All Chapters of My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Elianna was slightly surprised to find out that her usually composed elder brother had resorted to physical violence.Leonard remained unmoved and instead took a few steps back.Tristian grabbed Spencer by the collar and dragged him across the marble floor. "The Vale family raised a scum like you, Spencer!"Elianna said sharply, "Leonard, take Spencer away before my brother cripples him."Before Leonard could respond, a resounding bang echoed through the hall. Tristian grabbed Spencer's hair, forcing his knee into Spencer's abdomen.Spencer cried out in pain, begging repeatedly, "I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong..."Tristian angrily exclaimed, "Shut up!"The man threw a punch, and Spencer's front teeth were shattered as he fell to the ground.Leonard squatted down with a disgusted expression, holding his head and forcefully knocking it on the ground: "Apologize properly to Ms. Carrington."Spencer stammered, "Ms. Carrington, I... I shouldn't have had such dirty thoughts about you

Joseph said, "Ms. Carrington, you should already know why I came to see you."Elianna said, "Mr. Kensington, as I said before, if you want my help, you'll have to kneel."Joseph's expression tightened. "Ms. Carrington, I can agree to any condition—except that one."Elianna sneered and was about to make a sarcastic remark when suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Her heart skipped a beat and she instinctively placed her hand on her lower abdomen.Oh no.Mentally calculating the dates, she realized today was the day her period was due.Her cycle was always regular, rarely off by even a day.She had planned to prepare in advance that morning, but her busy schedule had distracted her. Now, it was too late.A blush crept up her cheeks, both from embarrassment and the physical discomfort settling in.Outside the meeting roomEmployees bustled through the hallways.It is working hours, and as looking down the corridor, all employees are moving around busily.Elianna shifted slight

Joseph felt as though someone had poured scalding oil over him. His fists clenched, but he forced down the rising tide of anger. Without a word, he spun on his heel and left the room.Fifteen minutes laterHe bought the ingredients and came back. Elianna, now in fresh clothes, had also arranged for the sofa to be cleaned. Spotting the ingredients in his hand, she slapped her forehead dramatically. "Did you buy some hot packs?"Joseph's chest rose and fell slightly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "You only asked for ginger tea. You didn't say anything about hot packs."Elianna: "I thought you would have made the connection. Don't women with menstrual cramps always use heat pack?"Memories of how attentively he had cared for Livia during her bouts of discomfort surged forward. He had done this all before—so why did it feel so exasperating now?Joseph felt extremely annoyed when he was first told what to do and how to do it. "Anything else I should fetch

Elianna had a fleeting, almost insane thought.She imagined herself making this man fall in love with her, becoming utterly captivated by her—subservient, enchanted, and obsessed with her to the point of no return. And then, she would make him experience the sting of betrayal that love so often brings.But it was just a passing fancy,one that she quickly dismissed with a chuckle.Why waste time on a man she despised so deeply? Why indulge in such shallow desires?But...She had reached a verbal agreement with Joseph and she did not want to go back on her word.Elianna looked at Tristian. "Tristian, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I'm not the same Myla I was five years ago."Tristian, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows and said, "Elianna, I'm afraid you'll only get hurt again. He's done so much to you already, even nearly taking your life. I won't let him near you again. If I ever see him, I swear I'll crush him into dust."Elianna had been pampered and protected by the Carring

Elianna’s knitting slowed, her fingers stiffening momentarily.She lifted her gaze and met Joseph's scrutinizing look.She squinted her eyes slightly and asked, "So?"Joseph said, "If I recall correctly, you brought back a child with an unfortunate background during your year-long disappearance. Rumor has it you were pregnant by an unknown man. By my calculations, that child should be five years old now."Elianna's facial muscles twitched slightly, "I didn’t realize Mr. Kensington was so interested in my personal affairs."Joseph said, "Who’s the father? Do you even know?"Elianna said, "A scoundrel."Joseph sneered, "The Carrington family hides that child well—so well, in fact, no one’s ever seen them. Who knows what disgraceful secrets you’re concealing?"Elianna's face turned pale, and the movement of her knitting needles became slightly stiff.Livia couldn't help but feel nervous for a moment. "Ms. Carrington...!"Livia began, but her words were cut off by a sharp gasp as a pierci
