The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 268

She was so consumed by jealousy she nearly hurled her phone across the room.

If she hadn't been forced to resign, she would have been the one giving a speech tonight. She would be the one looking glamorous on that live stream.

It was all Winona's fault for stealing every single opportunity she had.

After the summit wrapped up, Winona stood near the entrance of the banquet hall, waiting for Stefan to finish his networking so they could grab dinner.

Sheldon, Nigel, and Zack finished saying their goodbyes to some industry veterans and walked over.

Zack jumped in first. "Winona, let me give you a ride."

Winona smiled politely. "No thanks, I'm waiting for someone."

Unaware of her relationship with Stefan, Zack asked curiously, "Waiting for who?"

Sheldon, easily reading the room and knowing Winona wasn't interested in Zack, quickly grabbed the younger man by the collar and dragged him away. "Winona definitely has important business to attend to. Let's not bother her. Come on, I'll treat you to some late-night food..."

And just like that, Zack was hauled off.

Winona waited for another five minutes before Stefan finally emerged.

They took the elevator down to the underground parking garage.

Once inside the car, Stefan turned to her. "Anything specific you're craving?"

Winona thought for a moment. "Noodles?"

Stefan chuckled. "Perfect. I was just in the mood for noodles too."

They found a highly-rated noodle joint nearby. The place had been open for years and was packed with customers despite it being late.

Since the private booths were all full, they took a small table in the main dining area.

Winona ordered the Tortellini en Brodo, while Stefan opted for the Shrimp & Orzo Soup.

The server brought their steaming bowls over.

Stefan naturally reached for the condiment caddy. "Do you want vinegar or chili oil?"

Winona shook her head. "No, thanks."
