My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 141

“I’m beautiful, so why doesn’t he like me?” muttered Isabella, a blend of self-reflection. and a question

directed at Jaxon.

Jaxon’s gaze deepened as he observed the distressed woman before him. Remaining silent, he lifted

his glass and signaled for her to share a drink.

The pair started losing track of time as they began drinking.

That night, those at Casa Cloud Villa experienced mixed fillings, as some were sorrowful, while others

were happy.

Soon, the alcohol on the table was mostly gone, and Isabella was utterly wasted.

Jaxon was also in a state of haziness and struggled to walk properly. Frowning, he helped Isabella up,

and they began stag gering toward their lodging.

In his drunken state, Jaxon’s brain had ceased to function, and he relied on his sixth sense to lead him

back to his room.

Upon reaching the room, the two of them fell onto the bed together, and Isabella let out a faint whimper

as a slight frown formed on her flushed face.

Perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, she felt somewhat hot and haphazardly tugged at her gown,

revealing her alluring collarbones and curvy figure.

Awakened by the restless woman beside him, Jaxon propped himself up and supported. his head with

his arm. He then turned to his side and began observing Isabella.

However, his breathing hitched when he saw that the person before him was the captivating “Olivia.”

‘It’s her, the woman I’ve been longing for. She’s in my bed!’ thought Jaxon excitedly, eager to shower

her with affection.

He began tracing Isabella’s eyebrows, lips, and cheeks gently before kissing her red lips passionately.

In the beginning, Isabella frowned in annoyance, as this abrupt intrusion disrupted her from a tranquil

dream. However, it didn’t take long before the kiss entranced her, and she embraced the moment.

Jaxon had been anticipating this moment for a long time, and his passion erupted like a volcano, as he

could no longer hold back.

Soon, the room was enveloped by an air of ambiguity. The pair’s clothes were sc at tered

across the bed and floor, including shreds of Isabella’s torn-up tailor-made garment.

the first sensation of love incredibly fresh and enjoyable. making in impossible for him to stop

It wast’t clear how much time had passed when he finally stopped.

Mestable, that night Vincent and Olivia sealed their love at Casa Cloud Villa

Vincent had shamelessly followed Olivia back to her room

Seeing Olivia emerge from the bathroom looking shy and uneasy. Vincent playfully remarked. “Is there

something I haven’t seen when we’ve done everything?”

Vincent then headed to the bathroom

Olivia’s hear began to beat rapidly as she heard water running in the bathroom.

Thad brought him back to my room so it means that sharing a bed is imminent, right? thought Olivia

preparing herself to face the inevitable.

Soon. Vincent emerged from the bathroom in a long, white bathrobe, with the collar slightly open and

the waistband casually tied around his waist.

Olivia took a glance at his se xy collarbones and sturdy chest muscles, which were on full display,

before averting her eyes and lowering her head.

She dared not make direct eye contact with the handsome man before her, fearing she couldn’t resist

the temptation to throw herself at him.

Smiling wickedly, Vincent proceeded to dry his hair with a towel.

“Ill sleep on the couch tonight, and you can take the bed.” said Olivia softly, too embarrassed to raise

her head and look at him.

Setting aside the towel in his hands. Vincent strode toward her. Lifting her alluring chin, he said

indifferently. The couch is too small, and I’ll have to rescue you if you roll down in the middle of the

night.”

Olivia was speechless at how he was treating her like a mischievous child.

She was about to devise an excuse when Vincent put his hand over her lips, signaling her to remain

silent.

“Didn’t you agree not to run away? Are you changing your mind again?” Vincent asked.

slyly. “Unfortunately, it’s too late for you to escape now. You’re in on it and mine from

now on.”

With that, Vincent began his passionate advances toward Olivia.

Also overwhelmed by her emotions, Olivia stopped struggling and followed her heart’s desire.

The next morning, the situation in both rooms was completely different.

For Jaxon and Isabella, the latter woke up feeling like her body was in shambles. Every inch of her

muscles ached, and the marks on her skin looked dreadful.

Her eyes snapped open, and she discovered a man lying beside her. She then glanced at herself

before letting out a piercing scream, as the sight pushed her to the verge of a breakdown.

Her scream finally startled Jaxon, and a glimpse of despair flickered in his gaze when he opened his

eyes,

He couldn’t believe his eyes, thinking, ‘As far as I could remember, I was with Olivia last. night. How did

I end up with Isabella instead?’

Isabella burst into tears at this moment and cursed continuously, “Jaxon Nightingale, you despicable as

s hole!”

Jaxon held his forehead and thought about how he was also a victim before saying,

“That’s enough. Please stop crying, as I’ll take responsibility for my actions.”

Isabella’s spoiled temper resurfaced, and she spoke amidst tears. “Take responsibility? How are you ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

going to do that? You clearly know that I like Vincent!”

She began hurling everything within her reach at Jaxon. “You owe me my happiness! Everything’s

ruined because of you!”

Growing impatient with the unreasonable young lady, Jaxon started getting dressed without much care

before uttering expressionlessly, “As you wish.”

Isabella felt a sense of panic when she observed the shift in Jaxon’s demeanor, thinking, “What will

become of me if he refuses to take responsibility?”

Despite her outward appearance as an outgoing and passionate girl who was unafraid to express her

feelings, Isabella remained traditional at her core.

After staring at Jaxon for some time, she finally accepted her fate.

Jaxon, on the other hand, was in utter despair, as he regretted his actions from the previous night.

He knew Olivia well, and this incident would linger with him for a lifetime. Instead of dwelling on it, he

opted to turn the tables by becoming the Jennings family’s live-in

son-in-law.

After all, the Jennings family was also prestigious, and given the time, that might give him the upper

hand.

‘Vincent’s like a personal nightmare, and I desire revenge. However, I’m acting alone. and can’t find the

right opportunity. In this case, the Jennings family seems like a good choice, contemplated Jaxon as he

grinned sardonically.

Meanwhile, Isabella looked at him in confusion, as he alternated between a gloomy expression and

bursting into laughter, seemingly without reason.

Nevertheless, this marked the first time she carefully observed Jaxon. She realized that he had an

outstanding appearance, and surprisingly, there was a certain resemblance in his facial features to

Vincent.

Jaxon was, in fact, a handsome man, but she previously only had eyes for Vincent and didn’t pay

attention to other men.

Now that she looked closer, she also realized what a good-tempered man he was.

Isabella instantly fell back into a lovestruck state. Contemplating Jaxon’s words, she became a bit

skeptical and reiterated her question, seeking confirmation from him, “Are you truly going to take

responsibility for me?”

If that were the case, Isabella felt that Jaxon was a decent man who dared act straightforwardly and

responsibly.

Jaxon nodded with deep emotions that were hard to fathom concealed in his gaze.
