Wooing My Ex-Wife

Whitney quickly shook her head and denied, “N-No, it’s not.”

Zendaya playfully covered her mouth, her eyes twinkling mischievously. “Why are you blushing, Whitney? Are you feeling shy?” she teased.

Caught off guard by the little girl’s straightforward comment, Whitney felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. She lowered her head and remained silent, unsure of how to respond.

Even to the most casual observer, it became apparent that Whitney harbored feelings for Charles. In fact, Charles himself was beginning to recognize the possibility, a realization slowly dawning upon him.

After a moment of contemplation, he turned to Zendaya, who was sitting beside him. “Zendy, do you like Whitney?”

The girl nodded her head enthusiastically and replied, “Yes! Whitney is so kind to me. If she becomes my godmother, I would be incredibly happy!”

“G-Godmother?” Whitney was taken aback by the girl’s words, her cheeks turning even redder. Nervously, she twirled a strand of her golden hair around her finger,

Charles lifted his gaze to observe Whitney more attentively.

Although he had encountered her regularly at the oceanarium, he hadn’t paid close attention to her appearance.

Now, he realized that while she may not possess conventional beauty, there was an enchanting allure about her that captivated him.

Whitney possessed exquisitely defined features, highlighted by her golden hair and captivating blue eyes, which exuded an alluring and exotic charm. Her fair complexion complemented her graceful figure, lending an air of elegance to even her black waitress apron.

Whitney’s blushing cheeks, accompanied by the occasional playful tucking of a strand of hair behind her ear, imbued her already captivating presence with a subtle touch of sensuality.

Charles’ eyes narrowed, his gaze shifting from Whitney to Zendaya. As his mind raced with thoughts, a plan began to take shape within him.

“Ms. Mellor, while I’m uncertain if I am the man you have been searching for all these years, I do recall encountering you in Tayhaven. Am I correct in remembering that?” Charles inquired.

The woman kept silent, prompting him to continue saying, “I’ve recently been attending blind dates, as you may be aware.”

She lowered her head further and replied, “Yes, I’m aware.”

“I wonder if you’re interested in me, Ms. Mellor?”

Puzzled, she asked, “What do you mean?”

“We have known each other for quite some time, and there seems to be a certain level of connection between us. If you are interested in exploring that further, we could skip the entire blind date process and go on a date tomorrow.”
