The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Return 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 176

172Fredrick’s POV I was anxious, and I hated that feeling with every fiber of my being. It didn't even help that every attempt to try to shake it off just didn't work. Instead of my anxiety going down a notch, it seemed to triple, and I wasn't sure how long I was going to be able to hold it. A sigh slid past my lips as I stared at the paperwork in front of me. Mountains and mountains of files and documents lined my desk, but for the life of me, I just couldn't bring myself to touch any of them. I'd tried doing that in the past one hour, but I think it was safe to say that I wasn't making any progress. I didn't like admitting it, but I needed a distraction, and quick. My mind flickered to Alora immediately, but it was different this time, and that only dampened my mood further. Usually, the thought of Alora would fill my mind with peace and calm, but recently, all she did was feel me with this forboding sense of dread. Maybe I was being overly sensitive, but she'd changed. Yes

174Alora's POV I wasn't one to easily give up, but at this point, I think it was safe to say that I was fed up. Maybe giving up was too big of a word to describe the situation I was in, but right now, I couldn't exactly figure out the right word to use.

They weren't in any compromising position whatsoever, but I couldn't shake off the fact that something was wrong. Fredrick had changed ever since Lena climbed the corporate ladder, which was weird because her ride to Fredrick's personal assistant was something that still shocked me till this very moment. I wasn't one to question Fredrick's choices, but when it came to Lena, I would waste no time i

176Alora's POV The next couple of days that followed were nothing short of a drag. Heaven knows how much I'd yearned for each day to pass by in a blur, but they never did. Instead, they stretched longer than I would like, and with each hour that passed, I couldn't help but think back to that fateful night. I knew I was in the wrong for not showing up early, and I had honestly planned on apologizing to him. Ever since Nathan joined our team of investors, it had been one meeting to the other. We were growing, more than I originally thought, and I couldn't even lie that it was exhilarating. I honestly thought Fredrick would share in my happiness, but his output recently wasn't exactly encouraging. He seemed to be closed off and loved starting arguments at the smallest signs, like the night of that business event for example. When Nathan had made that statement, I half expected Fredrick to be proud of me. We weren't the only couple st the event, and a whole lot of people have good
