Semua Bab SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE: Bab 391 - Bab 400

 Beth POV When the door slammed shut, and I was left alone in the house, it was as if all the fight left me. I felt so drained.  Arguing with Brent had been emotionally and mentally taxing. That is why I avoided it at all costs.  If we could co-exist peacefully with our child, that would be better.  For years after our divorce, I accepted that all we could ever be is Krizzie’s parents.  I never want to return to that time when all I do is beg for his love and attention.  When he offered marriage,

Brent POV She is avoiding me.  “Mommy, ahh!” Krizzie opened her mouth and took a bite from the sandwich Beth placed near her mouth.  “Yummy.” She declared while munching happily.  “How about Daddy?  You let him have a bite out of our sandwich, too.”  Krizzie prodded her mom.  The smile on Beth’s face froze. She did not move until I forced her by coiling my fingers around her wrist and pulling her hands near my mouth so I could take a bite out of her sandwich.  All the while, I was looking at her.  

Brent POV I felt her resistance fading away.  Our chests heaved with too much emotion, but I was not letting her go.  She twisted her body, and I released her, but I made sure that she was not far. I took her hand, all the while looking straight into her eyes.  “I told you, I love you.”  “Love is nurtured, Bernt.

There is nothing about my company or wealth that could impress you.” I told her bluntly. “Still. It’s one piece of information you kept from me. I was supposed to know because I was your wife.”“At the time, the BASS was not this big. I started as a private investigator. My reputation grew with the help of Noah Hunter. He threw work my way. I specialized in corporate espionage. I unravel many cases of economic sabotage and stealing company trade secrets. Then, the Fords also gave me jobs.” “Isn’t that a bit dangerous?” Worry etched on her face, and I leaned forward to smoothen the folds it created on her forehead. “I am doing administrative work nowadays. Before, I used to handle cases that took me weeks, sometimes months, to finish.” The creases on her foreh

Beth POVBrent gave me a tour of his building. From time to time, I could feel the long stares. They were sizing me up, like people were judging my suitability for their boss.It made me uncomfortable, and for a moment, I realized the disparity in our standings regarding wealth and influence. He was up there, and I was left down here. But Brent’s hand wrapped around my waist, or the way his eyes lingered on mine, ignoring everyone else, gave me the courage to dispel the negative thoughts away. Brent's success shouldn't be an issue in our relationship. Of course, in this world, Brent is the boss. He is the man on top, and anyone who closely associates with him meets people’s scrutiny. “Are you alright?” Brent asked, sensing my discomfort. His attention was all on me, fending off people who wanted to approach him. “I am fine.” I tried to wave him off.
