Chapter 59 I’m a Divorcee

Timothy’s extravagant arrangement captured the attention of other couples in the restaurant.

They excitedly whispered among themselves about whether his marriage proposal was a

success.

Just a few tables away, sitting diagonally across from Grace and Timothy, were none other than Frederick and his wife.

It had taken Frederick a few days to coax his angry wife. He had convinced her to come out for dinner with him after rounds of pleading.

Once again, he happened to witness Grace with another man, so he quickly snapped a photo of Timothy’s back and sent it to Benjamin.

“Dude, look at this. Your ex–wife found herself another target. He looks pretty good–looking from the back.”

Meanwhile, at Hawkins Tower, Benjamin was in the middle of a business meeting.

The moment he saw the message from Frederick, his face turned solemn, and his temples throbbed.

The person leading the meeting jolted in shock when Benjamin suddenly slammed his phone on the table.

He grabbed the coat on the back of his chair and uttered unhappily, “Continue. I have something else to attend to.”

Then, he pushed the door open and hurried out to the restaurant.

Back at the restaurant, Timothy straightened his posture and said with a serious tone, ” Milady, I previously gave you a bad impression for recklessly con

“I accept your apology, as long as you never do that again.”

Timothy looked up at Grace, earnest in his eyes. “But you must know that my feelings for are genuine.

At the auction, you effortlessly made that fool of a guy buy a bracelet at a price higher than what it was worth. It was then that your brilliance swept me off my feet.

“On the rooftop, the sight of you crying out in the cold broke my heart. I may look like I understand women and behave like a playboy, but that night was the f

Listening to his heartfelt confession, Grace was totally unmoved. She sipped on a glass of red wine, a faint smile playing on her l*ps. “Do you know that I’m a divorcee?”

Timothy had been prepared for this question, and he didn’t hesitate to show his loyalty.

“Milady, that doesn’t affect your perfect image in my eyes. Not even in the slightest.” “Don’t you know who my ex–husband is?”

“I don’t care who he is or what he does. A scumbag like him isn’t worth mentioning.”

When Timothy had looked into Grace’s background, he had only focused on the fact that she was the general manager of Amirate Corporation and that she was divorced.

The latter piece of information had gotten him so excited that he had immediately rushed to buy her flowers and confess his feelings, failing to check the rest of her information.

Just then, Grace spotted Benjamin approaching them with a gloomy face. Her eyes were filled with mirth as she continued, “Aren’t you worried that I was

“That’s impossible! Whoever that guy is, he’s blind to divorce a perfect woman like you. It’s his loss,” replied Timothy, nearly springing to his feet out of agitation.

Grace gestured toward Timothy’s behind with her chin and said, “That’s him.”

Timothy looked back just to see Benjamin’s face. For a moment, he became stunned and was unable to react. “Benjamin. Fancy seeing you here.”

Benjamin kept quiet, his eyes trained on Grace with a complicated look. Never had he imagined that the target Frederick talked about would be Timothy.

“Hey, I’m talking to you. Why are you staring at Milady?” Timothy smacked Benjamin’s shoulder when he didn’t get a response.

The latter then looked at him, shocked to discover that the woman Timothy had been bragging about was Grace.

At that moment, the three of them were in a stalemate.

Frederick came over and quickly learned the situation. He glanced at Grace, looking around her to see if there was any d*rty water he could use to splas

After a while, he cleared his throat and broke the silence. “Timothy, didn’t I tell you? Ben is your so–called milady’s ex–husband.”

Timothy felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His jaw dropped in astonishment.

Finally, Grace slowly stood up and shoved the bouquet of crystal roses into Timothy’s arins.

Her face was blank as she said, “You can keep it, or perhaps sell it for some cash and take buddies to get their eyes checked.”

“Now, Grace, you’re crossing… the line…” Frederick was about to rebuke Grace when she shot him a glare. The words were stuck in his throat.

“Ben, is what she said true?” Timothy swallowed and asked Benjamin.
