When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 196

When Scott showed up with Mamie, Pauline leaned over to Dorothea and asked, “Dorothea, is that Scott’s girlfriend?”

Scott was usually so serious, barely ever cracked a smile, but everyone noticed the way the corner of his mouth lifted just now.

Dorothea hesitated, then said quietly, “Grandma, I don’t think so. Please don’t jump to conclusions.”

Ladd’s eyes lit up. He knew Scott well enough to recognize the signs. Scott was definitely into Mamie.

Pauline nodded. “Oh, I just thought she was his girlfriend. They look good together.”

Since they had such a big group, there weren’t enough seats together. Ladd and Pauline ended up with two seats together in the middle of the third row.

Latham sat down next to Dorothea, both of them leaving a seat open on either side.

Mamie didn’t even hesitate, sliding right into the spot next to Dorothea. “Sorry I’m late. Traffic was insane. I’m just glad I made it.”

Dorothea smiled and reassured her, “Don’t worry, you’re not late at all. I think we have about three minutes before it starts.”

The show was set to begin at ten.

Scott paused, clearly not thrilled, but he didn’t want to block anyone’s view. He ended up sitting next to Latham, though he looked like he’d rather be anywhere else.

Now, Scott and Mamie were separated by two people. To Scott, it felt like they were miles apart.

He shot a cold look at Latham, but Latham didn’t even notice.

Instead, Latham leaned in toward Dorothea, trying to be sweet. “Babe, let me hold your bag for you.”

Scott stifled a cough behind his hand, trying to get their attention.

Latham ignored him. “Are you cold, honey? I can put my jacket over your legs.”

Dorothea thought he was being a little much. She shook her head. “No, I’m fine. Not cold.”

Scott finally couldn’t take it anymore. He let out a quiet scoff. “Latham, why don’t you swap seats with one of the ladies so they can sit together in the middle? You can take the end.”
