The Loser Ex-Wife Came Back Hot novel Chapter 27

“Jasper!”

Alaric's sudden sharp reprimand made Jasper Wilder snap his mouth shut.

Nova stood frozen in shock.

Lately, because Alaric was helping her lose weight, he hadn't been finishing up until eight or nine at night.

The Donald estate was over a mile away from the Langdon house, yet every time, he insisted on walking back on his own, refusing to let her family's driver take him.

She never imagined Mrs. Langdon could be so cruel as to physically lock him out of the house.

Nova, you fool, how did you not consider this possibility?

“I-I'm just telling the truth! Why are you getting so mad?”

As Jasper handed Alaric his medication, his gaze darted back and forth between the two of them.

Sensing the heavy tension in the air, Jasper quickly added, “Uh... I'm going to go get you some water. You guys take your time!”

With that, Jasper bolted from the scene.

Looking at Alaric's pale face, Nova asked softly, “If Mrs. Langdon was treating you like this, why didn't you tell me?”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

“How could it have nothing to do with me? If I hadn't kept you late to help me work out, she wouldn't have locked you out.”

“I volunteered, and you paid me for it.”

Alaric's voice was utterly flat. “My business is my own. It has nothing to do with you, and I don't need you meddling in it.”

Without another word, he turned and walked away.

Staring at his retreating figure, Nova felt a heavy wave of guilt wash over her.
