The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Famous Client

Lucy didn’t think that Kai would ever betray Landon. Men are like that. They’d trust and stay loyal to their best buddies, even to the point of abandoning their lovers. Only a few couples of men would risk friendship for a woman.

Kai probably didn’t expect her reply, as his expression looked like he had just been whiplashed. Given the nature of things, she betted that he didn’t know enough. Most especially, what screwed ups Landon did that ended their marriage in divorce.

But Lucy was too busy and tired to care whether he knew a thing or two.

Fortunately, the elevator’s timely stop with a crisp ’ding’ rang loudly, giving her a quick escape from Kai’s curiosity.

Stepping on the landing, Lucy turned to him and said as the door slid close, "Let’s hope we don’t ever see again."

I will pray to God tonight that I won’t see your mug ever again.

Naturally, she didn’t include Landon in her prayers. That would’ve been a waste of her efforts to plan her return and revenge carefully. Eventually, they had to meet. And it should be grand.

Kai glared at her, his intent obvious in his eyes. He could chase after her and drag her somewhere to take out the answers to his questions, but he didn’t do it.

Finally, ridding off the hound of her ex-husband, Lucy made her way to the hallway.

The door spread out sporadically, but evenly. Each wall had doors facing each other. Lucy stopped in front of the door indicated in her keycard and punched it into the sensor. Half a second later, a smooth ringtone sounded, and the door parted slightly.

Lucy walked in with a calm face and gracefully entered.

Inside, the room was bright and boasted ’expensive’ in every sense. From the carpet to the drapes to the furniture meticulously arranged in the wide living room, where two considerably sized bedrooms could be built there. Palace Hotel didn’t skimp out on spending their money on making these rooms, it seems.

Lucy found a single-seater sofa to perch on as she silently glanced around. The walls were painted blue with golden accents, resembling Victorian-era walls. The lamps adorning it and a familiar, huge old portrait hanging on the wall. It was one of the few pieces she had painted in the past.

However, the elegance in the room was overwhelmed by the clothes, packets of condoms, and other things strewn all over the floor.

After taking in her surroundings, Lucy kept to herself again and bowed her head to think. The sound of the shower from the bathroom faintly bounced on the walls.

If Kai were telling the truth, Landon would be in the same place as she was right now. Just the thought of seeing him face-to-face filled her with icy rage. Her shoulders tensed, her spine tingled, and her chest felt heavy.

If she had a choice, she would pack her things and never return. She never wanted to see Landon again.

But the thought of her deceased son being ripped out of her womb to save her life while the people who made her life miserable had a peaceful one made her rethink her indecision.

The bathroom door clicked open. A man walked out only in his bathrobe, a towel in his hand rubbing on his wet hair. He stood tall and lean; even without his usual business suit, he could make a woman swoon in no time.

"You’re here?" the man noticed her finally. The hand carelessly rubbing his hair dry dropped to his side.

He walked over with a languid gait.

Lucy glanced up and nodded. "I only had time to go out tonight."

A lie. She could meet him anytime, but she didn’t want to bother. Honestly, she didn’t want to even come close to him.

But she needed him for another reason. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
