The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

Chapter 32: Into Its Original Place

They remained unmoving and eyes fixed on each other for a moment before he approached her and draped her his suit. He worriedly gazed down at her.

“You’ll get sick.”

Airina smiled at him with a shake of her head. It would have been blissful if they cared for each other like this when they were married. However, why did he get interested in her only after their divorce? Was her past self so unworthy of his love or he wasn’t into a submissive type of woman? Nonetheless the reason, it was still unfair.

She reluctantly clutched the suit and then let go of it.

“Why did you come here?”

Jackson pointed to a restaurant, “I was nearby”, and giggled, “I saw your car, so I had to step out to confirm.”

Airina eyed the restaurant and then her car. If she wasn’t mistaken, these were meters apart so how could he distinguish her car that easily? Is he a stalker of hers? She tucked her air behind her ear which got messed up due to the whistling breeze.

She chuckled, “That was at least between 100 meters or so. Do you have superpower abilities to discern that?”

Jackson smiled at her. He turned his gaze to the waves on the shore, their various sizes and noises. With a relieved breath, he responded to her. “They say if you like someone you’ll unconsciously get used or be accustomed or observe their movements. The way their eyes smiled along their mouth, when they frowned, the noises they made while they ate. Their favorite song, foods, and colors. Some small things could be the way they place their things on the cushion, the way they play their bullpens, or even the numbers or the color of their cars.”

Airina was fascinated. Right now, as though it was natural, he blurted an explanation she didn’t particularly need. They had never done this before.

She intertwined her hands, shaking her head. She faced him to which he imitated. She then rummaged something from her bag and smiled at him.

She urged him to take the white envelope with a lift of her chin. She spoke gleefully, “I was wondering why you were so clingy to me; I was also doubtful when you told me of your single status,” she watched as he hesitantly pulled out its contents, “Turned out you were having sentiments with the same woman.”

She folded her arms, noticing how his eyes turned mad and bewildered. He raised the pictures captured by who-knows-who and huffed.

“Did you have someone to tail me?”

She scoffed, “Hm, I don’t do such a thing. There were just people who wanted to protect me from the same heartache.”

The pictures were about Jackson and Nicole who seemed in the middle of their make-out. It was timely captured that one could see how their body was so close, where he had placed his hand as Nicole sat on his lap intimately. Nicole, on the contrary, wasn’t that recognizable in all the pictures. However, as she had been with her for the longest time, Airina was familiar to Nicole’s face structure.

Jackson was upset. Who would take pictures of him with Nicole unsensed?

Airina shrugged her shoulders at his frantic state right now. She nonchalantly handed his suit back to his hand.

“Mister Georgiñia, I may have loved for five years, but I wouldn’t agree to your infidelity, ever.”

“No, listen to me-”

“How typical. You want me to listen to you when you have never done that to me?”

“What?” he was dumbfounded.

“I told you to get out of my sight. Since I am in no way interested to be further involved with you.”

She turned around to leave him, but he followed her. The sand engraved their footsteps and the panic Jackson grabbed her by her wrist.

“You know these are fake.”

She snickered, “Fake? Do you think someone was that skilled to create a make-out session you’re having with her?”

“Airina, listen to me”, he raised his voice but was enough for her to hear. She temporarily stopped, looking back at him, “This must be way back when I hadn’t seen you again after our divorce.”

“So, you lied when you told me you two were over soon after our divorce.”

“Airina, that’s not what I meant.”

She pushed him away with her palm, “I don’t care about your dishonesty.”

He frowned, “Airina, this was-”

“And I don’t need your explanations. Jackson, we’re over. You’re nothing but a piece of junk discarded by me. So, either you go away, or I avoid you,” she narrowed her eyes coldly, “Go to hell with Nicole.”

As such, she rolled her eyes at him and went ahead. Jackson could only stare at them in disbelief and in anger, he tore the pictures and threw them in the trash bin.

“Dang it!”

Airina closed her eyes in satisfaction. She didn’t know Elisa could be that reliable in such an area. She momentarily forgot the fact that she would take her revenge and make sure Jackson was drained from the inside out – since they made her like this, they might as well pay for the consequences.

He wanted her? He might as well just kill himself. It was true that she wavered but now that she had realized her priority, she wouldn’t back down. She is not the pushover Airina anymore. She will take revenge on those pulling her down.

Airina lowered her head at the food served in front of her and grinned. She couldn’t help but chuckle at what her mother was doing. Wendy, her mother, called her over to her house two days later. Originally, she didn’t want to go afraid that she would trouble her. But because of Wendy’s persistence and persuasion, she gave in.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Wendy was a good cook, so Felix had always the chance to be her customer. Airina wouldn’t deny that she dearly missed homemade food made by her biological mother.

Felix, Wendy’s husband, placed two shrimp on top of Airina’s rice. He kindly presented a smile on his face, “It’s been a while since we’ve last seen you and yet you lost weight. Is something the matter?”

“No, how could there be?”

Wendy beamed at her. “Go on and try the shrimp.”

Airina happily nodded her head and began chewing. In an instant, her eyes sparkled with admiration and surprise. The last time she had tasted her cook, it was delicious, but it had improved over the course making it more delicious than it already was! Airina was on cloud nine, she was even stomping her food as an expression.

Wendy nodded at her husband, who silently laughed and started eating.

“Ma, I’m sorry for not bringing Evan.”

“No, no. I am the one sorry. I should have established other plans if I wanted to be close to him. You don’t need to get worried about anything, I will definitely reconcile with Evan,” she lightly nodded her head, “It will take time, but I am certain he’d melt, too.”

Airina couldn’t be happier. She had totally forgotten that if Linda and Nicole didn’t accept her, there was always her new family who was heartwarming and kind to her – the Halton family.

Airina shyly pursed her lips, “I will inform Evan about this. He might get envious if I do that, who knows?”

Felix smiled at her. “We’ll support you so just do what you have to do.”

Airina felt touched. This felt like how a family should feel like. It was heaven. She gritted her teeth, preventing her tears and trying not to be so sentimental. This is an official reunion with her new family. It was disappointing that Evan still refuses to be close with Wendy but as long as time helps them heal, everything will surely return to its original place.
