All Chapters of After Divorce, My CEO Ex-Wife Begs for a Second Chance: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Jessica did think about grabbing her stuff and leaving instead of sticking around and being an eyesore.However, she wasn't a local. She really had nowhere else to go aside from this place.What's more, she simply had too many things. A woman had many belongings like clothes, makeup, and bags, which were troublesome to bring around—unlike a man, who could survive with just a phone and a pack of cigarettes.The villa was huge and extravagantly furnished; it could easily fetch a market price of 260 million dollars. That was also why Jessica thought splashing out 130 million dollars on buying this villa was a steal.She felt grateful to Benedict for willingly allowing her to stay there for the time being, and naturally didn't have the cheek to ask to stay in the master bedroom.Ignoring Benedict's efforts to stop her, she shifted all her belongings out of the master bedroom on the third floor to the guest bedroom on the second floor.Benedict didn't want to help Jessica with her per

The next morning, Benedict woke up the moment the clock struck six. Since he started learning from his teacher when he was young, his biological clock had been tuned. No matter the season or how late he slept last night, he would wake up at six in the morning on the dot.After washing up, the first thing Benedict did was breathing exercises.When he lived with Chelsea, he had to sneak up to the top floor to do so. Now that he stayed in a villa, things were more convenient for him.That was because right outside the master bedroom was a spacious and beautifully decorated balcony on the third floor.On the balcony, Benedict faced the east side and placed his palms on his lower abdomen as he started engaging in the 36 techniques of the Heavenly Spirits that he poured his heart and soul into training over many years. As he practised, his breathing started becoming long yet shallow.Wisps of purple mist emerged from the rising sun in the east and approached Benedict, who inhaled them

"Granny, this is between the two of us. Can you respect our decision and not interfere?" Chelsea argued."What do you mean, this is just between you two? I was young once and I know what you're going through! What God has joined together, let no one separate. Marriage is not child's play! You two began in courtship, and I can see for myself how much Benedict loves you. Don't be ignorant of how blessed you are. If you really divorce him, how are you going to find another man as good as he is? You'll end up regretting it!"Helena was old, but still very fit and had the energy to go on and on, lecturing Chelsea."That's quite enough. I can make my own decisions. I don't need you lording it over me! I'm getting a divorce, and that's final!" Chelsea said furiously."Fine! You refuse to listen to me! You're all independent now, aren't you?"Helena's face flushed with anger, and she started panting hard. All of a sudden, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she lost consciousness.

After Benedict and Chelsea sent Helena back home, they each made up an excuse to leave.Helena held both of their hands and reminded them for the umpteenth time to treat each other well, and that disagreements were inevitable in a marriage. They just needed to talk things through and seek reconciliation instead of rushing to get a divorce.Eventually, when they started talking about her 80th birthday celebration, she warned Chelsea that if she didn't see Benedict at the celebration, she would stop the party and ask for a coffin instead.Chelsea had no choice but to give in.Helena was finally satisfied and saw them out of the door.When Benedict and Chelsea walked to her car parked outside the alley, Chelsea stopped in her tracks and turned to ask Benedict, "What do you want?""What do you mean by that?" Benedict asked her back."Did you deliberately bring Granny to the clerk's office so you can stop us from getting a divorce?" Chelsea asked, clearly suspicious."It's fine that

"Benedict, on the other hand, can't help me at all. I'm bound to be the most successful businesswoman in Arlen City. His filial piety, concern, and care aren't what I need right now. I'll divorce him the moment Granny's 80th birthday celebration is over!" she told herself.Thinking of how she could visit Derrick at his house, all because of Henry's credit, Chelsea started to compare both men once again.Meanwhile, Derrick gave Benedict a call, respectfully requesting that Benedict visit and check on him. He was feeling unwell and was wondering if his condition had taken a turn for the worse.Benedict agreed at once. He called for a cab and hurried over to Derrick's house.After he hung up, Derrick looked at his wife, Faye. With a half-smile, he said, "I gave Ms. Yarwood the project on account of Dr. Drake. I even gave her a higher profit share. I can't tell Dr. Drake that straight to his face, or he might think that I'm trying to claim some kind of credit. But I just called her o
