Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 36

The second half of their conversation was much more relaxed, and by the time Willow left the hospital, it was nearly noon.

She'd politely refused to stay for lunch—no sense risking a run-in with Beasley.

Sure enough, Beasley showed up right around lunchtime, barely missing her.

For the time being, Dorothy needed to stick to a light diet, but she also had to keep her strength up, so every meal was specially prepared by the Windsor family's private nutritionist and delivered straight to their hospital room. Vincent's meals were included as well.

The moment Beasley walked in, the aroma of freshly prepared food greeted him.

He strolled over to the dining table, eyeing the spread of dishes—there was more than enough for two people.

"Have you had lunch yet?" Dorothy asked, noticing her son's gaze lingering on the food.

Beasley tore his eyes away and walked over to his mother, ladling a bowl of soup for her. "I just stopped by to check on you. I have lunch plans with York in a bit."

After leaving York in the lurch last night, he figured he owed him a meal to make up for it.

Vincent paused, fork halfway to his mouth, and looked at his son. "York? The youngest Sinclair boy? He's back in town? When did that happen?"

York was indeed the younger Sinclair, with an older brother above him.

Beasley, fielding his father's string of questions, answered calmly, picking out the important part. "Yeah, he's been back three or four days."

His gaze swept around the room and settled on the vase of carnations on the coffee table. "Has she already been by?"

If Willow had stopped in, why hadn't she stayed for lunch with his parents? Was she worried she'd run into him—afraid he'd bring up her embarrassing display in the hospital corridor last night?

Dorothy followed her son's gaze to the brilliant red carnations blooming in the vase.
