Semua Bab THE GENIUS HE LET GO: Ex-husband’s Regret: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter Twenty-Two“You can’t go to the family house with this kind of attitude, Aurora. Do you think mom would be pleased with you?” Ethan went on, annoyed by Aurora’s silence.The more she stayed silent, the more panic he felt. It was as though he was losing his hold over her.Why, she had just said no to his offer to spend time with Riley.Didn’t she say Riley was her life? He knew Aurora loved Riley to death but she was also his daughter, and with Aurora’s scheming nature, he was not so sure he wanted Riley to be raised by her.This was why he’d pushed the child closer to Celeste. Celeste was the perfect mother. She was sweet, attentive to Riley’s needs and would always show up for Riley whenever she needed her, especially since no one knew Aurora was her mother.But they knew Ethan Langford was her father, and she was the sole heiress of the Langford Empire. Having Celeste act as her mother in public was perfect for Ethan’s image.Although he knew this must hurt Aurora, he fig

Chapter Twenty-FourCeleste stayed behind while Ethan stormed out of the room.As soon as the door closed behind Ethan’s form, Celeste dropped her mask.Her face which was all pleasant earlier, with an innocent expression, turned hard with a sly smile.“What’s wrong?” Aurora asked, her lips curved in a slight mocking smile, “Tired of playing mummy? Weren’t you all worried about Riley a minute ago?”Celeste laughed quietly, as she played with her well manicured nails, “I don’t care about your child, Aurora.” She uttered, her voice clear and free from the nauseating nasal intonation that she normally used whenever she is with Ethan.Ethan was not here now, so there was no use acting all frail and soft and innocent. The eyes which stared back at Aurora now were malicious, and definitely not innocent.Aurora’s fists clenched where she crossed them against her bosom. She had always known Celeste was pretending, and was only giving Riley that much attention so she could get closer to Ethan.

Chapter Twenty- SixAt those words, Vera and Bella seemed to pause in their thoughts as they tried to understand what Aurora had just said.“We’d be achieving our greatest wish?” Bella asked, barely able to hide the alacrity in her voice.Aurora placed her spoon down, her smile still cold and offending. Ethan could not take it anymore. He slammed his open palm on the table, and pointed at her angrily.“Aurora, you’re being too much!” He said through gritted teeth, anger radiating from him, “Where do you think this is, that you’re playing such tricks?! When will you drop this your disgusting petty character?!”He could not believe that Aurora would dare to act up in front of his parents, even his father.She had really changed.What the hell was wrong with her?!At the same time, there was a prickling of fear in his heart. Aurora had dared to bring up the idea of divorce before his parents.Does this mean she was serious about it?No!He scoffed in disgust, “A scheming woman would alw

Chapter Twenty-Eight“I created the Aurex-9 for Ethan!”Aurora didn’t react at first.She slowly put her wine glass down, then stared at Celeste, with disbelief at what she’d just heard. Never in her entire life had she thought she’d hear something like this, and not only was she living out the reality, she was hearing it from the person she least expected the most.“You…hold on…” she let out a small laugh of disbelief, leaning back on her chair. Her light colored eyes glinted with sharp mischief as she crossed her arms, “Tell me one more time, Miss Moore. You created the Aurex-9 that cured Ethan?”“How many times do you want her to say it?!” Bella snapped, eyeing Aurora with disdain, “Or is your brain too lowly to comprehend it?!”“That’s right!” Vera uttered, “You’re just a loser who never got into college so you’d never understand what we are talking about. The point is Celeste cured Ethan because of her talent and brilliance! What did you do?!”“Aurora, you see why it’s pointless

Chapter ThirtyWhen Ethan returned home later that night with Celeste and Riley, he found Aurora waiting in the sitting room.Riley was half asleep, her eyes drooping terribly, and one of the maids quickly took her up the stairs to her room.Aurora sat with her back ramrod straight, and her head held high like royalty. Her expression was one of cold reserve and she gave them a disdainful look when they all walked in.Ethan narrowed his eyes on her..“What on earth is she playing at now?” He thought to himself.After that little jealous stunt she’d pulled at his family’s dinner, she’d walked out and no one had bothered to call her back. Ethan had figured she’d be at home, waiting with her tail between her legs and waiting to cause more trouble.And here she was as he’d expected but something was off…Ethan looked around and his gaze zeroed in on Aurora once more. She was wearing an outdoor coat, and had two huge suitcases standing beside the couch near her.Ethan clamped down on his a
