All Chapters of The Cold Ex-Husband Kneels For Love Again : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"We'll discuss tomorrow. You ought to sleep now.” Noa responded. She began humming a lullaby, but Eli wanted to ask more questions. Soon Eli fell asleep.Lullabies provided Noa with little periods of calm throughout her pregnancy, when her twins caused chaos every night. She was tempted to touch Eli as she saw his serene expression. But she withdrew her hand, switched off the lights, and stealthily exited the room out of concern that she might wake him. She was awaken as she returned to her own room by memories of people and things from the past. She eventually got out of bed and made the decision to go for a stroll in the garden. However, as soon as she opened her door, Czar appeared through the study door across the hall. Their gazes locked. Noa slammed her door shut with a loud thud in an instant. Czar scowled, hesitated, and then turned to see how Eli was doing. He closed the door softly and went downstairs after noticing that he was sound asleep. Noa was waiting for hi

Czar didn't anticipate Hayden becoming so enraged over Noa. His eyes went cold. "If you won't do it, I'll find someone else." "Are you really choosing her over me?" Hayden asked, his voice harsh with rage and veins protruding from his forehead. "She saved Li and hurt her hand. I had Jo investigate, and it turns out that she broke her hand in prison. Her hand hadn’t healed and she used it to protect Li.” Czar responded. Anger simmered in Czar’s low voice. "Were you aware of that?" Hayden flinched. "How could I possibly know?" "Then why aren't you looking into it?" "Fine, I'll look into it," Hayden retorted, his annoyance growing. “However, what about Mya? Man, when will you get a divorce? After four years of being with you, Mya has nothing to show for it. How much longer will you make her wait?” With his pen flowing effortlessly across the paper, Czar opened the contract and began to sign. "Grandma is not in good health. Simply put, now is not the proper moment

Noa stared at Czar. "You don't regret any of this?" They were sitting side by side on the stairs now. Her smile was silent and sharp, like a sword. Czar let go of her hand. "I—“Her grin got bigger. "Don't worry about Grandma’s health if you are. She doesn't regularly review our marriage license. We simply keep the divorce a secret from her. Easy." "The problem is... she keeps the marriage certificate." Noa’s eyebrows flew up, "What? Really? Why would she act in such a way?” "She's afraid you'll leave me." He looked stupid even to himself as he yanked at his collar. "It's true, even though it sounds absurd. There's no need to lying to you.” Logically, he ought to be the one hurrying this breakup more than she is. "I'll talk to Gia tomorrow," she firmly stated. "See how we can file for divorce without the certificate." She went up the stairs without waiting for a response. She was already being pulled to sleep by the drink. After standing outside her door for a while,

Broken-hearted? Furious? Noa was unable to sense any of it. She was simply numb. Pretending nothing had happened, she returned to her room and concentrated on her fashion design drawings. Even Eli hovered by her door a few times, feeling a twinge of remorse. But in the end, he stomped out to his own room without saying anything. Noa and Julia were the only people in the house for days. Eli and Czar had vanished. Noa drowned herself in the fashion design drawings every day, aside from eating and sleeping. She said nothing, ignoring everyone. Julia and Elias were afraid to talk to her, so they just sighed. One day, Noa happened to walk by the TV and watched a news article about Aire Law Firm hosting a celebration in honor of Lain Lors's comeback. She paused and observed the man on TV, who had sharp eyes despite his polished appearance and soft demeanor. Her own eyes lost even more of their brightness. Lain had returned. At last, the inevitable had come. Julia instan

"Noa?" Gia gave Noa’s arm a gentle prod since she was lost in thought. "What's wrong?" Noa shook her head, jolting back to reality. "Nothing. Come on, let's eat." "Okay. There’s this fantastic barbecue restaurant located nearby. Let’s go try it.” With shopping bags in her arms, Gia took the lead. However, the concert hall just so happened to be on their route to the restaurant. Mya’s posters and banners, featuring blown-up pictures of her face and the bold text "Prodigy Pianist Mya Streep’s Debut Performance," covered the entire entrance. Gia scowled. "What an ugliness, ew. Is she not concerned about spoiling people's appetites by hanging so many posters?” She pulled Noa in the other direction. “Actually, I just realized that the barbecue joint across the street is even better. Instead, let's head there." In an attempt to divert her companion, Gia talked endlessly about the restaurant's menu and flavors, but Noa had not heard a word. She abrupt
