The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 72: The Second Date
“So, where are we going? How are you going to wow me?” Shantelle asked as she got comfortable on a leather seat.”How much
did you pay for this flight? This is really posh.”
Right after breakfast, Evan and Shantelle left for the airport. Miguel and Andy came with them as part of their security. There
were other passengers whom Shantelle did not know, but she did not bother
asking, seeing how they regarded Evan with respect.
They boarded a private jet and settled in the middle seats, where a table was available for eating and having
refreshments. What surprised Shantelle was how elegant the aircraft was. It wasn’t the same kind that Evan booked
for them when they traveled to Rose Hills
from Warlington.
“Um. A few thousand dollars. As for our
date, it’s a secret, remember? You’ll need
to wear a blindfold when the aircraft is
about to land,” Evan revealed before
winking.
When the aircraft finally lifted off the runway, Shantelle said, “If we are going outside the country, you better have
gotten my passport.”
“No, no. We are going to go around the
air and do skydiving,” Evan said out of
nowhere.
Immediately, Shantelle’s eyes widened. She retorted, “Are you trying to kill me, Evan? I can’t do skydiving! I’m afraid of heights!”

Evan laughed. He put his arm around her and teased, “Don’t worry, I’ll jump down first and catch you when you fall.”
“What kind of date idea is this, Evan?”
Shantelle smacked Evan on the arm and
angrily said, “I swear if you are taking me skydiving, I will visit you in the villa and put a cockroach in your room!”
“What? What kind of comeback is that?”
Evan asked, his laughter unwavering. “It
comforts me, however, that you intend to
visit me in our matrimonial home,
regardless of your intention.”
Indeed, Shantelle knew him well. It
wasn’t that he was afraid of cockroaches,
but he disliked them to the core.
In the next few minutes, Evan and Shantelle bantered. Eventually, Evan admitted they would see a special place, and no, they
were not going skydiving. Still, he did not disclose their final
destination.
Soon, a flight attendant served the couple
red wine with nuts, grapes, and cheese. It was only after taking four glasses of wine that Shantelle dozed off in her seat, her
head resting on Evan’s shoulder.
Hours passed, and Shantelle awoke with a grumbling stomach. She had a blanket around her and felt Evan’s arm wrapped
around her waist. Shantelle
comprehended how she was resting on Evan’s chest. She looked up at Evan and asked, “Evan? Are we still flying? What time is
it?”

When she checked her watch, she was alarmed to know they had been flying for five hours! No wonder she was feeling
hungry.
Despite her panic, Evan calmly ordered the food to be served. He said, “Eat lightly. We will arrive in two hours and have our
special dinner there.”
Shantelle’s mouth fell to the floor. They were going for another two hours? Just where was the man taking her? Sadly,
Evan wasn’t giving her any clue. Thus,
she followed his orders and ate the five-
star-looking food. Evan ate with her, and after the meal, he asked, “You can take another hour of rest, or if you’d like, you can
prepare for our date. There is a stylist on board to do your hair and makeup. I
also have a dress for you to wear.”
Shantelle opted for the latter. After
sleeping for five hours straight, she
wouldn’t feel sleepy, even after another
set of wine.
The dress Evan bought for her was in the shade of indigo. It covered her arms up until her elbows. It had a satin top with
Swarovski stones embellished on the
neckline. The skirt of her dress was in a darker shade of indigo, with two layers of
fabric. The outer layer was a lace, where the hem was embroidered with flowers
and decorated with more gems.
Evan had also prepared a set of gold jewelry for her, a golden purse and heels of the same shade.
A stylist did her hair and makeup from one seat at the back while Evan changed in the bathroom. An hour later, both of

