Semua Bab Divorced：My Ex-Husband Is Addicted To Me: Bab 31 - Bab 40

“Yes, I did. I will pick it up later.” Kristel replied in a low voice.Galvin darkened his face when he sensed Kristel’s dismissal tone. She sounded uninterested in furthering their conversation; thus, he threw his cutlery on the plate and got up sulkily.Kristel ignored Galvin’s coldness, and she continued eating quietly. She thought Galvin had already left, but he walked up to her and said,“I’ll pick you up in the store. I have an urgent meeting at the company.”“Okay.”She didn’t look up to meet his gaze; thus, his already foul mood had become graver, and his soreness was vented to the poor employees of Hudson Enterprises.Cory was at wit’s end whenever the boss bellowed when someone entered his office to submit a proposal. He felt sorry for everyone, including himself. He reflected,‘This has happened rarely in the past. But recently, the company has become the devil’s lair! The boss suddenly seemed like an awakened demon!’The morning went by quickly.Kristel waited at the store

Kristel was standing near the giant tower flower decorations in the back, and she would have to pass Mitch to leave since he was blocking her way out.“Excuse me.” She excuses herself and walks past the person to avoid unnecessary incidents.Mitch, however, spun around and caused their bodies to collide.Accident ensued. Mitch’s wine poured into Kristel’s dress. The deep red hue of the spilled wine instantaneously marred the pristine white fabric of her gown.“Oh, my god! I’m sorry, Miss... Let me help you clean your dress.”“There’s no need.” Kristel rejected her offer immediately and was ready to leave the scene. But Michelle holds her elbow, stopping her.“No! I will feel bad if I don’t take responsibility for staining your dress. My name is Michelle, by the way. I’m Galvin’s cousin, so I know the rooms in this mansion. I’ll accompany you to the washroom.”Kristel has spent considerable time exploring this mansion alongside Gloria, so she’s pretty familiar with it, too. She wanted

Kristel was somewhat surprised. She didn’t expect Galvin to stay. Also, there is a set of clean pajamas in his hand. Hence, she thought Galvin had left to coax Fiona after what had happened in the ballroom hall.With Fiona’s temperament, Kristel could picture her face seething with anger after receiving criticism at the party. The former has been behaving like the legal missus, and the disclosure of her identity tonight greatly impacted the former’s pride. It was like she was slapped on both sides of her face.“You’re still here?” Kristel isn’t sure if she must ask Galvin this question. The latter instantly frowned.“Where should I be?”Kristel didn’t retort. She doesn’t want to engage in another childish argument with Galvin. Ever since they agreed to the divorce—the peaceful contract marriage becomes chaotic, and their communication skills turn into a farce.“Give me the clothes. I’ll get dressed here.” Kristel tried to hide behind the door, but Galvin put in some strength, pushing

Kristel followed the voice that called out her name. Soon, a dazzling red Ferrari stopped before her, and a handsome driver spoke.“Do you want to follow them?”Kristel was hesitant about whether she would accept the offer.Catching the reluctance in her eyes, the man smiled and persuaded her. “Don’t worry. I’m going there to visit my parents. So we have the same destination.”Just then, Kristel remembered who the man was. He was Dave, one of Galvin’s best friends, whose real estate industry known him as Director David Claymore.Just recently, he had phoned her to pick up the drunk Galvin at the Bar, and he indeed mentioned the accident his parents had encountered.Since they were going to the same place, Kristel opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. After she buckled up, Dave drove the car out of the Hudson mansion.As Dave drove to the hospital, he kept looking at his passenger. He had come across the rumors online and felt empathy toward Kristel.Galvin knew Kristel ha

Galvin remained motionless before the elevator, although its doors had already shut. Kristel had left long ago, but her scornful voice still echoed in his ears, bringing discomfort to his heart.“Mr. Hudson, please be reminded that most of those images posted online were the private property of Hudson Enterprise. They were records and proof of your negotiations with them. From what I am seeing, you must hold a meeting with your IT team and discuss why someone released those photos, which were edited to use for malicious reasons. Should you give them an earful scolding for not giving you a satisfying job of providing you with the best security system in your company? It looks like you better improve your system or hire new ones!”Galvin clenched his jaw, and his gray eyes narrowed when Kristel pursed her lips and tugged the corner. Those red lips are always inviting him to claim them.The atmosphere is tense. He swallowed, then averted his eyes, pretending something caught his attentio
