Too Late, Ex-husband 97. Not Coming
“Ms. Crawford, It's okay to go alone. Matt's parents will soon come for him… I heard your parents are here.”The teacher tried as best as she could to coax the girl gently. Wondering what was happening, Clyde stepped inside the classroom with Violet.Yet, Mimi didn't notice them.She appeared to be engrossed in her sadness, and her attention was on the kid sitting beside her.Pursing her lips, she stared at the teacher. “I'm not complaining, Miss. Joseph. I'll wait until Matt’s parents are here.”Clyde exchanged glances with Violet, his confusion reflecting in her eyes.It appeared Mimi had already made a friend on her first day.While other kids were excited to meet their parents and go home, she was only eager to accompany this kid.“Mimi, just go home. I'll be fine by myself,” said the boy who appeared a little bit more mature than his age.He held Mimi's hand, giving her a resolute look. “I can't leave you by yourself, Matt,” Mimi protested.But the boy reached out and patted he

If it had been before, Violet would have been ecstatic.In the past, she'd always wanted to go out with him, to be recognized by the world as his wife.She didn't care if her parents would find her or find out. All she wanted was his complete love. Indeed, she'd always been sad whenever he attended those kinds of events without her. But his reason at that time was to protect her from his enemies.Whenever he was shown on the news with Cora by his side, she'd always have to suppress her gloom and show that she didn't care. Well, now, Clyde was serious about taking her out. She'd almost thought that he said that in his office only to spite Cora. But he appeared to mean what he said. Did that amount to anything, however?Was it gonna change her stance? “Don't you think it's unfair?” His sullen voice halted her. Violet paused just as she was about to step out of the study room, contemplating his statement.What made it unfair?Was she supposed to agree just because he asked her out?

Oh, goodness! No!As if her heart would fly out of her chest, it raced like a train on a railway. Violet gasped as she came face to face with the man, the desire in his eyes sending a turmoil of emotions building up inside her. “You shouldn't have done that,” He grunted as if struggling to control himself. “You shouldn't have kissed me in the study room. Do you know how much I've been holding back these past few days?”Clyde picked her up and placed her on the bed, his movement so rapid that she didn't see it coming. Oh, no!Did she poke the beast without knowing?Violet had acted out of instinct. If she knew a mere kissing would lead to this, she would have thought twice and suppressed her emotions.Because,Even she wasn't herself right now.Yes, she shouldn't have done that.As Clyde hovered above her, fiddling with her blouse's buttons, she breathed heavily letting her arms fall to the side. Like two desperate teenagers exploring each other for the first time, she could think

Oh, If only that was possible.How Violet wished that would happen. If Becca had the power to end her marriage with Clyde, she would have done it on the first day.“How disappointing, you can't. And I'm unfortunately stuck with your son forever!” Violet shot back. She didn't stop walking and entered the house.To make sure the crazy woman didn't come after her, she locked herself inside the guest room. She could hear commotions coming from the living room. She could hear Clyde’s voice. She could hear the two women speaking with him. Their voices weren't low and his mother's command resounded in the house. “It is time to fulfill your promise, Son. Remember you and Cora have been betrothed since you were young.”“Who does that in this generation?” Clyde sounded annoyed. “Without evidence, I don't believe you.”“Well, if I provide evidence, will you divorce that filthy girl and marry Cora instead?”“No!” Clyde didn't waste a second to reply. “I'll, instead, sue you and Dad for doi

Urgh!She wouldn't for the sake of her baby alone, tie herself back to the man, right?Her emotions were more important. Maybe the building desire to stay wasn't only because of her baby alone.Damn! What was she thinking?Unable to catch any more sleep, Violet stared at the ceiling for a while. And then, she left the room to head downstairs and get something to drink. But the moment she stepped out of Mimi's room and walked down the hallway, a strange fragrance engulfed her senses.It almost felt familiar, bringing out the fear she'd only just experienced. Was she imagining it?Frowning, Violet proceeded downstairs, shoving those thoughts aside. Yet, the fragrance got stronger, muddling her mind. She paused for some seconds and held the stair railing to pull herself back together. Weird!Why was she suddenly feeling strange?What was this eerie feeling in her heart?Violet took another step, struggling to compose herself. Her mind told her to go back, her footsteps getting hea

