I Married My Ex's Billionaire Father

Levi returned home, his mood soured by the meeting that did not hold. Anya’s unexpected presence and unhinged behavior did not also help his mood. Her actions had been infuriating and annoying. As he entered the house, a wave of warmth washed over him. The aroma of a delicious meal filled the air, a tantalizing promise of a cozy evening.

"Mrs Van Doren has prepared a meal for you both to enjoy and she has directed me to lead you to the dining room, sir." Mr Dalton said as he collected Levi’s suitcase and jacket.

He was surprised but pleased to see that Lyse had prepared a special evening for them, they might not have started on the right foot but if she was willing, they could right all the wrongs in the beginning of their relationship.

He hurried to the dining room excitedly then stopped abruptly, his heart sinking

Lyse was standing by the window, her head bent as she looked at her phone. Her posture was stiff, her demeanor distant. Immediately she noticed his presence, she looked up and the warmth that had been in her eyes when he left her was replaced by a cold and distant aura. He approached her, his voice gentle.

"Lyse, is something wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.

She continued to stare at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and disappointment. "You know exactly what is wrong, Levi."

Before he could respond, she turned and walked away, leaving him bewildered. He tried to follow her, but she ran up the stairs then disappeared into her bedroom, slamming the door shut.
