THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST Chapter 148 - Company
Clara's Pov The closer I got to the kitchen, the more the sounds from there got louder. Just like I expected. He was in the kitchen. A smile spread across my face subconsciously as I heard the soft chopping, it was steady and rhythmic, like he'd been doing this for a long time and was used to it. I leaned lightly against the doorframe before stepping in fully. He stood at the counter, focused, slicing through vegetables with ease like he’d done it a thousand times. Maybe more. He looked up briefly and smiled the moment he noticed me. “Ah, madam, ” he greeted warmly, his voice calm like always. “You are awake already? You need something?” I shook my head, stepping further into the kitchen. “I couldn't sleep again and I don't really need anything but I could use some company." I took a close glance at what he was doing. "And you’re already working again.” He chuckled softly, not stopping what he was doing. “Food does not wait.” I glanced at the counter, taking in every

Clara's Pov For a second, I almost believed him when he said he was looking out for me. I almost did when he said he was the reason why the board called that morning. I wanted to really believe that he would support me genuinely without asking for anything in return but when I remembered what he said about taking the trip because of me, everything changed. The belief I was starting to nurse vanished almost immediately. I had my bath after dressing Leo up for the day. He was out of the room before I could finish my bath. I knew where he was so I didn't panic like the first time I didn't meet him in the room. I kept it simple with my dressing since we were in the house. It was chill outside but not too chill. So I wore a pair of pants and a top that wasn't too thick or light. Something to shield me from the cold and still let my skin breathe. After applying my body lotion, I picked my phone and sent a calm across to Cassie. She was another person I hadn't called since we arr
THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST Chapter 146 - Separate lanes in one house
Adrian's pov I went to my room and Leo followed me immediately, but before we could settle down, Clara walked in. "Come on hun, you need to take your bath." She beckoned to Leo to follow her out. "That's true." I supported even though the tension between Clara and me had been thick all morning. The last thing I wanted was to let him notice any form of malice between us. I didn't want him to feel unsafe staying with the both of us so I tried to act as cheerful and free as I could. Also welcoming. He turned around and took a few steps towards Clara but he barely got to where she stood when my laptop rang out loud enough to make everyone in the room pause. I went to check on the device. I wasn't expecting any call from anyone except my secretary, Clem who would only call when she really needed me to be there. Otherwise, she has everything under control. I'd also spoken to the old man the previous night after my arrival and through him I learnt that every other person in the
THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST Chapter 145 - Burst of flavors
Clara's Pov "What the actual f**k?" It took all the composure I could summon not to scream through the roof. I wouldn't have thought too much about the whole thing, in fact, I loved the apartment, I liked Mr. Han. He was a handful. I loved my handsome neighbor. I had no problem with the place. I wouldn't have had any problem if I was paired with someone else as a house mate. I just didn't understand why it had to be Adrian of all people that came on the trip. What happened to the other ladies? I dragged a palm down my face and stopped it at my mouth, screaming into my palms so it sounded muffled. Just then, a light knock sounded on the door and it was pushed open before I could ask who it was. Little Leo stood by the door. "Food is ready mummy." He informed me and I nodded, taking my hands off my mouth so he could see the smile on my face. "Have you brushed your teeth yet?" I asked and he shook his head. "Okay honey, come with me. I haven't brushed mine either but we
THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST Chapter 144 - Cause for revaluation
Clara's Pov I was screaming to myself in my mind but my body had a different idea all along doing the things it wanted to do even when the warning signs were there. But he didn't look like those men who took advantage of a lady where I was from. This man literally bowed in respect. That's something I haven't gotten before from any man except Mr. Han so far. And he was a breath of fresh air. He could speak the language so fluently and he could also interact in English so fluently. That means, no language barriers. This has got to be my next best friend in Korea. He left shortly after telling me that this was his popular jogging spot and he hoped to see me next time. Of course, I told him he would definitely see me around. By the time he left, I'd totally forgotten the reason why I came out to jog in the first place. Shockingly, I felt a bit sad after he left as the smile he'd left wiped off my face, the warmth he brought to my heart left with it. Strange. One good thing though

Clara's Pov The temperature difference from the warmth in the house with the cold outside hit me and made me pause for a few seconds but after my body settled with the temperature, it didn't feel too cold anymore. I stepped off the porch and when I was far enough, I turned around and took a good look at the apartment. It was a long building with 'apartments' in them. Typical but not so typical. They built it in a way that it could house a lot of people while still managing space. Fascinating. So that meant that we weren't the only ones staying at the apartment. Other people were and I'm guessing other foreign people who were not part of us were also renting the place. Maybe the place was filled already, but I still wasn't convinced that in the whole of Korea, they couldn't find another apartment for us. It was just too impractical to believe. It had a see-through gate that wasn't as tall as a normal gate. Its bars were thin and spaced. The kind that you could just slide open and

Clara's Pov "Is he going to get better?" He asked again. I gave a slight shrug. "With close attention, he will." Adrian nodded sharply and gestured to the food he'd brought me. "You should eat that before it gets cold."I glanced at the food on the table, thoughts stirring within me. Thoughts t

Clara's povI found it strange that the old man had some issue bothering him but hadn't called me or told me about it. When Adrian called, I'd thought he wanted to make some trouble as usual but I was grateful I picked up after the call. It was already late by the time I got to the house so I did

ClaraHe leaned closer until I felt his breath on my face. It still had alcohol in it and ash. "You don't know anything about me." I was certain he wanted to say more than that but he held back, slid his hands into his pockets and drew a long breath. "Besides, I never got the chance to meet you,

Adrian povI drove to the old man's house wondering why he had called to see me at night. Elena insisted she was coming along with me and I couldn't say no. Different thoughts filled my mind as I drove to his house. Could he be dying? Perhaps he wanted to let me in on some hidden wealth of his? I
