Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Celebrating Your Successful Divorce
Evelyn Curtis’s ambiguous response was actually more effective than a direct one.
Judging from Justin Battleson’s previous statement and Evelyn’s attitude, the reporters had a clue.
The press conference ended, stoking the buzz and number of topics surrounding Evelyn. When she got home, she lounged on the couch, reading social media comments and her skyrocketing fans count.
Is this the so-called highlight moment?
No, this is just the first highlight moment.
Evelyn Curtis, she will make sure to live her life brightly.
She wants everyone, whenever they think of a highlight moment, to associate it with her name, Evelyn Curtis.
A royal blue Porsche stopped at the entrance of Yeats Restaurant.
The waiter very tactfully ran to open the car door.
Charlotte Thompson got out of the car, looking at this western restaurant that once seemed unreachable to her.
After parking the car, Henry Hudson stood next to Charlotte.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just waiting for you."
Charlotte turned her head and said with a smile.
"Let’s go."
Henry Hudson reached out his hand, but Charlotte didn’t take it.
Thinking on his feet, Henry switched hands and gestured for her to go ahead.
They walked into the restaurant side by side, and Henry pulled out the chair for her.
Once they were seated and had ordered, Charlotte finally asked her question.
"Why did you think of bringing me here today? You don’t seem to like this kind of western food."
"Yeah, but today is a special day, we’re celebrating your successful divorce, so we should eat what you like."
At these words, Charlotte couldn’t help but chuckle.
Who celebrates a divorce?
Perhaps Charlotte is the first one?
Indeed, who else would be forced into marriage and then so eager to divorce?
Life had gotten too dramatic, even a TV drama wouldn’t dare portray it like this?
"Okay, if that’s the case, then I’ll be the one to pay for our meals today, order whatever you like!" Charlotte said with a cheery laugh, showing a generous spirit.
Henry Hudson echoed: "Since Miss Thompson is generously treating, I won’t hold back. I’m definitely going to cost you a bundle."
The dishes arrived quickly.
At this point, Charlotte was indeed hungry, so they both started eating without a word.
In the middle of the meal, Henry went to the restroom, and Charlotte, who had nothing to do, started scrolling through videos on her phone.
As luck would have it, the first video was about Evelyn Curtis’s press conference.
She swiped it away instinctively, but the second, third videos were all about her.
Oh man...
Is Evelyn popular or is the big data too sensitive? Sending recommendations about Evelyn Curtis her way relentlessly.
Since it was like this, Charlotte resigned herself to the situation and stopped at the current video to give it a look.
It happened to show the part where Evelyn called Justin.
"Between you and me, there’s no need for thanks."
The deep and gentle voice of Justin was something Charlotte had never heard before.
For some reason, there was a pang of loss in Charlotte’s heart.
In the end, she shrugged.
"Why am I thinking about this? It’s not my business anymore."
That must be what they call self-consolation.
Suddenly, the lights in the restaurant went out with a "boom", and it was pitch black.
Luckily, they were sitting by the window, the neon lights from the city outside shone in, providing just enough dismal light to vaguely see what was in front of her.
Charlotte was just about to get up and ask when the lights were coming back on.
But before she could move, a melodious violin sound echoed through the room.
Looking over, Henry had changed into a suit. Gone was the image of a naïve and refined young gentleman. The man standing before her looked more like a noble and talented gentleman.
She knew that Henry Hudson was an excellent doctor, but she never knew he had such a profound knowledge in music.
The melodious sound of the violin was mesmerizing.
