Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 801

Just as she was about to speak, the restaurant's violinist suddenly switched to a romantic melody, and across the table, Lester stood up.

Then, as if by magic, he produced a bouquet of fiery red roses from behind his back!

Anastasia's heart skipped a beat, and she was overcome with the urge to run.

But Lester gave her no chance, approaching her with the bouquet in hand.

"I know this is sudden, but I don't want to live with any regrets. It was love at first sight for me, Anastasia. Will you give me a chance?"

At that moment, the other diners in the restaurant noticed the commotion and turned to watch.

Some let out playful whoops, casting encouraging and good-natured glances at Anastasia and Lester, the center of attention.

Anastasia shot to her feet, her scalp prickling with anxiety.

She forced an awkward smile. "Mr. Calderon—"

She was about to explain that she was already married when a group of people walked in through the restaurant's entrance.

"Mr. Harrison Lancaster, our restaurant is quite popular with young couples. What a coincidence to walk in on such a romantic scene today..."

*Mr. Harrison Lancaster?*

Anastasia's heart leaped into her throat as she whipped her head around.

The moment their eyes met, a single thought screamed through her mind— *I'm so dead.*

Why was Harrison here?!

He said he was going out for an inspection today!

The restaurant owner continued his glowing remarks, but noticing that Anastasia was staring at their party and completely ignoring the man holding the flowers, he joked to Harrison, "It seems our leading lady is a bit shy today..."

But when the owner turned back, he saw Harrison's face was thunderous, his eyes churning with rage.

"Mr. Harrison Lancaster...?"

"Hubby—"

After a brief moment of shock and guilt, Anastasia snapped back to her senses and rushed toward Harrison.

"Hubby, please don't be angry. Just listen to my explanation! I barely know Lester. I was just here to return something to him. I had no idea he was going to do that!"

Tears of frustration welled up in Anastasia's eyes; she felt so wronged.

If she had known this would happen, she never would have come! She should have just asked for his address and mailed the item back, even if it seemed rude!

"Lester?" She couldn't see Harrison's face, but his voice was as sharp as ice. "You even know his name, and you're meeting him behind my back. You call that barely knowing him?"

Anastasia said hastily, "I was just here to return something to him!"

She thought the word "date" could be used normally, but in this context, it felt so wrong!

"Return what?"

"I was returning—" Anastasia hesitated, realizing this would only add fuel to the fire.

But she couldn't risk hiding anything from Harrison now, not when his imagination could run wild. Steeling herself, she told the truth. "Back in Fairhaven, he gave me a gift as payment for treating him..."

Before she could finish, Harrison understood. His voice was bone-chillingly cold. "It was him?"
