Chapter 109 She Was A Haunting Ghost
“Hey, I have an incoming call. I’m going to answer it now. Have some intright!” jean hastily said and hung u
What did I have for fun? Unless someone told me Roman had a change of heart and decided to dump Ashley or van had successfully won Ashley over. Then, I can laugh about it.
After idly scrolling my phone for a while, I felt the age to sleep–the ringtone the next second almost gave me a heart attack
The name “Rowan” on the screen pre me a headache.
“Hello,” answered, my mice sleepy and tired.
“Why did you suddenly leave the count?” Rowan’s voice carried a restrained amper.
Who did Jean accidentally sell it to? How did it reach Rowan’s ear so quickly?”
Epaused. “I just felt like leaving the country. Is there a problem?”
“Don’t you think you should have told me? Don’t forget, we’re still married” Rowan almost scotted in anger
“You didn’t want to sign the divorce paper, so I decided to leave the country. Why are you bringing it up? You should be taking care of Ashley. Her hand is disabled, so you should be there for her Mockery laced thickly in my lane.
Rowan fell sent briefly, but his voice returned to normal. “If this is to divorce me, that can be done Send a new copy of the divorce papers, and I will sign them.
www.sightly startled “Really?”
“Yes” Then, Rowan hung up the phone.
Thadn’t reened my senses completely. Previously, Rowan had agreed to get a dhorce with me. However, he delayed it for so long, and had yet to receive word about it
Would he lie to me the second ce?
It didn’t matter, it was worth a shot
When I went to work the next day, I made a copy of the template of the divorce papers saved previously. Then, I signed them and mailed them via express mail.
Then, all I had to do was wait
Rowan never looked for me again. I also refrained from asking the received the papers.
I still chose to love the marriage with nothing and didn’t want a single penny from him only wanted my freedom.
After half a month, I received an express delivery from home. A divorce certificate was in there, quietly displayed in front of me.
1 gently lifted the certificate to look at it. I probably took the colored photo on the certificate during my internship after my graduation, I was clueless about how Rowan found it and how he handled the procedures alone.
it didn’t matter, it was enough as long as I got what I wanted.
I told my parents, Jean, and my friends about it. However, I didn’t wait to tell anyone else. It was enough to keep it to myr
Rowan could do what he pleased. He could pathcly announce it or keep a low profile like me. However, matter he low of a profile he kept, he would tell Ivan and the rest, his parents, and Ashley
His business had nothing to do with me anymore.
“Bey, Nat and I had decided to come to you to celebrate your newfound redom. You can buy us a meal!” Jean called me and said hopply
“Are you girls coming ever” I was surprised.
“Yes, we’re at the airport now Livis too busy, in she can’t come. It’s just me and Nat.” Jean expressed her regret, then said, “Quick, book us a nice restaurant. Wait for us!” Then, she hung u
jean and the gang came to look for while bately left for a month. I was surprised and delighted quickly booked a restaurant and was prepared to have dinner with them
Benight
Coincidentally, it was Saturday. That
work the first half of the day but was oft in the afternoon and Sunday I could bring pean and Natalie around.
I drove to a bedding store and quickly bought a blanket. The place I was staying in had two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a tollet. However, the guest bedroom did not have bedspread. I couldn’t own and Natalie sleep on the floor
After buying four sets, I left them with the shop to wash and dry. Then, I went to the supermarket to get some daily necessities, fruits, and snacks.
However, my good mood completely dissipated upon hearing Ashley’s voice
“Ivory”
Ashley wore a white sweater
sweater and black jeans. Her hair was tied to the back, and she looked gentle
Avery Watson was beside her, pushing a cart filled with subes of toothpaste, toothbrushes, face cleansers, and the like. The cart’s most eye–catching lems were the men’s underwear bows.
I retracted my pace and looked at Ashleyindifferently. “What a coincidence. Wayar you here?”
We were not in Alton City, we were overseas. There was a slim chance of meeting so coincidentally.
“I’m here to study” A complex look appeared in Ashley’s eyes. She asked, “Why are you here?!
“Oh, I’m here for work I didn’t want to waste my time talking to Ashley anne. “I’m done with my shopping. I’ll take my leave.”
ignored Ashley’s sudden pale face and pushed mycart to the payment counter.
figured she came here to study with Rowan’s help. Otherwise, it would have been hard for Ashley to get her approval to come here, Hus, her family could to the exorbitant ixpenditure overseas.
Was Rowan here? Were the boxes of men’s underwear him?
Chapter 109 She Was A Haunting Ghost
I stood in the line at the payment counter, lamenting that they had finally lived the everyday life of an average couple.
Ashley probably told her parents that Rowan and I were divorced. Plus, she almost died in an accident, so Ella and Jonah couldn’t do anything about it.
라고
After leaving the supermarket, I went to the beckling store, collected my four sets of bedspreads, and went home. I tried my best to make the bed in the guest room. Then, I drove to the airport and waited for Jean and Natalle.
“vy!”
Jean’s figure appeared. Her loud voice sounded friendly and familiar. She wore black for with blue skinny jeans, loolding hot and seductive as always.
Natalie was carrying a cream–white Birkin Cargo bag and dragging a Horizon trolley suitcase of the same series. She followed behind and happily rushed to me to greet me, “hy!”
