My Evil Husband by Sweet Mia novel Chapter 75

Anna POV

Carson smiled at me and with a teasing tone said "you were late, again."

I gave him an apologetic smile and said "I am sorry. I have to drop the babies at their father's home."

"Next time I'll try to come on time," I added quickly.

He chuckled and said "Don't be serious. I was just kidding."

He was silent for a few minutes then he took some steps towards me slowly and stood in front of me.

"So have you thought about that?" He asked me.

I sighed mentally. He had been asking me for a date for the last two months when he got to know that I had divorced Jack.

I don't know how he got to know about it because as far as I know, dad had specifically told me not to mention my divorce in the Media.

So for the public, I am still Mrs. Anastasia Jack Miller. The name felt normal to me.

I am still using Miller's surname behind my name. I had asked dad about this but he didn't tell the reasons.

He just told me that I have to use it for some more time until Jack gets that project, which he didn't mention.

And that's why I am confused about Carson knowing that I am divorced.

"I can't go on a date with you. You are my employer right now and I... I am not ready." I let out hesitantly.

Something dark flickered in his eyes just for a few seconds then disappeared. 

Must be my imagination. I ignored it and gave him an apologetic face.

He leaned down a little and I pulled myself away to maintain the distance between us.

He put his hand on my cheek and I felt the need to push his hand away but I didn't do it.

He looked into my eyes with intensity and softly said "Please say yes."

His thumb caressed my lips and at that moment I knew that I had to pull away.

It didn't feel right to me. I don't know why? I am divorced, still, I am feeling like something is binding me to him.

It felt like I was cheating on him. Oh god, what is happening with me?

I should move on and focus on my happiness but I just can't do it.

I moved my head to the side and he took that hint to back off. He cleared his throat and said, "I am sorry."

I didn't say anything for a few minutes then with a sigh said "Only a friendly dinner."

His eyes lit up and he said "Of course a friendly dinner."

There was a glint in his eyes which I didn't like even a bit but for the time being, I let it go.

He grabbed my hand, which was on my lap, and kissed it and said "Thank you. Now you can do your work."

With that, he left and I shook my head and focused on the paperwork.

I reached home and saw that dad was not at home and mom was talking to her patient on call.

She saw me and gave me a smile then finished the call. I slumped on the couch as I was tired.

My kids were not at home too so the house was silent otherwise they would be screaming in the house.

"Tired" mom asked me with a worried face.

I gave her a tired smile and said "A little but will get better after taking a warm bath."

"Good. So I was thinking that we should go out for dinner. You, me, and your dad." She asked me.

I sat straight and suddenly my lips started to get dry. I got nervous and licked my lips.

"I... Carson, my boss, had been asking me to go on a date with him but I don't want to and I don't want to make him feel sad so I said yes. But not for the date. I just told him yes for a friendly dinner." I babbled nervously.

I completed it and took a deep breath and looked at mom who was looking at me in amusement.

"You are going on a date, Anna" she smirked

"What? No. It's just a friendly dinner." I opposed 

"Sure Sure." She said with a teasing smile.

Then she stood up and continued "Come I'll help you get ready. After all my daughter is going on her first date- oops friendly dinner."

I sighed and she just laughed and went toward my room and I followed her.

She chose a Light blue-green wrap dress for me and also chose the matching accessories.

After taking a hot bath, I got ready and paired my dress with matching color strappy heels.



My phone beeped and I saw that it was Charlotte who was video calling me.
