EX-husband, She Comes Back! Chapter 23 A Golden Card
Chapter 23Avery was about to leave the bag to the person as she had little interest in the bag, she wasn't used to fancy things like that as fancy things seemed to be an attention caller.In her previous life, any attention-seeking thing she had she would timidly drop it, no matter what she would still be bullied by the school bellies or be mocked by other students.The first person Avery's gaze landed on made her body stiff instantly, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea wash over her as she fixed her gaze thoroughly on him. She followed the track of his arm which was holding Isabella's waist tightly as if someone was planning on separating him from her.Her mind grazed at that moment as she could remember he never created a chance to take her out. Even on their wedding anniversary, he worked throughout the day and returned at midnight when she had already slept off with an empty stomach.She felt a gush of hatred, betrayal, anger, and sadness run through her veins just by the two pe
EX-husband, She Comes Back! Chapter 24 Oh!
Chapter 24The shareholders had shocked gazes on their faces as they watched the Man walk inside the room, looking healthier than ever. They had been prepared to hear a grim report about his health, but instead, they were amazed by the man who looked stronger than any healthier person. Isn't he in a coma? Curiosity ran wide with just his appearance!“How much are you paid to act like Mr Lucien?” One of the shareholders asked as he found it a little bit to believe the man In Front of him was their CEO. “I was paid nothing, Mr. Hexson!” He coldly responded.It was impossible as the last time he had seen the man, he was looking pale on the sick bed and he would be giving up the ghost any time soon.The man's presence and cold stare were imposing and the shareholders could feel the tension in the room arise. No one knew what to say or how to react to the situation. It was a very dramatic moment that no one could have predicted.Lucien smiled coldly, his eyes dangerously twinkling as he
EX-husband, She Comes Back! Chapter 25 Nonchalantly worried!
Chapter 25 She frowned the moment the car that came to pick Sophia drove off. She turned around with thousands of questions on her mind. She could see him avoiding her gaze which made her realize meeting at the shopping mall wasn't a coincidence at all.“What are you doing here?” Avery asked, tilting her eyes straight at the guard who couldn't bear to look at those eyes of hers.“I came to shop, madam.” The guard said to avoid eye contact.The answer seemed like a genuine reason which anyone could have easily believed but Avery was the opposite. If what the guard had said was the truth he wouldn't be afraid to return the gaze.“ Seriously, you still have the guts to lie to me, huh? And this?” Avery asked, raising the golden card in hand.“I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to lie to you,” The guard mumbled.Avery sighed tiredly seeing the look on the guard's face, even though she was freaking angry about the golden card she would be lying to herself that she wasn't grateful when he stepp
EX-husband, She Comes Back! Chapter 26 Drowning in loneliness
Chapter 26By the time Avery got back to the villa it was already dark that she was pretty sure Lucien must be in the room which was why she didn't bother to meet him and just went straight ahead inside the room and to the extent of telling her maid she wants to be alone for a while.After freshening up, she tied a towel around her chest while staring weirdly at herself through the mirror. The spirit of loneliness was drawing her more and closer and she wouldn't be able to get herself out of the mess.As she looked into her reflection, she raised her hand to gently stroke her cheeks not without thinking “I must have been stupid to think he'll feel guilty.” She thought silently while she bit her lips like a hungry dog.Her fingers tremble slightly as she continues to fix her gaze on the mirror. She couldn't help but be afraid of what was making her tremble in fear.Avery realized she was scared and alone in this tiny world without a single person besides her. But thinking about it she
EX-husband, She Comes Back! Chapter 27 Tampered with his wife's bathing water
Chapter 27The ray of sun glinting through the window shone brightly into the sleepy woman on the bed as she constantly turned around on the king-sized bed before finally opening her eyes which set on the man's back.Trying to sit up on the bed but realized her body had gone limb with her rigid sleeping posture but still she tried to get up until the Man realized she was awake and went to help her up.“Are you okay?” He asked, even though the word seemed cold one could easily sense he meant the three sentences.“What do you mean? Have always been okay.” Avery mumbled as she didn't seem to realize when they suddenly got close that he would ask her such a question until last night's incident flowed into her head.The man could see the shock on her face and realized she must have recalled the incident “You fainted last night .” He said awkwardly with his hands fixed in his trouser pants.“I'm okay now, you shouldn't have bothered yourself. I guess I was tired from the shopping.” She said
EX-husband, She Comes Back! Chapter 28 Suspicious person
Chapter 28The man coldly stalked into the maid's headquarters with Butler Lee at his back, his face contorted with anger,” Who did it?” He demanded, his voice was low but yet coldly dangerous which made the maids look down at their feet unable to look up.“Which one of you dared to tamper with my wife's bathing water?” The man roared like a wild lion. The maids looked at each other, fear and confusion were written boldly on their faces.They all shook their heads in negativity, no one among them was willing to admit to their crime. It may sound weird but the man never wants any of them to admit to their crime rather he wants to personally fish out the person from the hook.The man narrowed his eyes dangerously, he knew that someone among the crowds of maids was responsible for the incident and was determined to find the latter.The man's gaze lingered on each of the maids, studying each of their facial expressions for signs of guilt or deception. He grew more frustrated as he couldn'

Chapter 29Avery carefully swung her legs over the edge of the bed and sat up. She forced herself to get up after the doctor left for some time.As soon as she reached the door, the doctor's words came rushing into her head which was unbelievable for her as the man he knew wouldn't even want to get close to her.“Oh geez! He might have done that out of pity!” She mumbled and steadily pushed the door open. She had been expecting her maid to come over when she woke up but she didn't, which was unusual for her.Avery walked downstairs but found no one in the mansion, the mansion was silent with no maid interaction like usual which was making her throat itchy.“Hello, is anyone there?” “Hello, where are you guys?” She yelled frustratedly with different weird thoughts going through her head.Avery, frozen instantly, the moment ran through her head,” What if she has finally died and she became a ghost that no one can see her?” She thought but that only made her shiver in fear.The silence

The man could see the tense guilty expression on her face.The man stood face to face with the woman, his anger rising with every passing second, which was scaring the hell out of the woman that she couldn't bear to straight into Lucien's eyes and just stared blankly at the floor. She looked pale and through like she was about to faint.“You all dismissed.” Butler Lee spoke up, he knew the two would need some privacy.“Follow me,” The man coldly uttered and walked straight back inside the room.~~~~~“Explain yourself!” Lucien demanded his voice shaking furiously with emotion as he manly turned his back against the woman.Mrs. Monica tried speaking but no words came

Her grip on the orchid tightened and unknowingly the thorn on it pricked on the palm with the orchid flower in her hand.“L…LLL….” She sucked in cold air. “What are you doing here, Mr Lucien?” She stuttered beneath her words as she tried to recover her composure she hid the flower behind her back.Even though she was caught by the man, she wasn't ashamed of her act, rather she was so happy that she was able to touch the rare blue orchid flower.“Brother!”Stephanie screamed as she ran towards her brother with a joyful expression on her face.
