All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 471 - Chapter 480

Scarlett POV“So you’re admitting it?”The corner of his mouth lifted. He walked toward me while I watched him as if he might actually be dangerous.Then he grabbed the blanket and shook me right out of it.“Much as I’d like to admit it, the evidence points to you being a pretty restless sleeper.”Without the blanket, I could finally see the damage.Bloodstains all over the white sheets where I’d been lying.One long wavy smear showed the path of something that had dragged across the fabric—basically a map of whatever I’d done in my sleep.This was partly his fault too.I vaguely remembered him warming my feet and my stomach.Maybe he’d made them so warm that I’d started kicking and squirming to get away.That would explain the disaster in the bed.A proper lady knew when to stop arguing.I dropped face-down ont

Scarlett POVI rolled my eyes and tossed the sunscreen at him.He caught it easily.“Want me to put some on your back?”Whatever else Jaxen was, I wasn't about to let my back burn because I refused to accept his help.I lifted the back of my dress and waited for him to start.That was when I realized his hands were covered in sand.He hadn't even washed them before putting sunscreen on me.“Jaxen, you're disgusting.”I tried to turn over and knock his hands away, but he pressed a little harder against my back, keeping me in place.“I'll be done in a second.”His voice had gone rough around the edges. I lifted my foot and gave him a kick.“It's sunscreen. That's all you're doing.”Exactly. Sunscreen. Nothing more.Jaxen's throat moved as he looked at my bare back, where there wasn't a single strap to get in the way.

Jaxen POV“I don't spend every waking moment with you because I thought you hated that kind of attention. I was trying to give you enough space to feel comfortable around me.”I'd finally realized what Scarlett had been complaining about.She thought I'd spent too much of the day ignoring her.I stopped kneading the dough and leaned over to kiss her forehead.“I didn't realize you'd rather have my attention on you every second than have room to breathe.”“Who said that?”Scarlett pressed her forehead firmly, giving the impression that I had completely lost whatever sanity I had left.“I want to go home as soon as possible! I only agreed to stay here because you promised me half your assets. What makes you think I want your attention every second of the day?”“Sorry.”I apologized without hesitation and returned to the counter to work on t

Scarlett POVI turned and started walking away.After taking a few steps, I understood how dull it was to walk away just to have him pursue me and apologize.Therefore, I spun around and headed straight back.I perched on a dry spot of the kitchen counter, crossing my legs and folding my arms.“Jaxen, you answered my question wrong.”“Did I?”“When I said you were treating me like a pig, the actual concern was that I might gain weight. You should have addressed the actual problem. You could have suggested moderate exercise to burn extra calories and prevent me from getting fat.”“You're right.”He'd put down the ingredients as soon as I'd walked back toward him.He was carefully washing his hands b

Jaxen POVYesterday, I'd thrown together a rather haphazard meal.Today, I wanted to make something proper.Once our fifteen days on the island had passed, there was a strong possibility that Scarlett and I wouldn't share another meal.The cooking abilities I picked up for her might never be needed again.I listened to her shallow attempts at flattery and let the corner of my mouth lift as I seasoned the food.“Scarlett, if I cooked for another woman someday, would you mind?”“Hmph! Jaxen isn't allowed to cook for other women. I'd get jealous and cut off his hands!”She stamped her foot as she spoke, then shook my arm as if she could force me to take back such an upsetting question.I studied her expression.All I could tell was that she desperately wanted internet access.Whether she'd actually feel jealous over another woman was impossible to say.“I l
