THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1127

Seeing the name of the restaurant, Elsa's eyes widened in disbelief.

Xander was a very practical man. Since they started dating, they had always gone to very affordable restaurants, where the cost per person never exceeded about ten bucks.

[Okay, babe. I'll be there on time.]

Xander replied instantly: [Waiting for you, baby.]

Seeing his immediate response made Elsa feel even more puzzled. Xander's job was very demanding. Even on his days off, he was never quick to reply, usually taking about half an hour.

But today, he had responded almost the second she sent her message. Elsa felt a little overwhelmed by the attention.

They had agreed to meet at 11:30 AM. Elsa made a point to arrive twenty minutes early.

To her surprise, Xander was already there when she arrived.

Seeing him sitting at the table, Elsa was stunned. "Babe! When did you get here?" she asked, incredulous.

Due to the nature of his work, Xander was always late for their dates. Sometimes by ten minutes, sometimes by fifteen. A situation like this was a first.

"About ten minutes ago," Xander said with a smile. "I knew my little baby would be early. And since I wasn't busy today, I came early too."

"Thank you, babe." Elsa sat down across from him.

Like a magician, Xander produced a bouquet of flowers from under the table. "Baby, do you like them?"

Elsa asked in disbelief, "Babe, are these for me?"

Xander was a classic STEM guy, practical to a fault. He never bothered with frilly, romantic gestures. Their relationship had no flowers, and they never went to the movies.

Elsa never imagined her boyfriend would buy her flowers! Especially such beautiful ones. She had always thought that if a typical guy like Xander ever bought flowers, it would be one of those tacky bouquets of red roses with black wrapping and a little plastic crown. But the arrangement Xander had chosen was unexpectedly gorgeous—ethereal and beautiful.
