The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 243

As Lucy walked outside, the words she was about to say died on her tongue, replaced by a soft, almost imperceptible sigh.

Noticing her hesitation, Wyatt quickly stepped forward, rushing to explain.

"Lucy, don't take it to heart. Ethan was just angry, that's why he ran his mouth. I fought him for you last time, but today was different. I just wanted to prove myself. It had absolutely nothing to do with you."

Lucy turned her head and gave him a calm look. She simply hummed in acknowledgement, her tone unreadable. "Go home and get some rest. I'm leaving."

Without another word, she unlocked her car and slid into the driver's seat.

The engine purred to life, and the car swiftly pulled away, leaving nothing but fading taillights in its wake.

Wyatt watched until her car completely disappeared down the road before turning back to re-enter the gym.

Walking through the doors, he saw Ethan crouched beside Kingsley. His temper flared instantly, and his voice dripped with resentment.

"Ethan, you were totally trying to guilt-trip her! Why didn't you mention all the pain Lucy went through back then? You're so biased."

He then shifted his gaze to Kingsley, who was still sprawled on the floor, and spat with blatant disdain, "And you—you deserved everything you got today."

Kingsley planted a hand on the mat, trying to sit up, but Ethan shoved him back down, his brow furrowed deeply. "Don't move! I'll go apologize to her later."

Finished with Kingsley, Ethan shot Wyatt a glacial glare. "Stop making things worse and get your ass home! Do you think you're just going to walk away from this? Sean is going to have your head."
