Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573

“Well, I’ll leave you to it. Have fun,” Vance said, still smiling brightly.

“He looks way too happy,” Heather muttered.

Rebecca glanced back. In the glow of the festival lights, Vance turned as well and gave her a gentle stile. She had noticed lately that he smiled often now. He really did look good when he smiled.

Back in high school, his cool, distant aura had been attractive, but his rare smiles had felt like winter sunlight–chilly yet dazzling. During their five years of marriage, he had rarely smiled. Perhaps she simply wasn’t the person who could make him smile.

That was fine since they had already separated. It was good that he had finally found someone who could make him smile so brightly.

Scumbags always had the best luck. How unfair!

Vance spotted the New York–style roast beef and eyed Anna excitedly. “Want to try? You said you’ve never had proper roast beef in the city. Let me see if it tastes the same.”

Anna looked at him, puzzled. “You seem happy lately.”

He raised an eyebrow. “You can tell that?”

“Uh–huh,” she hummed playfully. “I just don’t understand what’s so funny about your ex–wife barely acknowledging you.”

He turned and looked deeply in Rebecca’s direction. “As long as she’s happy, that’s enough for me.”

Rebecca’s flight left at noon the next day, and she didn’t run into Vance again.

She hadn’t brought Aaron and his team on this trip to Ireland, and her family had been worried. The moment she landed, Aaron was right there at the airport to pick them up.

After dropping Heather off at her dorm, he took Rebecca to the apartment near school.

Apparently, he had not only seen her but also heard what she said. She and Heather had been too absorbed to notice him passing by.

“Miss, what should we do with it?” Aaron asked, figuring out who had sent it as well.

Hebecca crouched beside the jar and studied it. She really loved it.

“Bring it inside,” she said.

That sender might be annoying, but the jar was genuinely beautiful.

She asked Aaron to place it in the perfect spot in the living room and spent a long time admiring it. It felt good to receive the gift, but she couldn’t just accept it without saying anything.

Vance owed her, but that sweet girl Anna did not. She mulled it over and decided to thank Anna properly.
