Ex-Wife Moving Wife Giving Birth? Congratulations, You’re Single Now novel Chapter 38

Chapter 1

At the company dinner, my fiancé’s little assistant Olivia picked up a buffalo wing, took a deliberate bite right in front of everyone, then casually dropped it onto Kai’s plate.

He didn’t even flinch–just picked it up and kept eating.

That night, I didn’t even wait for him to speak.

“The engagement’s off. Consider yourself officially dumped.”

He rubbed his temples, looking annoyed: “Seriously? Over a damn chicken wing?”

“The one still glistening with her saliva,” I shot back.

“Jesus Christ, Lia, no wonder they call you a jealous witch–you freak out over the tiniest things!”

“Whatever. You wanna call it off? FINE by me. Just don’t come crawling back to me later!”

He was dead certain I was too in love to actually walk away.

Little did he know, my love had already died–every time he flirted with that dumb assistant just buried it deeper.

Go enjoy your chicken wings, you CHEAP bastard!

We’re fucking DONE!

That same day, I told my parents I wanted to call off the engagement.

Mom and Dad were surprised but respected my decision.

After that, Kai went into full cold–war mode with me.

Phone number blocked, social media deleted, gaming friends removed…

This was his go–to move every time we fought.

He was confident I couldn’t live without him, that I’d come crawling back like always.

But this time, I stared at that “Add Friend” button and for once, didn’t press it.

A week later, the company group chat lit up with an announcement:

“Today is CEO Reynolds’s birthday. He’s treating everyone. Mandatory attendance, no sick days allowed.”

I didn’t want to make things awkward for my coworkers, so I went.

Chapter 1

The moment I walked into the private dining room, there was Kat at the head table with Olivia whispering in his ear.

Their heads were so close their lips were practically touching, completely shutting out everyone else in the room.

A second later, they both burst out laughing at their little inside joke.

I couldn’t watch anymore. Found a corner table and sat down.

Everyone started giving Kai their birthday gifts. I ignored the whole show and focused on my wine.

Then a shadow fell over me. I looked up

Kai’s stupidly perfect face staring down at me.

Same old irritated expression I knew so well.

“Lia, where’s my present?”

In the past, I would’ve started planning for Kai’s birthday months in advance.

The most memorable one took me over six months–I hand–built a scale replica of the flying house from “Up,” his favorite

Pixar movie.

When those balloons lifted off, he said we’d be like Carl and Ellie, together till we were old and gray.

I believed every word. Didn’t realize his promises wouldn’t even last three years.

Facing his demanding stare, I just shrugged: “I forgot.”

My attitude clearly pissed him off. He completely lost it.

“Lia, are you done with this tantrum yet?”

“You’re seriously gonna drag this out for a whole week over something so stupid?”

I noticed Olivia’s lipstick smeared on the corner of his mouth and felt sick to my stomach.

“I’m not throwing a tantrum. I meant what I said about calling off the engagement.”

Kai’s expression froze for a split second, but the moment Olivia grabbed his hand, he was back to his arrogant self.

“Oh Lia, maybe you’re being just a bit unreasonable? I was just trying not to waste food–it’s environmentally conscious. But if my presence bothers you so much, I can just grab some leftovers from the break room next time.”

Olivia’s fake innocent act immediately made Kai go into white knight mode.

“Oh Liv, don’t say that. You deserve the best of everything in this world. Lia’s the one who shouldn’t be at this party. Who does she think she is? Everyone has to cater to her drama?”

“Kai, don’t say that! Lia might be a bit dramatic, but she’s still your fiancée. You should sweet talk her when needed. I really don’t want you two fighting over me.”

“Sweet talk? If my parents weren’t begging me to go through with this merger marriage, I wouldn’t even be with her. Getting

pissed off over every little thing–it’s fucking exhausting.”

Olivia walked over and patted my back with fake concern.

“Sweetie, girl to girl? You’re being kind of extra right now. Poor Kat has been losing sleep over your drama.I think you two aren’t compatible personality–wise, but you’re still engaged for business reasons. Maybe you should compromise a bit?”

I slapped her hand away and smiled coldly.

“Olivia, you know what I really admire about you?”

“How you’re such a fucking disaster at everything but excel at being a homewrecking bitch.”

Her smug mask slipped instantly.

Kai went nuclear.

“Lia, who gave you the fucking right to attack Olivia like that?”

“Attack? She’s got the same jewelry you bought me and flaunts it around the office. She spreads gossip about our fights in the break room. And how the fuck does she know about that birthmark on your ass?”

“ENOUGH.”

SLAP.

Kai backhanded me right there in front of the entire executive team.

My ears started ringing and everything went fuzzy.

But I could still clearly see every face in that room–some pitying,

some disgusted, all of them staring at me like I was pathetic.
