Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 292

She still didn’t fully grasp what was happening.

All she could remember was running out into the rain. Everything after that was a blur. Now, staring at the unfamiliar layout of the room and noticing the change of clothes on her body, it was only natural she felt lost.

Just as Mila was trying to make sense of it all, the door suddenly burst open and a little girl, maybe six or seven years old, came running in.

The two of them locked eyes in silence.

Then the girl shouted at the top of her lungs, “Mom! Mom! The pretty lady’s awake!”

After announcing this, the girl didn’t leave. Instead, she trotted over and tilted her head back, gazing up at Mila with wide, sparkling dark eyes—utterly adorable.

Mila couldn’t help but smile at the sight. “Hey there, sweetheart. Where am I?”

“This is my house,” the girl replied, head cocked to the side. “My name’s Lucy. A big brother brought you here. You’re really pretty, miss.”

“…Thank you.”

Mila was just about to ask who this “big brother” was when Archie strolled into the room, grinning from ear to ear.

“Hey, you’re awake.”

Mila’s brow furrowed instinctively.

After what happened at the old estate, her impression of Archie was far from good. She never imagined she’d run into him here, of all places.

If Lucy was right, he was the one who’d brought her?

“You—”

Before she could finish, Archie launched into a rambling, wildly embellished account of how he’d found and rescued her. The story dragged on, full of unnecessary details.

By the end, Mila’s head was pounding, but at least she had pieced together her current situation.

She’d managed, by pure luck, to slip out from under Lysander’s watchful eye—a realization that brought a small sense of relief.

Right now, the last thing she wanted was to see Lysander.

In fact, anyone connected to that time seven years ago—she wanted nothing to do with them. Just the thought of it made it hard to breathe.
