Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 168: Mr. Fitzgerald’s Lover
He said that, so Sabrina stopped insisting.
Soon, the group headed to Riverbend’s restaurant.
This place is located on the fifty-something floor of Veridia’s landmark building, surrounded by windows, offering sweeping views of the city and river at night.
The dishes inside are personally cooked by a star chef, with perfect color, aroma, and taste.
Halfway through the meal, fireworks indeed started outside.
Upon seeing them, Zara couldn’t focus on eating anymore. She softly leaned against the glass window, gazing at the gorgeous scene with sparkling eyes, "Mommy, look, it’s so beautiful..."
Sabrina looked as well.
It was indeed very beautiful.
But for some reason, she couldn’t help but recall the night of the New Year, what she saw in the video.
The fireworks there were far more dazzling and brilliant than tonight’s...
She subconsciously lifted her gaze, looking at Jasper Fitzgerald opposite her.
The man happened to be looking at her too.
Another moment of eye contact.
His long, narrow black eyes were calm and gentle, showing no strong emotions, but somehow grew deeper.
Sabrina inexplicably felt her heart racing and hastily looked away, not daring to meet his gaze again.
Jasper merely raised his eyebrows, saying nothing.
Later, the fireworks finally ended, and dinner reached its conclusion.
At this moment, the restaurant waiter came over with a tray and courteously said to the three, "Hello, pardon the interruption, today is the Lantern Festival, and we have specially prepared ’yuanxiao’ for each table, please enjoy, and have a pleasant holiday. Also, today is February 14th, Valentine’s Day, these nine roses are a gift for the gentleman... the gentleman can give them to your loved one..."
Sabrina was already sipping juice and was caught off guard by these astonishing words, choking quite severely.
The waiter was startled, seemingly puzzled by her reaction.
Jasper was stunned for two seconds, but then his expression returned to normal as he asked, "Are you okay?"
"I’m... I’m fine!"
Sabrina coughed for a while, trying hard to restrain herself but couldn’t help blushing.
Half due to coughing, half due to the misunderstanding.
She never expected that having a simple meal would lead to being mistaken as married to Mr. Fitzgerald.
And... today turned out to be Valentine’s Day?
The barren marriage with Jordan Hawthorne for years had long made her forget various significant holidays.
Unexpectedly, such coincidence.
No wonder she saw people selling roses on the way over!
She was awkwardly at a loss, subconsciously telling the waiter, "We are not..."
She was just about to explain when the man opposite said naturally, "Thank you, just leave it here."
The waiter immediately smiled and placed the yuanxiao and roses on the table.
Sabrina was a bit stunned.
Mr. Fitzgerald... accepted them???
In her daze, the waiter soon retreated.
Only then did Jasper speak lightly, "It’s just irrelevant strangers, no need to waste time explaining... Besides, the flowers are nice. Since they’re prepared by the restaurant, let’s accept them. I see other tables have them too; it’s surely a general gift, so don’t worry too much!"
Perhaps his calmness made Sabrina feel she was overreacting.
And indeed, looking around the restaurant, every table received them.
Even the two men not far away awkwardly received a bouquet, now staring at each other speechlessly.
Sabrina inexplicably found it amusing, feeling less embarrassed than before.
She sincerely commented, "The restaurant’s staff is really perceptive!"
Jasper’s eyes glinted with a hint of laughter as he agreed, "Absolutely!"
Despite the mix-up, it must be said, the yuanxiao was quite delicious.
Sesame filling, fragrant and sweet, inexplicably lifting one’s spirits.
When dinner was over, Sabrina held Zara’s hand with one hand and the bouquet of roses with the other, leaving the restaurant alongside Jasper Fitzgerald.
As she left, she didn’t notice that, at another window-side spot, a pair of eyes followed them, even taking pictures with a phone.
It was Ethan Hawthorne!
He was dining with a few familiar socialites and young scions today.
Yet didn’t expect to see Sabrina.
Although it was just a brief moment, it was easy to discern the woman’s close attitude toward the man beside her.
Ethan quickly sent the photo to his brother, "Sabrina, that wench, surely had someone outside all along. It’s been such a short time since the divorce, and she’s flirting with Josee Sheffield, scheming against our Hawthorne Family, while also taking Zara out and going on Valentine’s dates with other men! Brother, it was right to kick her out back then!"
Jordan Hawthorne had a social engagement tonight and just finished before receiving Brooke’s urging call.
"Today is Lantern Festival and Valentine’s Day; I’ve prepared a candlelight dinner at home. When are you coming back?"
Jordan was somewhat impatient, tugging at his tie.
The Hawthorne Group hadn’t yet fully recovered its losses, keeping him busy daily, leaving him no mind for celebrating holidays.
Brooke’s romanticism used to stir his pleasure and interest.
But at moments like this, it feels utterly untimely.
As he reached his doorstep, he couldn’t help but miss Sabrina’s understanding nature.
She seemingly never asked unreasonable demands during his busy times...
Just then, Ethan’s message arrived.
Seeing the photo made his face darken.
Though only their profiles were captured, and the man’s face wasn’t visible, it was evident that he was gently holding Zara’s hand.
As for Sabrina, who was caught on the side, her beautiful face was adorned with a bright, happy smile.
Holding a bouquet of roses, and looking even more radiant than the flowers.
Her demeanor and dress quite different from before.
The sight made Jordan feel inexplicably restless.
This woman... when did she become so charming?
Once upon a time, she was dull and uninteresting, always revolving around the child.
Such a drastic change, is it because of that man by her side?
Jordan’s gaze darkened, and he felt his anger rising for no reason.
Especially seeing Zara being so intimately involved with someone else, his jealousy surged.
Is she truly planning to let his daughter acknowledge someone else as her father???
How dare Sabrina!
The Hawthorne bloodline, even if divorced, will never tolerate others’ interference!
Thinking this, Jordan immediately dialed Sabrina’s number.
But couldn’t get through.
Sabrina had long since blocked him!
His anger flared, intending to instruct the driver to turn around and head to Sabrina’s place.
But couldn’t, as a jabbing pain and numbness coursed his leg.
His expression changed slightly, and he instinctively pressed it, intensifying the pain...
He frowned deeply.
Overwhelmed by work lately and with no one to assist him in acupuncture, his leg seems to be showing signs of acting up again.
After taking a deep breath, Jordan could only temporarily give up!
