Semua Bab Love me back, Ex-Wife: Bab 1 - Bab 9

“Is it because of her? Did Daisy upset you?”Ethan moved to the already set table, grabbed a wine glass, and poured himself some red wine.Swirling the wine in his glass nonchalantly, he took a slow sip, his eyes still fixed on Brielle, who stood across from him with a neutral look on her face.“She didn’t upset me,” Brielle said flatly.She wasn't surprised that he didn't even remember the name of the woman he had kissed on the street passionately.In their few years of marriage, Brielle had become used to seeing him with different women every week, changing them as though they were his sheets. She used to believe she would make him feel the same way, and they would live happily ever after, and it was only a matter of time for him to realize no one would love him as she did. But was it just her wishful thinking?“What is it about then? I wouldn't do it if you didn’t like me bringing anyone here. There is nothing serious; I’m just having fun.” Ethan said, leaning against the dining ta

“Jessica is pregnant.” The words stung hard as they left Brielle’s lips. Ella froze mid-sip, the music of the club now long forgotten. “What?” She asked, leaning in with wide eyes. Brielle only nodded, not bothering to raise her voice- she didn’t need to. The truth echoed louder. Jessica had shown up as one of Ethan’s many flings a year ago, but unlike his other flings, he had kept her for longer. She had been in the picture for a year, even though Brielle had never seen her. Even though Brielle never showed it, it bothered her because, like all playboys, Ethan had a rule. “Never stay with a woman for more than a week.” Unlike the others who followed the rule, Jessica had stayed for a whole year! But she suddenly showed up a week ago, claiming to be carrying Ethan’s child and begging Brielle to let Ethan go so she could have a place in his life. “She came to you?” Ella’s mouth parted as Brielle narrated, and she nodded slowly. “That witch has got some nerves!” Sh

“I…uh.” Jessica’s face went pale immediately after the words left Ethan’s lips."I just... I knew you were married, so I heard about her," Jessica tried to cover up her nervousness."Do you know Brielle in person?" Ethan seemed only to ask casually, somehow Jessica had a sense he might feel something was not right.“Of course not.” She answered immediately.“So why would she mistreat you? Brielle isn’t that type of person. She wouldn’t do that.” He said confidently.Throughout their marriage, he realized Brielle was too kind and gentle to mistreat anyone without a valid reason, so Jessica’s claims were questionable.“I don’t know either, Ethan.” Jessica sighed pitifully. “She suddenly attacked me without telling me anything, but do not blame her for that. She must have misunderstood our relationship and acted impulsively as soon as she saw me at the restaurant.” She added, pretending to care about Brielle.Jessica waited for a while, hoping to get a response from Ethan, but the line w

"You're such a mood killer, Brielle," Ethan muttered, clicking his tongue and backing away."If you have needs, you know exactly where to find someone to handle them. Just don't come to me," Brielle said sharply.Her words hit a nerve. Ethan grabbed her arm and pulled her close again, his eyes flashing."What did you just say?" he demanded. "You are my wife!" why the hell do you keep pushing me toward other women? No sane wife would do that!"Brielle let out a dry chuckle. "Isn't that what you've always wanted?""Oh, I get it. It's still about it. You are jealous." Ethan smiled knowingly and raked a hand through his hair."I meant what I said, Ethan. There are thousands of women ready to warm your bed. Why not give one of them a call? Maybe Reina Fallon—she was at the house a few days ago. I'm sure she remembers the way." Brielle said with a polite but distant smile.It took Ethan some time to recall who Reina was, and then his lips twitched in amusement. Her words only confirmed his
