All Chapters of The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection: Chapter 1011 - Chapter 1020

He needed an answer from her. Everything had been well-discussed before he left, and she had agreed to it. Why was she silent on the phone now?Caleb's expression grew cold, his eyes darkening with a brewing storm."Penny, if you don't speak up now, I'm going to get angry."Penny took a deep breath, trying to respond.However, her throat was in agony. It felt as if a large hand was tightly clenching it, making it hard for her to breathe. Tears streamed down more fiercely.Her body shook violently, and she instinctively crouched down. She covered her mouth with one hand, fearful of letting her cries be heard.She frantically grabbed a jacket nearby, desperate to leave this place. However, as she moved, her leg hit something.She could not feel the pain. It was as if all sensation in her body had been stripped away in an instant.The place made her feel nauseated.Caleb's voice still echoed from the phone."Are you planning to deny everything again?"His tone carried a hint of

After he left, Penny wanted to remove the needle from the back of her hand. She intended to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.Yet at that moment, Lucy came in with the soup she had stewed, her tone full of reproach."Ms. Sullivan, how could you knowingly neglect to eat for two days when you have a stomach condition? The doctor told me to remind you to take care of your body. You must not forget to eat three meals a day and should not neglect your health because of work!"Penny took the warm water Lucy handed her to rinse her mouth. She then looked at the food on the small table. Even so, she had lost her appetite."Ms. Sullivan, you must eat something. Otherwise, if your stomach condition worsens, you'll feel even more uncomfortable. You already look like you've lost several pounds."Penny, who had never experienced much familial affection, knew that Aunt Lucy had always treated her like a granddaughter.Hearing her fuss, Penny f

This was indeed something Caleb would do.Finn turned his head away and commented, "This is so hard to look at. Love is truly blind, and you'll eventually lose your true self."He had never been in a relationship. He believed women were just for physical release, not something to be treasured.His view was shared by Winston, although Winston was more gentlemanly in his liaisons, seeking mutual benefits.Finn did not feel the same. He despised women who had no skills other than being good in bed.Caleb ignored him. After a few minutes of thought, he finally replied to Penny: [Okay, then stay ‘drunk’. I’ll come to find you after I’m done with work.]Penny’s lips curled up when she saw the message. However, as she looked up and saw the marks in the reflection of the mirror, her smile slowly faded.The flirtatious phase was intoxicating.Caleb felt a sweetness he had never experienced before.He placed his phone aside, frequently glancing at it to see if she had sent any new messa

Caleb’s plane landed in Imperial City the next morning. He did not ask anyone to pick him up, nor did he leave the airport with Finn. Instead, he called Penny. “I’m at the airport now. Can you come pick me up?” Though he seemed to be asking if she could come pick him up, he spoke in a tone that was telling her to hurry up. However, Penny was not the one who had answered the phone. She was in a meeting and had left her phone with Winona. Winona felt anger bubbling within her when she heard his voice. What gave him the right to speak so matter-of-factly? Her voice turned cool and distant. “Ms. Sullivan is in a meeting that will last till the afternoon, Mr. Fergerson.” Caleb’s brows knitted themselves together. He felt slightly disappointed but did not say much else. He called Sebastian and asked him to pick him up. Right then, he received a call from Winston asking if he had heard the rumors. “What rumors?” “It’s about Penny. They’re saying she has a first love.”

She abruptly reached her arms out and wrapped them around her neck. “Caleb.” Caleb was still standing by the car then, and he felt his heart melting as she hugged him. “You’ve become much more clingy this time round, Penny.” That idiot. Penny did not say anything and merely released him. Caleb stood by the car and did not bother closing the passenger’s door. He held her face in his hands and gazed at her for a whole minute before bending forth to kiss her on the lips. “I’m just trying to trust you, Penpen.” Penny froze when she heard that. Then, he kissed her once more. “My entire being feels at ease when I hold you in my arms. I should trust you now that we’ve gotten together, right? I don’t want you getting into any more accidents.” He closed the door, a dark look settling in his eyes. “I don’t care if you met your first love or not, but you should have set boundaries since you had already admitted your feelings for me. I won’t hold what happened in the past
