Semua Bab The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again!: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Heaven knows how furious Maya was when Louis ignored her and stared at Alice earlier.She had even wanted to strangle Alice on the spot. However, Professor Eslite had arrived and now was not the time for arguments.Maya had attended this banquet with Louis partly to assert her claim on him and partly to meet Professor Eslite. Over the past year, she had studied extensively abroad and was now working on a scientific research project. She sought professional recognition to facilitate securing investments.The Adel family had fallen into decline, and without Louis, Maya wouldn't have been able to attend this banquet, let alone meet Professor Eslite, a man perpetually occupied.She knew she had to seize this opportunity. So, for now, she set aside her grievances with Alice and pulled Louis toward Professor Eslite. With Louis by her side, she hoped to have a better chance to speak with the esteemed professor.On the other hand, Louis lowered his gaze, his expression void of significant emo

The party quickly came to an end. Some attendees left with significant gains—partnership deals secured or even successfully recruiting a scientist for their companies. Of course, some walked away empty-handed, like Louis. Not that he had come expecting much—he was only there to accompany Maya.Well, no. He did make a "gain." Eslite introduced him to a brilliant scientist. It would have been better, of course, if that scientist weren't his ex-wife. The thought made Louis smirk coldly.He glanced at Maya, walking beside him all evening, and said, "Wait for me in the car. I need to take care of something."Normally, Louis wouldn't speak to Maya in such a tone, but his mind was in turmoil right now. All his thoughts revolved around Alice, leaving him with no energy to care about anything else.Maya didn't need to think hard to know what Louis wanted to handle—he was definitely going to find Alice. She wasn't sure what they'd talk about, but she didn't want Louis near Alice. The whole poin

Alice looked at Maya, suddenly smiled, and said, "That's right, quite a coincidence."Seeing that Alice wasn't intimidated by her presence, Maya secretly gritted her teeth, but outwardly, she showed no reaction.At this moment, the department head glanced at the two of them, his expression puzzled: "Oh, do you two know each other?"The department head was a chubby man with squinty eyes and a peculiar expression that always made him look extraordinarily cunning. In reality, his mind was also running wild with speculations.He knew about Maya's influential background and was aware of the rumors surrounding her—that she was Louis's secret crush. He also knew that Maya had easily secured a lecturer position at the university thanks to her family's influence.Although the Adel family had declined over the past few years, a skinny camel is still more significant than a horse. Ordinary people like him stood no chance of competing with the Adel family.Meanwhile, Alice was just a poor girl wi

Louis heard Ron mention that some lecturers would perform, and his heart skipped a beat for some inexplicable reason.Unaware of Louis's thoughts, Ron smiled and asked, "Did you happen to know a lecturer at our university, Mr. Louis?"Louis was about to say no, but Ron quickly nodded as if he'd figured it out. "Ah, how forgetful of me! Of course, you must be here for Ms. Maya. Don't worry, and her performance will be up soon!"Ron smiled knowingly, though Louis wasn't sure what he thought he understood. Only then did Louis realize how casually this principal spoke to him, almost like an old friend, with no hint of pandering or a push for investments. Even Louis's long-time acquaintances didn't converse this easily with him—especially after he took control of the Adonis family.Eventually, Louis merely nodded, letting Ron assume whatever he wanted. Yes, he had come here because of Maya's invitation—or at least, that's what he told himself.Unlike Louis's muted reactions, the students w

For an entire year together, Alice had always appeared gentle before Louis. She treated him with unwavering sweetness as if her affection was honeyed. She seemed uninterested in speaking to anyone else besides him.Louis had taken this for granted—until Alice turned cold toward him. It was only then he realized just how impenetrable her coldness could be.At first, he thought she was simply angry with him, which was why she acted so distant. But after tonight, Louis finally understood: perhaps Alice wasn't angry. Maybe she didn't feel anything for him anymore.He only needed to hear her violin to know. Her music revealed ambition, resolve, and an unyielding heart. Could someone like that indeed drown in love? Louis didn't think so.Yet, why had Alice been so gentle and sweet during their year together? Now, Louis couldn't help but doubt her sincerity. A seed of suspicion sprouted in his mind—had he been deceived?But even so, he couldn't control his heart. The brief doubt in his mind