“Nar, I can see the improvement in your quality of life after breaking up with laden,” I teased Natalie.
“This is my newfound youth! I can say the same for you. Your face is glowing. Natale threw the luggage in the trunk and sat in the passenger’s seat Jean sat in the back.
I laughed as I drove to the restaurant. “Newfound youth, my ass! Didn’t you say you no longer want to date or marry?”
Natalie giggled. “Yes, I did think so, but life is so unpredictable. I can’t be so serious with my words.”
Life was indeed unpredictable. I had left the country, yet bumped into Ashley. I was here for work while she was here for her studies
Could I be the one for her?”
I told Jean and Natalie what happened at the supermarket jean almost sprung up from the back seat. “What? Damm, is she a freaking ghost? Why is she everywhere haunting you?
Chapter to Pregnant
“Rowan might be here,” I said,
jean was seething with anger. She sneered and spar, “of counsel otherwise, why did she get into a car accident in the first place? she just wanted to be with Rowan.
“Now, you and Rowan have divorced. She is terrified of becoming the town’s gossip, so she fled the country for her studies, securing herself with finances and avoiding the gossip
“I can’t believe Rowan is here accompanying her. This is true love,” Natale sighed.
He was busy with work every day and had so many things to manage. Yet, hecould squeeze time to accompany Ashley overseas for her studies. He was a man who was willing to give his money, effort, and time.
Jean spet, “My ass. She could choose anywhere in the world, but she chose here. Did she hire someone to look to you? She knew you were in Stormland and purposely came to
mess with you!
I was skeptical of Jean’s idea, but I didn’t think Ashley could pull off
Stormland was small, but it would be challenging to figure out my whereabouts here and stage a coincidental bump–in
I could still believe it Rowan found out my whereabouts, but he and I were divorced. Why would he look into?
Amid the convasation, the three of us had arrived at the restaurant.
Looking at how livid Jean was, I quickly comforted her. “Don’t be angry anymore. Let’s get something to eat
Jean agreed, but she barely ate anything on the contrary, she was glued to her phone and tapping away
After a while, she anguly said to me, it was Rowan’s idea for Ashley to come here for her studies!!
“Huh?” I was dumbfounded by what she said as I was enjoying my meal. “Why?”
“How would I know?” Jean’s eyes were burning with rage. “Ashley initially wanted to study in Frevia. Rowan intervened and brought her here. Did he do this on purpose to mess. with you?!
Rowan had alousy personality and temper but wouldn’t stop this low to mess with i me. After all, Ashley was the apple of his eye
Then, I suddenly understood the look on Ashley’s face when I told her in the spermarket that I was working in Stocnland
Sheraust have assumed Rowan wanted her to come here for her sales because of me.
“Jean, who did you ask about it?” Natalie asked curiously.
“A–A friend. I have a lot of frands. Don’t you know that? pean stutered.
Of the few of us, she had the most friends she met from partying and having fun.
I took some food for her. “Thank you for your hard work, our in–house intelligence. Have some food.
Jean took the food and placed it on her plate. However, she spat it out the next second and made a etching sound
Metale and exchanged glances. What was going on? Was the food that disgusting?
“Why does the food in the restaurant taste so weird?pean wiped the comer of her mouth with her napkin, her face looking disgusted.
“The food tastes amazing is something wrong with your stomach? Tacked.
Jean rubbed her stomach. “I think so. Nothing late since the New Year casted good. I stopped drinking too. I only liked eating our and sweet fruits
Beside her, Natalie widened her eyes, “Shit! Don’t tell me you’re pregnant, Jean! Why do your symptoms sound so similar to when I was pregnant?
I was shocked too and looked at Jean in disbelief. “Jean, have you been getting your period on time?”
Unlike me, Jean was physically fit. Even if she was swimming in a pool of alcohol, she had good health. Her period came more on time than she had been paying her credit card
Jeam slumped, her eyes guilty, “It can’t be, I never fooled around with anyone 1 only had alcohol with them.”
“Really?” I didn’t believe her..
There was one person! Jean’s heart tightened as her voice grew louder. “It could only be him if there is. I will ensure he no longer can celebrate Father’s Day if he dates to avoid taking responsibility for thk”
Malabe and I were dumblunded “Responsibility?”
Was she planning to marry that man if she was really pregnant?
This idea wasn’t something Jean would be okay with
Before we could regain our senses, jean had started a video call. The call was answered quickly. When I saw the man’s face, immediately snapped back to reality, making sense of why Jean had so much information about Rowan and Ashley lately.
Chester was the “spy” who told her.
“I might be pregnant. You can decide what to do with the banny, Precious!” Jean dropped the bomb immediately
Chester fell to an endless state of silence.
I moved closer. His face was riddled with a look of shock, lost, and helplessness with a hint of blankness.
“Did you get rested?” He weakly said after a long time.
My period is one accurate than the clock in your home. I haven’t gotten it for almost two months. I can’t keep food
d down and feel like puking. If I’m not pregnant, I musth
Jean bere me boritative and said, “home and tell your parents. If they despise me being loose, I’ll print your check–in records and hand a copy to every member of your family!”
