บททั้งหมดของ My Ex Husband Who Despised Me Before, Now Wants Me Back.: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

The next day came faster than Sarah expected.Everything that happened the previous night still felt unreal in her head, like scenes from a movie replaying repeatedly no matter how hard she tried to ignore them.Frederick drunk…the message…the bar….Margaret arriving.And worst of all….The emotions she felt seeing him again.Sarah shut her eyes briefly as she stood beside the wide glass windows of her bedroom, the early morning sunlight pouring softly across her skin.Thank God they didn’t see her.That single thought had comforted her all night.Thank God.Thank God.Because if Frederick had seen her standing there watching him in that pathetic state, she wasn’t sure what expression would have crossed his face.Shock?Hope?Embarrassment?She didn’t want to know.Her fingers tightened slightly around the cup of coffee in her hand.Then her thoughts returned to the message again.Why did Frederick even send that text to her in the first place?He knew Margaret would come for him event

“I came back home because l forgot my car keys on the couch,” he continued. “I checked your bedroom… but you weren’t there.”What the hell was she supposed to say now?For a few seconds, Sarah remained completely speechless.Her mind went blank first… then immediately rushed into overdrive, searching for anything…any excuse, any believable lie…but nothing came out clean enough fast enough. Her throat felt slightly tight, and she could already feel the pressure of Gideon’s attention increasing.Gideon… no.Gideon must never find out she sneaked out because of Frederick.Never.Her fingers tightened subtly against the fabric of her dress, grounding herself before her expression betrayed her.Think, Sarah, think.Then suddenly…like a lifeline thrown into chaos….a lie formed.“Oh…” she said quickly, forcing her tone to remain steady even though her heartbeat spiked. “I was in the bathroom.”She even added a soft breath at the end, as though it was the most natural answer in the world.Ins

“Can you explain what you were doing there last night… Miss Biggest CEO?”Sarah froze immediately.For a split second, everything inside her went still.Her heartbeat, her breathing, even her thoughts.Then slowly, her eyes lifted.Margaret.Standing there like she had been waiting for this exact moment.Sarah’s fingers curled slightly at her side, but her face remained controlled. She forced her expression into something unreadable as she slowly turned fully toward her.Margaret stepped closer with a strange, satisfied smile playing on her lips. Not loud. Not rushed. Just confident… like someone holding a secret weapon she had been waiting to use.Then she raised her phone.Slowly and deliberately.And tilted the screen right in front of Sarah’s face.Sarah’s eyes flickered downward.And instantly.. her breath stopped.It was a picture.Clear, sharp and undeniable.Sarah standing outside Clomoy Bar the previous night.Half-hidden behind a pillar.Her body angled slightly as she peepe

Miss Sarah!“Miss Sarah! Miss Sarah! Please, don't go yet ” Frederick called out sharply.But Sarah did not look back.She kept walking forward with steady steps, her face firm, her expression unreadable, and her emotions carefully locked away.Frederick immediately rushed after her and tried to block her path.“Don’t go yet,” he said quickly.Sarah finally stopped, but she did not turn to face him fully.She stood there with her back slightly turned, her posture straight, her presence cold and controlled.The tension around them shifted immediately.Everyone nearby fell silent.Moments ago, the board meeting had been in full discussion, but everything had been interrupted the moment Margaret interrupted with a rubbish statement that turned the meeting around.She had spoken plainly interrupting the board members with high intention of humiliating her saying Sarah, the biggest CEO had been seen drinking two bottles of alcohol in a bar late last night.The room had gone quiet for a mome

“Mr. Frederick, the report of the company is getting worse. Investors are beginning to lose patience from this whole matter. We are about to go down… we need Miss Benicta back.”“Mr. Frederick… working in this company has become a disaster. Imagine owing workers salaries for over three months now!”“Mr. Frederick, we need Miss Benicta! We have to call the general director… your mother needs to intervene before everything gets out of hand!”“The only assurance we had was her presence. Kindly bring her back or we will lose our patience completely!”Those voices kept ringing endlessly inside Frederick’s head.Every hallway he passed through carried complaints.Every office corner carried fear. Every worker looked at him with disappointment hidden behind forced respect.The once powerful atmosphere of the company had completely changed.And Frederick felt it heavily.It was as if the walls themselves were closing in on him.The pressure was unbearable.His chest tightened as he stepped o
