Hunting for His EX-Wife

Her voice was calm and steady, without a hint of emotion.

Mia felt awkward as she faced Anna’s cold demeanor.

“Let’s sit down and talk. This is a restaurant we used to frequent. We’ve tried many of their specialties before,” Mia said as they sat down.

The staff at the late-night eatery brought over Mia’s snacks and placed them on the table.

“I never thought your friendship was so strong. It’s lucky for you to be friends for so long,” the waiter with a smile.

Friendship?

When Anna heard this word, her eyes flashed with complicated emotions.

“We have something to discuss. You can go back to work,” Anna said calmly.

Perhaps sensing that something was off between them, the staff member left after saying “take your time.”

Mia deftly peeled some shrimp and put it on Anna’s plate.

Looking at the shrimp on her plate, there was a hint of sarcasm in Anna’s red lips.

“Mia, just say what you want to say. You’re wasting both our time like this,” Anna said while looking directly at Mia with her clear eyes that were like spring water; she didn’t pay attention to the shrimp that had been put on her plate for her by Mia

Mia let out a sigh softly,

“I’ve been thinking about it for some time now. Maybe I went too far before… Yesterday… What I said in the practice room wasn’t very appropriate either… So let’s make up.”

Make up?

Anna was surprised; is this why she came here?

Just last night they were confronting each other head-on but now only one night later she has shown an attitude of repentance which seemed strange indeed!

Mia thought that if she spoke nicely enough, then maybe Anna would forgive her but after waiting for quite some time without any response from her, Mia furrowed her brows slightly.

But she didn’t give up on her plan because as long as she could get Anna to give up the chance to make a debut, she was confident in winning others.

Knowing how soft-hearted Anna could be sometimes, Mia immediately showed sadness on her face.

“Anna, do you really not plan to forgive me? For what happened before, I’m truly sorry. I apologize to you. I don’t have many friends, and aside from you, I don’t have any close ones,” Mia spoke with deep emotion, causing conflicting feelings to stir within Anna.

Seeing the dishes Mia had ordered, all of them Anna’s favorites from the past, softened her heart even further.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Anna, have some more. Your favorite spicy boiled beef slices,” Mia urged, sensing Anna’s inclination to forgive her. A hint of satisfaction flickered deep within Mia’s slightly lowered gaze, but she hadn’t achieved her ultimate goal yet. She decided to push a bit harder.

She carefully scooped some of the spicy boiled beef slices onto Anna’s plate.

In the past, Anna would have immediately picked up her spoon and chopsticks at the sight of the dish. However…

Her hand gently rested on her belly. Even though she hadn’t decided whether to let this child be born or not, she knew that consuming too much spiciness during the early stages of pregnancy could affect the fetus.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Anna continuously touching her belly and lost in thought, Mia asked with a puzzled expression.

Anna shook her head. Despite Mia’s persistent attempts at reconciliation and her sincere attitude, Anna had an intuitive sense that she didn’t want to share her pregnancy news with her.

“It’s nothing. My stomach hasn’t been feeling well lately, so I can’t eat too much spicy food,” Anna replied softly.

“Are you really having stomach issues, or… are you rejecting me? Anna, can’t we go back to the way we used to enjoy eating together?” Mia’s eyes misted up with a hint of wateriness.

Facing the shimmering emotion in Mia’s eyes, Anna let out a sigh.

“I really do have stomach issues, and I can’t handle too much spice. But still, thank you for remembering my taste,” Anna’s voice grew gentler.

Mia happily took hold of Anna’s hand.

“I knew it, you’ll forgive me. We will surely return to the way things were.”

Confronted with Mia’s enthusiasm, Anna’s brows slightly furrowed. She discreetly withdrew her hand, a distant smile touching her lips.

“Anna, what do you think about the company’s plan to make an artist debut?” Mia cautiously inquired.

Anna shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know much about it, but I believe the company has a plan. As trainees, we should follow their orders. After all… new artists need to have talent,” Anna said calmly.

Her indifferent attitude didn’t sit well with Mia, but she didn’t show it on her face.

“Everyone has talent, but the company only promotes one person. It’s like they don’t value anyone else. This is a big blow to other trainees. You… you know Bryce and Mr. Harrison. If you have a chance, talk to them and ask the company to consider our situation more,” Mia probed eagerly, hoping to confirm Anna’s relationship with Jimmy.

“I’m just like you – a trainee at the company – so I’m not qualified to negotiate with them,” Anna replied nonchalantly. “Mia, if you work hard and have talent, the company will notice.”

Mia nodded absentmindedly and talked about recent events at the company.

Anna remained calm despite forgiving Mia earlier. However, she realized that they might not be able to go back to how things were before.

Mia’s actions made Anna feel them hypocritical but she didn’t put it bluntly.

“Anna, have you ever thought of forming a group with me? We could apply for it through the company,” Mia suggested unexpectedly.

“A group?” Anna was surprised by this idea from Mia.

“Why do you think that? If there isn’t such a plan from the company, then it means they don’t think this plan is feasible,” Anna’s beautiful eyes locked onto Mia as she spoke sternly

Putting down her bowl, Mia wore an expression of excitement.

“You can sing and I can dance; we would make an unbeatable combination! And I believe that as long as we are publicly promoted properly by our agency in entertainment circles, we will quickly become successful.”

The excitement mixed with calculation in Mia’s eyes caused Anna’s lips curve into faint sarcasm while self-mockery flashed across her clear eyes.

“You asked me out today under false pretenses just so that you could use me for your own benefit in order for yourself to debut sooner.” She questioned coldly, “Mia… do you really consider me your friend?”
