All Chapters of After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

(Lydia)It felt like the vein in my head would burst from the amount of commotion Clara had caused. The leader of our management team had come over, and more air hosts and hostesses were trying to calm down Clara by bringing her water and asking her to just take a seat so they could see what could be done next.Nathan had somehow been pushed behind all the commotion. By the look on his face, that’s what he’d prefer anyway.This mess would have been avoided if Clara wasn’t present at all. There was something off about the entire situation anyway. Was Clara here as some kind of a replacement for the role I was supposed to play?I was done with all this bother so I stood up from my seat, glad that I only had my purse with me, and loudly announced, “Excuse me, everyone, I can just change seats with Miss Clara, if that’s okay.”Silence resounded in the small space and then the initial air hostess nodded in my direction, “Follow me, ma’am, I’ll take you to your seat.”I picked up my purse a

(Thomas)I park the car in front of the kids’ preschool and wait for the tell-tale bell to ring, after which the entire area at the front will be filled with kids laughing, screaming, and running.I leaned against my car door and decided to ignore the stares I knew I was getting. Most of the local people know who I am, and if they don’t then they think I look vaguely familiar to a celebrity.Either way, I am used to getting stared at wherever I go. It has been like that since I was very young and my father used to take me to work functions and engagement parties. People used to come up to me and praise me just because they wanted to get into my father’s good graces.I know it worked mostly.The experience has left a lasting impact though, because now whenever anyone tries to compliment me, it makes me feel like they want something from me.Perhaps that’s why Lydia was the one I fell for. She never tries to suck up to me or be nice to me just to get into my good graces. Thinking about

(Ruby)After I had some time to cool off, I realized that I may have overreacted a bit.I don’t know what came over me but in that moment, after having somewhat of a spat with Jack, I felt like I needed some space.It's evening now and I know Jack called multiple times, but if he really wanted me to talk to him then he could have come here, to my home.There was no sign of him though. I tried not to let this thought consume me as I went about my work while waiting for Lydia to call.Now that I knew that she had been the one to push Jack to tell me the truth, I felt infinitely more grateful to her. Sometimes, all you needed in life to protect you was your older sister.I don’t know how long Jack would have kept it from me if Lydia didn’t give him an ultimatum, or didn’t talk to him knowing I could be watching it all play out and grow suspicious.I didn’t know how to bring up this subject before she left so I just kind of hugged it out with her. Now that I have gone and fought with Jack

I woke up the next morning with a clearer head than I had gone to sleep with. Talking with the kids always made me feel happier and that was exactly what I had done after talking to Ruby the night before.Thinking of Ruby made me sad about the state of her love life. I don’t think Jack and Ruby have ever fought like this before so this was definitely a first for both of them. When I first found out about their dating, I knew Margaret would have some thoughts about their relationship but I never imagined her to do something like this.She had been opposing Thomas and me as well and what happened to our marriage and relationship must have given her some kind of vindication.Not to mention, not too long ago, she was partial to Sarah as well and only backed away when she found out that her family had been behind her almost losing her son.I went through my morning routine and focused on my schedule ahead for the time being. There was a photoshoot at noon which was expected to go on until

(Lydia)I got ready for the photoshoot with a heavy heart. I knew Nathan would be there. I wasn't too keen about spending time with him after what I had just learned.Still, it was my job to be at the venue in time so I got myself ready and met with Josh at the front of the hotel where a car was waiting for us.“So, you’ll be in the makeup chair for almost an hour before the photoshoot begins and we’ll go through four outfits. The base looks will be the same but in between the fit change we’ll need to do some makeup touches, just the eyeshades and lips I think,” Josh prattled on as he scrolled through his phone, then he let out a little scoff, “It’s already started.”He showed me the screen of his phone where a gossip page was open and a celebrity blind was shared. It said that an actor and his model ex-girlfriend got back together, making the actor's co-star jealous. Josh scrolled through the comments and I could see many people sharing Nathan’s and Clara’s names, however, in some of
