Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 117

Allison had just settled into her seat at the restaurant when Shawn strolled in and plopped down at the table right next to hers.

A couple had just arrived at that table and were about to order. Shawn walked over to them and asked, "Mind if I take your table? I'm willing to pay for it."

The couple exchanged looks. The woman asked, "How much are you offering?"

Shawn replied, "What about five hundred bucks?"

The girl’s eyes widened a bit, "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely." Shawn whipped out his phone, "Just show me your Venmo details, and I'll transfer the cash right now."

The girl’s eyes lit up, and she quickly showed him the code. Once the money was in, she happily dragged her boyfriend away.

Shawn shot a grin at Allison from the adjacent table, pulled out a chair, and casually poured himself a cup of coffee.

Nearby, Jayden was completely floored. Was this really happening?

He glanced between Allison and Shawn, eventually deciding to join Shawn at his table, sitting across from him.

Allison loved several of the restaurant's signature dishes. Shawn had deliberately chosen the table next to hers to get under her skin; if this were in the past when she still cared about him, she wouldn't have been able to enjoy her meal.

However, things were different now. She was over him. She could treat Shawn like he didn't even exist.

Allison placed her order, including a chilled drink. When the drink arrived, Shawn suddenly chimed in, "You shouldn't have cold drinks."

Allison internally rolled her eyes, took a couple of sips, and smiled contentedly. Turning to Joshua, who was sitting across from her, she said, "It's been ages since I last had this. Tastes just like I remember. Joshua, want a sip?"

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Joshua, her face all sweet smiles, creating an atmosphere so sweet it seemed to fill the air.

Joshua took the glass and sipped from the same straw Allison used. Their actions and expressions were so natural. There was no sense of pretense.

Jayden watched the scene unfold and got the picture. Allison and Joshua were always like this; their bond was genuine, not some act.

But Shawn...
