After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Chapter 944

Chapter 944

In the speeding car, raindrops tapped against the window glass. The atmosphere inside was a bit strange.

Jasper had read many guides on taking girlfriends out on dates, so he spoke calmly with a seasoned tone and asked Evie, "Shall we go see a movie first? Is there anything you want to watch?" Evie's face turned red. Watch... a movie? Was this moving too fast?

Seeing her silence, Jasper glanced at the girl sitting in the passenger seat during a red light. Her porcelain white face was tinged with a faint blush and she looked particularly adorable.

His straight male heart suddenly softened. He waited until the car behind honked impatiently before he snapped out of his daze and realized that he had been staring.

He quickly released the brake and rushed through the intersection. His hoarse magnetic voice sounded again in the car, "Evie? Don't you want to go see a movie with me?"

A hint of panic and shyness flashed across Evie's eyes as she gazed outside at the scenery passing by. Her voice also became somewhat hesitant - quite different from her usual carefree tomboyish image. Looking at her cute appearance, Jasper couldn't help but curl his lips up into a smile.

Thinking about how strong she was when carrying rocks in disaster areas made him even more pleased.

"How long are you back for this time? Are you still going on business trips?" He didn't want to pressure her too much so he changed topics instead.

He remembered Sylvia always liked sending her on business trips abroad - either Middle Evroya or Aettosa.

"Not for now." Evie finally found her voice again but her face remained as red as an apple with an inexplicable honey-like hue shining through it.

"We're here." Jasper parked his car neatly then opened his door before helping Evie out of hers. They were now in an underground parking lot near their destination. the cinema.

Jasper naturally took hold of Evie's hand while walking towards elevator direction while pulling out his phone to open up ticket purchasing software.

"Fast and Furious 9 is showing now; do you want to watch it together? There's also family film My Cousin Sisterand Mountain Cliff Upstairs," said Jasper as he scrolled through movies playing list while pressing elevator button simultaneously.

"Did Boss' The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady get taken down yet?" Suddenly remembering this film title, Evie curiously asked Jasper about it.

"I'll take a look," Jasper said, leading her into the elevator. "It's been out for a week now and they promoted it heavily when it was released. I'm guessing Mr. Maskelyne has been busy with the pilot competition these past few days, so Mrs. Maskelyne hasn't mentioned it. If we had known it was out, we would have definitely supported it by buying out the whole theater!"

As he spoke, he purchased two movie tickets.

Originally, he had planned to buy all of the empty seats for this showing but when he refreshed his screen almost all of them were sold out already! This was the most recent showing and there were only twenty minutes left until showtime. The next showing and even the one after that were nearly sold out as well - clearly this movie was popular!

"Looks like Mrs. Maskelyne's film is doing pretty well," Jasper remarked as they retrieved their tickets from the machine.

They made their way towards the theater entrance where a long line had formed with everyone waiting to get in.

Evie took out her phone and scanned through an app on her phone. "My boss has some serious talent - making movies is just child's play for him! This movie has only been in theaters for a week and already ranked third at box office sales; I bet in just a few more days it will be number one."

"Judging by how much everyone seems to be looking forward to seeing this film, getting first place is just inevitable." Jasper glanced at real-time box office rankings which showed that first place belonged to some comedy series which had quite a following among die-hard fans.

However, looking at all of negative reviews below its ranking score revealed that many people who went into watching with high expectations ended up disappointed because there wasn't much substance or humor involved - overall feeling bored instead!

On contrast though 'The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady' scored very highly with 8. 9 points along with numerous positive reviews flooding its page.

"It seems like audiences can tell whether or not someone put effort into making their films," Evie commented before closing her app again and checking their time slot since ticket check-in had begun outside while people slowly moved forward towards entry doors ahead of them.

Soon enough they reached security check point then entered hallway leading directly towards screening room where they found their seats easily before settling down comfortably together readying themselves for what promised to be an enjoyable evening spent watching quality cinema!

Jasper realized something at this moment, they had been so focused on discussing Sylvia's movie that they forgot to buy snacks like popcorn and milk tea for their date. How could he forget such a crucial part of watching a movie? He felt embarrassed and said, "What do you want to drink? I'll go buy it."

"I already had popcorn during the day. Let's just get some water from the vending machine over there. I want iced red tea," Evie remembered seeing an automatic vending machine near the theater entrance. Besides, it wasn't appropriate to leave now that they've already checked their tickets.

