He should’ve just sent an email. Or a text. Even a formal invite would’ve been better than driving all the way down here just to talk about the dinner.

But trust Nolan to always be stubborn, despite how loudly his head had screamed at him as he hopped into his car.

Now he was sitting in front of her, sounding like a little kid inviting his crush for a sleepover.

But in reality, his heart clawed at his chest. Because sitting before Jules and getting a closer look at her, what he feared most:

It was a different person in that damn picture.

Fuck!

“I'm not bringing Asher to some chaotic dinner at your house.” She stated firmly, her voice sharp.

“Oh, come on, it's not going to be chaotic. Just me, Evie, my aunt, and a few of Evie's friends who wish to come.”

Jules paused again and shot him a stare. “Out of all the people you just mentioned, which of them actually likes me?”

Nolan opened his mouth to speak, but figured it might make things worse if he mentioned himself, so he just shut it

  • Crossed: Chasing Back the Unwanted Wife   Chapter 81

    “What is it George? You don't get to call me at whatever time you wish. I thought I made that clear." Ethan said into the phone, standing by a window beside the door.There was a slight frown on his face as he listened to George apologize and say whatever crap he had to say.“I thought I told you to let it be for now. It's not needed yet. When I need you to pick the case back up you will." Ethan instructed. “Let Jules win for now, I'm clear?" “You seem pissed." Maggie said, appearing from behind, arms folded, a smirk on her lips as her eyes roamed his back view.Ethan almost rolled his eyes. “Goodbye George." He hung up and turned around, the most genuine smile spread across his face. “Maggie! What's up?" "Oh, nothing.” She took a step forward, her smile remaining. "Just remembered you never honoured my invitation.”Ethan just watched her and smiled.He'd always known Maggie had her eyes on him. He just didn't know she was this desperate and shameless about it.“I didn't get a house

    There were a total of nine people at the table—Jules and Ethan, Nolan and Evie, Kai, the two gossiping girls, and a middle-aged female who looked like Maggie's age mate.Maggie's friend, maybe.All the other guests were strangers to Jules—and probably to themselves. But what Jules knew for sure was they knew her, because they all had TVs in their houses.Nolan's announcement had brought a frown on all their faces, but none of them were as irritated and annoyed as the two girls, and of course Evie.“Nolan, you know I always use my phone." She argued calmly, still frowning.Nolan's voice was still calm. “Yes, I know. But please just for a few hours, Evie. You can live through that." Evie stared at him for a while, her lips twisted grudgingly as she looked at Nolan's palm, which he had stretched out.Then finally, after what seemed like a long time, she handed it over, and everyone took a breath.Evie's smile returned brighter than before, and she tucked her hair behind her ear, straigh

    The call pulled to a halt just in front of the large building, and Jules couldn't deny she was impressed.The compound had enough space to host a party, and it carried a quiet, beautiful serenity.Ethan got out of his side of the backseat and circled to her side, opening the door for her.A gush of wind blew her way as she stepped out, declining Ethan’s hand and pulling her coat tighter around her body.“I really don't want to tell you, Jules. Please don't make me." She remembered his words last night when she'd asked him what Nolan had done to him.So once again, she’d slept on the same bed with someone she knew nothing about—someone she just discovered had a criminal tag to his name.She just walked towards the entrance of the building, leaving him with the guard who handled the gifts she'd hurriedly picked out on their way, to wish them conjugal bliss and a safe delivery.She wasn't mad at Ethan though, she was just disappointed. But why wasn't she angry??Gently, she pushed the d

    Surprisingly, Ethan hadn't gone on one of his usual trips in days. He’d leave for work in the morning, and before nine, he’d be back. Then he’d spend time with her and Asher.But that did nothing to her indecision.She still wasn’t sure if she wanted a child with him. And the longer it sat on her mind, the more she started to wonder why he had never brought it up, either.Didn't he want to have a child of his own? Or was he waiting for her to say it first so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable?Either way, the entire idea was starting to feel like a burden, but at the same time a good idea—it sounded like a chance to completely move on from the “Nolan phase” since he was already getting serious with his life.‘See what mom was saying?’ a voice in her head whispered. ‘You’re only thinking about this because you want to forget about Nolan. Not because you actually want it.’She sighed and took another bite of her steak.“You okay?” Ethan asked from across the table.Jules paused, and stare

    “Are you sure about this, Juliette?” her mom's voice came through her phone's speaker, soft and frail.“Not really,” Jules sighed, her head bent over some documents. “But I’ve thought about it. And I think it’s time.”Her mom sighed on the other end, too. “Thinking between last night and today is not enough, Jules. As wonderful as it sounds, having another child with another man could be a bad decision.”Jules dropped her pen on the desk, her voice growing firm. “Ethan is not ‘another man,’ Mom. He’s my husband.”"The same man whom you told me has been acting strange for some time now?” Her mom asked. "Or is it the same man whom you told me had killed someone?” "Jules, are you listening to me?” Her mom's voice was filled with nothing but worry.“I’m listening,” Jules muttered, picking the pen back up.“I know this is your life, and I respect that. But I don’t want you making a mistake.”Jules was silent.Yesterday when Ethan was done…drilling her, and making most of her doubts about
