All Chapters of THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Author's povThe meeting stretched on for a while before it finally came to an end. Chairs scraped lightly against the floor as everyone began to stand.Adrian picked up his file and walked out with the others.Just as he stepped past her, his shoulder brushed lightly against Clara’s. The contact was brief but it sent a reaction through him he wasn’t ready for.Still, he didn’t stop. He didn't bother to turn to see her face or give a reaction, desiring the fact that he felt a strong pull to. He maintained his calm stride out of the Hall. As he got to the reception, Ron called from behind. Walking fast to meet up with him. He stopped to wait for Ron who caught his breath for a few seconds before speaking up. "I wanted to talk to you about something but you seem to be in a hurry." Ron breathed hard as he tried to catch his breath. "Is it important or is this one of your ways to keep me with you once again?" Adrian asked nonchalantly. "It's important, just wanted to ask how you feel

Clara's Pov "Then what is it about?" She asked me, concern written all over her face. "It's... I just want Leo to see beyond this country. Plus, the company agreed to sponsor the both of us regardless of the cost." "That's great then." She replied with a shrug and constant smile like I didn't just tell her I wouldn't bring my son to her again. As we sat there in silence for the next few minutes, I felt like the ground should open and swallow me. Shame clawed at my insides, mocking me for half lying to my friend. Cassie felt the tension as well, I could tell because she was taking calculated sips from the cup and shifting her gaze to the paintings on the wall. The silence was deafening, I picked the remote and turned on the television. With a smile, I turned to Cassie. "Would you like a tour of the house?" It was her first time being here after all, so it wouldn't be a bad idea. Her face lit up almost immediately. "Are you for real? I would love a tour." She replied lightly and

Clara's Pov I went about my business, packing our bags in my room, ignoring Julian's presence since he thought it was a wise decision to walk out on me to meet the person who mattered the most to him, I ignored him as well. And for the next six hours we spent under the same roof, I went about my business. We all had dinner at the dining table and I focused squarely on my food. Julian played father with Leo, feeding him and paying so much attention to him and making small talk but that was not my concern. After I was done eating, I went upstairs first. Leaving him and Leo behind. The nanny would have everything cleared and washed so there was no need for me to hang around the place. I returned to my room and continued to pack the boxes we would be using for our trip. I was done packing the things we needed for the cold. Like the thick boots, the thick coats and hand knitted caps I got from a very good vendor online, I moved on to the next item in my list which was packing our clo

Author's POVSilas raised his hand and waved Elena away and she scurried out of the dining room, abandoning her cleaning equipment while at it. He brought out a pack of cigarettes from his back pocket, picked one stick from the array, placed its bottom in between his lips and brought out a lighter from his pocket. He tried twice before the fire stayed, then he brought it to the cigarette that was held in place. He replaced the lighter and pack of cigarettes then used his index and middle finger to pick the stick from in between his lips then blew out the smoke. He repeated the process of sucking and blowing out the smoke until the dining room was covered in smoke. Walking out of the polluted space, he brought his phone from his pocket and called a number he had to type into his phone. It wasn't saved in his phone. "Hello, boss.." The other line connected and a young man replied, sounding energetic and loyal. "I want you to look into Adrian. Report what's going on with him, any n

Author's POV"Who are you always calling and expecting calls from?" She asked him on one occasion as his suspicious activities continued and just like Clara expected, he acted totally clueless like she was speaking in a foreign language. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Are you saying that you haven't noticed your movements of late? The way you always look at your phone, how absent minded you have been?" She asked and this time, he let out a slight scoff. "Oh that, that is nothing." He simply waved it aside and changed the topic. Clara was confused and worried but since he didn't want to open up to her, she had not much of an option. Clara didn't want to push further since Julian refused to agree to what she saw at the mall, or agree that he had been acting strangely of late. She decided to drop it since it didn't affect her trip in any way. If Julian was secretly meeting up with Elena for some reason, as long as it didn't concern her, she wouldn't bother about it. The preparation
