You're Just My Ex-Husband,My Lord-Chapter 146-I need your distraction!

Dave had the driver and the translator return to the company first. After finishing his meal, he would drive himself to the company. With that, he stepped forward to catch up with Laurent.

The two entered the restaurant, which was almost empty at this time. After picking up the Brown couple from the airport, they had spent quite a bit of time traveling back and forth. It was past breakfast time, and lunch had not yet begun.

However, since the owner of the restaurant was familiar with Laurent, she decided to prepare a separate dish for Dave. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

When asked what he wanted to eat, Dave looked at Laurent and said, "Just make me the same thing she likes."

Laurent stared at him and said, "I like spicy food. Do you think you can handle it right now?"

His stomach was already hurting; eating something spicy would ruin it further.

He then directly told the owner, "Just make him a light tomato and egg noodles."

Dave, not only unbothered by her decision about his breakfast but actually smiling happily, said, "Then I’ll have the tomato and egg noodles."

The owner of the restaurant smiled at the two of them and went to the kitchen to cook the noodles.

Laurent, unable to stand the smile on Dave’s face, coldly asked, "Didn’t you say you had something to discuss?"

As soon as the topic turned serious, Dave slightly restrained his smile, "I plan to invite the Browns to my place for dinner tomorrow night. I wanted to ask for your opinion."

Laurent glanced at him, "You can decide your own matters."

When did he ever think about asking for her opinion? Hadn’t he gotten used to giving orders by now?

"This can’t be just my own matter. You know I can’t cook. If we invite them to our place, it will definitely be a burden on you..."

Dave said this while watching her expression. Laurent, however, was very calm.

"It’s no trouble at all. I’ve already said I’ll help you properly. If you want to invite them, go ahead. I’ll take care of the hosting."

Dave was once again left speechless. So, every task she did now, she was doing it with the mindset of just getting it done, right? Was there nothing she did that she genuinely wanted to do for him?

The topic ended there, and just in time, the noodles were served. Dave started eating.

Laurent, on the other hand, casually took out her phone to check emails, frowning as she read through them carefully.

On the other side, Dave protested, clearly displeased.

"Can you focus a bit more?"

Laurent looked up at him, not understanding where she was being unfocused. She thought she was paying attention to her emails quite thoroughly...

"You’re holding your phone and staring at it constantly. Are you even eating with me?"

Dave protested, and Laurent replied,

"Just eat your food. Isn’t it better that I’m not disturbing you?"

She wasn’t eating, so did he expect her to just stare at him while he was eating? She knew if someone stared at her nonstop while she was eating, she’d definitely lose her appetite.

So, she was just trying to avoid making him uncomfortable by looking at her phone.

Dave spoke seriously, word by word,

"I need your distraction!"

Laurent: "..."

What a psychopath!

Too lazy to deal with him, she lowered her head to continue looking at her phone. But then, his long arm reached across the table, snatched the phone from her, and smoothly stuffed it into his pocket.

Laurent was furious.

"Dave, how can you be so childish!"

Dave, in a great mood, took a bite of his noodles and replied,

"No one said that men in their thirties can’t be childish, right?"

Laurent: "..."

Laurent truly realized that when a person has no shame, there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.

At this time, there were no other customers in the restaurant, and the owner and his wife had nothing to do. They were watching the two of them bicker from the bar counter. When they saw this, they couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Laurent heard their laughter and turned around, only to find them staring at her. Her face immediately turned red, and she quickly turned back to face the front again.

Seeing her face so flushed, the owner’s wife comforted her.

"There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Flirting and teasing between a couple is completely normal."

Laurent: "..."

She was at a loss for words. When did she and Dave flirt with each other?

Compared to her awkwardness, Dave, on the other hand, seemed to be in a great mood after hearing the owner’s wife’s words. He finished a large bowl of noodles and even said he would come back often when paying the bill.

Once they left the restaurant, Laurent immediately turned towards the residential area and walked quickly, clearly intending to part ways with Dave right away.

After walking for a while, she realized he hadn’t left. When she turned around, she found him leisurely following behind her.

Laurent stopped and asked him,

"Aren’t you going to the company?"

Dave looked very innocent.

"I am, but I need to go back and get my car first."

Laurent glanced at him speechlessly and then turned to keep walking.

In her rush to get rid of him, she had completely forgotten that he had to drive to the company.

While Laurent hastened her pace in front, Dave didn’t speed up to catch up. He just continued walking slowly behind her, always keeping a little distance between them.

He was enjoying this feeling of slowly following her. Love was always mutual. She had once chased after him so passionately, and now it was his turn to chase after her.

After she brought up divorce and after their official divorce, he had been lost and restless for a long time.

He only knew he didn’t want to divorce her, but he hadn’t figured out exactly why he didn’t want to.

He had once thought it was just because he was unwilling, unwilling to let her be the one to dictate both the beginning and the end of their relationship.

Later, he realized it was because he couldn’t bear to let go.

He couldn’t bear her beauty.

He couldn’t bear the warmth she had brought him.

He couldn’t bear the happiness he had felt when he was with her.

Even his mother had once said that he became much more cheerful after getting married, and she had also said that choosing the right wife was indeed important.

He wasn’t someone who wore his emotions on his sleeve, and he wasn’t used to expressing himself, which had kept their relationship in a state where she was the one who was always more passionate.

In reality, he also had passion, but it was all hidden inside.

When she brought up the divorce, it forced him to bring out those hidden feelings, to lay them out in front of her for her to see, and it forced him, the reserved person he was, to expose his emotions, just to prove that he also had feelings for her.

He would feel embarrassed, but in order to win her back, he couldn’t care about that anymore.

Seeing Laurent reach the bottom of their building, Dave quickened his pace and caught up to her in just a few steps.

Laurent glanced at him, blocking her way, then looked at the car parked downstairs.

"You can leave now."

She was really starting to fear him. She had no idea what he was trying to do by sticking so close to her.
