Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

Finally, Kerry and Terence walked out of the supermarket with the groceries. A pair of curious eyes followed Terence's every step; when he realized Kerry's gaze, he furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Well, I'm curious about your character and personality." A warm smile flashed across Kerry's lips. "I noticed how you looked at that young woman from earlier. Is she the reason why your partnership with Barton's company was cancelled?"

"What? Who told you about it?" Terence's eyes grew, his face warped into a surprised expression.

"I won't be in my current position if I can't figure out such details." Kerry said with a smile. "Your eyes had a hint of disgust and annoyance during your exchange with the woman. She's Barton's daughter. I realized the truth about your situation."

"Wow. You're quite observant!" Terence chuckled. He was amused at this woman's cleverness.

"However, there's something strange about that..." Kerry's pretty eyes glowed with a mix of wonder and skepticism. "Barton and I have known each other way back. He never mentioned having a dau

restaurant and reserve us a table," Terence lightly said.

"Okay." After Kerry went to wash her face, Terence called Julia. She had been waiting for him for a long time, but he had not shown up.

After answering his phone call, Julia asked, "Where have you been?"

"Julia, I..." Terence stammered. "Well, I apologize. I still have business to attend to, and I'm afraid I have to work overtime."

"I see..." Hearing what Terence said, Julia had mixed feelings.

On one hand, she was a little disappointed, and on the other hand, she felt lucky.

Julia was disappointed at Terence for not informing her beforehand.

But she was fortunate; she didn't have to see Terence today, nor did she have to say those cruel words to him.

Julia smiled behind the phone and replied, "Okay, I understand. You can go ahead with your work."

"Julia!" Terence uttered her name just as she was about to hang up.

"Anything else?"

"Never mind. I'll tell you in a few days." Although he was confident that the partnership with the YH Group would push through, he decided to tell Julia when he had sealed the deal.
