Semua Bab THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN’T DESTROY : Bab 131 - Bab 140

Elysia cleared her throat, but still, the children did not look her way. “Well, I just want to tell you both that today's another day that I'd not be–” “We know,” the children said in unison, cutting Elysia short, raising their heads from the food on their plates. “It's about the event right?” Armin continued, shrugging slightly with no trace of surprise on his face. The same could be said about Alina also. “Uncle Damon told us already so it's fine,” it was Alina this time, forcing a smile that did not quite reach her eyes. “It’s not bad to inform us ahead mom.” Elysia could not close her mouth that opened due to shock, instead, she just sat there, still tightening her grip on the fork that was dug into a steak. After staring for a while, Armin passed a glass of water to Elysia, pushing his head forward as a sign to tell her to drink up, and she collected it, sipping a little content from it. “Thanks,” after what seemed like forever, she spoke up, pushing the water back to Armi

“It's been more than ten minutes since you talked about wanting to ask a question,” Calvin stepped on the brake, glancing at the huge building that was going to be used for the gala. It was a twelve storey building, strictly built with glasses from the top to the bottom; but just like the building was not as eye-catching to him as Elysia, he turned away from it with a neutral expression on his face. “Are you going to ask now?” He pressed, placing his elbow at the top of the car seat. Elysia shifted, staring outside the window. “I have my answer already,” she answered in a soft tone, clinging onto her purse tighter. “Thanks for waiting.” Disappointed, Calvin let out a sigh, sinking into his chair. “Either way, it's fine.” “Are you ready to get in…?” He dragged the question, staring at the people inside the building; some were with cocktails, and others were just chatting. “Or you want to stay back for some time?” “I should get in now,” she replied, faking a smile. “Walking in la

The room fell into cheers and applause as the singers got off the stage after waving towards the crowd, and shortly after, the MC walked up to the stage, letting out an impressed sigh. “That was beautiful,” he whispered, staring at them till they got out of his line of vision. “Or maybe beautiful is an understatement,” he added with a slight chuckle, before focusing on the crowd again. “You know, they really took us back to the 1900s,” he muttered, taking a step forward as he scanned the face of everyone. “And judging from your faces, most of you were born in the 1900s.” “Please make some noise!” He yelled, raising a hand up, but it was only a few of them that did that. The man took out a paper from his pocket, glancing at it amidst the cheers and applause that died down moments after the MC called for order, and he giggled softly after seeing the next name that was on it. “Well,” he cleared his throat, letting a light chuckle this time. “This is what you all have been rootin

Damon swallowed hard, moving his gaze to the floor at the mention of that name, but he was not surprised, neither was he shocked; not even one bit. After the call he had with Lucas, he knew he was not the one, but then, all he needed to do was confirm, and Melissa's response did that. “Are you sure about it?” He asked, narrowing his gaze on Melissa who smirked, nodding subtly. “Just admit it already,” her voice was low. “You know he was the one all along, so with all due respect, you don't need to ask again. “From the look you had in your eyes, all you were doing was praying for me to mention someone else's name, and I don't think I need to ask if I'm right.”“Go on and say what he told you already,” Damon gestured towards a blank space. “I've got things to do.” His last words were coated with lies, the only reason why he wanted to leave was because he needed something to pass his anger to, and without anyone telling him, he knew he had to contain the anger. After all, it was jus

‘'Just like I thought, there's more to learn about him,’ Elysia whispered in her mind, moving her eyes to Calvin, although the cheers and applause from the congregation threatened to pull her from her thoughts, but it had been solidified. Almost impossible to pull out. 'Firstly, a limited Lamborghini car, and now…’ she swallowed hard in her seat, clinging unto her purse as she turned away from him this time, turning to the MC who was also looking at Calvin's direction, and then, for a split second, he looked hrr way, moving his gaze back to the congregation as he waited for the silence to die down. It was obvious that just like the crowd, he was also starstrucked. “Thank you all,” the MC cleared his throat, nodding gently. “Now that we've come to the end of this, it's time to move on to the next stage, which is global networking.”“But we won't let it be an empty one since there will be cocktails distributed to each and everyone in the room!” The man yelled, raising a hand into th
