All Chapters of My Dear Ex, Your Uncle Is Mine: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

∆IVORY∆"All men are the same, none truly understands or appreciates the efforts of women," I let out a frustrated sigh, staring blankly out of the cab window as the city lights are blurring as a sign of night, "It's my fault expecting him to be different from others." My earlier conversation with Alexander is still heavy on my mind. His words, his tone, everything about that discussion had left me with a strange mix of irritation and confusion."You're too emotional about this, Ivory.""Emotional?" I had scoffed, gripping my mobile tightly, "It's not like working day and night is enough, just after hearing about his condition, ran like a mad person straight to the hospital only to hear from him that I'm being emotional over nothing." "What did he even say?" I had laughed bitterly. "What am I to you Ivory? Why would you come for me? Can't he understand atleast after seeing me there worried for me? If I didn’t care about him, if he meant nothing to me, why would I rush to the hospit

∆ALEXANDER∆"Ivory," I frowned gripping my mobile tightly, "Why are you testing my patience like this?" I couldn’t understand why Ivory wasn’t answering my calls or messages. It had been nearly a week of silence, no messages, no calls, no explanation, nothing. My frustration was increasing with each passing day, Berlin informed me, it's Ivory who paid my hospital bill before leaving the hospital, I thought at least the day I got discharged, she'll come to see but she didn't.I couldn't help but to recall our previous conversation in my head, wondering where things had gone wrong. The reason why I spoke like that is different, how am I supposed to say that I'm jealous because of her meeting with Jacob? She didn't even mention about meeting him, out of frustration, I said something like that, in the end she disappeared like this, leaving me both hurt and infuriated.Then, out of nowhere, Berlin showed up in front of me, "Sir, Ms. Ivory is in France." France? I was totally surprised

∆IVORY∆"Arghh!" I groaned, clutching my head as a sharp pain passed through my skull. "Why is it so painful?"Who the hell smashed a brick on my head last night? Maybe I should quit drinking, it's something suitable for me unlike that heavy drunkard Pearl!Just then, my phone rang, that loud tone made me more annoyed, without even opening my eyes to check the caller ID, I blindly grabbed it and pressed it to my ear. "Hello... who is it?" "Did you wake up? Are you okay?" Pearl's voice came from the other side, "Nothing happened to you right?" I sighed at her annoying questions early in the morning while I'm dying with pain in my head. "Why are you calling me from the same room? Are you crazy?"A pause.While I was thinking the call was hung and about to throw the mobile aside, but urgency in her voice made me to stop doing that, "Because we aren't in the same room, dumbass, wake up and look at your surroundings, you're with Alexander Kingston." My breath hitched.My headache? Gone.

∆IVORY∆"Unbelievable? If I’m not like this, how can I handle that hammerhead nephew of yours?" I huffed, crossing my arms, being proud of myself.Patting my head like I was some puppy, Alexander chuckled. "That’s great, I’m so proud of you, but don’t hide things from me again, I'm worried about you." "I shouldn’t hide, but you do," I muttered under my breath slightly glancing at him, narrowing his eyes, he asked, "What did I even hide from you?" I bit my lip, feeling dramatic, "About your boyfriend," I thought to myself but didn’t dare to say it aloud since it's his personal matter. Instead, I blinked my eyes at him suspiciously.He, however, had the audacity to pull my cheeks like I was a five-year-old. "Since you want to take responsibility for me, get ready, I'll be taking you to a place." Is he taking me on a picnic or something? Why is he acting like father coaxing his child? What does he even think of me? A kindergarten student?"A place?" I raised an eyebrow.He nodded, lo

∆NO POV∆"Is he going to stay silent throughout the ride?" Ivory thought to herself while stealing glances in between awkward silence.Alexander sighed inwardly, "Only if she knew what she meant to me, things might be different in between us." The drive back to the hotel was quieter than usual, the tension lingering between Alexander and Ivory like an unspoken agreement of mutual understanding."A billion-dollar worth contract deal," Alexander said casually, as if he was discussing the weather, "I already discussed everything with them. They’re so eager to meet you, but since you went missing, I had to delay it." He shot a serious glance at her, "While I was worried about you and your deal, you were out here enjoying yourself with your friend and male strippers." Ivory immediately lowered her head, out of guilt, and mumbled in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kingston."Alexander couldn't stay angry with her anymore, and he raised his hand gently to pat on her head, as she looked like
