Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 594

Chapter 594 I Wanted You To Look At Me

Spencer looked at Charlize and asked, “Is it good?”

“It’s delicious.” As she bit into the soft, aromatic fish, its fresh flavor filled her mouth and put an end to her protests.

Although she said she would not eat a lot, somehow, she wound up eating way more than she had intended. It was no surprise that she gained nearly two pounds in the remaining five days.

The fact that she had not only failed in her initial plan to lose weight but also put on an extra five pounds in total sent her into utter despair. I don’t even need to try on my bridesmaid dress to know I can’t fit into it.

In the end, she had no choice but to ask Spencer to have someone make a free-sized version in the same design. As she stuffed the dress into her suitcase, she looked miserable.

Despite her disappointment, she was still over the moon that Spencer had taken the time to attend the wedding with her.

Since the others attending the wedding were her university mates, naturally, they knew Spencer too.

While in university, the few close friends she had were from the same dormitory as her, and they knew she liked Spencer.

Juliette Hutley, the head of the dormitory back then and the friend who was about to get married, had urged Charlize to confess to Spencer, saying that they sensed he seemed to have feelings for her too.

Alas, Charlize had been too timid. Even after they had dragged her right up to Spencer, all she could muster was, “Happy graduation, Spencer.”

Watching the scene unfold, her three roommates had desperately wished they could step forward and help her.

However, after Spencer had graduated and Charlize continued attending university, the pair hardly had any opportunities to meet. Noticing how unhappy she seemed, her roommates rarely mentioned his name in front of her.

Charlize had many suitors while in university. She had a face that everyone, regardless of age or gender, found pleasing to the eye. Every year, she would help her faculty welcome its new students, and each time after that, she would receive a number of confessions from her male juniors.

Nonetheless, she was obstinate and held her first crush dearly in her heart, not giving any attention to anyone else.

At the time, others in her dormitory had called her a fool. They could not understand why she was still saving herself for Spencer even though he had already graduated, and it was almost certain they would never cross paths in the future. They wondered why she did not choose a young, hot-blooded junior instead and lamented the fact that some people had all the luck while others could not even catch a break.

However, no matter what they said, Charlize turned down all suitors and remained single throughout her four years at university.

More than a year had passed since their graduation, and everyone was now dealing with the harsh reality of the real world. Finding a boyfriend had become even more challenging than looking for a satisfactory job. Charlize’s friends could not help worrying whether she would end up having an arranged marriage.

As it turned out, she had gotten into a relationship without telling anyone. She also did not reveal what her boyfriend was like.

After staying silent for half a month, Charlize finally texted in the group chat two days ago that she might be attending the wedding with her boyfriend.

Showing more excitement about who Charlize was dating than her wedding, the bride-to-be arrived early at the airport gate with the two others in their friend group to welcome Charlize and her boyfriend.

The couple flew in one day before the wedding, boarding a plane at three o’clock in the afternoon and arriving in Alenvista around five o’clock.

Charlize only brought one suitcase with her, which also contained Spencer’s clothes.

No sooner had they landed than she received a call from Juliette, and a familiar voice rang out from the other end. “Charlize, you’ve gotten off the plane, right? Have you come out of the gate? Why haven’t we seen you? Is your boyfriend here?”

Charlize glanced at Spencer, who was holding her hand, and her cheeks flushed instantly. “I’ve gotten off the plane. I’ll be out after collecting my suitcase. He’s here.”

I wonder what they’ll think when they see that my boyfriend is Spencer. As the thought crossed her mind, she felt both nervous and excited.

Sensing the shift in her emotions, Spencer asked, “Are you feeling shy?”
