My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 140

In the face of Jaxon’s provocation, Vincent might look calm on the surface, but actually, his feelings

were turbulent.

He twirled a few rounds with Isabella but kept his gaze on the seemingly amicable couple across from

him.

Someone whispered, “I didn’t expect Ms. Salter and Mr. Nightingale to look so good together.”

Vincent caught every word they said.

Instantly, his mood darkened. He thought, ‘How short-sighted these people are. Can’t they see I’m the

best match for Olivia?’

He etched their faces and names into his memory, making sure they were at the top of his list the next

time any dirty work came up.

At that time, they were competing with their presence and charisma.

He pulled Isabella, drawing closer to Jaxon. Then, he demanded, “Let’s change partners.”

After a few twirls, he pushed Isabella toward Jaxon.

His actions were really dangerous and domineering.

Even though he didn’t want to give in to Vincent’s demand, Jaxon had no choice but to yield with

everyone looking at them.

He let go of Olivia, handing her over to Vincent and catching Isabella steadfastly.

At that moment, everyone realized that Olivia was the woman Vincent fancied.

Isabella’s temper sp iked again. Since she couldn’t dance with Vincent, she would rather not dance.

Thus, she left the dance floor.

Since it was rare for the employees to go on an outing, their focus was having a good

time.

They had prepared several agendas for the team-building event and specially designed

several games.

Among them was truth or dare.

Everyone had to participate. The questioner would randomly choose a punishment for the loser.

After everyone joined, the atmosphere began to heat up.

When it was Isabella’s turn to ask questions, her gaze honed in on Vincent.

Isabella asked him a question, but Vincent didn’t answer.

Isabella nearly fainted from excitement because she had chosen a sweet punishment for him.

Vincent’s punishment was receiving a kiss from the questioner.

Exhilaration rushed through everyone as they watched with anticipation.

Vincent scanned the faces surrounding him and noted they were all cheering with glee.

In some eyes, Isabella and Vincent were indeed a good match.

The story of the princess confessing her love to the prince and asking for a kiss was very exciting.

It might be the climax of the whole event.

Olivia figured the crowd had lost their mind as cheers and applause echoed around her.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

Olivia felt like she had attended the wrong event. The atmosphere felt more like a wedding.

Unaffected by the cheers, Vincent merely smiled, saying nothing, but his gaze was glued

to Olivia.

Just as Isabella puckered her lips and inched closer to Vincent’s lips, Olivia felt her palms sweat, and

restlessness washed over her.

Suddenly, she put her phone to her ear, pretending to answer a call. “All right, I’ll send it to you right

away,” she said loudly.



Then, she excused herself, saying she had to return to her room to deal with an urgent

task.

Soon after, she fled the scene quickly.

Actually, she didn’t go back to her room. Instead, she ran to a quiet corner.

C

Dissatisfied with her reaction earlier, she muttered to herself, “Oh, Olivia, why are you nervous? It’s not

like she’s kissing your man.”

After she left, Vincent also found an excuse to leave.

Once again, Isabella became the laughingstock, teased for not grasping onto her crush despite being

within reach.

Jaxon watched Olivia and Vincent leave.

Naturally, he knew that Vincent liked Olivia.

He observed Olivia earlier and could tell that she was nervous. She would habitually clench her fists

tightly, even embedding her fingernails into her palm.

Her habit didn’t lie.

He didn’t want to believe it, but he had to accept that Olivia had fallen in love with someone else.

In autumn, it was chilly at night at Casa Cloud Villa.

After talking to herself, Olivia looked up at the starry sky. Despite the quietness, her mind was abuzz.

The autumn breeze gusted. Feeling the chill, she couldn’t help but wrap her arms around herself.

Vincent spotted her.

He took off his coat, crossed the distance to Olivia, and placed it over her shoulder like a gentleman.



Olivia caught a whiff of the familiar scent and recognized it was Vincent.

She looked back and smiled at him.

Vincent hugged her from behind.

Olivia didn’t resist.

Finally, the day had come when she didn’t run away from him.

Vincent asked dotingly, “Not running away anymore?”

Olivia looked over her shoulder and smiled. “No, because I can’t escape.”

E

The two embraced each other under the moonlight with the crickets singing to them.

In the distance, an imposing man stood by a tree.

After Olivia left, Jaxon found the remaining activities boring, so he excused himself to walk around and

get some air.

Strolling around, he unconsciously arrived there.

The three of them truly were birds of a feather.

However, the scene happening in front of him upset him.

His woman was being held by his half-brother.

Jaxon’s eyes darkened as a storm brewed within them.

He wanted to run over and give Vincent a good beating.

He thought, ‘Why does everything I cherish get taken away by him? We both have the blood of the

Sullivan family coursing through our veins, but I can only wander around homeless, living a frugal life.

In the end, I lost the woman I love the most in this life because of my f ucking identity as an illegitimate

child. Now, the heavens are playing another joke on me. Turns out, my half-brother was the one who

stole my beloved.’

However, he held back his urges.

After

years of lying low, he forbade himself from making rash decisions.

He had to be careful with every decisión he made.

He would only feel better temporarily if he walked over to them at that moment and lost everything he

had schemed.

Olivia wouldn’t return to him just from him exchanging several punches with Vincent.

In the end, he left. He didn’t even know how he managed to drag himself away from the

scene.

The only thing that could provide solace for his worries was alcohol.

There was no shortage of alcohol at the team-building event.

Everyone was gone.

Jaxon found the place where Olivia was sitting and sat down.

He grabbed a bottle of spirit and poured it directly into his mouth.

He looked absolutely desolate.

He thought, “That’s right. My heart was broken again.”

D

He couldn’t remember how many days had passed since he had broken up with her before he had his

heart broken for the second time.

Isabella was also feeling dejected that day.

She came out for a stroll and saw Jaxon drinking.

It had evoked her own disappointment.



She sympathized with him.

Two heartbroken people shared their grief as they drank.
