CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 30
Richard’s POVI keep glancing at my phone, thinking she will call again, but the strange number from earlier does not pop up, even when the phone finally rings again.It is, mom. Not Eve.“Mom,” I pick up as I step down from the cab I ordered to pick me up from home since I left my car at my mother's.“Where are you?” She asks, her tone laced with concern, "I can't find Arabel either.""I took her home. She was feeling a bit down. I'm coming in now,” I say to her before disconnecting the call.As soon as I enter, Caroline attacks me again. “Richard, are you sure that woman isn't your ex?”“I told you no already!” I halt, turning to face her squarely in anger. She falls silent, biting her lower lips and watching me suspiciously. “If she isn't, then why are you mad?”I sigh.Without a word, I walk away, leaving her by the door. Caroline and I are always not on good terms. It sprung up from the fact that she was quite close to Arabel, and I didn't like their relationship.First, I felt
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 31
Arabel's POVDozing off with a novel in my hand, I decide to continue tomorrow, so I drop the book and step down from the bed.Before sleeping, I make it a habit to urinate before sleeping. This will prevent me from waking up in the middle of the night to do so.I do the same thing for Daisy.Before I can get to the bathroom door, my door swings open, and I whirl around with a frown.It is Daisy.Just the person I was thinking about.I know no one else can burst into my room without a knock, except for her. But seeing her in my room at 11 p.m, when she should be sleeping, makes me furrow my brows and move closer to her in concern.“Hey, what happened?” I inquire, watching her stop and pout.“I can't sleep,” she confesses, hugging my lower body and making me blink.I thought Nita mentioned that she was already asleep.I suspect that Daisy no longer wants to sleep alone in her room since we got an apartment in New York where we sleep in the same room.I haven't been to London in a while
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 32
Richard's POVMy balled fist hangs in the air when the door is thrown open by Arabel and Daisy, dressed for an outing.Before Daisy can notice my presence, my eyes connect with Arabel.The piercing sound of her scream jerks me back to life and makes me shift my attention away from Arabel's beautiful face.The more I see her, the bigger my regrets. The less I see her, the more I want her back with me."Hey, buddy," I say, squatting down to pick her up as she hugs my legs. “How are you doing?”“I'm fine. Why are you here?”My gaze meets Arabel again. Since they moved in, we haven't mistakenly bumped into each other or crossed paths. It was as if we were total strangers and not neighbors.That means one thing.She is uncomfortable with my friendship with Daisy, and she doesn't want Daisy to know I am next door.With a smile, I reply to Daisy. “I drove all the way here to see you.”“Really?” I nod vigorously to express my honesty.“Hi,” Arabel finally greets me, waving at me with a smile,
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 33
Arabel's POVI choked for real.“What?!” My exclamation does not come out right. My tone is too low, barely a whisper.I am melting down to my knees. Hot and irritated.With an unmistakably challenging gaze, he shifts backwards and bursts into laughter, making red crimson creep through my entire face.“Why do you look so shocked? I was kidding, I wanted to jerk you back to life!”If what I was feeling earlier was irritation, what I am feeling right now is pure anger. It bubbles inside of me, from a tiny atom until it springs full blown into rage.He tries to hold me as he laughs, but I jump down from the horse, almost losing my footing.Jerk.Idiot.Traitor.Who the hell does he think he is fooling? Why the hell would he mention such a silly statement?“Hey, Bella!” He calls; his voice is right behind me. I don't need to turn to see if he is closer than I think.Two more running steps bring him to me. He blocks my way, panting heavily. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean…” he trails off.What I
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 34
Richard's POVMy gut churns.As I rush out, I look around for Daisy, but she is nowhere in sight.Following my instinct, I rush back to the ice cream spot, glancing around for a glimpse of her wavy brown hair, but she isn't there.Quickly, I make my way back to the horse riding spot, my heart pounding hard at the thought of not finding her.I will be in deep sh*t.I didn't mean to kiss her. I didn't know what came over me.I should have paid closer attention to Daisy to be sure she was still in.Before I know it, I begin to run as fast as I can, hoping to find her there. I don't know where else to go, and I don't know what to tell Arabel.I feel so much like a bad father already. I need to find her, or I will never forgive myself for this.This is a child I am still getting to know. The same child was brought into the world without my knowledge. Just when I thought I was going to have a chance to right my wrongs, get closer to my child, and seek their forgiveness, this is happening.A
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 35
Arabel’s POVRichard is petty.I can't seem to figure out what just happened now. Did he just act petty, or am I imagining it?I thought he was going to take the cue and leave, so I wouldn't have to argue back and forth with Alex about staying in the same apartment as my ex-husband.There's absolutely nothing I can say to him to convince him that I moved in without knowing we were neighbors.Alex will conclude in his head that he was right all along, and that Richard is indeed a stalker.With Richard gone, I open the car seat to pick up Daisy. She is fast asleep. I lock the cars and head towards him. He doesn't move an inch, and he looks really annoyed.I don't know who told him I lived here. He must have his ways.“Hi,” I greet politely, watching him shift his attention to the sleeping Daisy in my arms. For a minute, I think he is going to help me with her, but he doesn't.When he isn't saying anything, anger begins to shimmer within me, so I walk past him.The one who should be angr
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 36
Richard's POVThe ringing from inside doesn't dissipate my concern. My face is still etched and furrowed with concern.Since last night, that ringing has been going on and off. I can't even figure out if it is her phone or an alarm clock.No one has come out of the apartment, either. Not Daisy. Not her. I also can't hear any sounds, no matter how hard I place my ears on the door.My insides are in disarray. A horrible feeling is stirring inside of me, as though something is wrong or about to happen.It's been two days since we went out, and I haven't set my eyes on her. The fact that the ringing is becoming more persistent and nonstop increases my curiosity.That guy—I don't trust him. He was here two nights ago. They must have had an argument, and it makes me wonder what he did to her.If she isn't in, then where is she?Frustrated, I stalk back inside, hurrying to grab my phone. I dial her number and wait till it begins to ring. A part of me is relieved that her phone is going throu
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 37
Arabel's POVBerlin, GermanyAfter sleeping in for two days without any activity other than feeding Daisy, I decide going out today will do a lot for my mental health.No one knows I am here.Not even Ashley.I just need some time alone to figure things out and get rid of my anger towards Alex.He hurt me deeply with what he said. I will never forget how he said it, as if I were a cheap whore who could easily return to her ex-husband, even if I were to forgive him.Daisy and I are having breakfast at Cappuccino Grand Cafe. Seated beside the transparent window, we can see a view of almost every person walking past the cafe.The menu was in German, but I was able to guess what I wanted. For myself, I ordered a Caprese Sandwich, a Cappuccino, and a Parma Sandwich for Daisy.I am done eating. While waiting for my slow-eating Daisy to finish up so we can take a stroll out before heading back to the hotel, I go through my phone.I didn't care about work when I made that rash decision to com
