Getting My Ex-wife Back

Rossie had never imagined that she’d be abducted by Jacky’s men and even see Logan.

“Here, have something to eat.” Logan came in from outside with some food for her and sat down. The room was warm, and Rossie looked at Logan, not knowing what to say.

He placed the food in front of her and gave her some cutlery.

“This must be a misunderstanding. I’ve already called Jacky, so…” Logan looked at Rossie. “Have you and Zorion broken up?”

Rossie pursed her lips and did not speak for a long time.

Zorion?

“I failed to protect you last time, but I won’t let it happen again. As long as you’re not willing to, I’ll protect you.”

Logan had been wanting to see Rossie since the last time they’d met, but he hadn’t had the chance to. Later, when he heard that she’d left, his heart had stopped beating as well.

It was an accident that they’d abducted Rossie instead of the daughter of a high-ranking official. Although it was a mistake, it was a blessing in disguise to him.

Meeting her was the best gift he had received this year.

“Come on, eat.” Logan passed the cutlery to Rossie, but she refused to accept it. He grabbed her and put the cutlery in her hand.

“I’m not hungry. Can you let me go?” Rossie wanted to get out of here. Her plan was to fly somewhere else, but the plane had gotten hijacked and she’d somehow ended up here. All she wanted was to leave this dangerous place.

“I’m afraid not. I have to wait for Jacky’s instructions before doing anything. You can rest assured that I won’t let anyone hurt you, though.”

Logan reached out to hold her hand. She shrunk away from him and lowered her head. “I want to be alone.”

He felt that it was a good idea as well. After all, things had happened so suddenly.

He got up and left, closing the door behind him. He stood there for a while before walking away.

A few people were standing outside when Zorion came. The moment Zorion’s car appeared, someone informed Logan.

Logan had already walked out of another room when Zorion got out of the car.

Logan stopped Zorion from entering.

“Mr. Whalen.” Logan smiled perfunctorily. Though Jacky was stuck in Capital City because of Zorion’s sister, Logan wasn’t fond of Zorion. After all, there was bad blood between them, and Rossie would be his if not for Zorion.

He knew the exact reason for Zorion’s appearance the moment Rossie was brought into the picture.

“Get out of the way.”

Zorion’s face darkened at the sight of Logan. Anyone else showing up would have put him in a better mood.

“This is Waverly Village. It’s not somewhere that any Tom, Dick, and Harry can just come and go as they like. You got off lucky the first time, but you won’t be as lucky each time.”

Since Jacky wasn’t around, Logan was in charge of Waverly Village. There was no way he would back down.

Zorion didn’t want to waste time with Logan. He called Jacky on the phone, and the moment the call was connected, Jacky asked, “What time will you be back?”

“Tell your men to step aside.”

Jacky wasn’t a fool. He knew that Zorion was already being as polite as he could be.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Pass the phone to Logan.”

Logan took the phone from Zorion and walked a distance away. “Jacky, Rossie…”

“Let them see each other. If she doesn’t leave with him, I won’t interfere in anything else that happens between the three of you anymore, but you have to at least let them meet. Relationships aren’t about who came first.”

After that, Logan turned to look at Zorion. He handed the phone back to him and said, “I’ll back down this time, but don’t think you can pull it off next time. I won’t give in anymore.”

…

Zorion put his phone away and strode into the room, ignoring Logan. He closed the door behind him, looking at Rossie. She sat on the bed, her arms wrapped around herself. She looked a little plumper than before. It looked like she’d been getting on pretty well without him.

Before he could take another step, she sad, “I want to be alone.”

He looked down at his feet and took his shoes off before heading towards her. She frowned. “I really want to be alone.”

He didn’t stop until he was right next to her, gazing at her.

Compared to when they’d first met, she’d gone from being spirited to indifferent, but he still liked her as she was.

Rossie felt that something was amiss and turned around, taken aback when she saw him standing there.

Zorion put his hands into his pockets. “Are you surprised?”

She slowly put her arms down and glanced at the door before looking back at Zorion. “What are you doing here?”

“Can’t I be here?”

She did not know what to say.

For a few minutes, they remained in silence. One was curled up on the bed while the other stood there with his feet bared.

Zorion had been in such a rush to come here that he hadn’t put any socks on before leaving the house.

They looked at each other. Rossie’s gaze fell on Zorion’s undershirt beneath his coat. It wasn’t a proper shirt, which meant that he’d come over in a rush…

She pursed her lips and turned away. Where else could he be at a time like this?

Watching her turn away, Zorion gritted his teeth. “Isn’t there anything you want to say to me?”

She turned to look at him indifferently. “What do you want me to say?”

He fell silent.

Zorion continued to grit his teeth. Because of this standstill, no one said a thing.

Rossie turned away again and looked out the window. A few seconds later, she said, “Thank you.”

Zorion took a deep breath before kneeling on the bed and picking her up.

It was so sudden that Rossie was caught off guard. When she returned to her senses, he’d already started walking towards the door with her in his arms.

At the door, he put his shoes on and walked out, his face void of emotion.

When he opened the door, he paused, his gaze sweeping over their surroundings. At this juncture, no one would be able to stop him.

Rossie looked up at him, dazed. Wasn’t he the last person she wanted to see?

Why wasn’t she resisting at all?

Logan stood in their way the moment they were out of the room. Zorion’s eyes shot daggers at him, and he spat out frostily, “Get out of my way!”
