บททั้งหมดของ His Ex-Wife Came Back—Stronger.: บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

Dale got home around six that evening, his tie loosened, suit on his arm and hair tousled like he'd ran his hand through it.Tina was still with me, and we both stared as he walked over. “Hey, how're you?”“If you're so worried, why didn't you come over the moment she told you?” Tina huffed, though she didn't sound truly mad. “You know, I'm just her friend and I got here the second I figured something happened to her.”Dale still answered, lowering himself beside me on the couch. “I had to meet Mr James, he's in charge of investigating this.”His hand found my thigh, rubbing it in a somewhat soothing manner, like he was silently assuring me that everything was going to be okay.“So what did he have to say?” I asked, allowing myself to receive warmth in his touch.“They had to check with Nora, just to be sure she wasñt actually involved in this one way or another,” he said.“And what did she say?” “She just laughed at them and was like she wished to see you and spit on you.” He shook

~ Chloe ~It had been a week since I received the last message from the anonymous guy, and I couldn't have hated it more.First, and most importantly, I wasn't able to head over to the company, which meant I hadn't given Kanyin her wedding gift.In fact, I'd barely gone out, and even if I did, there had to be over ten men tagging along.It was very irritating.Which was why, today, I was glad to have just the driver (who was the head of all the guards and extremely strong looking) with me, driving me to Emery's place, and was now taking me back home.Weird that I already tagged it as Emery's place, and Dale's place was starting to turn to mine.My head leaned against the window as the driver stopped by a red light.Just then, a message pinged.My heart jumped as it had been doing everytime I had a message, a part of me expecting to see another from the anonymous person letting me know he'd arrived.It wasn't him.Instead, Tina's message popped.*Guess what!**Your boyfriend proposed?*

~ Dale ~After taking a shower, I dressed in a gray sweater with black trousers, giving my hair a short brush.“You always know how to look hot.” Chloe said from where she sat on the bed, her phone in hand.I couldn't help but smile. She was one of the best decisions I'd ever made.Agreeing to be with her on my wedding day was something I'd never regretted.And now, with her life in possible danger, I was going to protect her no matter what. Because she was mine.“It's a natural gift.” I winked at her smile, then left the room, heading straight to Sophie's.The door was closed so I gave it a knock, pushing it open after her, “Come in.”The room was surprisingly dark when I entered, so I had to search for the switch by the wall, lighting up the place.Goodness, it was such a mess. Boxes lay scattered on the floor, books sprawled all over the place, pillows torn like she'd pulled them hard, the sheets were halfway on the bed, where she laid with her phone.“Get a worker to clean this pl

The room was drop dead silent, till Tina broke it with the words that'd stayed unspoken, her voice low and soft. “Do you guys think he's the one?”“James said the messenger was likely also the person who leaked the news, so we can only guess so.” Dale said, fist clenched. “Do you have his photo? I need to know who he is.”There were tears shimmering at the brim of her lashes when she continued, “I don't have any.”My brows furrowed. “Why? You've been dating for over two months, right? Didn't you ever take a photo together?”“No, he's a private person and told me he's not a fan of the internet.” She sounded like she was just starting to see how dumb that sounded.I sighed, unsure what to even say. The guy had been using Tina to get to me.And whoever he was, he’d planned this.“What's his name?” Dale asked, voice even, but that contradicted the tightness of his jaw. He looked like he could punch the guy dead if he was in front of him.“Zerosh.” She sniffed in, collapsing on the chair w

Monday arrived, which meant Tina would be heading over to meet the investigators. Dale had followed her considering how she said she’d prefer to not be alone.I wanted to tag along as well, but a part of me just wasn’t comfortable with the idea of Sophie being home alone (even though there were a few workers around), so I’d just stayed back, decided to get some work completed on my laptop.I’d given Kanyin a call that morning to ask about the company’s stock and stats, where she let me know everything was normal so far, however, there were meetings I was supposed to hold that day, which had to be scheduled for another time. Unfortunately.It was tiring to be staying at home all day, but I knew I had to hold on. At least till there was a good enough proof on this Zero guy.By afternoon, I got a message from Dale, where he let me know they’d just gotten there. When I asked why they took so long, his reply was he had to stop by the company to get some work finished, then was on his way
