My Cold Ex-Wife Refused to Move On novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 No More Hiding

Finished

It seemed like after that time Wendy had been drugged at home, she had deliberately distanced herself from Chase, even starting to sleep in separate rooms..

The grudges between the Quinn and Harrison families had begun with the previous generation, and now they had reached a point where they could never be resolved. Even without Wendy and Henry, the two families would have remained bitter enemies.

Since that was the case, Chase could only find a way to make Wendy feel at ease.

“Thank you for protecting me.” Chase said softly, almost like he was acting spoiled.

Wendy’s body stiffened. She instinctively felt Chase might have learned something. She looked at him suspiciously. “Who did you have dinner with tonight?”

“Waylon.”

She had figured.

Chase didn’t have many friends. That Blanc he’d met at the hospital in Townsville barely counted as a colleague. If there was anyone he could call a real friend, it was only Waylon.

A chime sounded from her computer. It was Sammy reminding her about the meeting. Chase let go of her, leaned down, and kissed the top of her head lightly. “I’ll go shower and change. I’ll make you some milk too,”

“Okay.”

The computer screen lit up. Sammy appeared in pajamas. Since it was an internal meeting, no one cared about appearances. Zynn and a young man çame online too–the man looked so much like Zynn he could have been her male version. Another

screen stayed dark–it was Fiona’s.

“Madam Wendy. I’m sorry about losing the target last time. I won’t let it happen again. I’ll stick to Shanelle like glue,” Dawn said after unmuting.

Wendy raised her hand to cut him off. “With Henry helping her, it’s easy to slip away from you. Stay sharp. Henry’s level has clearly gone up after all these years abroad.”

Zynn chuckled. “See? I told you. If you just call her ‘Wendy‘ instead of ‘Madam Wendy,‘ she immediately forgives you. She likes cute boys.”

Everyone laughed. Meetings like these weren’t formal, and they knew Wendy’s personality well enough to joke around.

Dawn stayed silent.

Sammy unmuted. “Shanelle’s moved to another hotel. Henry visits every three or four days. Shanelle’s still very cautious–she doesn’t use anything Henry brings and throws it all away.”

had to sneak out herself to throw things away.

Staving cautious is a good thing.”

As for Eric Hospital’s domestic headquarters, we haven’t found out the official name yet. Harrison family’s parents have been at headquarters these past two years. We haven’t heard anything about them visiting other companies. But there’s something to watch out for–Larry. I suspect he’s planning to move against Henry.”

Henry had just returned to the Harrison family, Larry’s position was already shaky, and he was desperate to get rid of Henry

“Then we’ll wait and see. Henry won’t go down without a fight.

Chase came in carrying the bird’s nest. The meeting wasn’t over yet. Suddenly, the silent Fiona finally unmuted.

Joy’s been hos these days, and I’ve been running meals back and forth. Now Waylon’s

calling me for help too. What am 1. some kind of clone? Can’t you people think about how tired I am Fiona started ranting the moment her mic came on.

Chase hesitated at the door, unsure if he should walk in.

Wendy spotted him, smiled, and waved him over, patting the seat beside her.

Everyone caught a glimpse of the man’s coat and immediately greeted him politely.

Chase wasn’t used to being treated like this and awkwardly greeted them back.

Wendy didn’t mind him being there at all. She casually spooned up some bird’s nest and ate while praising Chase’s cooking skills.

The others looked on enviously.

“Man, having a family really is different. Here we are working overtime and eating instant noodles, while she’s got bird’s nest made for her.” Zynn joked.

Chase didn’t really know Zynn. At the company, he usually only met the people from the secretary department.

As for the young man, he didn’t recognize him at all.

But Dawn immediately recognized Chase–the ex–husband Madam Wendy had caught at the airport.
