A Glorious Comeback
Chapter 4
"Selina, you don't want free money? What do you mean by that? I'm a stranger now?"
I replied, "Since we've already broken up, we shouldn't interact to avoid being misunderstood."
I thought of my somewhat jealous husband.
Levi glanced at Rosalie, looking as if he had it all figured out.
"The company is holding a banquet for Mr. Grey in three days. I'm planning to take you there to broaden your horizons, but you need to buy a decent dress to avoid disgracing me later..."
Before he could finish speaking, I politely declined. "That's really not necessary. Thank you."
Levi became a little annoyed at my second refusal.
His hand holding the cheque froze in mid-air and his teeth were chattering. "Selina, you've really grown bold now. You indeed have a bad temper. Since you don't want to go, forget it. I'll take Rosalie!"
Hearing that Levi was going to take her to the banquet, Rosalie's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Levi, I will do my best not to let you down."
I refused to argue with them any longer. I turned around and strode away. Before leaving, I said, "I hope you will still be this confident three days from now."
Leaving the airport arrival hall in a hurry and breathing in the fresh air, the nausea surging in my stomach subsided greatly.
Three years ago, my family arranged for me to go abroad for a blind date. Pressured by my parents, I begged my boyfriend Levi, whom I had been dating for seven years, to get married, hoping to make it a done deal.
Levi agreed.
Unexpectedly, I not only met Levi at the entrance of the clerk's office, but also his first love, Rosalie. "Rosalie's child needs to be legitimate, so I have to marry her first. I will marry you once we get a divorce in a month. It's just for the child. Don't overthink it."
Watching Levi holding Rosalie's hand and walking into the clerk's office, I gave up completely.
That night, I took a plane to go abroad for the blind date. A month later, I married Axel. Then, I gave birth to our first child a year later. Lately, I got pregnant with our second child.
If I had not accompanied Axel back to pay respects to his ancestors, I would not have returned, not to mention meet Levi.
Three days later, I put on light makeup and came to the banquet alone in casual clothes.
As soon as he saw me, Levi's eyes lit up while he smirked slightly.
"You said you wouldn't come, but your actions say otherwise. However, you have to at least please me if you want me to take you back. You must dress appropriately to match my status on an occasion like today."
I ignored his sudden narcissism and tried to walk around him to my seat. I had taken only two steps when the angry Levi grabbed me. "Selina, I'm talking to you. Do you hear me? Our seats are here. Where are you going?"
I shook off his hand and said calmly. "This is your seat. My seat is over there."
Levi followed my gaze and turned pale when he saw the main seat.
Rosalie glanced maliciously at me, pointed at my bracelet and cursed, "Selina, how did you sneak in? You came here to cause trouble, right? How... How dare you wear this bracelet?!"
Her voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention instantly.
"Is this woman's bracelet the Eternal Sincerity that Mr. Grey spent a fortune on to win for his wife? Today is the first time that Mr. Grey will appear with his wife. Is she trying to embarrass Mrs. Grey?"
