Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt

"Anything is fine."

Chester was leaning so close that Charity turned her face away unnaturally.

His gaze lingered on her face for two seconds before returning to the menu.

After ordering and waiting for the waiter to leave, Chester said, "I did some research online, and it seems that their risotto here is famous."

"Haven't you been here before?" Charity asked.

"Who could I have been here with?"

Charity glanced at him. "Who knows? You've been with countless women."

Chester's scalp tingled. It was no wonder so many men were afraid of women bringing up the past.

"But I've only ever loved you."

He held her hand brazenly.

Upon recalling his past, Charity felt annoyed and flung his hand away. "Can you men separate love from your bodies?"

"Charity, didn't we promise not to mention the past?" Chester said frustratedly, "I even lost my manhood and paid the price."

"Serves you right," Charity scolded. "It's so filthy. If it's gone, so be it."

"Yes. You have a point there. You can scold me, but don't let the anger affect your health." Chester smiled and nodded apologetically. He knew that if Charity did not mind his past, it would mean she did not care about him at all.

"I won't. What's there to be angry of?" Charity took a sip of tea and calmed her emotions. She made a promise to let go and stop thinking about the past.

"That's right. Let's not get angry."

In that short moment, cold sweat had broken out on Chester's forehead.

It was no wonder Shaun said he feared women bringing up the past the most because it was truly terrifying.

Soon, dishes of intricately plated food were served.

The restaurant was located in the middle of the city. Although their food could not compare to the private kitchens Chester used to frequent, Chester served Charity wholeheartedly. He even sliced the foie gras and steak for her.

That scene made Charity remember the time when they had just started dating.

At that time, Chester was a few years older than her, but it was her first relationship. She was careful when they were together. When they went on dates, he would always receive many work-related calls, and she always finished cutting his steak after his calls ended.

Thinking back, her feelings of love from when she was young had turned fuzzy.

...

After they finished eating, Chester paid for the meal.

On the other hand, Charity stood by the entrance and waited for him while using her phone.

"Oh, isn't this... Eliza?"

A sports car stopped in front of her. The person sitting in the car was handsome and elegant. He was Monte, whom she had not met for over a year. The roof of the sports car was open, and sitting in the passenger seat was a delicate lady of just over 20 years of age. She looked like a university student.noveldrama

"I almost couldn't recognize you because you wore a mask. I thought I was mistaken." Monte took off his sunglasses and revealed his rows of white teeth as he smiled. "Long time no see."

Charity was stunned. She was so busy being pregnant with a child after returning to the country that she almost forgot he existed. Now that she saw Monte again, she immediately recalled the year she was chased and hit by a car. The Patterson family definitely had something to do with it.

"You haven't gone bankrupt,” Charity said calmly.

Monte's face stiffened. "Watch your words. Our family's hotel business has expanded to Newcastle. That's where I've been for the past year."

“Darling, she's–" The lady beside Monte circled his arm.

"Eliza. You must've seen the movies she starred in," Monte said with a smile.

The lady exclaimed mockingly. "I've heard of her, but I never watched her movies. I was still in high school when she was acting. My family didn't allow me to watch TV."
