Invisible to her Husband의 모든 챕터: 챕터 161 - 챕터 170

It wasn’t that she really cared, but this was surely shocking. He had just been with her a few minutes ago. Death, right?“Ian is dead?” she asked.“I have no idea. The crazy thing is he came to attack me, then someone else started attacking him.”“I don’t get it. What do you mean by someone else?”“Well, he ran with me. He had a bullet. He might be fine.”“So you two escaped?”“I can’t drive, so he had to drive.”“What?” This was confusing for Fatima. “You’re saying that you and Ian rode together and he didn’t kill you?”“He was not going to kill me in the first place. He just wanted to bruise me. But yes, I needed to leave that place ASAP.” Fatima understood what he was saying.“So, you both have a new enemy?”“It looks like it. Whoever it was, they were prepared. They shot up the place and seemed to be aiming for both of us. They might have heard we were both there. They wanted to kill two birds with one stone,” he explained.“Great. That means the two of you are now cool, right?”

Of course Madelyn was alive. Fatima already knew that. She felt sorry for Ryan because he had no idea Madelyn had probably moved on. Madelyn had made it clear she didn’t love him anymore. But Fatima knew telling Ryan the truth would only start an argument.“Ryan.” Fatima swallowed hard as he handed her his phone.“Please speak to her. I’m overwhelmed right now,” he said.Luckily the call hadn’t started yet. It was just in the caller log. Fatima didn’t know what to do. If she refused, Ryan might start to suspect her. So she took the phone and pressed the call button.Fortunately, the call went straight to voicemail.“No, something is wrong.” Ryan grabbed the phone from her hands. “I heard her voice. She’s alive.” He tried calling again himself.Fatima wanted to tell him the truth, that Madelyn probably heard his voice and ended the call because she didn’t want to talk to him. But she knew better than to say it.“Are you sure it’s her?”“It’s her number, Fatima. It’s her,” he said, soun

While Fatima tried to process what Madelyn had meant, Ryan sat across from her, openly expressing his joy.“Honestly, there was even a moment when I thought she had purposely left, that she faked her own disappearance,” he said.“And now?” Fatima asked.“She’ll explain everything to me. She said she just needed time. A lot has happened to her, you know? It’s understandable.” Ryan was already making excuses for her. “She was supposed to get married, and then she got into that accident. It was a lot.”“I see.” Fatima tried to keep her voice steady and act as if everything was perfectly normal. “So… she didn’t say anything else?”“I know she didn’t try to reach out to you, and that’s unfair, but please try to understand her for my sake. She’s spent her whole life taking care of you and your family. She deserves this one time to focus on herself.”“What are you talking about?” Fatima frowned. “Did you forget that she and Nicholas hooked up?”“That was years ago,” Ryan replied dismissively

Back at Nicholas, he and the kids had enjoyed a wonderful day together. Not only had he taken them to the park for a picnic, but he had also treated them to some light shopping with the little money Fatima had given him.It was safe to say it was one of the most peaceful days he had experienced in a long time. Even Isabella had left him alone, too busy building her case against Ian. As long as she knew his location, she seemed satisfied.Nicholas had bought Bonnie a bird and Wave his favourite puzzles. The day had been well spent. By evening, he returned home with the kids, only to find that Fatima was not back yet.“The kids are ready to leave next week. I think Fatima and I need to speak,” he told Mrs Wilson while Bonnie and Wave settled into their bedroom with their new pet. Wave was already eagerly trying to assemble his puzzle. He truly loved puzzles.“I have tried calling her. I’m sure she’s just busy,” Mrs Wilson assured him. She could hear the worry in his voice.“She should b

Madelyn was about to make Ian and Leslie leave when Nicholas walked right back in. It surprised her.“What’s going on? Didn’t they just arrest you?” she asked, blinking like she was dreaming. Even Ian turned around in shock, wondering how Nicholas was back in just a minute.“Nicholas is my man now, so he’s my client,” Isabella said as she walked in. Since she was a lawyer, it instantly made sense.“Great, another copy. Who are you again?” Madelyn said, sounding bored. “Isabella, yes. So you think just because you went to law school and practice here and there, you can challenge me?”“No, I can challenge you because I’m not only smarter but I actually know the law.”“They had a valid arrest warrant,” Madelyn said. She was a little shocked too, why had they let Nicholas go when they had a valid warrant?“Well, guess what? I didn’t see any grounds for them to arrest Nicholas. So I threatened them. If they took him, I would have their jobs taken. And…” Isabella stepped forward, getting cl
