The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Move and run, Lucy!

When meeting the man who broke your heart and forced you to run away with your babies inside your womb again, what would you do?

This was a question she wanted an answer as soon as possible. Because this wasn’t what she expected.

Kai mentioned Landon earlier. But she assumed he had already left since Kai was heading out of the hotel.

So, then, why was Landon here?

Lucy couldn’t tell if this was her imagination playing in front of her because she was thinking of him.

But she knew if this was all real, she’d be in big trouble.

Landon had been obsessively looking for her. And now that she was in front of him, she didn’t know what he would do.

Lucy didn’t notice her body was tense. Time seemed to still between the two of them.

And all the memories they shared and spent together poured out like glass shards scattered all over the space.

She wanted to move. Maybe she could run and disappear like she did at the café, but something was happening to her body. It felt so heavy, like lead was injected into her legs, heavy and unmoving.

Move!

Move and run, Lucy!

Her subconscious screamed for her to run. Yet she resisted the urge.

No, she can’t do it.

If she ran now, it’d become a habit. And Lucy didn’t want to feel the same instinct of fleeing whenever she saw him.

She came back to make everybody pay for what they did to her, not run and hide when she saw them.

She can’t let Landon keep on bothering her like this.

So, Lucy stayed on her ground, watching what he’d do or say. She didn’t expect an apology or a remorseful speech. Things were already beyond that. There was no saving the two of them or what had happened in the past.

Lucy waited and stared back at him. The elevator door was about to close and somehow, there was relief and sadness as the space between them slowly vanished.

This was where they ended.

Bam!

Suddenly, Landon placed his hand between the closing metal doors, his eyes intensely focused on her.

The elevator opened again, and Landon stepped out. He took each step with deep and resolute steps. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He never took his eyes off her. They were so intense that they were rimmed with redness and slightly unfocused.

"Hey, are you getting on or not?" a middle-aged man inside the elevator called out to her.

Lucy turned her attention to him and shook her head. "No.

She didn’t want to stay in the same enclosed space with Landon.

"And what about you? If you’re getting off, hurry up already!" he was now speaking to Landon. But Landon seemed to not hear him.

Why? Why can’t I just ignore him? It would’ve been better if he fell to the floor. That would’ve given her time to escape and perhaps he’d lose his consciousness and forget ever meeting her.

Or you can run. He seemed drunk. You can leave him here. She thought it made sense.
