Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Ex-Wife Came Back—Stronger.: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

“What are you doing here?” My tone didn't bother with any form of familiarity, not hiding the fact his presence gave me no bit of gladness.“Why didn't you answer my calls?” He went straightforward, heading towards me whose arms were already crossed over my chest.“I didn't feel like it.” The answer was simple, but through the night light, I could see the frown on his face.“Listen, we need to talk.”“No, we don't need to talk one bit.” My tone was calm, composed and professional, earning a tightened jaw from him.He stepped forward, but I raised a hand, stopping him from coming any further.“Listen, I have no idea why you're here and truthfully, I don't think I can give a fuck to care, but my car's tyre is flat. Do you have a spare one to borrow? If yes, then give it, I'll compensate you nicely for that. If not, you should be getting yourself out of here.”He blinked, most certainly surprised by my bluntness. “What?”“What I said.” I shrugged, liking how I was keeping us on professio

~ Chloe ~ Cole was silent as we got in, but I knew he had questions to ask. Questions I very much wasn't in the mood to answer. Instead, tossed my shoes, replacing them with dog slippers laying on the floor. “So… what were you doing out there with Dale?” He finally asked, though cautiously like he knew not to thread too deep as I would likely not offer any answer. “Nothing of any importance.” I simply replied, packing my hair up in a bun. “It didn't seem that way.” He took a seat on a cushion. “You both looked like you were having some serious conversation that I broke.” “Yeah.” I sat on the couch, reaching for my phone. “Is everything alright? Why were you both chatting outside? And so late at that?” His tone was still one of cautiousness. I decided to still offer a reply, though we both knew that was likely to end soon. “My car broke down. He drove me here, and took to asking some dumb questions whose reply was quite obvious.” “What question? Also, why did you tell him we'

“You look nice. What's popping?” Sam asked Saturday morning as he strode in without a knock.“I'm heading to a party hosted by a friend of Mr Augen’s.” That explained enough. I wasn't interested in going deeper.“Oh yeah, I heard that from mom.” He fell on the couch, while I buttoned the gray suit I had on which certainly matched the gray pants with shoes.“So, are you taking Nora along?” It was obvious from his tone that he knew the answer.“No.” A simple answer. I grabbed my phone, pocketing it. “I'm taking my leave now.”“Sure. I'll just look for another friend to disturb.” He offered a wink as I left my house to a car ready for the road.A driver was already there when I got in, and with a roar, the car started, taking off.It took an hour before the event came to view, light bursting from every area.The car came to a halt right in front of it, and a guard sauntered over, opening the door for me.Smoothly, I got down, making my way into the hall, expression the same as ever.The

~ Dale ~“Let go. You don't get to touch me that way anymore.” Chloe said, her voice composed. Not the dominating type, but certainly not shy or timid in any way.But the composure, the strength to it, made me take a step back, my hands sliding from her wrist.Wow. She really wasn't joking around.And seeing that sent a slight hurt through me, because this was the same female of a few weeks who'd allowed me to kiss her. Touch her.Now, she seemed to have no interest in me.All because of Nora.Chloe took in a breath before straightening. “What is it you have to say Mr Beldson?”Gosh, how I hated when she called me so formally.Which led to the question, why did I hate it so much? Why did it hurt to see her treat me this way, but smile at Cole?This wasn't supposed to be so, but it was. And the reason for that was something I wasn't ready to brace myself for.At least not right now, with her staring expressionless at me.“Mr Beldson.” She called again, bringing me back to earth. “I ha

~ Chloe ~I saw him the moment I stepped out of the company. Dale was standing by the car, leaned against it while he chatted with a female— Rita.But his eyes flicked to me the moment I sauntered into view. Of course they did. Dale always looked at me like I was his.Either way I wasn't going to acknowledge him or ask why he was there.Instead, I continued my way, not too fast that it'd seem I was trying to run from him quickly, but not slow either.Just, unaffected.Exactly what I wanted him to see me as. In control. Composed. And very much unbothered by all that happened in Nigeria.“Chloe.” He called after, his tone having an edge to it. Like he suspected I might ignore him and keep walking.Slowly though, my feet stopped, but I didn't turn or head to him. I waited till he walked up to me, stopping in front of me.“Tell me the truth,” he started, heading straight to the point. “You and Cole, is it true? Are you both a real couple?”His question startled me, causing a furrow of my
