The Billionaire’s Regret
Chapter 25 –

In the corner, not far away, Duke couldn't help but sneer, "Look at those two people over there. What did Simon Albert see to Ivy? She's just a bitch. A gold-digger-What the hell, Wyatt?!" Duke exclaimed when Wyatt kicked his leg under the table. Wyatt followed Duke's gaze, wearing his cold eyes. He gritted his teeth. He retracted his gaze away from the two and looked down at the food in front of him, which was tasteless. He started to lose his appetite.Duke Elrod got curious about how the newly opened restaurants work and also their menus, pulled Wyatt to experience it, and who would have thought that they would see Ivy in here?

Why do Ivy and Wyatt always clash? Fate already separated them. Why does it seem like fate is trying to get them back together again? What if they're really meant for each other? And their situations at this moment were just tests? God always had plans for us. So, it's not impossible, Duke thought. However, he shook his head after. Still, he hated Ivy.

Wyatt didn't eat all the food on his plate, making Duke sigh and call the waitress to clean the table. Duke, who always loves flirting, winked at the waitress.Visit Jo b nib-.com to read the complete chapters for free. Wyatt stood up and started to walk towards the exit when Duke tugged his arm into Wyatt's. "Aren't we like lovers, honey?" Duke teased, wearing a gay tone.

"Wyatt, Duke! Fancy meeting you here," a man's voice uttered, making Wyatt and Duke stop walking.

In front of them is Eric Todd from the Todd family. He was also known in the business industry. Beside him is a female showbiz celebrity who had a chiseled face, round eyes, and curvy body, which they knew was Eric's girlfriend.

Duke sneered. "How did you get here?" he mocked.

"Lula introduced the restaurant. So, we come to have a look and try a new experience. How about the two of you?" Eric arched his brow, "Isn't this a restaurant for couples?" he added. Then suddenly, Eric gasped and covered his mouth. "Don't tell me, one of you...." Wyatt snorted coldly and suddenly shortened their arms as he glared at Duke.

Duke let out a soft chuckle and then faced Eric.

Eric arched his brow. "Are you leaving already? Why don't you join us? It's been a while since we had our last talk, Reed," he asserted, making Wyatt's forehead slightly creased.

As Eric couldn't wait for Wyatt's answer, he then dragged him down and sat on the table near them. Wyatt didn't hesitate, but he shot a glare at Eric.

Then suddenly, Eric's eyes passed through Wyatt and saw Ivy and Simon. "Hey, Wyatt, isn't that Ivy?" he asked as he raised his chin in a gesture and crept a smirk on his lips.

On the other side, the music was pleasant and was tempting Simon to dance. Suddenly, he turned to Ivy and stood up beside her, "Can I have this dance?" he asked, "at least let me experience this moment with you," he added. Still, he's wearing the pain of Ivy's words earlier. He understands why she said those words, but the words are really hurtful to a man like him, who's showing his love interest in her.

Ivy sighed and didn't want to embarrass Simon, she then reached for his hand, and they walked towards the dance floor.

The song Can I Have This Dance in the movie High School Musical played, but it was an acoustic version-slow, soft, and relaxing.

Music cheerfully playing, Ivy put her arms into Simon's shoulders as Simon held her waist. They started to sway and jived into the harmonious rhythm of the song. And Ivy noticed that they were the only ones who were dancing. Even if she replaces it awkward and wants to let go, she doesn't want to embarrass Simon in front of the people's cunning eyes as they gaze and watch them.

And when Simon lifts up his head, his eyes grow bigger when he glances at the person on the right side of the restaurant. He looked down at Ivy, but the latter seemed unbothered and wasn't looking at him. He sighed, and suddenly, an idea popped up into his mind.

Simon then pulled Ivy's and exchanged their position, making Simon's back against the crowd. He lowered his head and hugged Ivy. However, this gesture will mislead people who are watching them. From the crowd's perspective, they might conclude that they were kissing, making those people give them warm applause.

Before Ivy could push Simon away because of his sudden action, Simon pulled her back to their seat. He smiled and said, "thanks for tonight. Let's go."

On the other hand, Wyatt can't help but smirk when he sees what Simon did. However, something pierced inside him, and his eyes turned cold, and his aura became dark.

Duke looked at the back of the two who were leaving the restaurant and snorted. "What the hell we had just witnessed? Excluding their kissing scene, Ivy dance gracefully, huh." "She's your ex-wife, Reed, right?" Eric suddenly spoke. He let out a soft chuckle. "How could she replace another man that easy? What a whore," he added.

Hearing this, Wyatt glanced at Eric through gritted teeth. "What did you just say?"Eric smirked. "Isn't that she marries you because of your money? People knew about that. And we're happy that you two divorced," he laughed, "I remember when you were just got married, we drank together, then suddenly, you went to the bathroom. You left your phone on the table, and she called. I answered it and warned her to know her place. She doesn't deserve you-" Eric paused when a loud thud came from the glass that Wyatt forcefully placed on the table.
