Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 233

Lionel turned to Willow with a smile. “So, what do you think? Tastes pretty good, right?”

Willow nodded. “Yeah, it’s great.”

Not wanting to witness the awkward spectacle of Lionel on a date with his so-called true love, Juliette quickly caught Willow’s arm. “We’ve got to run—something came up,” she told Lionel.

Lionel’s smile faltered a little. “In such a hurry?”

His mischievous, cat-like eyes couldn’t help drifting to where Juliette’s hand was looped through Willow’s arm.

He’d been on his best behavior lately, keeping his hands to himself. It had been weeks since he dared to message Juliette on WhatsApp; at most, he quietly liked her social media posts, never daring to leave a comment for fear she’d glare at him and give him another one of her “lectures.”

Back when he dated other people, she’d never been this strict. Sure, she kept her distance for a while, made it harder to meet up for dinner, but it never got to the point of “cutting him off.”

Was it because he’d told her that this time he’d found “the one”?

Lionel couldn’t wrap his head around it—why did finding true love mean you couldn’t talk to other women like a normal person? Was Juliette overreacting just a bit?

Willow could feel the tension thickening in the air, so she stepped in smoothly. “Mr. Scott, Lettie and I really do have plans this afternoon. Let’s catch up next time, okay?”

There wasn’t much left for Lionel to say. He could only nod, say goodbye, and watch them walk away together, feeling a pang of regret.

Sometimes he had the urge to text Willow, to tell her the truth: that Juliette liked her.
