The Regretful Ex-wife by Iced Coffee

Chapter 0017 

Sean tapped on the “approve request” button. 

“Hello, Mr. Lakeworth!” 

Very quickly, he received a message from Cecilia. There was even a cute sticker after her message. 

“Hello,” Sean replied to her message. 

“Thanks again for your help in the afternoon!” Cecilia said, expressing her gratitude to him once more. 

Had it not been for Sean’s help, Larry would never have agreed to work with the Worthingtons at all. Sean was the Worthingtons’ 

lifesaver! 

“You’re too kind, Ms. Worthington. If you really wanted to show how grateful you are, you could always treat me to a few more coffees in the future. Haha!” 

“That sounds good to me. But I’m afraid we can’t meet up soon. My best friend is getting married-the one I mentioned to you at the cafe today. I’m going wedding dress shopping with her for the next few days. I’m also going to be her bridesmaid, so I’m going to be busy. 

“But I’ll treat you to more coffees as soon as I’m done being busy! Sorry for making you wait.” 

“Her bridesmaid? That’s good news, isn’t it?” 

“Of course! The last time she got married, I was still studying overseas and couldn’t make it to her wedding. It’s good that I get another chance to attend her wedding. But I think Tina’s last wedding was quite pitiful. She got married to such a jerk!”

Cecilia got worked up as soon as she mentioned Tina’s ex-husband. 

That bastard had come bothering Tina again that day and even beat up her brother! He was such a huge jerk! 

Tina had told her everything over the phone just now. 

“Haha, is that so?” 

Sean’s lips curled up in an awkward chuckle. He was wondering if Cecilia would block him if she found out who he was. 

“It was so! It makes me mad just talking about him!” 

“Then let’s not talk about him,” Sean answered in embarrassment. 

“Mr. Lakeworth, The Mirage will be docking at the Skye City Harbor in three days. Will you be going there?” Cecilia asked, changing the topic. 

“Yep.” 

“You’re also going to attend Mr. Jones’ and Tina’s wedding?” 

“Uhh, no, I’m just going to have a look around the ship.” 

“Ah, alright then. Maybe we might even bump into each other there,” Cecilia replied, sounding as if she was looking forward to it. 

“Haha, you’re right.” 

Sean replied as such, but he thought that it would be for the be they never bumped into each other at all. 

After all, Tina would be there. And Cecilia obviously still had a lot misunderstandings about “Sean Lakeworth”. 

“Oh, Mr. Lakeworth, can I ask you something?” 

Cecilia suddenly changed the topic once more. 

“What is it?” 

+25 BONUS 

“Um, have we ever met before?” 

“Why would you suddenly ask a question like that?” 

Sean was surprised. Did Cecilia recognize him? 

“I was just wondering why you’d help me at Ellipse Corporation this morning,” Cecilia replied, asking the question that had been plaguing 

her mind. 

Sean grinned and asked, “Maybe it’s fate. Do you believe in fate?” 

Fate? 

Cecilia was stunned. She felt her heart racing as she stared at Sean’s 

question. 

Was this considered a confession from him? 

“Uh, Mr. Lakeworth, I don’t think I understand. What do you actually 

mean?” 

While typing out this question, Cecilia noted that her hands were shaking rather uncontrollably. 

“Haha, it’s nothing. I was just kidding.” 

Sean didn’t know how Cecilia felt about his last message, so ried playing it off as a joke. 

However, it only made Cecilia’s heart pound even faster. 

Had she guessed it correctly from the start? How should she reply to him now? 

Should she say that she also believed in fate? But if she did so, wou it seem as if she was too eager? 

Also, what if the other party was just teasing her? Wouldn’t things get awkward and embarrassing between them the next time? 

+25 BONUS 

. 

While Cecilia was battling her inner monologue, Sean thought that what he said just caused the conversation to go south. So, he replied in a rather awkward manner, “Sorry, Ms. Worthington, but I have some. urgent matters to attend to at the moment. Let’s chat again next time. 

“Alright, Mr. Lakeworth,” Cecilia replied. 

However, she regretted not replying to Sean’s last message. If only she’d just mustered enough courage to reply to his text! 

Mr. Lakeworth couldn’t possibly have a crush on her, could he? 

However, she quickly stopped thinking that way when she realized that someone as brilliant as him would never fall in love with her.
