Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 35 Getting injured
I drop my bag on the sofa and step toward her in a stormy mood. "What are you doing here?" I ask fiercely.My insides are burning with rage.Ruby walks down the stairs leisurely as if she is unconcerned about my presence. Her body language demonstrates her confidence. She acts as if she is the owner of the house."I came here because he needed me," she says with a smile that cuts right through my heart.My head is spinning and threatening to explode. "This is your delusion. He doesn’t need you."Ruby chuckles and steps further toward me. "I wouldn’t have been here with him in the first place if he had not needed me. You should try to come home early. Don’t get busy with work so much that you forget about Lance."She walks past me.I can feel my face getting hot. Ruby is giving me advice! This is too much to take.I know what I should do. I don’t need her suggestion."By the way…" She stops and turns to me.I also face her."Lance is taking a shower. I planned to cook dinner for him. S

His kiss washed away all of my rage and dissatisfaction. My faith in this marriage has been restored. I was overthinking a while ago. Ruby’s presence here blew my mind and caused me to suspect him rather than talk to him. Her words should not have swayed me. I should put my trust in him now that I have decided to give this marriage a chance. I hoped he wouldn't let Ruby get in the way of our relationship.Looking at him eating the pasta with fervor, I am content. Life seems easy with him. I find peace even in silence. The darkness, which scares me the most, doesn’t frighten me if he is with me. He is becoming my life. I am not sure if I will be able to survive without him.Lance glances up at me and says, "Finish your pasta instead of staring at me."His mocking remark breaks my trance.I blink and lower my gaze to my plate. It is only at this moment that I realize that I haven’t eaten a single spoon. I was actually staring at him all the time.The heat is crawling up my cheeks. It is
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 37 The rumors
Lance’s POV…The photos of Molly and Edward dining together went viral on social media. I am solemnly observing how people gossip about them. Everyone believes Molly is Edward's fiancée, whom he has kept hidden.Anger is coursing through my veins like lava. I don’t want to believe this gossip, but I cannot help but be suspicious of her. Now I figure out why she was late so much last night.She was with Edward, the man she had stated she did not feel comfortable with. She didn't appear to be uncomfortable in any of these photos. In fact, she seemed to enjoy his company.It makes me think that she has known him for a long time and is pretending to be unfamiliar with him.Why didn’t she tell me anything about him? She didn’t even say anything about her meeting with him last night. What is she trying to hide? What compelled her to accompany him to the dinner in the first place?These questions agitate me.The veins on my forehead are throbbing. My mind is saying that Molly is faithful to

Molly’s POV…I am gaping at the photo in shock. Someone clicked me and Edward together while having dinner last night. My heart slips into my stomach. Lance will surely get mad at me. My hands are trembling."Miss Sanders…" Edward calls out to me. He is saying something that I do not understand. His voice appears to be coming from a distance.My ears have begun to ring. I have the sensation that the world around me is spinning. My body is light as if I am flying."Molly…" Edward yanks my arm and shakes it.I inhale sharply and blink at him."Sit here. Drink some water."He makes me sit on my chair and gives me a glass of water.I drink the water."Listen…" He pulls out a chair and places it right in front of me, then sits down. "Go home. Take a few days' leave. Turn off your phone. Okay? I will take care of the rest."I am staring at him blankly. I don’t know what he is saying. All I can think about is Lance."Are you listening to me?" He taps me on the shoulder.I nod in a daze."Som

I stroke my belly absentmindedly, joy coursing through me. I am pregnant. This baby has the potential to be the catalyst for resolving all of my issues with Lance and saving our marriage from falling apart.I am smiling.‘I should inform Lance.’Then, I pause. My smile is also disappearing. Images of the banquet hall flash through my mind.I haven’t forgotten about the voice message either.Lance has been planning a grand wedding with Ruby. He doesn’t care about whether or not this marriage will last. He doesn’t care about me. It is also possible that he will refuse to accept the baby.I clutch my stomach. Sadness has taken the place of joy in my heart. I look for my bag and phone, which I cannot find. Maybe I dropped them on the road.I am worried about how to pay the bills. I nervously glance at the nurse and say, "Urn… my bag and phone, I might have dropped on the road. I am sorry. I don't have any money with me."Instead of getting angry, the nurse smiles, which is unexpected. Sho

I walk into the bedroom and notice her lying on the bed. I move over and sit beside her, reaching out to pat her on the head.She just shifts her weight and turns to the other side. "I need to rest," she murmurs.I look at her stiff back, disappointed. I had not eaten since last night because I was so worried. I didn't take a bath either this morning, and she is simply avoiding me.Shouldn't she be explaining to me how she ended up at the hospital?I can understand why Edward has not called me. But Molly has no reason not to call me. There are so many things she needs to explain, and all she does is ignore me as if nothing has happened.This is distressing.I respect her decision, believing that I will have enough time to speak with her later."You must be hungry. Let me know what you want to eat.""I am not hungry," she says flatly.I am stunned. This is not the response I was expecting. I thought I would cook and eat with her. She just dashed my hopes.I leap to my feet and storm in

