Dear Ex Wife Please take me back novel Chapter 57

ATHENA

Alex: [ What are you doing?]

I stare at the message while I stuff another spoon of ice cream in the mouth. I've been staying home while I think of what to do about my white coat ceremony when I receive a text from a man who has never sent me a message before.

He's been there but physically speaking to me, never on the phone.

Me: [Eating Ice cream]

Alex: [Okay, we need to go somewhere?]

I frown as I type in a response.

Me: [Where? I'm eating ice cream.]

I know that might sound ridiculous to him, but I feel like I'll die if I don't quench this thirst.

No response.

Ten minutes later, I still get no reply, which makes me shrug as I continue watching my anime series.

The door opens, and Alex steps in.

He looks incredibly hot.

I mean, when does he ever look average. That blonde hair tussled from running his hands through it so much. His perfect suit with no line out of place.

He walks over to me, and I freeze.

Is he angry because of what I said? Now he's going to snap. Tears well, my eyes, and I feel emotional all of a sudden as he walks towards me.

He halts his steps, searching me before snapping out of his shock and rushing to my side,

“Athena, is something hurting?” He asks, his voice panicked.

I sniff and shake my head, making him halt his movements on my body.

“Then why are you crying?” He asks, and the tears run down even faster.

He lifts his thumb and wipes my tears before holding my chin to face him,

“Please tell me why you're crying so I can make you feel better.”

I sniff again, my blurred vision finding his greens. “Because you are upset with me.”

Alex blinks, his brows furrowing in confusion. “Upset with you?” His grip on my chin softens, and he tilts his head slightly, studying me. “Why would you think that?”

I sniff again, feeling utterly ridiculous, but the emotions keep crashing over me like waves I can’t control.

“Because I said I was eating ice cream, and you didn’t respond. Then you showed up looking all serious, and I thought… I thought you were mad."”

Alex stares at me for a long moment before exhaling a deep chuckle, his shoulders shaking slightly.

Alex rarely smiles, Much less laughs. So when I hear that sound, my heart jumps in excitement.

“You’re crying because of that?” he asks, amusement dancing in his green eyes.
