Madam, Your Ex-Husband Is On Call novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Regretting the Divorce

Anastasia tried to put on a cheerful facade and exchanged a few more words with Grace before leaving.

She walked out of the room and saw Christian leaning against the wall, his aura cold and his lips tightly pursed, his face clouded with gloom.

He had overheard the conversation inside the room.

Christian couldn't help but wonder if Anastasia's efforts to please Grace indicated that she still had feelings for him.

He started to believe Anastasia regretted the divorce and wanted to return to him.

Christian was in turmoil as he reflected on the past three years. He couldn't fathom how Anastasia could suddenly fall out of love with him after loving him for so long.

The idea that she might still have feelings for him gave him a sense of relief and comfort. It brought a glimmer of hope that maybe they could work things out.

As he watched Anastasia come out with a gentle and happy demeanor, his mixed emotions became even more evident. He seemed somewhat pleased and relieved but also filled with guilt.

Over the past three years, Christian acknowledged that he hadn't treated Anastasia as well as he should have.

However, he was now determined to make amends and be a better partner in the future.

He noticed that Anastasia left with nothing when they divorced, indicating that she still cared for him as a person and didn't want to be misunderstood as someone who married him for money.

This realization brought Christian a newfound sense of self-assurance.

"Anastasia, if you regret the divorce, there's still time to reconsider."

Without the identity of Mrs. Patterson, Anastasia would face many hardships outside.

Christian's gaze was sharp, his voice cold, yet he couldn't help but feel satisfaction.

He thought that he was being generous by offering her a way back.

But Anastasia's heart grew even colder as she found Christian's offer laughable.

She glanced at him, a hint of disdain in her eyes, and let out a light laugh before turning away and heading downstairs.

She had no desire to exchange useless words with him.

There was no way Anastasia regretted the divorce with Christian.

She couldn't pretend that all those unpleasant things hadn't happened and continue to be part of their ugly affairs. The very thought of it suffocated her.

When Anastasia left without saying a word, Christian's expression gloomed and stiffened slightly.

It felt like a piece was missing from his chest, leaving him empty and restless.

He couldn't express the mix of emotions swirling inside him. It was frustration, anxiety, and regret.

He loosened his collar and hurried downstairs, but Anastasia was already gone.

Lamia intercepted him, and her expression was furious and frustrated.

"This woman has no manners! We had no choice but to accept her when she took advantage of the situation and married into our family. We supported her for three years, yet this is how she repays us. She's been causing trouble online, bringing shame to the Patterson family. I think she needs to learn a lesson. Even after the divorce, she still needs to find a job. Notify the entertainment industry to black-list her. Let her experience hardship, and come begging to us. She needs to learn her place and know who's in charge!"

Christian frowned, his expression turning cold, and his deep eyes showed hints of hidden emotions. He felt a heaviness in his chest as he coolly adjusted his sleeves.

"Mom, you don't need to worry about the things outside. Just focus on entertaining the guests," Christian said coldly, and walked away directly.

Once outside, he called Brian.

"Have you found out where Anastasia is living?"

Christian had been trying to find Anastasia's address during this time, but all efforts had been in vain.

Anastasia had blocked Christian's contact entirely.

Was she deliberately avoiding him?

Brian hesitated before answering cautiously, "I'm sorry, sir, but there's been no information about Ms. Graves since she left."

Christian clenched his teeth, feeling a sharp twist in his heart as if someone had squeezed it tightly.

He felt extremely uncomfortable.

He refused to believe Anastasia could slip out of his grasp easily like that.

Three months later, Amarilla City hosted a charity gala organized by the entertainment giant, Starlight Entertainment.