His mistress.Cora again?The sound of her name had Clyde's irritation acting up. Did Cora have something to do with her sadness?What trick was she up to again?Violet looked disoriented as she rained down insults on him. Clyde was too shocked to react to her hitting him constantly on the chest. But he feared that her screams would wake everyone up, especially Mimi. So he picked her up and entered his bedroom.“Hey, let me go! Get your filthy hands off me!!!” She kept on hitting him even as he put her down.Her tears flowed like a dam and her shoulders trembled.Violet stared at him furiously, balling her fists and ready to attack him once more. “Clyde Crawford, are you crazy or what-”He kissed her before she screamed again. Amidst the confusion in his heart, Clyde tried his best to calm her down.Yet, he had underestimated her strength. She pushed him away and he landed on the bed. Instead of running out of the room as he expected, Violet suddenly pounced on him, strangling h
최신 업데이트 : 2025-03-31Too Late, Ex-husband 103. Clear The Misunderstandings
Watching from the window, Violet hoped her eyes weren't deceiving her. As Clyde pulled her out by the hair and threw her out of the gates, she almost felt pity for the girl. It was the middle of the night, after all. However, whatever Cora was about to go through wasn't comparable to what she'd just made her go through, right?It felt so real that she could still see the visions. So it was all hallucinations. It wasn't real. Yet, her heart still broke inside thinking about it. She wasn't herself yet despite the assurance that it was fake. If she hadn't overheard Clyde's conversation with Cora, she would still believe that he cheated on her. So, a hallucination could have this much effect. Was it the same thing she experienced five years ago?Because it all felt similar and familiar. Still, she couldn't see any reason why Clyde made her take those birth control pills.Violet stood there for a long time, lost in her thoughts. She didn't realize when Clyde returned. She didn't

… At Another End of the City. Fuming, Cora tossed her phone across the bathroom wall. Watching the expensive device shatter against the floor was nothing in comparison to the rage inside her heart. Damnit!Did she mess up this time?Who knew her plan would backfire immediately?Who knew that bitch would escape her trap again?“Careful, Dear.” A chuckle sounded behind her. “That wall cost millions. If you end up destroying everything in my home, I'm afraid your price will double!”Groaning inside, Cora rolled her eyes. She hated herself. She hated his filthy hands running over her body. Sitting inside the bathtub, she had no chance to wallow in her own misery all thanks to the nosy man who couldn't keep his hands off her. Honestly, she regretted coming here.But where else could she go in the middle of the night, half-naked? She couldn't believe Clyde did that to her. All because of that bitch, he disregarded her safety and threw her out when the whole world was asleep.“Rema

