon’s gaze and answered Jones, "Sounds good; come over"
After hanging up, I got out of the car so Jones could find me while Damon’s car slowly drove away
Soon, Jones showed up. He got out of his car and waved at me.
"Dr. Jones is here for you?" Sofia came out just then and saw Jones, causing her to grin like a proud mother-in-law. "Go on, enjoy your date. I’ll take off"
"Don’t go, have lunch with us" I grabbed Sofia’s arm.
Jones showed up right in front of us, snatching my bag without a second thought. He made my bag look like a toy as he stood tall while holding it.
With his other hand holding mine, he responded to me, "Yeah, let’s grab a bite."
Sofia rolled her eyes. "Dr Jones, the only thing you’re missing is a ’Do Not Disturb’ sign on your face!"
Jones cracked a smile. His subtle one made him look extra charming under the sunlight.
"I’m outta here, bye" Sofia decided not to be a third wheel and jetted off in her car
Left with no choice, I said to Jones. "Let’s get moving. It’s just the two of us for dinner, so let’s see if there’s any decent place around."
"There’s a great Italian place, I’ll take you there." Jones led me towards his car.
