The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 56: Vacation Home

Shantelle looked away but was already feeling uncomfortable, her ears feeling warm. She and Evan had walked into the doorway, holding hands. Thanks to Lucas, constantly staring at their hands. It gave her mixed emotions, the kind that Shantelle did

not want to entertain.

Evan, on the other hand, was over the moon. It was just a hand, but it was enough to send happy tingles, reaching his heart. He relished the feel of her soft hands against

his. He noticed how her palm was cold, and

he was happy to keep it warm.

“Woah, nice!” Lucas was amazed at the living room chandelier that he stopped guarding his parents’ hand.

Immediately, Shantelle tried to pull out her hand, saying, “He’s not watching anymore.”

“Oh,” Evan regretfully said. Still, he held

Shantelle’s hand. He pulled her hand up to his face, saying, “Your hands are cold.” He blew air into her hand, covering it with his palms, saying, “Much better.”

He swore he saw Shantelle jolt a little, then she stiffened and gasped. He wasn’t sure if he was affecting her in a good way, but he still tried. “Give me your other hand.”

Evan her other hand. Her hands were indeed

cold, but she wasn’t sure if it was because of

“Thank you.” Shantelle nodded without saying anything and pulled her hand away. She turned to Lucas, saying, “Be careful,

Lucas.”

Then she left Evan to follow after them.

“I know these aren’t the same pieces of furniture, Evan, but it sure feels like it,

Eleanor remarked, her smile reaching her ears, utterly pleased by what she had seen so

far.

From the living room to the bedrooms on the second and third floor, the Scotts saw how it was kept the way Evan remembered it. The beds, the cabinets, how they were strategically placed, all the details were nearly perfect, bringing back happy

memories.

“Ah, this was my bedroom,” Shantelle recalled when she peeked through the said

room.

“And it looks the same!” Eleanor said. She

walked up the window and felt the curtains, saying, “The fabric is… also the same.”
