All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 401 - Chapter 410

Scarlett POVAs soon as I’d finished speaking, Ryan stared straight at me.His expression was complicated, and I couldn’t guess what he was feeling.I did not know whether the news that Jaxen and I wouldn’t be living together anymore made any difference to him.I wasn’t arrogant enough to assume he was secretly overjoyed.Being stared at for that long made me uncomfortable.Ryan didn’t seem inclined to say anything, so I glanced toward the door.“Mr. Parker, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.”My words seemed to bring him out of whatever thoughts he’d been lost in.“All right. Go ahead.”“Okay.”I turned and left his office as quickly as I could.To be honest, his reaction had left me unsure how to act around him.I’d already turned him down once; depending on how he saw thin

ScarlettPOVIt had been several days since I’d told Ryan I was no longer living with Jaxen.Ryan had shown no interest in taking things further between us.That left me in an awkward position.I’d opened the door, but now I did not know whether he’d ever walk through it.I pressed my lips together.“I don’t know. It depends on whether Ryan Parker still needs me.”“You, honestly.” Regina tapped my forehead lightly. “You can’t just take every opportunity to make money.”“Sometimes I need the money. And if there’s an easy way to earn it, why wouldn’t I take it?”I would not pretend I wasn’t motivated by money.“Fine, fine. I can’t win an argument with you. If I keep talking, you’ll get annoyed with me again.”She picked up her coffee and stirred it.Meanwhile, my eyes

Ryan POVThe elevator felt far too small with Scarlett standing beside me.I never looked directly at her, but that didn’t make her any less present.If anything, being this close to her made it harder to ignore her.My wolf was restless beneath my skin, urging me to turn toward her, catch her scent, and find out whether she was as aware of me as I was of her.I kept it under control.I’d spent the past several days thinking about our situation.I had a pretty good idea of what Scarlett was waiting for me to do, but I wasn’t rushing to make the first move.If I rushed toward her now, I’d be the one chasing her.And I would rather not make myself so easy to take for granted that she never had to think about what it meant to have me in her life.The elevator reached the top floor.I stepped out without saying a word to her.I didn’t even wait for her to fo

Scarlett POVBefore, I’d spent so much of my time focused on him he probably had given little thought to how often I helped other people.Now that I barely wanted to look at him, I was sure he noticed the difference.If I were willing to make time for Delaney but not for him, I could understand why he might be jealous.That didn’t mean I wanted to discuss it.“I’m not answering that kind of pointless question.”I shifted in my seat.“You’ve seen me. Now leave. Stop hanging around here and scaring my aunt.”“I’m not some monster. Why would my aunt be afraid of me?”He sounded genuinely dismissive of the idea that he’d done anything to upset Regina.“Besides, she’s not even here now. What’s the harm in my staying a little longer?”“Don’t play dumb.”I turned my face away.

Ryan POVThe words caught in my throat.I couldn’t finish the sentence.For a moment, I wondered whether I was the only one who’d taken whatever was happening between us seriously.I’d tried to be careful. I’d tried to give her space.I’d tried not to make myself too easy to take for granted.And somehow, I’d ended up feeling as though I’d been played.Scarlett seemed ready to argue that she wasn’t running away.But after a moment, she appeared to reconsider and fell silent.I couldn’t tell what she was thinking.I only knew that my earlier irritation had turned into something sharper, and I couldn’t seem to get a handle on it.I watched her closely, waiting for an explanation.After a while, she lowered her head.“I’m sorry, Mr. Parker.”I moved my gaze away from her.“I haven&rs
