My beloved wife novel Chapter 2

There was dead silence between them.

The assistant standing next to Aaron had never seen him so emotional. He had always been well put together. After seeing the woman in front of them, he was a mess of confusion and surprise.

Wendy Wen prodded his back, knocking him out of his reverie. "Uncle, Aunt," he greeted.

Although he didn't stare at Rita for a long time, he did notice how surprised she was. She probably didn't expect that she'd also meet him here at the restaurant.

It never occurred to Rita that the man she had slept with would be the one she was supposed to date. Even then, she could remember his abs and muscles all lined so exquisitely on his body. At the thought, a blush colored her cheekbones.

Rita's parents quickly ushered her into the restaurant. After that, they found an excuse to leave them alone, giving them more time to get along with one another.

Before she could get over from the surprise, she already found herself sitting in front of him.

"What would you like to drink?" His voice was as melodious as the orchestra. He then quickly handed the menu to her like the gentleman he was.

"I'd like a latte, please. Thank you,"

she answered and he quickly ordered for the both of them. Once he was done, he quickly took out a hundred dollar bill from his pocket and placed it inside the menu as a tip.

At the sight of the hundred dollar bill, her face turned bright red. She chewed on her lower lip. When she saw that no others around was able to hear her, she lowered her voice. "I didn't know I was going to meet you today. I thought...I didn't expect that I'd sleep with you either so..."

It seemed as if he wasn't interested in hearing her out. He glanced down at his phone. "Do you know this person?"

There was a woman in the picture with bright seductive eyes. There was just something about her that could draw any man with a wink of an eye. Rita frowned, shaking her head. "No."

"Really?" He frowned. "She was the one who sent you to my bed that night."

"What?" She could only gape at him, not really knowing what to say.

"You entered the room without even looking the man. Miss Gu, you live quite vicariously." The corners of his lips lifted.

"And you?" She cocked up an eyebrow. "Wouldn't you like to explain why you'd accept a woman you didn't know into your bed? A dignified man, you are."
