When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 98

Latham spotted Albert and Dorothea together as he walked past the private dining room. Jealousy hit him so hard he could barely breathe.

So this was the dinner she mentioned?

A cozy little meal with her ex?

He clenched his fists, trying not to march in there and make a scene.

Pearson glanced over at Latham, noticing the stormy look on his face. He gave a little laugh. “Looks like Latham’s got something weighing on him tonight.”

Wade just smirked. “Who knows. Ever since he got married, he’s always got something going on.”

Latham ignored Wade’s digs and lifted his glass toward Pearson. “Thanks for helping out last time.”

Pearson smiled, easy and calm, and took a sip. Tonight was supposed to be about friends, after all.

Right then, Albert pushed through the door, his whole vibe sharp and tense. “So, Latham, you wanted to see me?”

He seemed surprised to find Pearson there too, but he kept it polite. “Pearson, long time no see.”

Pearson grinned. “It’s rare to get the old gang together like this.”

Latham let out a short, bitter laugh. “Who’s in a gang with him?”

More like sworn enemies, if you asked him.

Still, they did grow up in the same crowd. That much was true.

Pearson kept things light. “Come on, let’s keep it friendly. Albert, let me get you a drink.”

He poured Albert a full glass, hoping they could keep things civil.

Wade just watched, lips twitching. He knew what was really going on and wanted no part of it. “Pearson, you should let them handle their own drinks.”

No way was he going to drag Pearson into this mess.

Latham gave a crooked smile, got to his feet, and picked up his glass. “Alright then. Pearson says we toast, so let’s toast. Albert, this one’s for you.”
