Chapter 29%
I wasn’t sure if it was just my imagination, but the moment Xavier saw Elowen, the atmosphere around him instantly turned cold..
I frowned and looked at Elowen “Why are you here?”
“Of course, I’m here waiting for you. Do you know how long I’ve been standing here? Four whole hours! You refused to show up, so i thought you had already gone to bed. But now you come back and with another man? Callista, when did you become so casual with men?” Elowen complained with dissatisfaction, as if he were the one who had suffered a great injustice.!!
Being randomly labeled as “casual” for no reason, I was furious. I retorted with annoyance, “What does my life have to do with you? You’re just a former husband. Instead of staying by your precious little sister and your daughter’s side, why are you coming here to look for me?” Elowen’s expression stiffened for a moment before he frowned and said, “Can you stop believing everything Vero tells you? Maya and I are just siblings. Yasha is the child you gave birth to. Have you forgotten? How could you even doubt that she’s not ours? if she knew you. were saying such things about her, she would be heartbroken.”
I had to admit, Elowen’s acting skills were exceptional and his shamelessness was on another level. I couldn’t even be bothered to expose, him, but I felt the need to make things clear. Otherwise, he would never stop pestering me.
“Elowen, at this point, you can stop pretending. I’ve known about you and Maya for a long time
Before I could finish, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID before answering. Almost immediately, Maya’s panicked voice came through the line.X
“Elowen, come home quickly! Yasha is in trouble!
Hearing that Yasha was in trouble, Elowen panicked and immediately turned to walk toward his car. Halfway there, he seemed to remember something and turned back to remind me, “Callista, I haven’t signed the divorce papers yet. You’re still my wife. I hope you consider our marriage before making any decisions, so you won’t be criticized later“}
I was so furious that I laughed, rolling my eyes in his direction.8
Having witnessed everything, Xavier raised an eyebrow and said with a half–smile, “Has your husband always been like this?
I frowned and corrected him seriously, “He won’t be my husband for much longer. We’re about to get divorced.”
A glint of something flashed in Xavier’s eyes. He nodded toward my home and said, “It’s late. You should go inside.”
I nodded. “You should head home early too. Thank you again for today
The next day, I got up early to prepare. After having breakfast, I went to the competition venue with Vero 3
When Maya saw me, she was visibly shocked. She stared at me for a long moment before finally forcing out a sentence.”
“Aren’t you already… How are you still able to compete?”
I knew exactly what she meant, but I pretended not to and asked her back with feigned innocence, “I’m a contestant. Isn’t it normal for me to be here? Did you do something that made you so certain I wouldn’t be able to participate?“%
