Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Being a bundle of nerves, Nathan swallowed hard tand again as he waited for a response on the other end of the phone.

Behind him, Carol couldn't help but let out a chuckle; her praise was laced with a hint of sarcasm, "Wow, Nathan, you've got sguts, chatting with Felix like that. I'm starting to see you in a new light." At that moment, Carol felt like the ultimate instigator, reveling in the chaos she'd caused.

With the heat closing in on them, she figured they might as well go down in flames.

Get married? She'd have to be out of her mind to tie the knot with a man responsible for her family's downfall.

Felix, having overheard her comment, felt a surge of emotion that turned his eyes red in an instant.

Feeling his heart clenched as if gripped by a giant fist, he was left breathless.

The person standing next to him had just received a call from the wedding venue, meant to inquire about how to proceed.

But upon glancing up, they saw Felix set down his phone, whose cheeks was glistening with emotion.

The words they intended to say were lodged in their throat, unspoken.

Below, the cars continued their frantic escape, but the sky was thick with helicopters closing in fast.

Carol knew they had no chance of getting away. She simply told Nathan, "Stop the car." Nathan was reluctant, but he knew that with helicopters and cars everywhere, pressing on could lead to dire consequences. He wouldn't gamble with Carol's life.

Back at the wedding venue, Abner was helped to the center seat of honor.

Someone nervously served him tea, their hands trembling.

The guests whispered among themselves, clueless about the unfolding before them.

How did Abner, who should've been behind bars, suddenly show up here? Abner took a sip of tea with deliberate calm. He'd lost weight recently and looked frail.

The night before, Felix had unexpectedly issued a letter of forgiveness, along with one from Listina.

Since the family had dropped their grievances and the original compensation had been embezzled, the prison had quickly released Abner.

The evening prior, a car had been sent to fetch Abner, cleaned him up, administered a nutrient shot, and today, he was brought to the wedding. ŚwAbner hadn't spoken to anyone upon sitting down.

The red carpet stretched from inside the hotel to the outside, but at its end, there was neither the bride nor groom to be seen.

Abner was satisfied. He knew his daughter well - after all that had happened, she wouldn't want to marry Felix.

She would either flee the wedding today or sometafter. It seemed she chose today.

Abner was an astute judge of character; he had pegged Felix as ambitious from their first meeting. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He also knew that Felix's feelings for Carol were genuine.

But what did it matter? The Miller family was in shambles - why should Felix have the last laugh? Abner was not a forgiving man, especially when it cto his daughter, he was fiercely protective.

It was for the best that Carol had run; her strong-willed nature would only suffer by Felix's side. Besides, a man who couldn't cleanly break with an ex was hardly worth a lifetcommitment.

The atmosphere at the venue was tense and awkward; the guests were murmuring and speculating as the main characters of the day were conspicuously absent. S Meanwhile...

After their car was stopped, Carol braced herself for Felix's retaliation.

Since the wedding's auspicious hour had passed, she guessed that the guests must know she had fled, which was a significant e embarrassment for a man of Felix's standing. The surrounding cars slowly converged, trapping hers in the middle.

The helicopters above cto rest, and from a distance, Carol could see Felix's figure.

It was strange - even among a sea of towering bodyguards, he still stood out as the most prominent.
