My Evil Husband by Sweet Mia novel Chapter 75

Anna POV

Carson smiled at me and with a teasing tone said "you were late, again."

I gave him an apologetic smile and said "I am sorry. I have to drop the babies at their father's home."

"Next time I'll try to come on time," I added quickly.

He chuckled and said "Don't be serious. I was just kidding."

He was silent for a few minutes then he took some steps towards me slowly and stood in front of me.

"So have you thought about that?" He asked me.

I sighed mentally. He had been asking me for a date for the last two months when he got to know that I had divorced Jack.

I don't know how he got to know about it because as far as I know, dad had specifically told me not to mention my divorce in the Media.

So for the public, I am still Mrs. Anastasia Jack Miller. The name felt normal to me.

I am still using Miller's surname behind my name. I had asked dad about this but he didn't tell the reasons.

He just told me that I have to use it for some more time until Jack gets that project, which he didn't mention.

And that's why I am confused about Carson knowing that I am divorced.

"I can't go on a date with you. You are my employer right now and I... I am not ready." I let out hesitantly.

Something dark flickered in his eyes just for a few seconds then disappeared. 

Must be my imagination. I ignored it and gave him an apologetic face.

He leaned down a little and I pulled myself away to maintain the distance between us.

He put his hand on my cheek and I felt the need to push his hand away but I didn't do it.

He looked into my eyes with intensity and softly said "Please say yes."

His thumb caressed my lips and at that moment I knew that I had to pull away.

It didn't feel right to me. I don't know why? I am divorced, still, I am feeling like something is binding me to him.

It felt like I was cheating on him. Oh god, what is happening with me?

I should move on and focus on my happiness but I just can't do it.

I moved my head to the side and he took that hint to back off. He cleared his throat and said, "I am sorry."

I didn't say anything for a few minutes then with a sigh said "Only a friendly dinner."

His eyes lit up and he said "Of course a friendly dinner."

There was a glint in his eyes which I didn't like even a bit but for the time being, I let it go.

He grabbed my hand, which was on my lap, and kissed it and said "Thank you. Now you can do your work."

With that, he left and I shook my head and focused on the paperwork.

I reached home and saw that dad was not at home and mom was talking to her patient on call.

She saw me and gave me a smile then finished the call. I slumped on the couch as I was tired.

My kids were not at home too so the house was silent otherwise they would be screaming in the house.

"Tired" mom asked me with a worried face.

I gave her a tired smile and said "A little but will get better after taking a warm bath."

"Good. So I was thinking that we should go out for dinner. You, me, and your dad." She asked me.

I sat straight and suddenly my lips started to get dry. I got nervous and licked my lips.

"I... Carson, my boss, had been asking me to go on a date with him but I don't want to and I don't want to make him feel sad so I said yes. But not for the date. I just told him yes for a friendly dinner." I babbled nervously.

I completed it and took a deep breath and looked at mom who was looking at me in amusement.

"You are going on a date, Anna" she smirked

"What? No. It's just a friendly dinner." I opposed 

"Sure Sure." She said with a teasing smile.

Then she stood up and continued "Come I'll help you get ready. After all my daughter is going on her first date- oops friendly dinner."

I sighed and she just laughed and went toward my room and I followed her.

She chose a Light blue-green wrap dress for me and also chose the matching accessories.

After taking a hot bath, I got ready and paired my dress with matching color strappy heels.



My phone beeped and I saw that it was Charlotte who was video calling me.

I picked it up and got greeted by Matthew's lips which he had placed on the screen.

"Ma. Ma." He pouted.

I kissed his pout through the screen and said "Ma Miss you."

I looked around for Mia but she was not there. I asked Charlotte "where is Mia, Charlotte."

She took the phone out of Matthew's hands and said "Mia is with her father. He was giving them a bath but your son ran from there and demanded me to call you."

"He is Mumma's boy. It's time for them to sleep. When are you going to drop them in the morning??" I asked her

I heard Mom's voice calling me from the living room. He must be here to pick me up.

"I'll drop them around 8 o'clock. By the way, where are you going??" She asked me curiously.

"I am going out," I told her quickly.

She was about to say something but couldn't say as I heard the voice which I hadn't heard in 1 year.

"Mia, don't run princess." I heard him saying.

"Charlotte I'll talk to you later," I said and cut the call immediately.

I checked out my reflection for the last time and grabbed my purse and went toward the living room.

Carson was standing in the living room and was talking to mom and he is looking good.

"Ahh. There she is." She said with a smile.

Carson was staring at me like he was looking at something beautiful and unique.

He forwarded his hand and I gave him my hand which he grabbed gently.

"Enjoy." Mom said and we walked out of the house.

He opened the door for me like a gentleman and then he drove toward a fancy hotel.

I was fiddling with my finger due to nervousness as this was the first time I have ever gone outside with a man on a friendly dinner.

We reached and went inside the hotel whose whole floor he had booked for this dinner.

I was amazed that he had done that for me. He must have a lot of money to waste.

He pulled the chair out for me and I thanked him. He was smiling all the time and he was looking excited about something.

We ordered our food and ate it in silence. Then after that, he ordered a wine bottle.

"I don't drink," I said politely.

"Oh. Well, you can have juice then." He said with a smile.

"I want to ask you something." He spoke nervously.

"Yes," I smiled at his nervousness.

He took a deep breath then grabbed my hand and said "Do you remember our first meeting?" 

I gave him a forced smile and whispered "I remembered that time."

"I love you, Anna. It was love at first sight for me. I don't believe in that but still, I lost my heart when I saw you for the first time." He confessed.

I gaped at him with an open mouth and wide eyes. What the hell is he saying? Love and me. 

He continued "I love you so much. I want to spend my life with you."

He left my hand and pulled something from the coat's pocket. It was a ring box.

And now I knew what he was going to do and I am dreading it. I don't want to break his heart but I just can't marry him.

He opened the ring box and said "will you marry me, Anna? I promise to keep you happy and will love you a lot." 

He was looking at me with hopeful eyes and I felt bad to break that hope.

I was about to deny him but then I heard the footsteps on the floor.

"No, She won't marry you. Now fuck off." I heard his voice.

I looked at him after 1 year and he was looking handsome as always. But his eyes have a lot of dark circles.

His eyes were cold and he was glaring at Carson who looked at him with equal hate and coldness.

He didn't look at me yet as he was busy glaring, Carson. He took some steps toward us.

"And why won't she marry me. As much as I know, she is divorced and has the right to choose her husband which was not forced on her." Carson said with a smug face.

Jack just chuckled darkly and looked at me. His expression changed from dark to light, from hate to love.

"Because she is still Mrs. Anastasia Jack Miller and she always will be." He dropped the bomb on me with a smile.