Jasper nodded quickly and said, "Okay."

As he rushed out with his long legs, Evie couldn't help but smile silently at his embarrassment. She knew what was going through his mind.

But she felt warm inside like the spring sun shining down on her.

In no time at all, Jasper returned with two bottles of iced red tea in hand along with two bags of chips from the vending machine.

He thought to himself as he walked back; thank goodness for automatic vending machines - it eased his embarrassment.

They sat down in their seats just as the advertisements ended and the opening credits began rolling on screen.

Everyone had heard about this movie's basic plot before its release but sitting inside a theater watching it was an entirely different experience altogether. The female lead was stunningly beautiful; her vest kept falling off while she remained honest and kind-hearted throughout everything. She always believed in punishing evil-doers while protecting her loved ones until she achieved extraordinary success by herself.

The 90-minute film explained everything about her life clearly enough for everyone sitting in front of their screens to enjoy thoroughly.

After leaving the cinema hall upon finishing up with everything else there was still one thing left - dinner!

"It feels surreal after watching this movie," Evie said aloud as if talking more so towards herself than anyone else around them.

"This female lead is basically... a replica version of our boss!" Jasper laughed out loud since Sylvia wrote this script herself based on personal experiences.

He looked at his watch realizing that it was already past eight o'clock pm now saying. "Let's go eat."

The cinema complex is located nearby many high-end restaurants and entertainment venues within its commercial district surroundings.

Jasper took Evie into one such restaurant which served western cuisine where luxurious decorations adorned every corner imaginable including beautiful tassels hanging overhead from chandeliers casting romantic lighting effects throughout every inch of space available within sight.

There were quite a few customers dining here too!

"Let's sit by the window," Evie pointed to the white Evodroupolian-style dining table with a pair of white chairs on either side, facing each other.

Jasper agreed eagerly, "Sure."

He chivalrously pulled out a chair for Evie and gestured for her to sit down.

Evie graciously took her seat, and Jasper sat across from her.

The restaurant echoed with melodious music that was both elegant and moving.

This was Evie's first time having dinner alone with a man. She had been feeling shy and nervous but hearing this beautiful music unconsciously dispelled her inner anxiety.

She turned her head to survey the surroundings of the restaurant and noticed a white piano in the corner. A beautiful woman was playing it skillfully.

Although Evie didn't know much about music, she thought this piano piece sounded lovely.

Before long, two steaks were served on their table by a waiter. Jasper picked up his knife and fork gracefully cut into his steak. The meat looked juicy and appetizing as he sliced into it - making it look very tempting indeed!

Evie didn't hesitate; after watching one movie earlier that day she had worked up an appetite! She picked up her own knife and fork to start cutting into hers too soon slicing through it like butter!

As soon as she tasted the steak in her mouth, she closed her eyes blissfully. It was so delicious! Satisfying one's taste buds could be so pleasurable sometimes...

She continued eating while burying herself in food; although not particularly elegant or graceful at times but still not unappealing either way...

Jasper simply watched quietly as he ate his own meal while looking at Evie lovingly all throughout their dinner date together...

However, this idyllic scene was suddenly interrupted by an unexpected voice behind them. "Evie? Is that really you?"

A sharp female voice rang out from not far away behind them both...

Evie lost all interest in eating when she heard who it belonged too- Teun- what garbage of human being.... How unlucky can one get?! Even going out for dinner can lead you to bumping into trash like this?!! Teun walked over wearing high heels clacking against the floorboards loudly as if trying hard to make herself known before even speaking. "Long time no see," She scolded "Why didn't you come back for my child's full moon banquet? You made our family lose face."

"It's your family event - not mine," replied Evie with fake politeness plastered across her face "I'm just your estranged foster daughter, remember? So don't speak so intimately."

"I don't care, I finally ran into you. I shamelessly asked for it - what about the gift for my baby's one-month celebration? If you're not prepared, you can just transfer the money directly to me and I'll pass it on to Eudora."

Eudora sneered coldly and asked her for the money outright.

"Besides, the Anto family has raised you for so many years. You should repay them in some way."

Evie was somewhat convinced; this was truly a case of having no face or skin left.

"I'm sorry, but the baby belongs to Eudora, not me. It's not my obligation to give money. Or is it that the Anto family is so poor that they can't even afford to raise their own children?"
