The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 61

I was stunned by Blair's straightforwardness. I hadn't expected her to take up on my casual offer seriously. She even wanted it to be done today.

I couldn't quite refuse since she had brought it up. I had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, then. Let's meet in half an hour."

I quickly made a reservation on my phone and sent Blair the location before heading to the restaurant by cab.

I made my way to the table I had reserved on the first floor when I arrived.

I felt a burning gaze fixed intently on me as soon as I sat down.

The intensity of it sent a chill down my spine. I glanced up uneasily. My breath quickened, and my face paled when my eyes met with Abigail's.

I had never expected to see her here. It felt as if someone had wrapped their hands around my throat and left me feeling suffocated. I could only stare at her blankly as my heart pounded and my scalp tingled.

I thought I had moved on after a long time without seeing her. Yet, I couldn't even muster the courage to stand up and walk away the moment I saw her again.

I was frustrated with myself as I inwardly cursed my lack of resolve.

She had long since stopped seeing me as a person of worth. Why would I still feel defeated in her presence?

"Their divorce may have stirred up a lot of drama, but it hasn't been finalized yet. You do know that, right? Don't you think that what you're doing now is unethical?"

Blair was stunned when she heard their mocking and disdainful tones. She quickly glanced back and followed the direction of the voices until she saw Abigail surrounded by the group in the center and finally understood why I looked so grim.

Instead of getting angry, she smiled and raised her eyebrows as she glanced at Abigail and said, "Abigail, these people are picking on your husband. Are you going to pretend that you don't hear it?"

However, Abigail didn't respond to her question and asked rhetorically in an icy tone, "What does it have to do with you?"

Blair smiled. "It indeed has nothing to do with me. But I've never seen someone as shameless as you. You're hanging out with these people who are mocking and slandering your husband. It's truly pathetic!"
