Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

"Sis, I get it."

Yolanda's voice carried a tinge of despondency.

Hearing her, Carol's heart sank even further.

She had always been close with this cousin, and this time, the Miller family's troubles, with her uncle playing a significant role in them, couldn't ultimately drive a wedge between her and Yolanda.

Yolanda had always been into what the boys liked: bungee jumping, racing, ice skating—and she was quite good at them, though not quite championship level. Still, among the average folks, she put on quite a show.

"The money's in your account; use it as you need to. And don't worry about Uncle's mess anymore."

The word was that Uncle had been double-crossed in a deal with Felix, and it had sent him over the edge. He'd become violent towards Yolanda and even started doubting if she was his own flesh and blood.

Abner has only one daughter, Carol, and Yolanda is the only child of her family. But now, her father is becoming paranoid about having an illegitimate son outside.

He even called Carol, but Carol, harboring resentment towards him for colluding with Felix, didn’t answer.

"Yolanda, Uncle's talking about having a son out there. You know anything about that?"

Instant silence on the line told Carol the issue was more complicated than it seemed.

"Yolanda?"

"Sis, let's not get into this. I'll handle it, okay? Maybe we should keep our distance for a while. I appreciate everything you've done, but Felix has been sending me warnings. I gotta hang up now."

Carol was anxious, but the call had been cut.

She tried redialing, only to find out she'd been blocked. Had Yolanda blocked her?

Carol was at a loss but knew deep down Yolanda bore her no ill will.

She sighed, acknowledging that she was barely keeping her own head above water and had done all she could for her cousin.

On Christmas' Day, she wandered until late afternoon, watching as snowflakes began to drift down from the sky.

She remembered how Abner, no matter how busy, would always come home for the holidays and bring her gifts.

She had been spoiled by him, always getting what she wanted, never imagining a day when she wouldn't want to return home. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

The truth about Abner killing someone in a car accident was clear; it indeed was an accident caused by him.

But at that time, he had hushed it up using his connections and paid off the other party, who then ran off with the money, leaving the victim's family with nothing. Abner, not wanting to draw attention, left it all to his assistant and was unaware the company he acquired belonged to the Listina family.

The Miller family had been working towards that acquisition for a long time; the car accident or not, the takeover of the Geo family company was inevitable.

Carol wasn't defending her father—he was guilty of manslaughter. But that wasn’t a reason for Felix, Listina, and Nathan to deceive her together.

She found a bench covered in a thick layer of snow and sat down, brushing the cold flakes aside, her hands shaking from the chill.

A car stopped in front of her. Ironically, it was the one she had given to Nathan, and it was under Maja’s name.

Back then, Maja wanted to avoid entanglement with Ian, so Nathan played the part of her husband.

To show her gratitude, Carol had gifted Nathan a car.

That very car now sat before her.

And inside was Nathan himself, his unremarkable face appearing as the car window rolled down.
