Comeback to me, Wife!

Chapter 16: Regretted it all

Cailey's POV

I looked at Mr.Aiden's face as he was also looking at me. He smiled a bit and signaled me to finish my food.

I smiled back, forcedly. I shouldn't be bothered. I shouldn't be affected. I already decided to end what's between me and Russell. So it doesn't matter if he is having meals with other woman right?

"Let's continue eating" Mr. Aiden said

Russell and Rylee was sitting two tables away from us and I bet they didn't notice us, which I was thankful that they didn't. I don't want to be in the same place with them. Even just for a minute, but I have to bear with it.

"I'll take the paycheck and we'll head out."

I nodded with what Mr. Aiden said and wiped my mouth. The waiter went to give the paycheck and Mr. Aiden paid for it, got up and offered his hand to me.

I stopped, looking at his hand. Once again, I looked at their table and saw how Rylee clung on Russell's arm, feeding him with some steak! I don't even remember when have I ever did that on my own husband. Seeing it now, made me realize that I really wasted so many years of my life. I wasted it all because I was blinded.

I looked at Mr. Aiden's hand again, up to his face.

I admit it, he has a nice feature for a man that any woman would want. He has this long thick lashes just like Russell's, but his were darker.

I can't help but think about what Mindy said. Could possibly, Mr. Aiden really...

"Take my hand, it's starting to feel numb!" Mr. Aiden said, chuckling.

Absent mindedly, I took his hand and got up. I tried to hid my face, not wanting Russell to see me, and not wanting to glance at them again either.

When we got out of the restaurant, I stopped and thought why.

"Why did you stopped me from looking behind?" I asked.

Does he know something? How? Did Russell told him? No, he couldn't, right?

"Get in the car first!"

I stared at him, trying to look for an answer but I failed. So, I had no choice but to get in the car and wait for him, maybe I should ask him when he get in. Just when he was about to get in, Russell came walking towards us.

What is he doing here?  Did he noticed us?

Russell approached Mr. Aiden. They were talking outside the car, Russell looked mad while Mr. Aiden looked relax just like he always does. He was tapping Russell's shoulder but Russell irritatedly removed Mr. Aiden's hand. Russell looked at my direction, he was about to walk towards the car but Mr. Aiden stopped him and he said something.

I can't hear them!

Later then, Mr. Aiden went inside the car and Russell left.

"He didn't see you. My car is thick and fully tinted. So don't worry."

"He's my husband" I said right away, more like confessed, I was closing my eyes.

Buy I heard nothing in response so I opened my eyes only to see him staring. I thought he would be surprised but he wasn't. He just stared at me.

"You know? Did you?" I managed to ask and he nodded.

"I would lie if I said no." He answered, smiling a bit " In fact, Russell is my best friend since we were twelve."

I was shocked. They... what? He is Russell's bestfriend?

"H-How? I didn't know! You weren't in the wedding..." I trailed off at the mention of wedding. A forced wedding to be precise.
