Chasing Back My Ex-wife

Chapter 180

When he thought of how the two children would grow up to be as cold-blooded and overbearing as Arthur, Lucy felt a chill run down his spine.

The maid knocked on the door and came in. "Young Madam, this is the bird's nest that the old master asked me to cook for you to nourish your body. The old master also said that on New Year's Eve tonight, the young master of Mihn will accompany him to keep watch on his New Year's Eve, so you don't have to wait any longer."

After that, she put down the bird's nest soup and left respectfully.

Lucy looked at the bird's nest soup and did not have any appetite. However, he was afraid that the servant would tell the old man that she did not drink it, which would affect the old man's impression of her, so he forced himself to drink a bowl of bird's nest soup.

Gulp—

Gulp—

Lucy took out his phone and found that it was a phone call from his Maddox.

"Maddox, I'm Lucy. I have Kylah's phone with me. If you want to look for her, I'll send you my uncle and aunt's phone numbers." She answered the phone and said a lot.

"No, I'm looking for you." Maddox's voice sounded a little tired. "Is it convenient for the video?"

Lucy swept his eyes over the room and sized up his clothes. After making sure that there wasn't

anything wrong with them, he replied with a 'hmm'. When he sat alone on New Year's Eve, thinking about all these troublesome matters would only make him even more annoyed.

The most important thing was that she wanted to apologize to him solemnly.

She knew that an apology was useless, but she needed an apology from her Maddox.

Maddox hung up the phone and changed it to a video call. The moment she picked up the call, he stared at her for a long time without saying anything.

"Is there something on my face?" Lucy walked over to the mirror and gave it a look. He noticed that there wasn't anything dirty on his face.

Maddox shook his head, his eyes full of love. "No, it's just that you're too beautiful. You're more beautiful than usual."

Lucy didn't dislike him, but he didn't want him to say anything that would reveal his love. She didn't know what to do.

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to praise you." Maddox pretended to be indifferent and asked, "How are you now? Did Mr. Johnson... make things difficult for you?"

"I'm fine. My Maddox doesn't look very well. Is there too much work in Knicks?" The Maddox was a graduate student from a world-famous university, but he was implicated by her and went to a place like Knicks where even ordinary people were unwilling to go to work...

Maddox paused for a moment before he said, "It's quite easy to work, but it's a little unaccustomed to the climate."

He was worried about her and didn't sleep well, but he couldn't tell her.

"Remember to take good care of yourself..." Before Lucy could finish her words, her phone was snatched away.

A storm was brewing on Arthur's face. He hung up the phone and threw it on the wall.

There were three cracks on the phone screen. When it fell to the ground, the screen was already black.

"Arthur, what are you doing?" Lucy roared and squatted on the ground to fiddle with his phone. However, no matter how he pressed it, the screen was black.

Arthur held her waist with both hands, threw her on the bed, and then pressed her on the bed. He raised her hands above her head and tore the dress, which had been torn for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Even if her heart was with someone else, her body could only belong to him!

A chill ran down Lucy's body, revealing large amounts of his white skin.

"What's wrong with you?" A sense of shame and anger gradually swelled in her heart, almost solidifying into substance and rushing out of her body!

Arthur violently tore off her dress and threw it on the ground. He sneered and said, "It's lonely to not

see your lover during the Spring Festival."

Thinking of the tenderness and smile she had when she was talking to Maddox, he felt that he was about to be driven crazy!

"Arthur!" Lucy kicked him forcefully, his face full of anger. "Don't touch me!"

She was pregnant, and she thought he was dirty. She would never sleep with him!

"Why are you pretending to be pure when you've been with so many men?"

She was his, and she could only be his!

It hurts!

This sentence made Lucy's heart ache. She forcefully pushed him away and slapped him in the face. "I don't want you to touch it. Is that okay?"

The tip of her nose was a little sore, and there seemed to be something coming out of her eyes. She tried her best to open her eyes wide to prevent the liquid from flowing out.

The moment he saw the tears in her eyes, a part of Arthur's chest caved in, and his heart ached.

He clenched his fists and turned to leave the room.

The moment the door closed, the tears in Lucy's eyes flowed down and landed on the bed. Soon, a large portion of it got wet.

She looked at the torn dress on the ground in a daze. She held her knees with both hands and shrank them into a small ball. Only in this way could she feel a sense of security.

The sound of firecrackers continued. The fireworks were even denser and more beautiful than before. However, this kind of lively scene had nothing to do with Lucy. She could only hide on the bed alone and could not even see her own son.

...

The Pate family.

After Maddox hung up the phone for about an hour, he was called to the main hall of the Pate family's old house.

There were already more than a dozen elders sitting in the hall, and more than 20 of Maddox's peers were standing behind them. On the other hand, Granny Gu was sitting at the head of the table with an ugly look on her face.

Different from the hustle and bustle of other places, the hall was solemn.

Seeing him come in, everyone's eyes fell on him, with disappointment, disbelief, anger, and resentment. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Mr. Pate stood up and pointed at him, shouting, "Kneel down!"

His son had won glory for him since he was a child, but recently, he had embarrassed him. Now, the

Pate family was almost lost!

"Dad, what happened?" Maddox felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. It used to be very lively on New Year's Eve.

Someone reminded him in a low voice, "Don't ask any more questions, cousin. Kneel down quickly."

Maddox glanced around and caught the elders' disappointed and angry expressions in his eyes. He knelt on the ground. The elders rarely looked at him like that. This incident should have something to do with Mr. Johnson.

"Let me ask you." Granny Gu took a deep breath and asked with difficulty, "Is your relationship with the Young Madam of the Johnson family broken?"

Everyone stared at Maddox, waiting for him to answer, hoping that he would stop.

"... I'm sorry, grandma." Maddox knew that it was not good for him to say that, but he had to say that.

Mrs. Pate stood up and pointed at him, her eyes full of disbelief and a trace of expectation. "Let me ask you again, do you... do you have an improper relationship with the Young Madam of the Johnson family?"

At the end of her words, her voice was trembling. Her grandson didn't seem to be unclear. How could he have anything to do with the Young Madam of the Johnson family?

Mr. Pate anxiously reminded him, "Let's think about it first!"

Even an ordinary family couldn't afford to lose face, let alone a noble family like his!

"What's more, that's the Johnson family. If they offend the Johnson family, will they still have a chance to live?"

"Yes." Maddox did not hesitate at all. Every word he said would reach Mr. Johnson's ears. He could not let Mr. Johnson know that those photos were fake.
