When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 236

“Relax. Latham’s young, successful, good-looking, and loaded. Our daughter’s going to fall for him.”

***

At four on the dot, Latham waltzed into Dorothea’s office like he owned the place.

This time, Dorothea didn’t even bother to scold him. She just raised an eyebrow. “You’re here to pick me up this early?”

“Yeah. Remember Levi, the guy who got married recently? He invited us out to dinner. I figured I’d bring you along.”

Dorothea hesitated. “Isn’t this a reunion with your classmates? Maybe I should sit this one out.”

She’d gone to the wedding, sure, but who actually brings their wife to a regular hangout?

“It’s fine. Everyone’s bringing their wives.”

Latham leaned in close, his eyes softening, trying to look pathetic. “Babe, they’re all bringing their wives. You’re not going to leave me as the only one by myself, are you? I’m too handsome for my own good. There are so many flirty women out there. Don’t you want to keep an eye on me?”

Dorothea gave him a gentle shove. “If you’re that easy to steal, I don’t want you anyway.”

Latham brushed a kiss against the corner of her mouth. “No one can steal me. You’re the only one who gets to tempt me.”

Dorothea just stared at him, speechless.

***

Dorothea had totally believed everyone else would be bringing a partner. Arm in arm with Latham, she opened the door to the private room, only to freeze in place.

Not a single other person had brought a date.

She shot Latham a look, silently asking for an explanation.

Latham just shrugged. “Wait, none of you brought your wives? I thought that was the plan. Oops, my mistake.”

The whole room was silent.

Who was it that kept insisting in the group chat that no one should bring their partner tonight?

Honestly, they all wanted to call Latham out on the spot.

Dorothea felt awkward, but Latham acted like nothing was wrong.

“Come on, babe, sit here.”
