The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 564

Ella lowered her long lashes. “I remember. But the one who kept forgetting was always you.”

David froze.

She pushed him away and turned around, her voice calm but steady. “David, when I wanted to be with you, you didn’t want me. Now that I’ve moved on, you keep chasing after me. Is that really what love means to you? David, I don’t love you anymore.”

She repeated herself, her words gentle but unyielding. “David, I don’t love you anymore.”

David’s eyes turned red at the corners, his voice trembling. “Ella, I don’t believe it. I can’t believe you really stopped loving me.”

Ella looked him straight in the eye, her words clear and deliberate. “David, just in case you didn’t catch it the first time, let me say it again. Listen closely. I don’t love you anymore. I’ve fallen for someone else.”

David’s fists clenched so tight the veins stood out on his hands. “Is it Wyatt?”

“Yes, it’s Wyatt. He’s good to me, and I’m carrying his child. So, David, it’s over. You keeping after me is making my life so much harder.”

“Ella…”

She cut him off. “David, there’s an engagement between your family and the Wade family. Your mom came to talk to me today. You can’t even handle things between your families. Do you want to drag me into all that mess? I’m having Wyatt’s baby. Do you want my child to grow up without a father?”

David felt like something was caught in his throat. He wanted to speak but the words just wouldn’t come. All he could feel was a heavy, crushing sense of helplessness.

“David, I saved your life once. Not just in that cave, but when you were in a coma too, I was the one who brought you back. I don’t need you to repay me. I just want you to stay away from me and keep your problems out of my life. If you ever really loved me, let me go. Let me have my own happiness.”

If Ella had said anything else, David would’ve never let go of her hand. But what she said left him speechless, with nothing left to hold onto.

All he could do was clench his fists over and over, the sharp pain in his chest making it hard to breathe.

David just stood there, frozen, feeling like a kid who’d just been left behind. Right then, he knew for sure. He had lost Ella.

He had really lost her.

A luxury car had been parked quietly at the curb the whole time. The back window glided down, revealing Moss' face.

He’d been there all along, watching everything that had happened between Ella and David.

In the front seat, the butler spoke quietly. “Sir, I’ve finished the investigation.”

Moss replied, “Tell me.”

The butler bowed his head. “Ella saved David when they were young, but Miss Wade took the credit for it. Later, when David had his accident and fell into a coma, Miss Jade ran off abroad. It was Ella who married David in her place.”
