All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

Scarlett POVI wasn’t an expert at investing.But after everything I’d received from Jaxen, along with my savings, I had enough money to have professional financial advisers managing my investments.They’d recommended several relatively low-risk products with decent returns.The market had been doing well lately, and I’d made a nice profit.So technically, I wasn’t lying.I just wasn’t telling Ryan the real reason I’d been smiling. I didn’t know how to explain the Jaxen situation without dragging him deeper into it.Ryan’s lips curved slightly. “Congratulations.”“Thank you, Mr. Parker.”Our eyes met for a second. Something warm and unspoken lingered in the space between us, the kind of quiet tension that made my pulse tick a little faster. Lydia seemed to dance happily in my mind.I wanted to be bold. I wanted to say yes to whatever this was becoming.But the shyness hit at the same time, tight in my chest, mixed with that familiar anxiety about Jaxen waiting at home. I looked down f

Scarlett POVI kept stealing glances at Ryan.And the scenes from when we were watching the movie just now made the corners of my mouth lift without me even realizing it.The film was genuinely good, but I still couldn’t focus completely.My attention kept drifting to the man sitting next to me.He was included in the story.That focused expression made him look even sharper, even more handsome than usual.His face shifted with the plot; sometimes the corner of his mouth lifted in a quiet smile, sometimes his brows drew together slightly.It was so different from the serious, composed Ryan I saw every day at the office.I realized I was deeply drawn to him.Just watching the slight changes in his expression felt like a quiet happiness.Now and then he would catch me looking.He simply gave me a soft smile in return.It wasn’t a kiss. It wasn’t anything dramat

Scarlett POVI’d already told Ryan why I wasn’t ready to date.I was still trying to untangle myself from my marriage.What I hadn’t told him was that my ex-husband and I were still living under the same roof.And after our date last night?The last thing I wanted was for Ryan to see Jaxen acting like we were still a couple.That would look terrible.Like I was keeping one foot in the past while flirting with someone new.I slipped out from under Jaxen’s arm and walked faster toward the parking garage.If I could get to my car first, I could leave before he came up with another excuse to follow me.Unfortunately, Jaxen was six-foot-three.He caught up with me in seconds, his longer strides closing the distance

Scarlett POV“Well, this is unexpected. You actually called me?” Regina sounded surprised when she answered.There was no accusation in her voice.I got straight to the point. “How are you feeling?”“I’m fine. I’ve been fine for a while.”“Good.”There was a temporary pause. “Is that all you called to ask?”I was already considering ending the call when she added, “Because I wanted to ask you something too.”“What?”“Do you have a new boyfriend?”My eyebrows drew together. “Who told you that?”“I wouldn’t say they were making it up. They seemed pretty convinced.”She paused. “Apparently he’s a Parker. Jonathan Parker’s grandson?”She didn’t say Ryan’s name, but there wasn’t exactly another possibilit

Scarlett POVMy ex-husband was knocking on my bedroom door.I ignored him.There wasn’t much else to do.I just sat there staring at nothing, frustrated and bored out of my mind.Living under the same roof as Jaxen made it feel like my life wasn’t even mine anymore.My future was completely in his hands. Completely.And I still hadn’t figured out how to fight my way out.Just thinking about it made me restless.What I really wanted was to stop caring about the consequences.I wanted to see Ryan Parker in the open. Date him for real.No more sneaking around, no more worrying about what Jaxen might do.But wanting something didn’t mean I could actually do it.If Jaxen came after me, I could
