All Chapters of Crossed: Chasing Back the Unwanted Wife: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Jules tried to keep her eyes on her plate of scrambled eggs, but she just couldn't shake the weight of the stare on her.Still, she kept her eyes down and tried to get the food down her throat, her eyes flickering to Asher, whose spoon was making a bad instrumental in the dining room.As usual, the boy didn't have a problem in the world.But the harder she tried to fight it, the more the look on Cassie's face the other day seemed to be engraved even more in her mind.She had this look of fear and terror in her eyes after she lifted her head from the test kit. And it had made Jules' legs go weak.She was pregnant with Nolan's child, and she didn't know what move to take next.“Mom, please stop staring." She finally mumbled without looking up.Instead, her mom just took another bite but didn't look away. “You look better this morning." “Well, the medication is working." “The right medication." The woman corrected.Jules blinked, her eyes darting to Asher then to her mom. “Seriously?"

If anyone had told Jules that just two words from Asher would be enough to convince her to go back with Ethan, she would’ve locked the kid in a room earlier. Seeing Ethan after nearly three weeks of being with his grandma, Asher was thrilled and wanted to go back home. And Ethan had used that to his advantage to pull her back with him that minute. Either way, she was back to this house, and she was stuck because, as much as she tried to remain calm, she couldn't bear the guilt breathing down her neck. And she knew it was only with time and Ethan would notice that something was up. For now, she busied herself with work, and she made sure to spend a little extra time at the office so— “Ma'am?" Zee's voice cut through her thoughts, making her eyes snap up. “What is it, Zee?" The assistant blinked, still holding the files in her hand. “You asked for a rundown of the affairs of the company while you were gone." “Well, speak, I'm listening." Zee looked even more confused. “They're

It can not be that easy to win you back, Jules." Cassie said, shutting the bathroom door and heading for the bed. She had on only an oversized t-shirt, her hair packed into a messy bun, with a frown etched across her face.“So, does he know?" “Of course not. You don’t expect me to just wake up one morning and decide to just blurt it out to him, do you?”Cassie shrugged. "Well, you'll have to do it somehow. I mean, Ethan's not stupid, and your symptoms are not the quiet type. How sure are you that he hasn't figured it out yet that you're not just sick?”Jules whined on the other side like a kid who's just been told to go to bed. "Cassie, I'm so scared." She said, “Do you know he wants to go on a vacation…” her voice dropped to a whisper. "...and have a baby.”Cassie nearly laughed but told herself in time that it wasn't funny. Aside from the fact that this had been the genesis of their issue, now she's scared to say it out loud."You're in big trouble, girl.” She tore open a bar of c

“And where are you now?” Ethan said into the phone, a frown etched across his face as he shoved his feet into his shoes. “Alright, stay there with the rest. I’ll be there soon.”Jules turned her face away as he ended the call, trying to pretend she hadn't been listening even though Ethan was very much aware she was in the room.He'd been acting really strangely the past couple of days, from making strange calls so complicated to understand to hurrying out of the house, then coming back home to give some shitty explanation.She just turned back to scrolling through mails she hadn't attended to during the week as Ethan stood from the bed.Without even thinking, Jules stood from where she sat and walked over to him. “Where are you going?" She asked fearlessly, still holding onto her phone. “And don't give me that bullshit about work. I know something is up." Ethan's throat bobbed, but his face remained unchanged—unreadable. He pocketed his phone and buttoned his sleeves. "Well, it is re

For a second, Nora's words just rang in Jules headeveb after she was done talking. It was like a record being played about five more times in five seconds. Still it sounded like gibberish and she didn't understand it.“Jules?" “You're lying. You're fucking lying!" Jules suddenly yelled at her.Nora's gaze shifted to Nolan filled with fake pity. “Oh no, she's gone." “What's are you talking about?" If Nolan wasn't restraining her, she wanted to go I've to her and punch her face till all the resemblance faded away.But Nora remained calm. That eerie calmness that threatened to shake Jules. She took a step closer.“I knew you won't believe me. Ethan tends to win peoples trust very quickly." “You better tell me who the fuck you are that gives you so much right to speak about my husband that way." Jules shot.“You defend him like you've never had thoughts about leaving him.” She scoffed. "Anyways, before I say anything, you should know your enemy isn't me, but Cassie. Your best friend."
