What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 426

Kaia shook her head. "I'm not much of a drinker. Water is fine."

Simon nodded. "Next time, then. I have a few excellent bottles of wine at home. I'll bring some over for you to try when you have the time."

"Sounds great. We can invite Celine too. She loves wine." Kaia missed the underlying flirtation entirely, casually agreeing.

After finishing dinner, Kaia and Simon went their separate ways. Since Kaia was passing by Celine's design studio, she gave her a call. Learning that Celine was still stuck working, Kaia decided to drop off some takeout.

"Kaia, you're an angel! Not only are you not mad at me, but you also brought me food! I love you!" Celine rushed over and enveloped her in a hug, acting like a spoiled cat.

Kaia rolled her eyes playfully and pushed her away. "Hurry up and eat. It's all your favorites."

"Thank you! I swear, if I were a guy, I'd marry you in a heartbeat. I would never let a jerk like Finnian have you." Celine ranted as she tore into the packaging. The aroma of the food hit her, and she took a deep sniff. "Smells amazing. I am starving."

Kaia wandered into the showroom outside the office, admiring Celine's latest designs. The pieces were uniquely elegant and stunning. Just looking at them was a visual treat.

Celine trailed behind her, carrying her food container. "See anything you like? Pick one, it's yours. Once you're officially divorced, you need to stop dressing so plain. You're young and gorgeous—flaunt it while you can."

Hearing those words felt like a weight lifting off Kaia's chest. She nodded. "Yeah, I just have to keep moving forward. The best is yet to come."

"That's the spirit! Don't let some jerk ruin your life. Always look ahead." Celine was thrilled that Kaia was finally embracing her philosophy.

Kaia stayed at Celine's studio until around nine-thirty before driving back to her apartment.

When she pulled into the underground parking garage, she noticed a familiar black Bentley parked in the adjacent spot, its engine cut. Spotting Kaia's car, Dexter turned to the back seat. "Mr. Sanders, Dr. Chavez is back."
