My Ex Wants It After the Divorce novel Chapter 1

"I'm sorry, but we don't hire women over 30 here," the restaurant manager told Liana impatiently as he shooed her away.

As Liana walked away apathetically, she heard the manager murmur softly: " Who would want to patronize my business if I had an ugly old waitress?" Liana frowned slightly. She thought about turning around and telling the manager that she was only 25 years old!

However, she restrained herself when she saw her reflection in the window next to her.

Her face had lost its youth and the glow that once decorated her eyes had long since faded.

An emaciated frame, dry hair, a wrinkled face, and outdated clothes added at least 10 years to her appearance.

She realized that she had become an old woman in recent years...even though she was only 25!

Liana smiled bitterly as the hardships of the past few years flooded her mind. As she dragged her tired body away from the scene, she noticed a car stopping behind her.

The arrival of a Maybach car did not go unnoticed by the restaurant manager.

"President White, welcome," the manager said obsequiously. Liana stopped abruptly in her tracks.

"Edward, can you accompany me to buy clothes after this? Today is the new arrival date for the Chanel counter," Betina said quietly as they got out of the car. Her hands were around Edward's arm, who just looked at her and replied with a simple "okay".

The single syllable froze Liana to the ground! Before she could stop herself, her head turned slowly... and her eyes fell on Edward's beautiful face!

It had to be him... Liana couldn't have predicted that this was how they would meet after their divorce 3 years ago.

She was so down, so out of luck. He was still her controlled self, far above the ranks of the commoners.

Betina next to him was also as elegant and dignified as she was 3 years ago. The two ended up staying together.

So, again, with her out of the picture, was it really a surprise?

"Liana?" Edward said when he saw her. Disbelief was clearly written in her eyes.

Betina's expression changed slightly and she choked: "Oh my God, is it really you, Liana? What happened to you?" Liana snapped out of her daze. She quickly turned her head, muttering: "You've got the wrong person!"Hurriedly, she turned to escape.”

There was no way she could face them both today. No woman would be willing to face her rich ex-husband and her beautiful loving ex-rival in such an abject state. Especially after the two of them were together!

The comparison between winner and loser was all too obvious.

Edward caught up with Liana on the run, shouting: "Liana, stop right there!”

The moment his hand grabbed her arm, she screamed as if she had been poked by pins: "Let me go! I'm not Liana, I really am not!”
