Getting My Ex-wife Back

“We also share part of the blame for what happened,” Jepherson said. Jacky laughed, “It has nothing to do with you; it’s my own fault. You should go; I’ll visit him in a few days. I have to wait for Logan to wake up.”

“People make mistakes, but no one deserves to die for them. He lost his head for a moment.”

At that, Jacky returned to Waverly Village, disappearing from Jepherson’s sight in no time.

Jepherson looked back at Zorion, then entered the car and returned to Capital City.

Zorion’s car followed behind his.

When Jepherson was back at Capital City, he did not return to his home but instead to the Moore family.

The car came to a stop, but Jepherson did not come out. Later, he went back home. Zorion returned to his home. When he entered the house, Tetsuo informed him someone from the Moore family had come and sent an invitation to a meal the next day.

After accepting the invitation card, Zorion opened it and scanned through the content before handing it back to Tetsuo. “Did they send it at night?”

“They sent it at one o’clock.”

He stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Tetsuo. “Did something happen to Flynt?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Tetsuo seemed confused. “I don’t understand what you mean, Mr. Zorion.”

“Forget it.”

Rossie walked behind Zorion as they entered the villa.

Zorion headed straight upstairs, and Rossie followed suit.

After closing the door, he grabbed his pajamas and went to take a shower. Rossie, too, took her pajamas but went to another room to shower.

Stunned, seeing that Rossie was not in his room after he came out of the bathroom, he went outside to search for her, and Tetsuo told him that she was in another room.

When Zorion entered her room, she had already showered, changed her clothes, dried her hair, and was already sound asleep.

He walked over to Rossie, tucked her in, and left after switching off the lights. When the door shut, Rossie opened her eyes and stared at the door before flipping the light switch back on.

She didn’t know why, but ever since she left Zorion, she never had a good night’s sleep. She could only rest with the lights on at night, and she would feel insecure when she turned off the lights occasionally.

To her surprise, during their stay together this time, she could fall asleep even when they did not share the same bed.

She stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, finding it ridiculous now that she thought about it. Even though he was a monster, he was better than nothing. Sometimes, the pain kept her sane. At least she still had someone by her side; it would be a tragedy if she was all alone.

The moment Zorion came out of her room, he heard the sound of a flipping switch. He turned around and stared at the light from the door gap but still walked away after a moment’s hesitation.

…

Johan was alarmed in the middle of the night. Ronard rushed into the room, walked over to Johan, and whispered something in his ear. Johan slowly turned to look at him and asked, “Where’s Elina?”

“She’s throwing a tantrum.”

“Hmph, pathetic.” Johan hated when women cried and made a fuss.

“What else to do but send him abroad to recuperate now that he had lost his arm. He’ll only be an embarrassment if he stays in Capital City. I didn’t expect him to be this useless.”

“But it seems like our time in Capital City has come to an end; we’ve lost our foothold here.”

“I don’t understand, Sir?” Ronard hesitated. Johan asked, “Who sent out the invitations?”

“It’s Mr. Colston.”

“Colston?” Johan recalled the Moore family had a few young ones; however, he could only remember a few.

Flynt had many younger brothers, and they all had different interests. Some liked to play around; some liked to sing, and a few liked to gamble. Most of them did not engage in honest work, and because of that, Johan was not fond of them.

Then there was Colston. He loved reading and would come to Johan occasionally.

Johan asked, “How much younger is he than Flynt?”

“One year younger.”

“Why did he take the initiative to come forward this time?” Johan asked again, his voice full of curiosity.

Ronard replied, “I heard there is a girl in his place. He wanted to see you a few times because of her, but he didn’t get the chance to.”

“Maybe he improvised this time, taking a risk, leading him to cross the line.”

Johan glanced at him and said, “He’s bold. How dare he send out invitations using my name for a woman! If it weren’t for her, I’m sure he wouldn’t have bothered. It seems that he has already seen through the lies and deceits in this house. He knows that the more capable he is, the worse his life would become, so he kept his abilities hidden.”

Ronard didn’t say anything. Johan continued, “Go, have Colston come over, and tell him to bring that woman too. I want to have a look myself.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Ronard immediately went to carry out his duties. Shortly, Colston came. He entered the room and walked over when he saw Johan.

“Greetings, Grandpa.”

Colston lowered his head as he spoke. Johan stared at him for a while, then thought of something and asked, “What were you thinking when you invited Zorion and Jepherson over? Why are you doing this?”

“Grandpa, I’ll answer your second question first. The reason is that I want to see you.”

“Everyone in the family knows those with lowly statuses will never get a chance to see you. I was born outside of the family by a concubine, and the Moore family took me in after my mother died when I was two. Although I received formal education just like the other children in the family, I have undoubtedly no status here.”

“I initially wanted to live a decent life with my own family and a stable job.”

“But I never thought even my girlfriend would be bullied because of my lowly status.”

Johan was taken aback. “Who bullied your girlfriend?”

Colston replied, “Nirvan and Kieffer.”

“They bullied your girlfriend?” Johan’s face fell. “Summon those two brutes.”

“Yes, Sir.” One of the servants hurried off.

Johan waited until the servant left, then asked, “How did they bully her?”

“I knew Louisa from college. I brought her here because I wanted her to see my home. With my status in the family, I don’t have to bring her to you; it doesn’t matter if she stays at my place.”

“But when Nirvan and Kieffer saw her, they harassed her. I was furious, so I quarreled with them.”

“They told me I have no status in the family, don’t have a mother to back me up either, and I have no say in my own marriage. If they told you about this, Louisa would only become their plaything.”

Johan let out an angry snort upon hearing Colston’s words. “This family is getting worse day by day. They have completely destroyed our family’s reputation; how much more shameless can they get?!”

While Johan cursed, two men came in with Louisa behind them.

Johan never liked flirtatious women, so he was surprised to find Louisa gentle and quiet.

“Ronard, please invite Miss Louisa to take a seat.”

It was a great honor to be welcomed by Johan. Thus, Ronard hurriedly grabbed a chair and invited Louisa to sit down.

But Louisa only thanked Ronard, then moved to stand beside Colston quietly.

Although Johan didn’t like her attitude, he still endured it because the Moore family needed Colston right then. As for Louisa, it was a matter for another day.
