Semua Bab Chasing My Ex-wife Back : Bab 51 - Bab 60

RUBY"I'm sorry."I listened carefully to Wyatt's explanation and made sure not to miss any detail. Anything related to Tina was worth knowing, because I had now learned that this was only the beginning, or, to be precise, the resumed battle. And if what Wyatt said was true, Tina seemed not to get the lesson. Or she thought she finally got the chance to crush me because I was no longer Logan. I was nothing.A long, heavy sigh escaped my lips as all registered in my mind. It explained the man's appearance, whom I thought was merely a passerby. Turned out, he is my bodyguard sent by Wyatt to watch Austin and me. As absurd as the idea was, I couldn't blame Wyatt for that because Ethan had helped and protected me as he was ordered.It also explained why Wyatt showed up at my store even though no one told him. It must be from the bodyguard."Does Austin have someone watching him, too?" I threw a question. I didn't mind that Tina targeted me. But if Tina dared to harm Austin, she would lear

RUBY"You know everything." I threw the accusation once the call connected. No greeting, let alone generosity. Instead, my voice was like a grumble."Know what?" And of course, what I got was confusion."Bodyguard.""Ah." Just that, and it was more than enough to tell me that Helen knew it all along.Yes. I was talking to my so-called best friend."Traitor," I grunted, another accusation. How could she hide such important information?"Whoa. Whoa. Relax, Ruby." She sounded like she was backing off. "I hide it because I know you will hate it. Then what will I get? No one to protect you.""So you also know the reason behind their existence... why Wyatt sent them to watch us," I concluded.Silence for a second before shock was heard from the other side. "You know that Tina is back? How?"Wait. Shouldn't that be my question?"You won’t believe this. Tina came into my store and made a mess there." I huffed. I hated to recall the incident. It was annoying as well as embarrassing. I fought i

WYATT"Give me updates about Foster," I asked Ron the next morning at our regular meeting. It's our routine before work to sync our agenda and discuss essential topics."I’ve talked to Logan’s lawyer team, and they will initiate the investigation. If they find Foster really spread the false rumour, they will take action immediately."I nodded, satisfied with his answer. "Then, what about Tina? What is she doing?""I’ve ordered a man to follow her, and all she did was party with friends all night."It sounded just like Tina. They say that time can change people. Unfortunately, it didn't work on Tina and her family."And where is she now?""In her room. Our man will inform us if she leaves the hotel."Another nod in acknowledgment. That meant today should be in peace as long as Tina stayed anywhere but the hotel."Then I assume we can proceed to our work with less worry," I concluded, deep down hoping today would go smoothly because I had many things to catch up on. And for precaution,

WYATTAfter Ruby left me, I dove into the report for the next meeting while waiting for Marcus' return. He is the other assistant in Ron's place during Ron's absence due to his role at the main office in New York. Marcus is pretty good at his job, and I can see he is eager to learn and catch up. Perhaps more time working together would help us sync better. But if I have to choose between Ron and Marcus, it is Ron, since no one is as good as him.However, my focus was disrupted by a ding on the phone. Not mine, but Ruby.Yes. Ruby forgot her phone, and, unfortunately, I managed to read the message through the notification.Brian.[Are you free Saturday night?]I quickly grabbed the phone before the light turned off, only to see it was right. It was Brian asking Ruby out.The image of them together popped into my head. The clinic, Ruby's house, and, lastly, Ruby's bakery. They had built a close relationship, which I somehow didn't like. As a man, I know the meaning behind Brian's gaze t

RUBY[I'm sorry, Brian. I have my own plan on the weekend, and I'm not sure you can join.]It was my reply to Brian's message asking about my plan on Saturday night. As I guessed, he invited me to a dinner with Austin, or he would visit my house and join ours.Either way, I couldn't say yes because..."Weekend is my time with Austin."Yes. Wyatt's request. He made me promise not to interrupt his quality time with Austin, even though it was hard for me to accept. Didn't they do well last time?But, okay. I would go with Wyatt since it was our deal. Also, it seemed to be going well last time, but it actually didn't with me. I had my own turmoil, and it exhausted me even to picture such a situation happening again.So Brian and Wyatt shouldn't be present at the same place and time. It was for my own sake.[Okay. I understand. We can do it another time, maybe, not on the weekend.]One thing I like about Brian is his understanding. Perhaps it is because his job required him to understand h
