Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 502

She didn’t even like this place. Yet, here she was—just trying to numb herself, even if only for a little while.

Back at the booth, a glass of water slid toward her. She looked up. It was James.

Her brows furrowed. “Why is it you?”

James could sense her irritation. “Why shouldn’t it be me?”

“You… you saw everything?”

“If you mean the way you were dancing just now, yeah. I saw all of it.” He chuckled softly.

Sarah pushed the water back toward him. “Drink it yourself, Mr. Chancer.”

“You won’t even accept a glass of water from me?”

She remained expressionless. “Of course not. What if someone sees it and twists it into me deliberately drinking your water? No thanks.”

“That won’t happen.”

“Still, I’d rather not. Mr. Chancer, please leave me alone. I just want some peace.” She had no interest in seeing James, let alone dealing with him.

Something flickered in James’s eyes—hurt. “Sasa… do you really hate me that much?”

Sarah glanced at him, her voice flat. “You’re just figuring that out now? Also, Mr. Chancer, call me Sarah.”

James refused to back down. “Then why does Zachary get to call you Sasa? Why are you still holding out hope for him? Sarah, you need to understand—his family and the Wilsons are bound to be together. Vivian and Zachary’s engagement was arranged by their grandfathers.”

Sarah’s voice turned cold. “And how exactly is that any of your business? Whether I still have hope or not—it has nothing to do with you.”

James sighed, exasperated. “Zachary isn’t right for you. Let him go. Even if there was hope, you should give up on it now.”

But hearing it now—so final, so sharp—still made his chest tighten with unbearable pain.

“Sasa, I just want to make sure you’re okay.”

Sarah scoffed. “James, you must be confused. I don’t need your concern. The people you should be worried about are Charlotte, who’s under house arrest, and Lucy, who’s locked up in a psychiatric hospital. Not me.” Her voice was ice-cold as she shot him a sideways glance.

If there had ever been even the slightest trace of lingering affection for James, it was gone now. Completely.

This man had been so ruthless to her before.

And now he wanted to act like he cared?

What was he trying to prove?
