Mr Billionaire's Regret Chasing His Irresistible Wife (Jared and Arielle) novel Chapter 111

(JARED’S POV)

I blinked at her words. Huh, what entertainment?

When I decided to come here, I knew talking to her wasn't going to be a walk in the park. What was I expecting, that she would warm up to me on the first day we met, three years after I wronged her?

She looked... different. More than different. She was stunning, radiant in a way I couldn’t put into words. There was a new confidence about her, something in the way she held herself—stronger, more self-assured. Her hair was shorter than I remembered, but it suited her.

Her features were sharper, more mature, like she’d left the softer version of herself behind when I walked out of her life.

Still, I didn't expect her outright resentment. It seemed like she hated me so much now, down to hating sharing the same space and air with me, and the realization of that broke my heart more than I expected.

But I was not going to back down.

I had accosted her as the meeting ended, but she had been really unreceptive until she received a notification on her phone. Her expression shifted –becoming blank.

But she let out an unexpected laugh, startling me. My heart sank, dread clawing at me. Something was wrong.

"Are you coming or not?" She cut into my thoughts, her tone turning mean again.

"Of course, I am," I hurriedly responded, not wanting her to change her mind.

Whatever entertainment it was she was talking about, even though I didn't know what it was, I was willing to go witness it with her as long as it kept me in close proximity with her.

"Alright, come with me," she said, walking out of the room.

I followed suit, and it was at this point I realized some of the attendees of the meeting were still in the room, staring at us, but I cared less.

As we walked out, I couldn't help but wonder what this "entertainment" was.
