Ex Wife's Collapse After Divorce novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Back inside, Ethan closed the door and exhaled.

The tension drained out of his shoulders like water. He walked back to the couch, dropped onto it, and tipped his head back against the cushion. His eyes closed.

Quiet. Finally.

He’d barely settled for ten minutes when three knocks came at the door again.

His eyes snapped open. His jaw tightened.

What now?

He stood slowly, muscles coiling with instinctive wariness. If Vivian had come back-

He pulled the door open.

It wasn’t Vivian. Eleanor Whitmore stood in the hallway.

Ethan blinked.

His former mother-in-law looked the same as he remembered-warm eyes, soft face, the kind of woman who always seemed slightly out of place in the Lockwood household’s sharp edges.

“Ethan.” She breathed his name like a relief.

His guard dropped instantly.

“Eleanor?” Genuine surprise broke through his composure. “What are you doing here?”

She stepped forward, her gaze scanning his face, lingering on the bruise along his cheekbone, the small cut near his jaw.

“Vivian told me Damian sent people to beat you,” she said, her voice tight. “I had to come see for myself. How badly are you hurt?”
