Chapter 20: Ex-Wife
Jasmine's POV
After the meeting, I wasn't expecting to see him. I saw that he was surprised to see me but I had no intention of greeting him. My blood only boiled when I saw him.
“ Honey! You're here.” Stacy wrapped her hand around his arm. He didn't move nor say a word.
“ I let out a heavy sigh and just bowed, and I was about to walk out when he talked. His face was as cold as ice before. I knew he wasn't expecting that I would be here. Who would? They thought I was dead! But they were wrong.
“ You're alive” he uttered, which made me laugh sarcastically in my mind. I looked at him and just smiled a bit.
“ I'm sorry, Mr. And Mrs. White, but I still have an urgent meeting today. Now if you'd excuse me-” Stacy cut me off.
“ Of course, you can go,” she said in a serious voice. She looked to Travis, who was now thinking about unnecessary things.
I hurried to my car and rested my back on the seat. Then I drove out of their house.
Does that mean Stacy only knew that I was some kind of golddigger? She's acting like I wasn't a threat at all. Does that mean he doesn't know that Travis had an ex-wife? I laughed sarcastically.
Nothing changes about him, he's still Travis who is ruthless and merciless!
When I got home I saw Diego cooking. I went In Front of him to confront him.
“ Why didn't you tell me?!” My voice raised and he wasn't expecting that. But then, as she saw my expression, he already knew what I meant.
“ Jaz, look. I'm sorry, okay? I didn't know that it was your ex-husband's wedding,” he started to explain. How could he not know?!
“ What?! You knew I was avoiding him but why?” I place the bag on the table. He knew I was mad.
“ Stacy was the one who approached me, and she never mentioned the wedding. Look, I don't know that Stacy was Travis' bride,” he said, trying to calm me down.
I was just controlling myself when I was in that house! Especially when I saw his face!
“ I'm sorry, I’m just shocked because of what happened earlier. I didn't expect it. From all of the people, why them?” My blood boils every time I recall the way he looks at me.
“ I'm sorry I can't cancel the contract. I already signed it. If I had known about it earlier, I would never have signed that contract, “ he explained to me.
I'm not blaming Diego, it's just that I wasn't ready about what happened.
“ No, I'm sorry. Sorry, I was just surprised. “ I said and smiled at him.
“ It's okay, but if you have one I could take good care of it” he said but I just shook my head. I know he's too busy these coming days.
“ No, I could take good care of it. Besides, I already forgot everything. It's only work,” I said while he gave me a meaningful look.
“ Mom?” I turned around to see David yawning.
“ Did you sleep? “ I asked him and he nodded. I looked at Diego and he went back from cooking.
