The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) novel Chapter 15

Awkward Dinners & Unasked Questions 

HANNAH’S POV: 

We took one of the black SUVS from the garage, with his driver behind the wheel. The night air was cooler than usual, the city glittering around us as we drove past familiar streets that had changed since I left. Buildings had grown taller. Restaurants had popped up where I remembered empty lots. But the city still buzzed the same way. 

Lucas hadn’t said much since we left the office. He kept glancing out the window, drumming his fingers softly on his thigh. I watched him from the corner of my eye. I grabbed his hand and gave it a tight squeeze after calling the kids and ensuring they were okay with Morgan who was baking them cookies. 

She loved kids so much plus she was an amazing cook, baked the most amazing desserts. 

We pulled up in front of a quiet restaurant tucked into the heart of N.A. It wasn’t flashy or extravagant-just a warm, ambient space with outdoor lanterns and soft jazz floating through the air. 

Lucas helped me out of the car. His hand lingered on the small of my back a little longer and I smiled at hom. 

Inside, we were led to a private booth with velvet curtains partially drawn. The table was set with flickering candles and crystal glasses. I traced the rim of mine, still not saying much where we instantly locked eyes with the beautiful couple. 

“Hannah Jones….you keep looking stunning every single time I see you. What’s the secret girl?” Leah instantly questioned, bringing a bright smile on my face. 

“I could say the same. You’re radiating.” I complimented making her smile as we shared an embrace. 

I shared a side hug with Scott as well, and he shook hands with Lucas and stared at him in questioning when he shook hands with Leah as well. 

“Weird…” she muttered quietly but enough for all of us to hear and there was a awkward silence in the private room we were in. 

The waiter arrived and poured a complimentary champagne and I instantly downed mine. 

“The restaurant is beautiful, isn’t it?” I broke the silence seeing as the three of them looked back and forth 

between each other. 

“Amazing. I plan to try out their seafood as it came highly recommended.” Leah stated, flipping her silk long black straight hair. 

She was truly radiating and elegant, her gold ring as well as watch shimmered through the light. She was tall woman with a model figure and her skin was glowing in the white sleeveless gown she had on. 

“I will be having the seafood too then.” I added, making Lucas snort and we all glanced at him and he quickly apologized.
