The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 124

Mika chuckled softly, spitting the perfectly clean chicken wing bone onto her plate.

Men always loved using kids to chain a woman down.

But what she hadn't expected was that even a child who wasn't biologically hers could tie Damaris's hands and feet so tightly.

Moreover, Caleb was the kind of man who couldn't stand seeing his partner happy.

Seeing Damaris enjoying herself, he didn't feel happy for her; instead, he lashed out with sour sarcasm and played the victim.

It was as if he wanted Damaris to feel guilty for simply enjoying a meal.

But many men of his generation were exactly like this, and Damaris had dealt with plenty of these bottom-feeding, manipulative guys.

She probably assumed all men in the world were the same, so there was no point in complaining.

Mika quietly sipped her drink, ultimately choosing not to intervene in their "family drama."

After finishing their meal, Mika paid the bill and they headed downstairs. She called a premium rideshare and they waited by the curb. Damaris stood next to her, looking noticeably preoccupied.

Mika purposely provoked her. "What's wrong? Want to go back? If you want to go home, I can call the spa and cancel, and you can just buy a ticket back right now."

"Hey, don't do that!" The thought of visiting a high-end city spa had kept Damaris awake all night. There was no way she was letting that dream die now.

"You promised you'd treat me, you can't back out now! I'll stop thinking about Caleb, okay?"

Mika turned her head, a victorious smirk tugging at her lips.

She knew perfectly well how much Damaris cared about her looks and how deeply she valued a trip to a salon.

But even back in Jasper Falls, spas were luxuries reserved for women whose husbands pulled in decent money.
