The CEO's Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor novel Chapter 8

Evan could not believe his eyes. Shantelle had always been conservative. Evan liked to think of it that she preserved herself for him. He was her first, and oddly, he had never been intimate with anyone, other than his now ex-wife.

Shantelle was never the kind to go out in a club, nor did she enjoy dancing in the middle of a crowd, wearing a skirt above her knees.

She was fashionable, but she rarely showed off her skin in public. To Evan, Shantelle did not have to wear sexy clothes to know she had a gorgeous body.

Seeing Shantelle wear a laced dress that hugged her frame, Evan sucked in a breath. His eyes studied how her golden hair bounced from side to side, her hips swaying as she danced with her friends.

Evan was familiar with Shantelle's companions, especially Karise. One thing he was relieved about was the fact that she did not come into the club with a man. He already guessed this night out was something Karise had decided upon.

"Our Shanty is really beautiful," Wendell remarked.

"That, she is," Keith said. Then he stood up and announced, "Well, I better dance with the most beautiful girl in the club."

"What are you doing, Kieth?" Evan asked in irritation.

"What? Can't I dance with a friend?" Keith suggested with a sly grin. Then he gave Evan his back and walked to the dance floor, finding Shantelle.

Evan eyed as Keith and Shantelle spoke to each other. He saw her smile. Instantly, he felt his heart being squeezed by a hand. How long has it been since Shantelle smiled that way? She used to have that glowing face, a smile that could launch a thousand ships. Yet, that all faded through the latter part of their marriage.

"They look good together," Nicole remarked, her eyes fixed on Shantelle and Keith. She turned to Evan and tried to get his opinion. "Don't you think so, Evan?"

As Evan frowned, Sean spat out his drink. He laughed at the idea of Keith and Shantelle being together. Sean said, "That would be... a dream come true for Keith."

'What? What did Sean fucking say?' He sought in his head. 'Does - does Keith like Shantelle?'

Suddenly, Evan noticed Shantelle staring at them. Immediately, guilt washed over him, like he was caught cheating. Evan knew how Shantelle had always been hurt by his closeness with Nicole. He saw that again when their eyes briefly met.

'No,' he thought. He did not want Shantelle to misunderstand why he was out with Nicole.

"Evan, I want to dance. Can we dance?" Nicole asked. "Please."

Turning to Nicole, Evan said, "I don't want to dance. You go and dance."

He kept drinking while observing Keith and Shantelle. He had no idea what they were talking about, but it was making him uneasy. 'What if Keith really liked Shantelle? Why am I so upset about it?'

'Fuck. Why do I even feel this way?' He asked himself as his eyes narrowed on the dance floor.

The next thing he knew, Shantelle was enjoying herself in Keith's company, dancing, and chatting. Her friends kept giving her drinks, which also concerned him.

While Evan was studying Shantelle, Nicole was enraged inside. She tried her best to act calm, to pretend that Evan's attention towards Shantelle did not affect her, but how could she not? Evan was practically ignoring her!

'That bitch! This is all her fault!' She screamed in her head. Oh, how she wanted to walk to the dance floor and scratch Shantelle's face! Nicole hated Shantelle so much, especially her godly-looking face!

Once in a while, Nicole studied Evan. How he looked at Shantelle made her wonder if he had fallen in love with her. At the possibility, she frowned. 'No, that cannot be. Otherwise, he would not ask for a divorce.'
