The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 8: Ignored

Evan could not believe his eyes. Shantelle had always been conservative. Evan liked to think of it that she preserved herself for him. He was her first, and oddly, he had never been intimate with anyone, other than his now ex–wife.

Shantelle was never the kind to go out in a club, nor did she enjoy dancing in the middle of a crowd, wearing a skirt above her knees.

She was fashionable, but she rarely showed off her skin in public. To Evan, Shantelle did not have to wear sexy clothes to know she had a gorgeous body.

Seeing Shantelle wear a laced dress that hugged her frame, Evan ‘sucked in a breath. His eyes studied how her golden hair bounced from side to side, her hips swaying as she danced with her friends.

Evan was familiar with Shantelle‘s companions, especially Karise. One thing he was relieved about was the fact that she did not come into the club with a man. He already guessed this night out was something Karise had decided upon.

“Our Shanty is really beautiful,” Wendeļl remarked. “That, she is,” Keith said. Then he stood up and announced, “Well, I better dance with the most beautiful girl in the club.”

“What are you doing, Kieth?” Evan asked in irritation.

“What? Can‘t I dance with a friend?” Keith suggested with a sly grin. Then he gave Evan his back and walked to the dance floor, finding Shantelle.

Evan eyed as Keith and Shantelle spoke to each other. He saw her smile. Instantly, he felt his heart being squeezed by a hand. How long has it been since Shantelle smiled that way? She used to have that glowing face, a smile that could launch a thousand ships. Yet, that all faded through the latter part of their marriage.

“They look good together,” Nicole remarked, her eyes fixed on Shantelle and Keith. She turned to Evan and tried to get his opinion. “Don‘t you think so, Evan?”
