Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

"Really? That's rare’’ Katherine said with her eyebrows raised.

"Well, it kind of became my habit"' Anthony replied, smiling genuinely.

This was Katherine's first time to meet a man who wasn't fond of drinking.

Because of that, she couldn't help but smile at Anthony in amusement.

"And that isn't a bad thing.’ The two of them were too hungry that they didn't converse much.

After eating and drinking, Katherine wiped the oil from her mouth and took a sip of green tea.

Then, she looked at Anthony with a pair of keen eyes and said, "I'm guessing that you didn't come over just to have someone to accompany you for dinner.I'm pretty confident that there's something else, so what is it, Anthony? Do you need help with anything?"

"You're too smart" he praised, unable to stop himself from laughing because of Katherine's cleverness.

"But kidding aside, I have a request for you"

"Go ahead.I'm all ears” Katherine directly said.

However, in the face of her generosity, Anthony couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as he said, "As much as I didn't want to bother you, this is what happened.I received a call before I went out tonight.’ 

Katherine nodded and didn't bother to interrupt him, curious about what happened.

"It was a phone call from my mother's best friend.She's also my godmother.Although my family has been abroad for many years, I have stayed in touch with my godmother's family.They were nice, so I had a good relationship with them.I even consider my godmother as my second mother’’ Anthony explained.

After that, he paused for a second, trying to read Katherine's expression.

"But you know...elders have a lot of beliefs and norms in life, including the one where they want young people like us to start a family early.My mother didn't care about that at first.She had never pressured me about it, but she became anxious when she saw that I had never had a girlfriend for the past two years.Because of that, my godmother started introducing me to various girls as soon as I returned to the US” Anthony's gaze automatically fell on the floor as he added, "I honestly don't like elders to interfere with any of my personal affairs, especially about love.Also, I already like someone, so I declined every blind date that my godmother arranged for me and told her that I have a girlfriend."
