Get lost Ex-husband

Derek sounded gentle as always, yet I could tell that he was not happy. "Are you occupied today? Why didn't you cook for me?"

I remained silent, not revealing the fact that I didn't have the time because I went to get an abortion.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Sensing my silence, Derek was a bit annoyed. "It was our anniversary yesterday. I bought you a gift."

That made me curious.

"A ring."

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something. "I might have run into a thief. Don't worry. I'll buy you another one."

I smiled bitterly.

I saw a ring on Vivian's hand in the photo from yesterday.

It seemed that he needed his ex-girlfriend to try everything on, including the anniversary gift for me. "That won't be necessary. I you, didn't prepare any gift for

either."

Derek hurried to ask, "Georgina, are you mad? I did buy you a gift."

"I know." I added, "I gotta go if you have nothing else to say. I'm

Since that day, Derek and I almost didn't talk to each other.

A few days later, Derek's mom Lucy invited me to dinner at home. That was rare.

Lucy always looked down upon me. To her, Vivian was her only daughter-in-law.

Yet I didn't wanna be rude to her. Thus, I accepted her invitation.

When I arrived, I saw Derek's buddies at home, preparing dinner together. The whole place fell in silence when they saw me.

I heard someone mumble, "What is she doing here? She won't let Derek drink with us."

I ignored that. In

Shortly later, Derek and Vivian arrived.

I noticed that Vivian no longer had the ring on her hand. She went straight to the kitchen as if it was her place and talked to Lucy.

Derek walked over to me and took out a diamond ring from his pocket. "I bought you a new one. I knew he was lying.

Derek didn't notice how I felt at that moment. He pulled my hand over and put the ring on my finger.

I felt sick as I stared at the ring.

Vivian had worn it before.

I wondered how many more lies Derek was gonna tell me before he finally told me some truths.

"Vivian! Make yourself at home. Georgina will handle everything. Just relax and enjoy your stay.." In the kitchen, Lucy was staring at Vivian lovingly while Vivian holding her arm as if she were Lucy's daughter. "Lucy, I miss you. It's been a while."

"Why didn't you visit me more often? You don't care about Derek and me, do you?" Lucy glanced at me as she spoke, and she then led Vivian over.

Ome, Georgina. I haven't introduced you to my goddaughter,

She's like a sister to Derek. You don't have to worry about the two of them. If they hang out, you don't have to call Derek. You know that Derek is a man of solid integrity."

Standing in front of me, Lucy talked as if she was giving me an order.

"Exactly, Georgina. You're way too strict with Derek. We're all men of integrity. We won't involve Derek in anything indecent."

"Besides, since we're a start-up, we have tons of businesses to handle. It's more than normal. I don't think arriving home late is problem, right? Not to mention that Vivian even ended up in the hospital because of drinking too much at a business dinner. We all make sacrifices!"

"If they wanted to be together, they would have married each other a long time ago."

Derek's friends talked to me with smiles.

The one who spoke louder was Victor Lopez. He was Derek's closest buddy, and the greatest supporter of Derek and Vivian.

He never liked me. When he heard Lucy scolding me, he was more than happy to take the chance to insult me.

I asked with a frown, "What start-up? What are you doing?"

I thought Derek was doing well in his office.

Did he establish his own business?

Victor hurried to shut up when he realized that he had spilled the secret.

The whole dinner was ruined. Everyone remained silent because of what had happened just now.

After dinner, it started to rain.

Derek came over to me cautiously.

"Georgina, I can't let Vivian go home alone. It's not safe. Why don't you stay here a bit longer? I'll go back to pick you up after I send her home."

I nodded.

Looking at me, Derek tried to say something, yet in the end, he did nothing but squeeze my hand. He then left with Vivian.

I watched as the two of them left. I then called a taxi for myself, despite the fact that Lucy tried to stop me.

I must look terrible when the rain wet my whole body..

Derek rushed back and held me in his arms. "I'm sorry, Georgina. You've suffered.

"After all, Vivian has a kid. Since invited her over, I would have to take care of her.

"Why didn't you wait for me at Mom's place?"

I could tell that Derek was complaining.

"Are you the only one who can give her a ride?" Suddenly, I asked him, sincerely.

"What?" Derek wasn't expecting this.

"All four of you drove today. Are you the only one who can give her a ride?" Derek pursed his lips as his confusion eyes turned into irritation..

I stopped his words. "You sent her home because you waned to."

Derek looked frustrated. He sighed, "Georgina, are you jealous? I only see her as a little sister.

"She has to live on her own now after getting divorced, not to mention that she has a kid to raise. We grew up together and that's why I can't let her suffer....... Chapter 3
