Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 278

“If you really don’t care about me anymore, then why did you risk your life to save me and Grandma that night?”

“I know Conrad keeps hanging around you, but I can let that go. As long as you come back, I won’t make a scene or air our dirty laundry. Wiona… come back. Let’s call off the divorce, okay?”

His eyes fluttered shut, and he leaned in, his lips just an inch from hers. He couldn’t stop himself from smiling, all hopeful and a little giddy.

“Babe, I’ve wanted to do this for so long…” His voice was shaky, almost like he let out a soft sigh.

But before he could actually kiss her, someone yanked him back by the collar with surprising force.

“What are you doing?”

A cold, powerful energy swept through the hallway. Jace flew backward, landing on the ground five meters away. He didn’t even have time to shout before he went limp and silent.

The two Salisbury family bodyguards rushed over, panic all over their faces.

“Sir! Sir—”

They glanced nervously at the two figures by the wall. One was a tall, intimidating man who looked every bit as powerful as his reputation. The other was a lady, half her face hidden, but the hatred and ice in her eyes as she stared at Jace’s unconscious body were impossible to miss. If they weren’t mistaken, Wiona had been holding a dagger. If Jace hadn’t been tossed aside, that dagger would’ve done some real damage.

The bodyguards didn’t stick around. They scooped up Jace and hurried out.

Wiona finally exhaled, feeling the tension drain from her shoulders. She glanced up at Conrad, who’d appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

“You…”

What was he doing here?

“Just passing by,” Conrad said, his earlier aggression fading as he looked at her. He calmly took the dagger from her hand, like it was no big deal.

Just passing by? Wiona didn’t buy it for a second. She’d left the house right after him this morning, and there was no reason for him to be near the civil affairs bureau. Sullivan Group wasn’t even in this direction.

Conrad caught her suspicious look and changed the subject. “What were you about to do? Attack him? Planning to throw away our babies for that loser?”
