Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 363

"I won't be around on your birthday," Waller said casually, his hands never stopping their work on the vegetables. "So I ordered a cake. We can pick it up this evening."

Willow was a bit surprised. Her eyes settled on the man as she asked, "Are you trying to celebrate my birthday early?"

"Yeah," Waller admitted openly, his voice deep.

Willow was about to tell him not to go to the trouble, but before she could speak, Waller explained, "If we're putting on a show, we have to go all the way. Once I get the cake, you can take a picture and post it on Instagram or something."

Even though Waller had absolutely zero dating experience, some things were just instinctual. Once awakened, he could go from zero to a hundred effortlessly.

Hearing this, Willow couldn't help but smile and ask, "Have you really never dated anyone before?"

Looking back on their month of "dating," Waller had been the one constantly filling in the gaps to make their relationship look more believable.

Whether it was making it official on Instagram or going out on perfectly timed dates for public displays of affection, Willow had never experienced any of this, even when she used to have someone she genuinely loved.

Ironically, now that her heart was completely dead to romance, she was experiencing all these milestones one by one with her ally.

Waller glanced up casually, and for a moment, he was captivated by Willow's slightly teasing smile.

His heart started racing uncontrollably.

The next second, he smoothly shifted his gaze back to the task at hand before replying, "No."

"You're the first."

"Even if it's fake."

The words slipped quietly from Waller's lips.

Willow didn't think much of it and even made a self-deprecating joke. "Looks like I'm dragging you down, then."

Waller couldn't help himself and looked up at her again.

He wanted so badly to tell her they should just give it a real try—no acting, just a genuine relationship.

But reason told him that now wasn't the time.

Over the past month, similar situations had happened a few times. Like that time at the police station when Ryan suddenly pushed him forward, causing him to almost crash into Willow. Her reaction back then was incredibly subtle.

She had tried desperately to control herself, staying completely rigid.
