Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 582

Chapter 582 Are You Doing This On Purpose

“Charlize.”

No sooner had those words left her lips than Charlize heard Spencer calling her name.

“Huh?” she instinctively responded, but when she turned to meet his eyes, she swallowed.

What is that look in his eyes? This is weird...

“We're not trespassing.”

“What?”

Before Charlize could come to her senses, she saw Spencer walking over to the round table and picking up the bouquet of roses.

When she saw that, the first thing she thought was, Spencer's going to confess to someone.

But soon, she was wondering who was Spencer's target of affection. She had been by his side for over a year, but she had not noticed him treating anyone differently.

Still, the thought of him confessing to someone else brought a swell of jealousy in her chest.

She did not know why, but she was ill at ease.

While she was lost in her thoughts, Spencer walked over to her.

Charlize raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were a little teary, but that went unnoticed by her. “Mr. Lacroix, so, you're going to confess.”

Her words were laced with jealousy.

Spencer's expression softened, a rare sight. “Yes.”

His response made Charlize's frown deepen.

She simply could not find the reason behind her suddenly-sour mood.

“Oh, that's good. Well, I won't disturb you anymore.”

At that, Charlize gave him a smile that looked worse than outright bawling and turned to run off.

However, just as she lifted her head, the man behind her grabbed her hand.

He was warmer than her, so she could feel the heat that circled her wrist coming from his palm.

She stiffened before turning to look at Spencer in confusion. “Mr. Lacroix, go ahead if you want to confess. If you keep holding onto me, the girl might misunderstand the situation, and that'll be bad.”

As she said that, she reached out to pry his hand off.

Yet, right as she moved to do that, Spencer brought the flowers to her. “Charlize, would you consider being in a relationship with me?”

Charlize looked at the roses before her as she blinked rapidly, trying to digest Spencer's words in her shock. “Mr. Lacroix, even though I'm in the wrong to have lied to you to come to this party, you shouldn't pull my legs like this.”

I'll think that this is real.

Spencer's expression darkened again. “Are you pretending to be stupid, or are you genuinely stupid?”

Charlize froze. Of course, she was not the latter, but things were progressing so swiftly in a direction she was not expecting.

She did not answer him, and a silence abruptly ensued.

In the end, Spencer frowned and asked, “Do you already have someone you like?”

“Y-Yes.”

Charlize nodded. Spencer looked like he was about to scrunch up his face.

A myriad of emotions flashed past his dark eyes, but in the end, he suppressed them all.

With a scoff, he said, “You're right. I was joking with you. Forget about what I said earlier.”

Then, he threw the bouquet into the trash can beside them.

Charlize's heart broke. This is such a beautiful bouquet. How can he just toss it away like this?