Too Late, Ex-husband 117. The Foreboding Feeling
A twin?Who?Violet could believe Freya was only bluffing if only her best friend hadn't looked deadly serious.She even told her Asher was in town.She told her so many things that she couldn't grasp a single statement.“Listen to me, Violet!” Even an hour later, Freya was still persistent in convincing her. “It's not like I don't trust Asher. But I have a bad feeling about all this. He found the exact replica of you and called her his wife- that's absurd, Asher vowed he'd love you forever!”Asher’s love for her wasn't the thing that mattered the most.The idea that she had a lost twin out there was what scared Violet.How?And when?As far as she could remember, she neither had any sister nor siblings.She was the only child her parents had. Her parents divorced while she was young, but her father wouldn't have a daughter who was the same age as her and also looked exactly like her.Violet thought she looked more like her mother.She'd inherited most of her physical features.“You s
Too Late, Ex-husband 116. Indulge
…At Crawford Villa. It was still dark. If only morning could come fast.For she couldn't catch a wink of sleep.Cherish their love…Forever?Clyde's statement still resounded in her mind.She didn't know why she was losing sleep over this. She couldn't tell where this feeling of guilt was coming from. She'd planned to leave him eventually. She never planned to forgive and forget.He must have his own reasons for feeding her those birth control pills.Her feelings for him must have resurfaced, getting even stronger than before, but she had an obligation.A promise to fulfill.Asher was still waiting for her.“Violet…”In the dead night, his voice jolted her. Thinking he was deeply asleep, she glanced sideways to find him staring at her. “What's wrong?” Clyde reached out and stroked her hair. “What are you thinking about?”Should she tell him the truth?Should she lie to him?However, the idea of telling him what was really on her mind scared her.Not only because she feared the o
Too Late, Ex-husband 115. The Biggest Fool
Hesitating at the door, a part of his mind told him not to step inside.She might yell at him, lunge at him, hit him, or even do something worse.A few moments ago when she revealed that furious side of her, he'd almost thought she was a different girl, totally different from the docile and affectionate woman he knew.“Ash, I'm so sorry!” Yet, she surprised him by apologizing first.Standing from the couch, she rushed into his arms and hugged him tight, sobbing slightly. “I'm sorry for misunderstanding. I- I didn't know she was your friend… I- I thought… I thought she might snatch you from me!”She choked on her sobs, burying her face in his chest as if ashamed to face him. What did he do to deserve this?How would she react when she found out this was all a play?Asher’s heart tightened, a foreboding heaviness settling on his chest. He wanted to hug her back, but his hands hung mid-air.No!This is getting out of hand.Could he carry on?Shouldn't be tell her the truth right now?W
Too Late, Ex-husband 114. Deceived Her
“It's no wonder you ignored the phone calls,” She continued, the tears streaming down her face. “It's no wonder you want James to leave you alone.”What was she doing here?How did she even get here? Shocked, Asher didn't know how to react. As if caught red-handed committing a sin, he parted his lips, but no words came out. “Why are you doing this to me, Ash!?” She wiped her tears furiously. “You've never loved me, have you!?”She stomped forward and peeled Freya away from his arms. When she raised her hand to slap him, Asher finally reacted. “It's not what you're thinking.” He caught her hand mid-air. However, she gave him a look of disbelief full of uncertainty. She'd lost trust in him. He could see the hate in her eyes. Wasn't this what he'd been avoiding? Right now, she looked hurt and his heart beat uncomfortably. She sobbed, snatching her hand away. “Then can you explain it in a way I'll understand… In a way that won't only hurt me further?”Yeah. How was he gonna expl
Too Late, Ex-husband 113. Seeing Another Woman
…That Evening.Without a sense of direction, Asher drove down the city. He'd been driving for a long time and the sky was turning dark. Yet, he couldn't stop, the turmoil inside his heart increasing. Without any sense of direction, he could be anywhere else but that hotel. He couldn't go back there and share the same suite with her. He couldn't repeat the same mistake he made the night before. Till now, his mind wasn't at ease. For a long time, he'd preserved himself, vowing that he'd never touch a woman who wasn't his wife. He'd broken that vow, his biggest regret. Now he had to live with the guilt and the feelings of hate. The fact that he reminisced about that moment last night and still longed to touch her made him more disgusted with himself. His phone rang beside him. Asher let go of the steering wheel and picked it up. Seeing his assistant’s name on the screen, he hesitated. “What's up?”“Are you on your way back, Mr. Sydney?” James sounded worried. “I'm sure the bu
Too Late, Ex-husband 112. Cherish Their Love
Violet arrived at Grandpa Luke's quarters to find the servants gathered in a corner outside. They were so engrossed in gossiping that they didn't notice her. “The Old Master appears mad today. Who do you think might have offended him?”“Is it Mrs. Crawford again?”“No, I don't think so. I overheard him making a phone call about someone's death. He mentioned the Young Master’s name.”“Wait, is he mad at the Young Master?”“Who knows? He has suddenly appeared in the mansion. It definitely isn't for something small.”“Who died, by the way?”“I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that it's a member of this family.”Violet cleared her throat. All the servants looked in her direction, having noticed her presence.They all gasped at once and started stuttering. “Y- Young Miss, when did you arrive?”“We- We were busy discussing work. Sorry, we didn't notice you.”“It's not what you're thinking, Young Miss-” “Shut up, all of you!” The Butler arrived. “If you don't want to lose your jobs, sto
Too Late, Ex-husband 111. See To His Downfall
Violet shuddered from his grandfather's tone. Because she sat very close to him, her ears caught each of his grandfather's words. Turning around to see the man's expression, a strange tremor ran down her nerves. But Clyde's expression was as pale as hers should have been by now. He looked speechless, his eyes widening. “Uhm, Grandpa. I'll come-”For the first time, she saw him stammer. And the old man didn't let him finish his words before shouting,“Well, get down here and explain yourself! Because right now, this old man is having heart pains!”Then his grandfather hung up. Clyde sprang to his feet, almost making her fall in the process. And he looked disoriented as he hurried out of the study room. “Where's Daddy going? Was it Greatgrandpa who called?” Mimi asked, hugging the new school bag to her chest. “I miss Greatgrandpa, Mummy. Can I go with Daddy?”Violet shook her head. “No, Baby. I'm not sure where he's going. Ava will help you wash up. After you've rested, how about
Too Late, Ex-husband 110. Killed His Sister
…Clyde stared at the phone in his hand, his blood boiling inside. He watched the several missed calls but made no attempt to answer them. Hadn't he restricted that contact before?It appeared Violet had unblocked the guy. Why the hell was he calling his wife!?“Clyde, have you seen my phone?” Violet entered the study room and he quickly hid the phone in his pocket. Clyde shook his head. “Have you checked Mimi's room?”“I did. It's not there.” She sighed frustratedly. “I- I need to check on the Cops. I must find Freya.”She barely slept last night all due to worrying about her friend. Honestly, she didn't need to call the Cops.Clyde already had a feeling about who took her friend away. “Relax, we'll find her.”“That's what you've been telling me.” She gave him a tired look. “Clyde Crawford, at least use your influence and help me find my friend.”Clyde would have long used his influence if he'd wanted to.However, the situation was out of his hands. The only person who could e
Too Late, Ex-husband 109. Always Wait for Him
…At Twilight Hotel. The atmosphere was intense, the tension inside the room unmatched by any other. Maybe he was the only person feeling the tension. Asher couldn't believe it.He was definitely going to regret this forever. How was he gonna explain this to her when she came back to her senses… when she finally regained her memories and discovered the truth? “You're so quiet.” Her voice floated into his ears, her sighs of contentment echoing in the silent room.The serene atmosphere was nothing compared to the turmoil inside his heart. Her peaceful appearance and her relaxed muscles as she lay on his chest contrasted with his tense ones. “Honey…” She murmured. “Whoever that lady is, she's dangerous. Please you have to avenge me. What would have happened to me if you weren't there last night?”Asher didn't know the lady she was speaking about.Unfortunately, his assistant’s search turned out futile.The lady's back was facing the surveillance camera while she gave her the wine.