them were done.
Shantelle thought Evan looked gorgeous, wearing the same shade of tuxedo as her dress. As usual, his hair was combed
upward and styled with gel, and he always had his beard grown only up to two millimeters. He smelled of expensive perfume,
and he had that sexy smile that he had confidently worn over the past few weeks. Shantelle could only assume it was
because she had allowed their
relationship to develop this way.
‘Heck, it better be!’ She thought.
“A blue shade makes you stand out,
Shanty,” Evan suggested. “You look so beautiful.”
The flight attendant gave Evan a bouquet of sunflowers, and he passed it to
Shantelle. He said, “I heard Aunt Eleanor had been planting the seeds, so don’t think it’s a waste.”
Shantelle only chuckled. She held the flower with care and replied, “Yes, soon we will have a plantation of sunflowers. Next time
you give me tulips, include the bulbs so we can plant them. Mother is now considering getting into the flower business, thanks to
you.”
“Tulips plus bulbs – got it,” Evan acknowledged. He ushered Shantelle to their seats, and from there, he took out a blindfold.
“Sorry, but we are almost here.
It’s time to cover your pretty eyes.”
Soon, Evan and Shantelle arrived at their
date site. Shantelle was absolutely
clueless. The pilot did not announce
where they landed as well. After the airplane, Evan guided her to the runway, directing her to pose for a photo with
him.

“Smile for the camera. Miguel is taking our picture and no, don’t remove your blindfold,” Evan said, holding Shantelle by the
waist. He claimed, “First memory
of our second date captured.”
Shantelle complained about how her eyes were covered, but Evan assured her they
would have another photo upon their
return to Rose Hills. This time, with her eyes looking straight at the camera. For now, she would have to bear it.
They hopped in a rented car and were on
the road for only ten minutes. Evan said, ” We are here. Are you ready to be wowed?” He leaned in and whispered into
Shantelle’s ear, “Do I get a really long kiss if your jaws drop?”
Shantelle laughed and pushed him away.
She said, “I’m not wowed yet.
Evan was smiling from ear to ear as the car pulled to a stop. Andy and Miguel
escorted them to a famous structure in
the city. It was already late when they
arrived, so only a few people were
around. Moreover, Evan paid for private time at the said tourist spot, including an exclusive dinner. The place was
practically closed only for their date.
“It feels cold,” Shantelle remarked. “Why didn’t we leave the flowers in the car?”
“Because, we will capture every memory, including how you hold your flowers,”
Evan suggested. “Are you ready to see where we are?”
“I am very curious,” Shantelle said. After

all,
they had been on the super-fast plane for seven long hours!
“Miguel, prepare to record Shanty’s
reaction,” Evan ordered. He held
Shantelle in front of him. He couldn’t
contain his smile as he slowly removed
her blindfold.
When Shantelle opened her eyes, she
stared at Evan curiously. She smiled at his excitement and heard him say, “Turn
around, Shanty. This is the trip I missed
taking you in the past.
})
Shantelle did not recognize her
surroundings just yet. Her brows met at
Evan’s suggestion. Soon, she lazily
turned around, and the moment she saw
where she was standing, tears rolled
down her face, her heart fluttered, and her jaws fell open. “Oh, my god! Evan! I – I can’t believe this!”
Shantelle felt goosebumps all over, seeing

the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the city of love. When Shantelle and Evan were married, she had hoped they would take this trip and
experience the romantic side of Paris, wishing it would make Evan realize his feelings for her.

It certainly was the vacation she had always wanted. Sadly, Evan had only
offered to take her after their divorce, but
it was already too late. What was the point of going to the city of love if you had lost the one you love?
Shantelle did not know for how long she
gaped at the tall tower, her eyes looking at its peak. Her knees weakened. She
almost lost her balance, if not for Evan
supporting her back. Recalling Evan’s
presence, she turned to him and embraced him tightly. She broke down in tears, completely in disbelief.
Evan stroked her back and said, “When you left Rose Hills, I had booked a trip for us to Paris, remember? We didn’t get to go,
and that was entirely my fault. So let me make it up to you, Shanty. Let me take you to the places you have always
dreamed of going, and let’s make memories together.”
“Tell me where else you want to go, and
I’ll take you and Lucas. I’ll never put it off
again – never,” Evan swore.
Shantelle and Evan remained to hug each
other for minutes. It took a while for
Shantelle to feel soothed. When Shantelle
pulled away, she looked at Evan with

tender eyes. She gazed at Miguel and
Andy. They were both smiling with
contentment.
She returned her attention to Evan, feeling her face, and ears burn. She stuttered in her words as she softly said, Um, but – but
we can’t make out here.” She bit her lip, embarrassed at admitting she wanted to kiss Evan.
Evan laughed. He leaned in and simply pecked Shantelle’s lips. He revealed,
After the dinner at the tower, I’ll take you to the perfect place where... we can make out all night.”
