Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 210

"Melody's condition does seem to have improved a lot."

Elara nodded, answering honestly. "She really was doing much better before."

Maddox raised an eyebrow. "Before?"

"Yes."

Elara told the truth. "Recently, Julian has been upsetting Melody, and she's cried a few times over it."

It was just the three of them in The Manor Library, and with its excellent soundproofing, Elara saw no need to keep up pretenses.

Besides, she was telling the absolute truth.

Maddox had anticipated this, but hearing it out loud still ignited a spark of anger within him.

"Is it because he hasn't been coming home?"

"Exactly."

Elara offered a bitter smile. "Julian mentioned that the company ran into some trouble, so for the past month, he's basically been working overtime and barely comes home."

"Did you ask him what kind of trouble the company is facing?"

"I did, but Julian wouldn't tell me."

At this point, Elara suddenly seemed to shrink into herself, nervously twisting her fingers as her voice dropped, adopting a tone of self-pity.

"But I can't blame Julian. It's my own fault for being so useless."

"After I quit my job, I poured all my energy into this family. My entire life revolves around my home and my husband, twenty-four hours a day. I've been disconnected from the professional world for so long that my knowledge of the market and the company is absolute zero. Even if Julian explained it to me, I wouldn't understand."

Elara tried her best to muster a smile, attempting to maintain a shred of dignity, but the corners of her mouth felt weighed down by lead.

"If... if I were still working at the law firm like before, maybe I could actually help Julian, and he wouldn't have to face all these hardships entirely on his own."
