Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect



Chapter 35

Recognizing who had arrived, James's eyes flashed with unease. "Mr. Reynolds, how long have you been here? I didn't know you had a habit of eavesdropping,"

Zachary remained composed, positioning himself beside Sarah without sparing James a glance. "In such a public space, how is it eavesdropping?"

"Besides, Mr. Chancer, Sasa''s your ex-wife now, isn't she? You've lost the right to have any say in her life."

Sasa?

James's face darkened.

Zachary was known for keeping his distance from women, and few people on the East Coast could even claim to be on speaking terms with him. Yet here he was, using such an intimate nickname for Sarah?

His gaze shifted to Sarah, finding her completely unfazed. This inexplicably infuriated him.

In the past, Sarah would have certainly offered him an explanation.

But now she stood calmly beside another man, completely indifferent to his feelings.

James stared intently at Sarah, as if trying to read something in her expression. "Clearly I'm meddling where I shouldn't. I never expected you to become so close to Mr. Reynolds that he'd speak up for you, just days after our divorce."

Having been entangled with this man for years, Sarah understood the implications in his words perfectly. But she had no desire to explain herself. Instead, she let his assumptions stand and turned to Zachary. "Mr. Reynolds, it's getting late. Shall we go?"

Zachary nodded in silent understanding. "Yes, Mia's with her classmates. Let me drive you home."

The two of them walked away without sparing James another glance. He stood frozen, watching as Sarah brushed past him, her shoulder nearly grazing his. His fists clenched tightly at his sides as he struggled to contain the growing storm of anger.noveldrama

Back in his car, James's mood remained dark.

Charlotte sat in the passenger seat, gently tugging at his sleeve with concern on her face. "James, did something happen? I just saw Sarah with Mr. Reynolds..."

"It's nothing." James cut Charlotte off coldly, his mind still troubled by the image of Sarah and Zachary together. Charlotte's face registered shock at his tone.

Realizing his lapse in composure, James pressed his lips together and softened his voice. "I'm sorry, Charlotte. I just never thought Sarah would be the type to chase after powerful men. While I didn't love her, I at least respected her."

"Sarah seems rather ambitious. I don't quite understand her either. You gave her a house and money - she should have been set for life. Yet here she is, trying everything to get close to Zachary," Charlotte said hesitantly.

James furrowed his brow at Charlotte's words, suddenly remembering how Sarah had started pursuing him years ago, after her family's assets had fallen into Melvin's hands.

Charlotte carefully observed James's expression as she continued, "If Zachary truly loves her, we should be happy for her. But what if she's just a plaything to him..."

James caught Charlotte's hand, massaging her palm soothingly. "Charlotte, you're too kind. Sarah just offended you, yet here you are worrying about her. But whatever happens to her isn't our concern anymore. Let's go home." Charlotte gave a sweet laugh. "Oh, it's not that. I just think if Sarah couldn't win your love after all those years, how could someone like Zachary truly care for her in such a short time? When you think about it that way, she's quite pitiful."

Somehow, Charlotte's analysis improved James's mood considerably.

Of course - how could someone like Zachary be seriously interested in a divorced woman?

Sooner or later, Sarah would come crawling back to him.
