Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 56



Chapter 56 Can you believe youre even asking that ? The woman youre messing around with had the nerve to insult me .

Ive never been so disrespected in my life ! Deborah fumed , her anger making her face almost twitch with tension .

1 quickly patted her back , trying to soothe her .

Grandma , dont let it get to you .

Was it Joanna who insulted you ? Hayden questioned , his deep eyes cloudled with suspicion .

In his mind , Joanna was understanding and gentle , not someone who would curse .

I quickly noticed Haydens gaze turning towards me , and a sense of foreboding washed over me .

I bristled like a hedgehog , defensively snapping .

What are you looking at me for ! You think Im framing her ! Hayden remained silent , probably because he really did suspect me of setting her up .

Deborah jumped to my defense right away .

Dont pin everything on Yvonne .

What just went down was seen by everybody .

If you let that woman step foot in our house , you can count me out as your grandma ! Deborahs stance was firm and clear , and even Hayden didnt dare to argue That evening .

Rita prepared a bath for me .

While 1 lazily swirled my fingers through the floating petals , she chimed in , Mrs.

Deborah Parker hates the idea of an affair .

After this mess , Mr.

Parker will definitely end things with his side piece ! I wasnt so sure Hayden would be that compliant , and I was more curious about the change in Deborahs attitude towards me .

Just because of this ! But Grandma never really liked me before … Deborah might be stern , but of course , she likes you .

She often tells me to have the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes , Rita said with a smile .

Some folks just werent good at wearing their hearts on their sleeves , even their caring was on the down low .

Is that so ! I was somewhat surprised , recalling that indeed , my favorite dishes had been showing up at meals lately .

It turned out that it Deborahs s request .

Dont worry .

Mr.

Parker will figure this out eventually , Rita said , continuing to comfort me .

This time .

I didnt say anything more , and I just stared blankly at the petals on the water .

was all ar I couldnt care less what Hayden thought , but since Joanna and Sophia had set their sights on the cruise ship , there was no way I was going to let them have it After my bath , I went to the study to find Haylen wearing a bathrobe .

As I approached the door , I could hear him on the phone , saying , Yeah , I explain to Grandma .

Dont worry His soft , coaxing tone was usually just for Joanna , and Id moved past the heartbreak and the bitterness in my heart to a place of numbness now .

Impatiently , 1 knocked on the door , not really wanting to hear him being lovey dovey with another woman .

Hayden looked up at me , his eyes as unfathomable as an abyss .

Then he quickly wrapped up his call .

I walked in and got straight to the paint , saying curtly , I want the cruise ship The moment I said it , I was hit with memories of how Hayden used to be so icy with me , barely saying a word like talking was too much effort .

Now , it looks like our roles were reversed .

Haydens eyebrows furrowed with a hint of coldness seeping through , as he said , If you felt this way , why act so high and mighty before ? He mocked me without a trace of mercy .

Indeed .

I rejected Xander so bluntly yesterday , and here I was , a day later , asking for the cruise ship .

It did look a bit hypocritical .

But I didnt care what he thought of me anymore , and I mimicked his sarcasm .

TF1 wait any longer , you might just use the cruise ship to make other women happy Haydens expression clouded over , and the mood in the study took a dive .

Whyd you send Joanna away ? he demanded .

I could tell he was on Joannas side , and I wasnt about to get into it Grandma kicked them out , and you heard her reasons .

Im on thin ice myself .

Hayden cut me off with irritation in his voice , as he handed me the documents about the cruise ship .

He was being direct , so I took the files without a second thought .

As I turned to leave , he stopped me with a warning tone , With this , you know whats expected .

He wanted me to talk Jamie out of the lawsuit .

I got the message , but I faced Hayden again .

What if Jamie refuses to budge ! I was genuinely curious about how Hayden would handle it when that happened .

A lot of dark scenarios flashed through my mind .

However , Hayden replied with confidence .

He wont .

I was surprised .

Youre that sure ? Id seen Jamie and Nevin at each others throats .

I wondered how Hayden could be so confident about it .

Hayden leaned back , his piercing gaze seeming to read my thoughts .

You persuaded him once , which means he doesnt want to clash with the Parker family .

He has vulnerabilities ? People with vulnerabilities were easy to manipulate , and I couldnt dispute that , Jamie had his own business and a girlfriend on her way back ; he had too much to lose .

Did you see this coming ? I probed , still skeptical Hayden sidestepped the question .

You got plans for tomorrow night I raised an eyebrow .

Why do you a Theres a dinner party , and youre my plus one , Hayden said flatly .

I looked at him , baffled .

Why would you want me there ? Take Joanna with you ! Shed be all over that , and I planned to have dinner with Marlon because wed been putting off a collaboration .

Haydens eyes hardened as he stared me down .

Yvonne , how long are you going to keep this up ! Im not causing a scene .

Im doing you a favor ! Take her .

Ive got other plans ! I retorted .

Then I walked out with a flourish .

Bussiness was more important than Hayden .

The man who once meant everything to me had silently faded into the background That night , Hayden stayed out of the bedroom , and I was just fine with that .

I went over the Jackson Groups revenue reports for the past six months .

Then I hit the hay when I got drowsy .

Half asleep .

I felt a chill and reached for the blanket .

I usually didnt loss and turn , but maybe I had kicked the blanket off .

I felt around and found nothing , but then my hand touched something warm.

Curious , I moved closer .

So warm .

I mumbled , hugging the warm object tightly , not wanting to let go .
