See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Your Ex-husband Comes “Pedro, I know you mean well, but I was doing fine now, it’s just that in some people’s eyes, I was considered a failure,” she thought of Rosalie and Elva. Perhaps knowing that she had no backing, these people dared to insult her recklessly. “Who had the audacity to say that you were a eunuch?” Pedro’s beautiful eyes narrowed, his voice as cold as a knife. “No.” Someone who doesn’t care cannot be bullied. As for the people who used to care, they are slowly being forgotten. Just as Claudia was deep in thought, Pedro looked toward her side with an ambiguous expression in his eyes and said, “Your ex-husband has arrived.” Claudia was startled and glanced back, immediately colliding with Edmond’s deep, dark eyes. How did he come? Claudia’s mouth twitched. Edmond lowered his gaze, casually adjusted his cuff, sat upright at the table not far from them, twirled his fingers, and picked up the nearby teacup, a faintly indifferent smile playing at the corner of his mouth. It was like a chance encounter, but with a hint of strangeness. There were jackals and leopards and tigers behind. Claudia chuckled lightly, her long, curly eyelashes fluttering down like butterflies, as she lightly tapped her fingers on the table and raised an eyebrow at Pedro without saying a word. Pedro couldn’t understand her meaning. He did want to mislead the public about their relationship this time, so that no one could bully her, including Edmond. The feeling of being monitored like this now made him extremely uncomfortable. “Let’s go, let’s change the place,” he stood up and reached out to help her with the bag, but Claudia

took it before him. “I dare not let the superstar carry my handbag.” Let him carry his own bag, who knows how the news will be written tomorrow. Pedro glanced at his empty hand and felt a bit empty in his heart. As she got up and left, the orange he had peeled for her was still on the plate.

Once, she used to shout at him specifically to peel. Now she has grown up and also learned to avoid suspicion. When Claudia passed by Edmond, she paused for a moment. The man lowered his head, his slender fingers sliding slowly on the screen, and the wooden prayer beads gently swayed on his wrist. He had an elegant temperament and a maturity that did not match his age. Claudia’s heart ski pped a beat, and she quickly walked away. Edmond stood up, lips pursed, as he caught sight of her leaving with Pedro. Elva timely called him. “Mr. Lamont, wait a moment.” Edmond frowned. Seeing Edmond’s handsome appearance, Elva’s eyes paused for a moment. She has seen many men, but there are not many who look as good as him. It is said that Edmond has always been the school heartthrob since childhood, although he always gets into trouble, he is still the idol in the hearts of many girls. Several years have passed, but his charm has only increased. No wonder Rosalie was completely enchanted by him. “Did you see what happened today?” Elva raised her chin toward the door and squinted her eyes, gossiping, “Your ex-wife must have cheated during the marriage.” Edmond remained silent, his gaze chilling.

“Over the years of being married to you, she has been living off you, eating your food, and even supporting other men outside. Mr. Lamont, I advise you to sue her and demand some compensation from her.” She pouted her lips and kindly “reminded”. No man could tolerate wearing a green hat; it is the nature of men. She didn’t believe that Edmond would be an accident. Elva’s words stirred up not-so-pleasant memories deep within Edmond’s heart. Claudia’s infidelity within the marriage, he knew about it. Generally, men cannot tolerate it, but he was never an ordinary person. “That was a private matter between her and me, Ms. Friedan was too nosy.” He stared at Elva with a gaze of a stranger, his eyes filled with caution. and a hint of disgust. Being scolded by him so blatantly, Elva’s face quickly turned red, feeling too embarrassed to say anything: “I was just standing up for you, after all, you are the person my friend Rosalie likes…” “No need,” he quickly interrupted her. His eyes were too cold and indifferent. It sent shivers down one’s spine. Watching him turn around and leave, Elva felt both angry and anxious. She was clearly doing it for his own good… and yet he turned it against her. Edmond, this person, was indeed mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult for people to figure him out. The mysterious Edmond got out of the car with a cold face. The assistant nervously glanced at their boss through the rearview mirror. He clearly saw what happened in the teahouse just now. His boss from the teahouse was cowering on the side, not daring to even approach and ask a question. T How humble I was… ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Are you still here waiting to be photographed?” Edmond’s cold voice rang out. The assistant finally looked outside and saw that some papara zzi were pointing their cameras at them. “Mr. Lamont, tomorrow’s news…” He could already guess the information that would make tomorrow’s headlines. “Don’t wait until tomorrow, intercept the news now by spending money, including hers and Pedro’s, and also check Pedro’s background while you’re at it.” His hand rested on the handle, and he tapped it gently. Thinking of the scene just now, his gaze darkened, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes. Previously, Claudia and Waldron’s relationship was only filled with suspicion, but today Pedro’s gaze toward her was clearly different. It was the look of a man seeing his prey. In theory, both of them were going to get divorced, so it wasn’t his turn to intervene. But after all, they were once a married couple, and he couldn’t help but want to look out for her. After divorcing him, she would eventually marry someone else. Edmond furrowed his brow and said, “Look up which young adults from Wyvernport had good family backgrounds for marriage.” “Ah?” Assistant Zhang exclaimed, her mouth wide open. “Mr. Lamont, you don’t mean… you want to introduce men to Mrs. Lamont, do you?” Edmond remained silent, assuming it as a default. The assistant’s heart trembled fiercely, and tears almost fell. Oh my go d, did Edmond go crazy? Introducing a man to his ex-wife, this is truly Adron’s best ex-husband! *** After Claudia and Pedro walked out the door, they went their separate ways. Pedro wanted to accompany her, but Claudia strongly refused, saying, “Leave me alone, I don’t want to become famous.” If they had taken the same car, the news would have reported that they checked into the same hotel.

In the past, she used to meet and talk to Pedro in a secretive manner. She didn’t know what was going on with him today, deliberately making such a fuss. After saying goodbye to Pedro, Claudia turned around and left. The news she received today, she was still unable to digest. She looked at the handkerchief Ervin handed her today and got lost in thought for a moment. She had thought of a million possibilities, but she had never thought that she would be a part of the Friedan family. If she was really Seraphina, then she was not abandoned. The determination of the Friedan family to find Seraphina was evident. If she really was Seraphina, then what misunderstanding could there possibly be in between… She walked along the street while thinking. Just at that moment, a black Maybach parked beside her. The car window rolled down, and the driver’s assistant greeted her enthusiastically, “Hello, Mrs. Lamont!” Claudia turned around and saw him, a few traces of a smile appeared on her face. However, when she saw Edmond in the back seat, she couldn’t smile anymore. It’s really a small world. How come I bumped into him three or four times today? The car window rolled down, and Edmond looked at her calmly, “Where to?” Claudia was just about to refuse when the assistant, who had a keen eye, got out of the car and opened the door for her. “Mrs. Lamont, please get in the car. I happen to have something I’d like to consult you about.” “Consult me?” Claudia was completely confused. “Yeah!” the assistant laughed sincerely, “I wonder what kind of man Mrs. Lamont likes, so I can introduce you to her.”
