Semua Bab My Gorgeous Ex-Wife, Come Back to Me!: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Darren stood in front of the elevator for a long time. He could still feel the warmth of Areiza’s mouth against his lips. Kissing her for real felt better than he had imagined.He stared blankly at the closed elevator doors and replayed what just happened in his mind over and over.Darren was not a man of strong desires. Although he had been with Hallie for so many years, he had never felt the urge to touch her. But it was different with Areiza.He couldn’t explain it.When Areiza slapped him after he kissed her, he did not even feel it. The pain only registered to him when she started crying. Darren felt that his heart had been broken into splinters.“Darren?” Darren heard someone call him from behind. He turned and saw that Hallie was standing there.Darren averted his gaze. He didn’t want her to suspect anything, and with an expressionless face he said, “Let’s go back to the apartment.”Darren walked into the living room with Hallie following behind him closely.“I am so happy that

It was pouring outside while they were having dinner. Because of this, Areiza could not help but be worried about how she would go home. She would rather not take Darren’s car.Jennifer seemed to have sensed her apprehension. She looked outside the window and asked with a smile, “Dear Aria, would you like to stay for the night?”“I have to work tomorrow, Grandma,” Areiza replied with an apologetic smile.“It’s okay. I will ask the driver to drive you to the company tomorrow morning, so you won’t be late.” Jennifer said with a smile.Darren heard their conversation and looked at them.Seeing him like this, Jennifer glared at him and said sharply, “What are you looking at? I don’t care whether you want to stay or not. But I hope Aria stays with me, even just for one night.”Jennifer held Areiza's hand and looked at her expectantly.“Okay.” Areiza could not refuse her, so she just agreed.Hearing this, Jennifer's face lit up. Meanwhile, Lillian, Frank, and Martin also look delighted.Onl

Mr. Wright’s driver took Areiza to a high-end bar not far from the cafe. He ushered her inside and led the way to a long corridor of lush private rooms. Before long, he stopped in front of one and knocked on the door.“Come in.” A deep, attractive male voice comes from the inside.The driver opened the door and gestured for to Areiza go in.Areiza nodded at him and walked into the private room. The room was dimly lit, but it exuded a cozy ambiance. It was also fair in size. Most of the space was taken by large, nicely upholstered seats and a small table. Mr. Wright was sitting on the sofa and swirling the contents of his glass. The rust-colored liquid, which Areiza assumed was whisky, glinted in the light.“Have a seat, please.” Mr. Wright looked at Areiza with a flash of amazement in his eyes. He gestured for her to take the sofa opposite him.“Thank you.” Areiza said and sat down.Then, he bluntly said, “One million dollars a year plus birthday and holidays gifts.”He spoke as if he

Without a word, Areiza opened the door and left. Darren followed her shortly.Areiza walked to the elevator and waited for the doors to open. While she was waiting, she suddenly felt someone put a coat on her shoulders.“Don’t wear revealing clothes again,” Darren advised.Darren was standing beside her. After putting on his coat, his smell became stronger and overpowering. In all honestly, Areiza found it upsetting more than comforting. She could not help but clutch the hem of her clothes in dismay and forced herself not to turn around to look at him.They did not say a word on their way back, let alone mention a kiss. Ironically, Darren was in a better mood. He even drove slowly on purpose to appreciate the scenery outside the window.The skyscrapers glinted in the light. It was breathtaking. It seemed that the world had never changed because of mishaps. Only people did.They arrived at the destination not long after.Darren parked the car at the gate of the community. Areiza immedi

“Darren, are you sure about that? Are you really going to let me date Areiza?” Alex asked excitedly.“Yes.” Darren answered firmly.“Then you had better remember that I am a man with needs. Areiza is beautiful. If something happens between us, I hope you won’t regret your decision.” Alex said.“I have told you that you two will just pretend to be in a relationship! You are not allowed to touch her!” Darren's voice was filled with coldness.“If I date a girl but never touch her, then what’s the point of dating her? For killing time?” Alex retorted.“Cut the crap. I am telling you; don’t you dare lay a finger on her!” Darren warned.He was stubborn and didn’t want to reason with Alex, and the latter sounded displeased.At that very moment, Areiza walked out of the fitting room. Alex turned to look at her.“So Beautiful!” he exclaimed.He walked over and circled her, and then looked at her from head to toe. “I won’t dare to take you out wearing like this, or else other men will try to st
