Revenge Against My Ex-husband novel Chapter 18

With Jordan's help, Irene's uncle soon got a new kidney, and the operation was very successful.

Irene felt relieved. She stayed with her uncle in the hospital for a few days. Seeing that her uncle was recovering well, she fulfilled her promise and went back to work at Jordan's company.

Jordan sized her up and down when he saw her showing up in a conventional outfit."Irene, dressing like this is a waste of your beauty! It's a waste! Don't make yourself look like an old maid in the future. You should dress up so I can enjoy the view when I'm in the office." 

Irene ignored him and took a cup to prepare Jordan's tea as before. Then she began to look at Jordan's schedule today.

Jordan squinted and took a sip of tea. He exhaled a long sigh and said, "The tea you made tastes very good, Irene. I missed you very much and couldn't even do my job well without seeing you these days." 

He used to talk to her in a rude manner, yet now he always spoke to her with a coy smile. Irene still disregarded him and bowed her head deferentially.

Jordan was bored as well after talking to himself for a long time without her responding. He stopped grinning and began to work seriously.

It was noon in the blink of an eye. Jordan looked at his watch and said, "Let's go. Have lunch with me today!"

"Lunch?"

"Yes!"

Jordan took Irene to Hans, the most famous restaurant in San Fetillo. Edric often brought her there when they were together. 

Seeing this familiar yet also strange place, Irene felt resistant to it for inexplicable reasons. But since she couldn't ask Jordan to go to another restaurant, she withheld the discomfort and went inside with Jordan.

Jordan pulled out a chair for her very gentlemanly. When she sat down, he told her, "It's said that the dishes here are the best in the entire San Fetillo for now. I ate here the other day and thought it is good. So I want to take you here to have a taste."

Irene did not speak. The dishes cooked by Han's chef were indeed top-notch. After they sat down, Jordan ordered Han's specialties -- foie gras, escargot, steak, and red wine. His phone rang as soon as he finished ordering. He picked up the phone and answered it outside. Irene felt much more comfortable without Jordan by her side.

She looked around and was surprised to see Lily.

Wearing a white dress, Lily was sitting gracefully not far away from her, seemingly waiting for someone. Seeing her noble and elegant demeanor, Irene recalled how she and Deborah looked like the first time they arrived at the Cook family. A sneer appeared on her lips. This was probably what they meant by going from rags to riches.
