How My Ex Became My Next

Chapter 10

“Jensen?” asked Madeleine.

Madeleine didn’t know the real relationship between Jensen and Gilda. She didn’t want Jensen to be delayed by Gilda, so she said, “Hurry up and let Ms. Lynch leave! My parents are still waiting for us at home. They haven’t seen you for a long time. They missed you.”

The gentle female voice brought Jensen out of his trance.

Jensen felt guilty when he thought of the Donovan family. For this reason, he felt that he should visit Madeleine’s parents.

Gilda, however, didn’t show any changes in her expression because of what Madeleine said.

It seemed that Gilda no longer cared about things related to Jensen.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Jensen was depressed. A mood of melancholy descended on him.

“There it is,” said Jensen.

Gilda looked in the direction where Jensen motioned her to look and found that her identity card was placed under the water dispenser as if it was something Jensen disliked.

“Thanks.” Gilda suppressed all the bitterness in her heart and went straight to pick up her identity card. She then turned around and left without hesitation.

Gilda felt that there seemed to be a sharp and indifferent gaze following her.

As soon as Gilda opened the door of Jensen’s office, people in the office area all looked at her.

Some just wanted to watch the show. Some sympathized with Gilda. Most of them were gossiping.

Some even said that Gilda had been expelled from the company because she tried to seduce Jensen.

Gilda was Jensen’s legal wife. She should be protected by the law, but she ended up with bitterness and humiliation as if she were a mistress.

Gilda went into the elevator where she almost cried as she was there alone, but she managed to control herself in the end. When she arrived at the hall on the first floor, she heard the patter of footsteps behind her.

Gilda was surprised when she saw Lanny trotting over with an umbrella in his hand. “Ms. Lynch, take this. It’s raining outside. If you are cold, I can give you my coat as well!”

Gilda thought, it turns out that not everyone in Harrington Corporation is cold and heartless.

Seeing that Lanny was about to take off his coat, Gilda stopped him and suppressed the bitterness in her heart. “No, thank you, Lanny. I’m leaving. I’m afraid we won’t have a chance to meet and work together again.”

Lanny moved his lips at the sight of the melancholy in Gilda’s eyes and did not know what to say for a moment.

Gilda left resolutely and rushed into the rain as if only the rain could bring her reason back and break the fantasy she had had.

Sitting in the taxi heading for the airport, Gilda looked out of the window at the pouring rain and the city where she had lived for several years. Finally, she couldn’t suppress her sadness anymore. She made a phone call.

The moment the phone was connected, Gilda said listlessly as if she had lost all her strength, “Patrick…”

After saying a few words to the person on the other end, the phone was hung up.

Eight hours later, a private plane landed at Allath Airport.

A tall man in black came out. He then held Gilda in his arms.

The bodyguards behind them took Gilda’s luggage and escorted Gilda and the man aboard the plane.

Late at night, a black Bentley slowly drove into the Harrington residence.

In the back seat, Jensen looked out of the window at the two-story building that was surrounded by lush shrubs.

The lights in the bedroom were normally on, but now the room was dark. It reminded Jensen that Gilda had left.

Madeleine could tell that Jensen was in a bad mood. She thought that it was her father’s words at dinner that made Jensen unhappy. “Jensen, I know what happened between my sister and your brother hurt both of us a lot. Don’t worry about the marriage. You don’t have to take what my father said seriously. He is so anxious just because I am pregnant…”

Madeleine’s words brought Jensen’s mind back to reality. Jensen glanced at his cuff that was grasped by Madeleine and said, “You wrinkled it.”

Madeleine subconsciously withdrew her hand.

Jensen then opened the door and got out of the car.

Looking at Jensen’s back, Madeleine was lost in thought. She couldn’t understand why Jensen suddenly changed a lot. After all, when they were in Jensen’s office during the day, Jensen even allowed her to sit on his lap.

But Madeleine didn’t have much time to think about it. She got out of the car to catch up with Jensen.
