Ava looked up instinctively.

For a brief second, her mind went blank so blank that she didn’t know what expression to put on her face, or what words would be appropriate in this situation.

Before she could react, Ethan strode over with a sullen expression and pulled the car door open for her.

The action was stiff. Mechanical. Completely lacking warmth.

Nancy noticed Ava standing there in a daze and chuckled softly before giving her a gentle push on the back.

“Silly child, why are you spacing out? Go on get into the car already.”

Ava let out a quiet sigh.

She turned back to Nancy and forced a soft smile. “Grandma, it’s getting late. You should go back inside. We’ll head home now.”

If Nany went back in, Ava could simply walk away, hail a taxi, and end this farce.

I really need to buy a car soon, she thought.

Standing there, Ethan remained petulant and silent, his expression dark enough to make the air heavy.

Nancy narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she could sense A

    “Of course not.” Sebastian chortled softly. He tapped the brake and smoothly slid into the right lane. As the car slowed, he glanced once more in the direction Ethan’s car had disappeared, then turned right at the intersection without hesitation. Ava had no intention of continuing the conversation. Sebastian, however, carried it effortlessly, speaking about trivial things—traffic, the city at night, the weather as if nothing of significance had happened. She listened politely but kept her responses brief. When they finally reached her manor Ava turned toward him. “Thank you, Mr. King, for sending me home,” she said calmly. Sebastian smiled warmly, as if he had expected nothing else. “Don’t mention it. It’s late—head on in. Give me a ring if you ever need anything.” Ava nodded and stepped out of the car. Sebastian didn’t drive away immediately. He narrowed his eyes slightly, watching her retreating figure as she walked toward the entrance, posture straight, steps steady. An enig

    Emily pretended not to notice Ava and Sebastian standing nearby. She wrapped her arms around Ethan's shoulders, her fingers curling lightly against the fabric of his coat. Her voice softened as she spoke, deliberately lowering it, lacing it with helplessness. “Ethan,” she said gently, a small laugh slipping from her lips, “it was just a little trip. I’m fine. I can walk on my own if you put me down.” She even giggled, as if the situation were almost embarrassing rather than serious. Ethan didn’t slow his steps. “Let’s get you checked first,” he replied calmly. There was no hesitation. No argument. He carried her toward the exit without sparing a single glance in Ava and Sebastian direction, even though they were only a few feet away. Ava watched silently. As expected, she thought. Emily is still the most important person to him. Fate had an odd sense of irony. No matter how much Ava tried to avoid these moments, she always seemed to be present when Ethan chose Emily again a

    Elsewhere, Ethan returned to his room in a state of agitation he couldn’t quite name. He pulled a cigarette from the pack and lit it, then another, then another. Chain-smoking. Previously, out of respect for Emily, he had always made a point of never smoking around her. Tonight? It was the furthest thing from his mind. Emily sat stiffly on the couch, watching him with growing unease. She considered herself a calm person—emotionally steady, patient. But right now, her heart was in chaos. She could feel it clearly. Ethan was concerned about Ava.. That realization alone was enough to make her chest tighten painfully. Emily took a deep breath, but it went down the wrong way. She choked slightly and began to cough. Ethan glanced at her instinctively. Without saying a word, he walked over and snuffed out the cigarette. Emily panicked. “I—I’m fine, Ethan,” she said quickly. “I just choked a little. It wasn’t because of your smoking. Go ahead, don’t mind me.” T

    As Ava walked down the corridor, her steps unhurried, she caught movement out of the corner of her eye. A figure darted past. Even though it disappeared quickly, Ava recognized it immediately from the color of the dress alone. Emily.. A faint smirk curved Ava’s lips. She continued on as if nothing had happened and returned to her private lounge. Inside, Sebastian looked up from his seat the moment she entered. He studied her expression—calm, unruffled, almost relaxed and smiled. “What took you so long?” he asked casually. Ava pulled out a chair and sat down gracefully. “I saw a fly,” she replied lightly, “and spent some time trying to get rid of it.” At that exact moment, Ethan passed by the doorway outside. He heard her words. His expression darkened further. Sebastian raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “Ethan came looking for you, huh?” Ava didn’t answer. She didn’t need to. Her silence said everything. Sebastian leaned back slightly, studying her

  • Get Lost Ex-husband    Chapter 16: Lines Drawn

    Ava pursed her lips. Was this all inevitable? She had originally intended to ask Ethan calmly, directly when they would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to finalize the divorce. He had been the one to push for it. The one eager to sever ties. Yet now, for some reason she couldn’t understand, he insisted she come in person, insisted on dragging things out as if time itself could change the outcome. She didn’t want to stay here any longer. Turning away from him, Ava headed toward her room, her steps light but determined. She had barely taken two steps— Shove! The world spun. Before she could react, a strong force yanked her backward. Her back collided with something hard, and the next thing she heard was— Slam! The door shut violently. Ava’s heart jumped as Ethan pulled her into an empty room, the echo of the closing door reverberating in the confined space. His hands shot out and clamped around her wrists, pinning them above her waist. Ava sucked in a breath.

  • Get Lost Ex-husband    Chapter 15: Thin Ice

    In Ethan and Emily private lounge just down the corridor, the atmosphere was anything but relaxed. The waiter had finished serving the dishes and left. Silence followed. A suffocating, icy silence. Emily sat upright, her posture graceful but tense. The air felt so cold she almost felt frozen in place. Across from her, Ethan sat rigidly, his expression dark, his eyes distant. He hadn’t even touched his cutlery. Emily's fingers tightened. Did Ava do this on purpose? she wondered bitterly. Did she know Ethan and I would be here tonight and deliberately bring Sebastian just to provoke him? She had spent so much effort persuading Ethan to bring her out for dinner. Countless gentle words, subtle hints, emotional appeals. And now? It felt like everything had been rendered meaningless. I never knew Ava could be this devious, Emily thought grimly. She took a breath and adjusted her emotions quickly. Her voice softened as she spoke. “Ethan,” she said gently, “don’t be
