Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 340

Watching them goof around, Sarah couldn’t help but laugh.

As she laughed, she suddenly felt something cold on her face. She looked over to see Mia grinning mischievously—there was cream on her face.

“Mia, you’ve turned naughty!” Sarah exclaimed, standing up from her seat and grabbing a plate of cream. She chased after Mia with playful determination.

Melvin sipped his red wine and smiled as he watched them.

His gaze drifted toward the front door, and he frowned slightly. Was Zachary really not coming?

Earlier, before the cake was brought out, Melvin had noticed the disappointment in Sarah’s eyes. Though she hadn’t said anything outright, Melvin, who had watched her grow up, could read her emotions like an open book.

Still, at least she seemed happy now.

Lost in thought, Melvin suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. Turning around, he saw Sarah.

Her hand was already reaching for his cheek. Before he could react, Sarah smeared cream across his face with a triumphant grin.

“Join the fun, Melvin!” Sarah laughed brightly.

They played and chased each other around for nearly an hour before finally settling down. Once the energy faded, Sarah’s mood began to dip again.

Mia noticed Sarah’s quiet sadness and knew it had to do with her brother. She walked over with Scarlett to cheer her up. “A new bar just opened. Want to check it out with us?”

Sarah shook her head. “I’m a bit tired. Maybe next time.”

“Alright.”

Scarlett and Steven said their goodbyes and left. Before Mia left, she stopped in front of Sarah and said, “Sarah, I’m really sorry on behalf of my brother. He didn’t mean to miss your party. He’s been excited about it for days, but something big must’ve happened at work. Otherwise, he’d never break his promise.”

“Why not?” Sarah raised an eyebrow.

“If I had insisted on not letting you invite him, then his absence tonight would’ve been because of me—not because of anything else,” Melvin said, his gaze complicated.

He didn’t like seeing Sarah like this.

He had been thinking about it since dinner, replaying the events in his mind.

Sarah let out a small, mocking laugh. “Melvin, you don’t have to take it so hard.”

She understood that by allowing her to invite Zachary, Melvin had already been looking out for her.

Raising her wine glass, she clinked it against his with a light smile. “Melvin, I’m happy today. Really.”
