After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 119

The smile on Paul's face became broader.

Sylvia ate the rib picked by him.

Romeo secretly praised his older brother for his excellent performance.

Franklin looked stern, watching the scene icily. Then his gaze fell on the rib, his eyes glittering with anger.

The next second, he started to shell the lobsters. His slender, artwork-liked fingers worked fast. Several Boston lobsters were shelled shortly after.

"Hiss!" he suddenly grasped.

Others looked over, only to find the blood on a finger of his right hand.

Franklin stared at the wound expressionlessly. Then he looked at Sylvia and complained, "It hurts." Others were shocked by his words.

He looked as if he was repressing the tremendous pain. "I'd better be tolerant."

With those words, he pushed the shelled lobsters to Sylvia. "For you, Sylvia."

Everyone could tell he was trying to act cute.

He behaved too awkwardly but was still attractive, especially since he had such a lovely face.

Sylvia glanced at the lobster and then at Franklin, who was as noble as a prince. She thought he wasn't only abnormal but also dramatic.

'Mr. Maskelyne, you are always an overbearing, cold man. Why are you so dramatic now?' thought her.

While she was wondering, Franklin kept an aloof look and reached his injured finger to her. "It still bleeds. Dr. Andrews, can you help me?"

Sylvia grabbed a paper napkin, covered his wound, and tied a bowknot. "Are you happy with my help, Mr. Maskelyne?"

The bowknot was too adorable for such a man of status.

However, Franklin replied in satisfaction, "Dr. Andrews, I want to have the orange chicken. Can you please pick some for me? My right-hand hurts. I'm afraid I cannot use a fork now."

Once again, Sylvia inwardly mocked him for being so childish.

Poppy gaped at them as she had never expected her brother to be so.

In her opinion, Franklin was always aggressive, cold-hearted, and ruthless.

However, he behaved so shamelessly now.

Compared to him, her tricks to gain Sylvia's favor were nothing.

James winked at Romeo triumphantly. 'Look. My brother's more skilled.'

James inwardly praised Franklin. He never wanted Franklin and Sylvia to break up.

Mr. Carrillo and Mr. Mckee bowed their heads while munching the food in silence.

Franklin changed his image in their mind again.

Jasper was also shocked. 'Bravo, Mr. Maskelyne!' However, he was worried as Sylvia might not be cooperative.

As he expected, Sylvia parted her lips and called over a waiter. "Mr. Maskelyne is injured. Please help him have lunch."

"Yes, Miss Andrews." The waiter picked up a serving spoon, looking at Franklin with a sincere smile. "Mr. Maskelyne, which dish would you like to have now?"

Franklin's eagle-sharp eyes narrowed. He said, sounding aggressive, "Sylvia, my stomach hurts."

Paul almost smashed his fork onto Franklin's face. 'How shameless!'

He naturally picked up more food for Sylvia, staring at Franklin.

The latter almost went ballistics. Pushing the lobster closer to Sylvia, he said, "Sylvia, this one is more nutritious."
