The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 670

Previously, to fulfill Rachel’s wishes, Dad had given her the wedding ceremony he’d originally planned as a vow renewal for Mom.

Rachel had walked down the aisle, holding his hand, and someone in the crowd had mistaken her for his wife. Mom was furious.

In Keen’s young mind, he thought this kind of misunderstanding must have made Mom angry.

But now, Mom didn’t really seem upset at all.

Keen, meanwhile, was fascinated by horseback riding.

In families like his, children usually started riding lessons by the age of four or five. Unfortunately, Keen’s health hadn’t been great, and his parents had postponed anything too strenuous for him. Horseback riding was one of those things that had to wait.

When they arrived at the country club, Stella, Rachel, Aurora, and Simone headed for the women’s locker room to change.

Haynes took Keen, along with Foreman and Joshua, to the men’s locker room to get into their riding gear.

Together, the group looked like something out of a magazine—elegant men and beautiful women, the kind who turned heads just by standing together.

Stella had just finished changing when her phone rang—it was Antoney.

She slipped away to a quiet corner to take the call.

Meanwhile, in the men’s locker room, Joshua came out in his riding clothes to find Haynes waiting alone by the door.

Foreman and Keen had already gone on ahead.

Joshua only needed a glance to know Haynes was waiting for him on purpose.

“Is there something you need, Mr. O'Brien?”

Haynes’ gaze was cool, assessing, as he looked Joshua up and down.

“Name your price.”

Joshua smiled, amused. “I’m afraid if I named a price, you couldn’t afford it.”

“Then I think you really don’t want to see what I’m capable of,” Haynes replied.

Joshua gave a half-smile. “Oh? Your methods? I’m actually curious to see what you’ll do.”

He stepped closer, lowering his voice so only Haynes could hear. “Haynes, don’t waste your breath. Even if you offered me a hundred million, I wouldn’t leave Star.”

He paused, his tone almost confessional. “To be honest, I really like her. The only reason I took the job as her assistant was to get close to her. So far, it’s working—Star trusts me, and she’s definitely fond of me.

She moved me into her neighborhood just so she could see me every day, and she often cooks for me herself.

Abby told me Star has a thing for good-looking men. And as it turns out, I’m exactly her type.”

Joshua gave Haynes a slow, deliberate once-over, then smiled.

“Ms. Cameron said the only reason she married you was because you were handsome back then. But five years in bed with the same man—no matter how handsome—gets boring after a while. Maybe now Star just wants a taste of something new.”
