A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 467 A Big Misunderstanding

It took a while for Sandra to regain her composure. She was doing her best to retain her tears which were on the verge of falling.

Embarrassed, Larson was about to take his leave.

"Please wait!" she said hurriedly.

Both the men had their gaze fixated upon her. Sandra quickly returned the bouquet to Cooper, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Fang, you misunderstood us. I'm not familiar with Mr. Xi. Let's continue our date!"

Larson looked back and forth between Cooper and Sandra. He was not sure if he could believe her words.

Looking at the roses that have been returned, Cooper turned to Sandra and said, "Sandra, you've seen every part of me, haven't you? How can you say that you aren't familiar with me?"

Sandra gaped at him, horrified. Realizing this could create a big misunderstanding, she hastily explained, "It's not what you think, Mr. Fang. Please listen to me...

Larson gritted his teeth in silent fury and said, "Miss Shen, it turns out that I have been wrong about you. I know it's normal for a couple to have fights. But have you considered my feelings? You shouldn't have given me hopes! And why is he showing off your love? It's not like he has a reason to hold some grudge against me!"

Seeing his frustration, Sandra explained, "No, listen to me. It's all just a big misunderstanding." She had once bumped into Cooper when he was taking a shower. It was an accident. Nothing more had happened.

"You don't have to give me any explanation." Larson took out a bill, put it on the table and left without looking back.

Sandra, who was tired of having tried to explain, remained silent.

Only the two of them were left. Satisfied with the outcome, Cooper once again gave her the roses and said. "Sandra, now I—"

"Don't talk to me! I am furious with you!" Sandra raised her voice.

For the first time in her life, she had lost her temper to Cooper.

She returned the roses, picked up her handbag and left decisively.

Cooper sat, looking at her receding figure. It seemed like he was in no hurry to catch up with her.

The scene that unraveled had caught a lot of people's attention. However, Cooper felt no embarrassment. Taking the flowers, he left the cafe in his own sweet time.

Sandra hailed a taxi as soon as she was out. She then filled the driver in with her home address.

She sat glancing out of the window, beautiful scenery passing by. As she thought about the events that had passed, her eyes turned red.

Cooper's actions had been very hateful. She had already accepted the fact that he had no desire to be with her. However, she couldn't believe he would stoop so low! Why would he destroy her blind date?

When she arrived at the Shen family house, she noticed a bodyguard standing outside, carrying a bunch of roses in his arms. Seeing her get out of the car, he quickly went over to her.

Sandra noticed what he had come to give. She was rendered speechless.

How did Cooper know that she was going home? What astonished her the most was that his bodyguard had managed to reach here even before her!

"Miss Shen, Mr. Xi ordered me to give you this bunch of flowers today."

Sandra walked straight to the door, refusing to take it. When she noticed he would persist, she said, "I don't want it!"

The bodyguard wouldn't leave. Catching up with her, he said, "Miss Shen, please accept the flowers. After that, do what you want with them."

Sandra knew he was in a dilemma. She had no choice but to take the bouquet.

"Thank you for being understanding, Miss Shen. I will be leaving now!" he said.

"Okay."

After he was gone, Sandra spent a few seconds simply staring at the roses in her arms. She walked towards the trash can.

Before she could stuff it in, she found herself hesitating. The truth was, she was reluctant to throw it away.

She gnashed her teeth, admonishing herself for being so weak. She had decided to let go of this unrequited love. Why did Cooper do such a thing?

Was he under the impression she still loved him?

She held the bouquet in one hand and fetched her phone from her handbag. She found Cooper's name in the chatting box and typed a few words. "Mr. Xi, I don't like you anymore. I intend to start a new life. Please don't disturb me from now on. Thank you."

Taking a deep breath, she entered the house. When Sandra's mother saw the roses in her arms, a big smile made its way to her face. "Sandra, did Mr. Fang give you those flowers?" she asked.

Sandra found herself in a predicament.

She didn't know whether to spill the truth or not. In the end, she shook her head and said, "No."

Her mother was a little surprised. "Then who gave them to you? Also, how did your date with Mr. Fang go?"

Before Sandra could say something, her mother's phone rang. It was a call from the matchmaker.

She surveyed her daughter and got a bad feeling. Sliding the answer key, she answered, "Hello."

"Alas, Mrs. Shen! What's wrong with you? Your daughter is already dating an affluent man. Why would you make me set her up with someone else?"

As these words came from the other end of the line, Sandra's mother stood dumbfounded. She knew her daughter was hiding something from her. She stopped Sandra, who was about to go upstairs. "Who gave you the flowers? And who is your boyfriend?"

Sandra frowned, clearly annoyed. "Mom, I told you I didn't want to go on a blind date. It was you who insisted I should go. Take these flowers and throw them away! I have no desire to keep them!" Then, she put the bouquet on the table and hurried back to her room.

Her mother was vexed. She hated to see her daughter waste her youth and energy on a man who couldn't care less about her. Remembering she was still on a call with the matchmaker, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry. But Sandra really doesn't have a boyfriend. There must be some sort of misunderstanding. I'll talk to her and invite you for coffee later."

These kind words softened the matchmaker's heart. "Okay, you should definitely speak to her regarding this issue."

"Of course, I will."

Sandra was sitting in her room with her phone. She felt her stomach lurch and her heart beat a little faster as she read Cooper's message. "Since you have accepted my roses, you will officially become mine."

Crack! The door of her room was pushed open.

Sandra immediately put her phone aside and tried to look like she was busy with something else. She couldn't muster up the courage to look her mother in the eye.

"Sandra, are you still hung up on Cooper?" her mother asked calmly.

Sandra wouldn't give an answer.

She wanted to say she wasn't.

After all, this was the reason she had finally given in and agreed to go on a blind date.

Sandra's mother felt a dull pain in her temples. She went closer to Sandra and explained, "I've told you this several times but I am going to repeat myself. Although our conditions are not bad, there is a huge gap between us and the Xi family. Even if you marry him, you can't be happy. Before you do anything, think about Maria's life. She had been entangled with James all these years. Haven't you seen the outcome? In the end, she chose to become a nun! And you have to remind yourself how long it has been since you began to chase after Cooper. Has he ever responded? Sandra, you shouldn't waste your life over him. I beg you to move on."

Sandra turned around and retorted, "Mom, I would like to make a small correction. James loves Maria very much and has even proposed to her. It was her decision to leave him. She couldn't let go of the past. Mr. Xi is still in love with Maria. In case you didn't know, he is living in JT Nunnery since he has woken up. He is waiting for her to change her mind."

Sandra's mother knew nothing about it. This came as a surprise. She was under the impression that James was recuperating in the hospital.

"Besides, I just sent a message to Cooper and made it clear I want to break all ties. I told him that I no longer like him."

Listening to this, her mother breathed a sigh of relief. "I am glad you have begun to think rationally. Also, if you really don't want to go on a blind date, I won't force you. After all, you are still young. You have all the time in the world to decide." She felt slightly guilty about forcing Sandra into going on a blind date. She had done it hoping it would distract her.

"I see," Sandra said without an ounce of enthusiasm.

Noticing how unhappy she was, her mother felt dejected. "Your father will go abroad for a business trip in a few days. Would you like to accompany him? It might relieve your boredom."

"I will think about it."

Once her mother left, Sandra was all alone in the room. She took her phone and read Cooper's reply.

Her cheeks were wet with tears. She brushed them away with her hand. One by one, she blacklisted Cooper's contact from everywhere.
