Dear Ex-Husband, Your Enemy Wants Me 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

Conall“Conall, is this such a good idea? Does your mother really want to be around me since I was part of the family that ruined her life for a long time?” Serena asks.I told my mom that I had been spending a lot of time with Serena. She didn’t know how to react at first, but I soon made her realise that just because she was married into that family didn’t mean she was anything like it. She is happy enough for Serena to join us for dinner tonight. They have met before, once, a long time ago.“Serena, it will be fine. My mom doesn’t have a problem with you. They have put you through just as much as they have my mother and me, probably more so. She doesn’t hold anything against you.” I reply and rest my hand on her knee, squeezing it.I am surprised Serena agreed to come. I know she said she would after the last time I was going to invite her, but I honestly didn’t think she would. I thought it would be too much of a big a step for us, especially since we are still only “casual”. I ho

Conall The first thing I do when I wake is reach for Serena, but I am soon disappointed when I realise she isn’t there. Confused, I sit up and glance around. I notice her things are gone. Her clothes and bag were on the chair before we went to sleep. I search for my cell to check the time in case I have overslept. It is only seven. What time did she leave? There are no texts on my cell. She could be somewhere else in the apartment. Running my fingers through my hair and dragging my sleepy ass out of bed to check. I walk through the apartment, but she is nowhere in sight. I groan and run my fingers through my hair. Did she leave during the night? Was dinner with my mom too much, too soon? I thought we were past this; Serena running off when things get too much. I don’t know what else to do. I try my best to keep things casual between us, but even that seems to be too much for her. I groan in frustration as I return to my bedroom for my cell. We should have gone to her place, at least

Serena It took a few hours, but eventually, I got seen too at the emergency room. They cleaned up my hand, took more glass out, stitched some of the deeper cuts up and wrapped my hand in a bandage. They gave me some antibiotics. It was a stupid thing for me to do, but it wasn’t on purpose. My anger got the best of me. “Why are you still here?” I snap, glancing over at Henry, who is sitting on the chair. I told him to leave after I arrived here, but he didn’t listen. I wonder what he told his fiancée about where he was. He wouldn’t have told her that he was with me. “Because I want to make sure you get home safely.” “I am not a child. Can you leave already? If you are waiting for a thank you, you are going to be waiting all night.” I don’t care if he is the one who cleaned me up first and made sure I got here safely. It doesn’t make up for everything else he did to me.“Why haven’t you called, Conall? Are the two of you done?” “That is none of your business.” “I will take that

SerenaI have spent most of my day asleep. I didn’t want to be awake because it would mean thinking, or should I say overthinking! I don’t have the energy to think. Plus, my hand is throbbing. I feel it now, full on, and it makes it hard to do anything, so I gave in and decided to hide in bed most of the day. My call with Conall didn’t help with how I am feeling. I should have known Henry would have told him, just to rub it in that he was there for me last night, and Conall wasn’t.I should get out of bed and eat, shower even, but I don’t want to. It seems like too much of an effort. I groan and pull the covers over my head. I want this day to be done. No, I want this week to be done. I need this low mood to go and fuck itself.A loud knock at my front door makes me jump up quickly. Who the hell is that? It better not be Henry. I am sure if he really wanted to, he would have found my address. I ignore it, but the knock comes again, only louder this time. If I don’t answer it, they wil

Serena The second I wake, I reach for Conall, but he isn’t there. I expected him still to be here, but I shouldn’t be surprised that he has left, considering I am not giving him what he wants or needs. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair, disappointed. I hoped he would have stuck around. Instead, he has become someone else who leaves, but the difference is that this time, I am the only one to blame for it. I can’t blame him for any of it. I shake my head and climb out of bed. I need a drink, and I should eat something. I feel sick, probably because I haven’t eaten anything today or drunk enough. I drag my feet towards the kitchen. The closer I get, I hear noise and the smell of something cooking tickles my nose. Is Conall still here, or am I so hungry that I am imagining the smell of food? I pick my speed up and rush towards the kitchen. I stop at the door and smile when I see Conall is still here, cooking dinner. I sneak up on him and slip my arms around him from behind, bur
