Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Mr. Clarks here , quick ! Lets take our seats . Theres a new dancer today , and its said she really knows how to shake her body . Collin moved to the side , making a place for Elijah . As he poured the drinks , he asked , Wheres Brian ? Not here yet ? Cooper chimed in , He cant make it . He said his wife is pregnant and has severe throw up , so he needs to stay with her Elijah seemed a bit dazed . He wondered secretly , Did Willow throw up when she was pregnant ? He didnt remember that . Collin clicked his tongue . He said , Marriage is such a hassle , right ? No matter how hard we tried to invite everyone , we couldnt even gather fully anymore . 53 % Roger said , Among our group , Elijahs the luckiest . He got a wife whos better than a nanny , capable and everything . It hasnt stopped him from having a good time at all , and he even got a big and healthy son out of it . The private room erupted into a burst of suggestive , mischievous laughter . I want a wife like that in the future . You might not have that luck . Willow has had a crush on Elijah for years . Hey , I heard about the boss of Regal Group … Dont talk about her . Elijah impatiently interrupted . Holding a cigarette between his fingers , his face cold , he scoffed lightly . Luck ? Shes got a terrible temper and is demanding a divorce . Who wants that kind of luck ? he asked . The room fell silent . Everyone exchanged glances . For real ? Do something for her to pacify her . Elijahs expression darkened . There were times before when Elijahs friends would chatter away , giving him advice to placate Willow . Elijah lazily leaned back against the sofa , exuding an air of debauchery . Placate her ? Cook , do laundry , take care of Booby just because shes acting cold ? No way ! If she wont talk to me , at least I get some quiet . But this time, Elijahs expression seemed different . 1/3 Chapter 16 Roger asked , Is it because of your assistant ? They had all seen that Instagram post . Are they still fighting over it ? Roger added , How about you explain it to her ? Bobbys already this age , and a divorce could affect him . Elijah said , Bobby agreed to our divorce . Everyone looked at each other . They were unsure of what to say next . This marriage wasnt what Elijah wanted . But Willow was Bobbys biological mother . They couldnt bring themselves to encourage a divorce . Collin said , Since its just a spat , itll blow over in a few days , like always . Thats right . Willow letting go of Elijah ? Fat chance ! Besides , as a housewife , how would she survive without Elijah ? Only a fool would really want a divorce . The conversation continued among them .. Elijahs frown gradually relaxed . He thought , Right , Willow stayed at home all year , practically useless except for being pampered by me . Divorce will only be a loss for her . How could I believe that she really wants a divorce ? Im probably being intimidated by her bluff . Dont ever mention her to me again . What a letdown ! he said . Alright , alright , come on . Lets drink ! Wheres that dancer ? Call her over ! The atmosphere in the room gradually heated up . Cooper sat on the sofa , drinking in silence . By eleven oclock , most of the guests had left the private room in twos and threes . Some went home , others took women upstairs to book rooms . Elijah , smelling of alcohol , sat on the sofa , staring at his phone screen . It went dark , and then he lit it up again , waiting for it to dim once more . Cooper stood up and asked , Shall I give you a ride home ? Elijah reached out his hand . 2/3 12:56 Tus , 11 Mar #G He said , Give me your phone ?
