Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 606

Charlize was unaware of what happened in the audience. When she finished her task and stepped down from the stage, Juliette and the groom had already exchanged rings. At the same time, all the dishes were perfectly served on each table.

Initially, Charlize did not feel hungry. She felt a little embarrassed to stand so upfront with the spotlight overhead. All she wanted was to get down from the stage as soon as possible.

Now that she was off the stage, she suddenly felt hungry upon seeing the table full of dishes.

At her table were seated the bridesmaids and their boyfriends. Besides Charlize and Spencer, there were also Juliette’s best friend and her cousin’s boyfriend.

There was no denying that Juliette was very generous with her wedding banquet. The table was filled with many dishes, including luxurious dishes such as lobster, Alaskan king crab, caviar, etc.

As soon as Charlize took her seat, Spencer poured her a glass of juice. “Does your foot hurt?” he asked in a low voice, causing his breath to brush against her ear.

Charlize’s hand holding the glass tightened slightly, and she replied in a shy voice, “No.”

With the band-aid stuck on and nothing rubbing against her heel, it certainly did not hurt.

“Want some shrimps?”

“Yes, please.”

Spencer filled her bowl with soup. Then, he took some shrimp and placed them on her plate without forgetting to drizzle some of the cocktail sauce.

Throughout her entire meal, Charlize barely had to reach out to get her food. She could simply focus on eating. Whenever she wanted anything, with merely a glance, the man next to her would deftly serve it onto her plate.

In just a few minutes, the others at the table were amazed by them.

Juliette’s best friend playfully nudged her boyfriend with her elbow and said, “Look at how considerate Ms. Johnson’s boyfriend is!”

Next to them, Juliette’s cousin was teasing her partner too. “You didn’t even ask me if I wanted some lobster, let alone serve me food. Our love has changed.”

Though they were envious, they had been in their relationships for quite some time. While they admired Spencer’s thoughtfulness, they could not trade their boyfriends for someone like him, especially after being together for three years or more.

What they said was all in jest and just for fun. However, Charlize blushed while nibbling the Alaskan king crab leg Spencer placed on her plate. She felt like her face was even hotter than the bowl of soup she had just consumed.

Sitting next to her, Spencer seemed unfazed. When he saw her empty bowl, he casually asked, “More soup?”

Charlize nodded and replied, “Yes, please.”

This soup is so delicious!

Molly and Shanny, both single ladies, watched in envy while they silently ate on the side since they did not have boyfriends.

Luckily, it did not last for long. After the bride and groom finished their speeches, the bridesmaids were called to the stage for the bridal bouquet toss.

Within about ten minutes, everyone else hurriedly wiped their mouths and touched up with lipstick before rushing to the stage. None had eaten enough except for Charlize since Spencer did not stop getting her food.

The stage lighting was blinding. When Charlize stepped onto the stage, she could not help squinting her eyes.

The emcee tried to liven things up by asking about the bridesmaids’ romance status.

Most were not single, yet none of them had impending weddings.

The emcee jested, “It’s okay. Maybe the bride could target these two here. Whether they can find their soulmates or not, it’s all on you!”

Molly, who was standing next to the emcee, was not shy at all. She grabbed the microphone and said, “Juliette, toss the bouquet to Charlize! She and Spencer were so affectionate earlier and affected our appetites for all the delicacies on the table!”

Her voice boomed through the microphone, and everyone in the banquet hall heard it. Some laughed, and some applauded.

Shanny pushed Charlize forward, leaving her standing there, blushing with embarrassment.

Juliette glanced at Charlize and jokingly said, “Then I won’t disappoint the crowd!”

She turned around, lifted the bouquet high, and threw it with force.

However, the bouquet did not go toward Charlize. Instead, it flew toward Molly.

The flying bouquet was about to fall toward Molly, but she acted quickly. She grabbed Charlize by her shoulders and moved the latter in front of herself. As for Charlize, she stared at the bouquet blankly and instinctively reached out her hands.

When she returned to her senses, the bouquet was already in her hands.

Charlize subconsciously glanced at Spencer in the audience. They were a bit far apart, and the lighting was too bright, so she could not see his expression clearly, but she knew Spencer was looking at her.

Charlize’s face turned redder, and her ears were hot like fire.

Fortunately, there were no other activities after that. Charlize walked back to her seat with the bouquet in her hands. She glanced at Spencer, feeling like a shy wife and unable to say a word after sitting down.

Molly and Shanny exchanged a glance. They knew Charlize was feeling embarrassed. Molly smiled and reassured Charlize, “Charlize, don’t feel pressured. We’re still young, and you’re only twenty-three. It was just for fun. There’s no need to rush into marriage.”

She then mustered up her courage to look at Spencer. “Right, Spencer?”

Spencer softly replied, “Mmm.” Then he took the bouquet from Charlize’s hand and asked, “Do you still want to eat?”

He was acting as if nothing had happened on stage just now.

Charlize was not hungry anymore, but she felt that eating something would help alleviate the awkwardness. “Yes, please,” she answered.

Thus, by the end of the dinner, Charlize was bloated. When they left, she was uncomfortable walking with a full belly.

She did not dare to tell Spencer, so she could only silently endure it.

Halfway through, the man beside her suddenly stopped and asked, “Are you feeling bloated?”

Spencer glanced at Charlize’s belly. Her bridesmaid dress was slim-fitting. Therefore, her bloated stomach was noticeable.

Noticing his gaze, Charlize stiffened for a moment. “No, not at all.”

Spencer’s brows furrowed slightly. “I feel bloated. Let’s walk slower.”

When they returned to the room, a waiter brought some digestive tablets over.

Spencer followed the instructions and gave her a suitable dosage. “Just chew on them. They don’t taste that bad.”

Charlize popped the tablets into her mouth and chewed. After resting for a while, she finally felt less bloated.

Spencer was making a phone call outside on the balcony. Charlize could faintly hear the man’s deep voice and overheard him discussing a recent project.

Whenever she looked at it, she recalled how she had only been together with Spencer for less than two months. Now that she had “snatched” a bouquet from a wedding, would that make him think she was desperate to get married?

With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Charlize felt anxious and overwhelmed.

She did not know how to explain to Spencer that she was not that kind of person!

Lost in her thoughts, she did not notice when Spencer returned to the room. Seeing her sitting on the couch in a daze, he asked, “Still feeling uncomfortable?”

Charlize shook her head, looked at him, and bit her lip. “Spencer, I’m not desperate to get married. Really.”

It was difficult for her to say these words.

The man’s brows and eyes twitched as he looked at her and suddenly fell silent.

Charlize’s heart raced under his gaze. After a moment, he spoke up. “But I am.”

She was a bit taken aback. “Huh?”

“I’m getting older, so I’m desperate to get married.”