Lance’s POV…I am rendered speechless when I see her put her hand on her tummy in a protective manner. I don’t know, but there is an inexplicable intuition in my mind. I'm starting to get excited.At first, I had intended to fuck her hard; hard enough to remind her whom she belonged to. I wanted to show her how madly I loved her. But all my anger and disappointment vanished the moment I saw her guarding her stomach. I began to move slowly, afraid that my ferocious movement would harm her and the one she was protecting.My heart is about to burst from the amount of adrenaline coursing through my veins. I keep my gaze fixed on her. Her eyes are filled with a mix of affection and intoxication. They are also curious as if she is looking for answers.I don’t know.It should be me to ask her questions.I shrug off all the questions in my mind and concentrate only on her and these intoxicating moments. As I increase the pace a little, she asks me to release outside.Damn…My doubts are getti

Molly’s POV…I slowly roll over to the other side and reach out to find him. I cannot feel him. All I feel is coldness. The emptiness around me makes me restless. I immediately open my eyes and take a look around.He is not in the room. The house is strangely quiet.‘Did he leave?’ I am curious.My heart twinges at the thought of him going to Ruby. I slowly sit up, a dull ache in my abdomen overwhelming me. I wince and rub my tummy. My entire body aches, reminding me of last night's madness. I am still sore down there.These discomforts are nothing in comparison to the agitation in my heart.I dejectedly clamber down the bed and enter the bathroom to freshen up. I have so many things to discuss with Daisy and plan to call her after I take a shower.After taking a bath, I wrap a towel around my torso and exit the bathroom.Creak…"Good morning." His voice rings out inside the room, catching me off guard.I shift my gaze to the door and see him coming in with a tray full of food. I thou

Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 92 The finale
I am somewhat taken aback as I notice the quick change in her expression. Then I realize her distress is because of what Edward did to me."Look, I have nothing against Edward." I hurriedly try to explain. "What he did is undoubtedly wrong. But it is also true that he kept me safe from Ruby’s torture. He had some misunderstandings. The moment he realized his mistakes, he released me. So, don’t be sad. Okay?"Daisy has a bitter smile on her face. Honestly, that smile doesn’t look good on her. If I had not been injured, I would have held her hands and comforted her.I can only say, "He is not perfect. But he is not bad either.""I know," I hear her say when I am about to say more. "I know him well. I am not sad because of him. Basically, it was not his fault. He was only looking for the woman he had a crazy one-night stand with. It was me who was trying to hide from him. It was I who remained silent when I realized he had mistaken you for me. I could have told you everything, but I didn
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 91 Schooling Ruby
Lance’s POV…My hands are itching to strangle her to death. But I don’t have time now. I need to stay with Molly. I will deal with this bitch later, and I swear, I will teach her a good lesson."Take her to the dungeon," I command. "Make sure you will treat her well."Treating her well entails not allowing her to sit quietly, and the guards understand exactly what I mean.I turn to leave."Lance…"I pause at the doorstep and look back at her."Don’t be so cruel. It is me, Ruby. I love you, Lance. Whatever I did was for you. All I want is to be with you. Please, don’t let them take me away. Consider the time we spent together. You like me. Didn't you say you would always look after me? Didn’t you say you would be grateful to me forever for saving your life? You cannot forget your promises. Please, Lance. I beg you. Take me back. I swear, I will not hurt Molly."I glare at her. I can see right through her mind. How pretentious she is. She is capable of outperforming Oskar-winning actres
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 90 Desperate attempts to escape
I dodge the attack and turn swiftly aside, pushing her away.Ruby stumbles, the knife slipping out of her grip.Before she can get on her feet, I pick up the stool and throw it at her. The stool collides with her back as she attempts to stand up.I don’t have time to check if she is able to stand up or pick up the knife. I turn around and flee to the door. It is shocking that I cannot open the door. I twist the knob again and again, but I can’t unlock it.What the hell is going on? Did the lock get jammed?I still try to unlock the door, twisting the knob repeatedly."Hahaha…" Ruby’s laughter resonates inside the room.I freeze and turn to face her."Oh, Molly… you are too naïve," she says between the laughs. "Do you think I am also stupid like you?" She gets to her feet, her expression darkening. "I won’t come here without preparation, risking my life. I have been waiting for this day to meet you again face-to-face. And it is the best day to kill you on your wedding day."She bends a
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 89 Ruby has shown up
A month later…Molly’s POV…This is our wedding day. It is a grand wedding that any woman will dream of. The hall, which is decorated with various flowers, is packed with guests. The media is also present.I have a feeling that I have suddenly become a celebrity. My wedding gown is designed by a well-known designer. It looks so pretty.It is a strapless ball gown that fits snugly around my breasts and widens from the waist, hiding my slightly protruding belly.After holding my hair in a messy bun, the makeup artist completes my makeover.I check myself in the mirror and smile shyly."You are glowing," the makeup artist says. "Mr. Stevens will not be able to look away from you today."I blush to hear her compliment."My bestie is the prettiest one," Daisy chimes in as she walks into the powder room. She inspects me, holding my shoulders. "You look gorgeous. Your and Lance’s photos are going to make headlines tomorrow.""Has the groom arrived?" The makeup artist asks, beaming with a smi

