Leaving You Bereft Chapter 397
It was the middle of the night, and Dexter was completely wasted in a nightclub. The manager was very happy that he sold 800 thousand dollars worth of red wine, but he was also upset. Dexter was in a foul mood, and he had the look that he could make a mess of this establishment the moment anything went wrong.Flat out of options, he had to send the most nimble-minded lady at his disposal to soothe Dexter. Then, he had a light-bulb moment. Catalina used to be very close to Dexter. Later, a young lady with a slender, delicate figure sat next to Dexter. His head was thrown back as he leaned on the back of the couch, his dashing face a shade of light red, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably. He embodied raw, masculine allure. Catalina blushed when she saw him, but she didn't dare to let herself fall for him for real. Her voice was tender and warm as she spoke. "Let me drink with you. Just tell me what ails you, and I will console you."Dexter opened his eyes just a crack

Jessica opened the office door and came in, only to find the mess on the floor. The documents were scattered everywhere, and what remained of his smartphone lay quietly amidst the chaos, its broken pieces a heartbreaking sight to behold.Dexter couldn't stop himself from breathing heavily. His expression spoke of despondency, and his body was as stiff as a nocked arrow, threatening to burst forth at any moment. Jessica hesitated a little before she walked over and gently placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to soothe him. Her fingers had barely touched him when he swatted them away mercilessly.She was immediately stunned, but Dexter showed no signs of comforting her. Instead, he stormed out of his office. It took Jessica a while to come to her senses, and when she did, she stumbled after him, calling out to him, "Dexter, where are you going?"He turned a deaf ear to her question, stomped into the elevator, and closed the doors as she watched. Jessica slammed the elevator doo

Michael swung by Eleanor's place to pick her up early in the morning, and he brought his son and daughter, Sawyer and Tina Hall, with him. Sawyer was the older brother, mature and calm. Tina was the younger sister, sweet and adorable. She resembled her biological mother a lot.Michael left them at the Sutton residence and let Layla look after them, hoping that they would bond with Maisie. Later, he and Eleanor went downstairs and stepped into the car.They were just going through the motions, but Eleanor applied a light makeup for today's marriage certification procedure. She needed to conceal her haggardness.Michael turned sideways and looked at her. "From what I heard, the marriage bureau provides a veil for the wedding picture. It'll go well with your black turtleneck sweater."She grinned faintly. "Wonderful."He ran his finger through her hair tenderly, his voice gentle. "Eleanor, I hope you'll be happier about this. I'm still alive and well now. Before I move on to a bett

Michael gave Eleanor a ride back home, both of them quiet throughout the whole drive. Eventually, his car ground to a halt outside her apartment. Turning his head sideways, he looked at her and saw that her eyes were slightly red. She had cried for a long time by the lake, and she shed her tears for him. Michael spoke ever so softly and tenderly. "I know you're feeling down, but you have to grab a bite when you're home. The baby needs its nutrition."He brushed her tummy gently as he spoke, as if the baby in there was his own. Eleanor hummed softly in response. Looking at Michael, she struggled to get her words out. His voice deepened further. "We have agreed on the marriage, and there's no changing your mind!"Eleanor, I know we're just using each other to meet each other's needs, but I won't make you feel sorry for yourself. When I move on to a better place, you will…"She couldn't let him finish his sentence. Cutting him off abruptly, she cried out, "I won't change my min

In the dark, still night, neon lights in the city started coming to life. Eleanor sat on the bench at Brindle Lake Park, looking like a lost soul as she stared into the shimmering stars reflected on the water. Her wishful thinking still haunted her, embarrassing her. "Let me think about our future.""Dexter, I've made up my mind. Let's…"…Eleanor chuckled all of a sudden. That was it. It was nothing more than wishful thinking, and yet she thought it would come true.There was no reason Dexter would abandon a young, beautiful lady and welcome his ex-wife back into his arms. What transpired that night was nothing more than a fleeting pleasure for him. His words could've been as genuine as they were insincere. After all, it was just pillow talk, and yet she was the fool who believed him. Lowering her head, she carefully caressed her flat tummy, her heart torn between what was right and what she wanted. Eleanor had been pregnant for a little over a month, and her baby was st

The two locked eyes, one inside and the other outside, the tension between them thick. In an attempt to defuse the situation, Bernice said, "Ms. Sutton, please have a seat."Eleanor thanked her, walked inside, and sat on the couch. Dexter had also regained his senses and walked over to sit across from her, his gaze never leaving Bernice as she prepared two cups of coffee. Eleanor said gently, "I don't drink coffee. A glass of warm water will do."Bernice nodded and prepared another glass of water. Then, Eleanor and Dexter were left alone in the spacious office. Fiddling with the cup handle, she said in a serene tone, "When we were at the hotel suite, you asked me to give a long, hard thought about it. "After over a month of consideration, I think I'm ready to give you an answer. Dexter, let's…" Before she could finish her sentence, the door to the lounge opened, and out came Jessica. Jessica wore a cashmere dress, a pair of see-through stockings, and a pair of indoor slippe

Dexter stayed in Eboris for quite some time. A month later, even with New Year's approaching, there was still no sign of him returning.Eleanor hesitated for days before she finally dialed his number, but the call didn't go through. Instead, she happened to run into Dexter's secretary, Bernice, at a social function. Bernice mentioned that Dexter wouldn't be back until mid-January.Another half month to go…Eleanor was embarrassed to ask too many details, so after some small talk, she said goodbye to Bernice.The hallway in the clubhouse was bathed in dazzling lights. Bernice stood behind her, watching Eleanor's retreating figure. With a soft sigh, she turned away.Eleanor returned to the private lounge, where the atmosphere was lively. Michael was helping her entertain the two investors. He'd taken on all the drinks that evening.When Michael liked someone, he couldn't hide it. After seeing the guests off, he leaned back in his chair lazily. His breath reeked of alcohol."I dran

At night, Maisie had fallen asleep. After a shower, Eleanor wrapped herself in a bathrobe and sat out on the balcony, quietly gazing at the bright moon hanging in the sky, lost in thought.After a long time, she lowered her head and opened WhatsApp, tapping into the chat with Dexter. The last time they talked was about Maisie, over two weeks ago.He had gone to Eboris, and if it weren't for Maisie, she wouldn't even have known. But before he left, he asked her to think about their future seriously.Eleanor was torn, but she knew that if she hadn't felt anything at all, she wouldn't be thinking about this in the middle of the night, tempted to reach out to him.Her slender fingers hovered above the screen, but in the end, she didn't send him a message. She told herself to wait a little longer. Perhaps Dexter would be back in a few days.Gradually, the neon lights faded, and the city drifted into sleep.Early in the morning, the winter sun streamed into the bedroom, casting a warm

Eleanor was once again blocked outside the office. It was Russell again.Shell rolled down the window. Russell was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. He looked haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious he hadn't slept all night.She asked calmly, "What else is there to talk about?"They'd dated for nearly half a year, and there weren't any financial disputes or expensive gifts to return. As far as Eleanor was concerned, they'd drawn the line clearly.At first, Russell hadn't held out much hope. He just wanted to see her one last time, but he hadn't expected to see what he saw. Her blouse was buttoned up neatly, but he could still see the faint hickeys on her fair neck.Inside the car, a subtle, masculine scent lingered. Eleanor had spent the night with someone.Russell couldn't take it. Eyes reddened, he asked angrily, "Who were you with? Was it Michael or Dexter? You've always refused to sleep with me. Was it because you had someone else in your heart?"Ele