Lance returns after some time. I am relieved to see his wound is properly bandaged."We are heading to the restaurant for dinner," says Edward. "Are you coming?""No." Lance denies his offer, his gaze lingering on me. "I will ask the room service to deliver the food here.""As you see fit. Shall we go?" Edward nods at Daisy.Daisy hugs me and whispers in my ear, "Enjoy your meal with your husband, and let me enjoy my boyfriend’s company."I smile in response.They walk out. Now, I and Lance are alone in the room. We continue to stare at each other silently.Lance has told me many things today. He has been honest with me. He has cleared many doubts in my mind. I now know that he genuinely loves me. I also understood why he always took care of Ruby.He was only trying to repay her favor.Favor?I am still perplexed as to when Ruby saved him and how. I cannot help but say, "I’d like to know how she saved you.""I will tell you everything." Lance holds my hand and takes me to the bed. "It
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 87 Ruby is a cunning woman.
Lance’s POV…My heart aches when I recall Molly’s sad look that evening. I was confused and apprehensive at the time and couldn’t reveal it to her. I wanted some time to think about it before concluding anything. So, I didn’t tell Molly anything about it when she asked me.That was another mistake I had made. However, I don’t want to repeat the mistake, so I decide to disclose everything to her."The doctors said that there were some complications in her pregnancy, and the fetus was weak. He recommended bed rest. Ruby often called me while I was at work and cried a lot, saying she feared her baby would suffer from cancer just like she did. I pitied her and used to go to her to console her."I pause when I notice her suspicious look. I know exactly what she is thinking. I clasp her hands. "Believe me, I only intended to console her. I owe her this life. She saved me once.""She saved you!" she exclaims, a look of disbelief spreading across her face.I nod. "Yes. I am taking care of her
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 86 His explanation
I cannot stop crying. I feel so guilty.Out of anger, I came so far away and put myself in danger. Because of me, Lance got hurt. I shouldn’t have acted impulsively. I could have stayed at the resort and questioned him."Sorry." I apologize to him again."Stop crying," he consoles me. "Listen up. The rain is getting heavy. We need to take shelter somewhere."I don’t know how far the village is from here. Since it is getting dark and raining, nothing is clearly visible. Furthermore, I don’t know how the people will be. As I look down at the three people lying motionless on the ground, I cannot help but shudder.I don’t want to put my trust in the villagers. I’d better head to the next bus stop."There…" Lance pointed to the right. "I can see a building there. Let’s go."I also spot a building-like structure in that direction. But I am reluctant to go there. I tug on his wrist and stop him."I'm not sure what danger lurks there. What if we come across more goons like these?" I nodded to
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 85 Lance rescuing Molly
Molly’s POV…I am so lost in my thoughts that I don't realize all of the passengers have left. The driver asks me to get down since it is the last stop.I hesitantly get off the bus and take a look around. The area is deserted and looks scary. I don’t know where to go. At this moment, I regret acting recklessly. I shouldn’t have come so far away from the resort.It is started drizzling now. I have to get to the bus stop shed quickly. I take my phone from my purse, thinking to call Daisy."Oh!"I am stunned and disappointed at the same time when I see no signal on the phone.I dejectedly sit down on the bench and look at the road dazedly, hoping the next bus will come soon.Maybe a taxi.I remember Lance running after the bus. I wonder if he is still looking for me."Will he come here looking for me?" I murmur in a trance."Are you waiting for the bus?"I almost jump when I hear a husky voice.Three men are coming toward me, smiling vilely.I immediately know I am in danger. I stand up
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 84 Molly falling into trouble
"Molly, you are getting it wrong," he says. His nervousness is clear in his demeanor.Why is he so nervous if he has done nothing wrong? What is he trying to hide?I scowl at him suspiciously."Yes, she was here. Believe me, I didn’t call her. She came here on her own." He comes in closer and holds my hands."And you met her secretly," I add, my heart tearing apart.He hangs his head down and nods slowly."Why?" I snarl, withdrawing my hands. My fingers are shaking in rage. My insides are clenching in agony. I get emotional, and I cannot say a word.All the bitter memories from the past rush into my mind, making me feel that he can never forget Ruby. He always preferred her and rushed to her whenever she called him. I am sure he might have done the same thing."I met her because she was depressed. She was…""Depressed?" I scoff before he can finish speaking. "She is always depressed… pitiful. You always go to her. Why, Lance? If she needed you, I wouldn't have stopped you from going t
