My CEO Wife Panicked After Our Divorce (Audrey and Carter) novel Chapter 4

Chris actually found it quite strange.

According to Jessica’s usual character, as long as Michael was around, how could she possibly still notice him?

The fact that she messaged repeatedly today was already rare, and in Jessica’s view, if he still wanted to maintain the marriage, he should have taken the opportunity to make peace.

But now, he no longer cared about Jessica’s opinion.

So he didn’t reply to Jessica’s message, left his phone on silent, and set it aside.

He wouldn’t return to that house either, if Jessica wanted to delete his fingerprint access, so be it.

He had thought that this was the limit of what Jessica would do. If he didn’t go back, that would be it.

Since Michael was by her side, of course her first love was more important.

But unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the door was suddenly unlocked.

Chris, groggy from sleep, sat up abruptly.

The lights in the room flicked on with a sharp click.

Under the white light, Chris saw Jessica standing at the door, her face vaguely tinged with anger. For a moment, he didn’t even know where he was.

Even when they lived together, he and Jessica had been sleeping in separate rooms for a long time.

Jessica often came home late, saying she didn’t want to disturb him. But in reality, ever since Michael returned, she had started preserving her chastity for him.

Chris understood and wasn’t too bothered about it, so he let her be.

“What are you doing here…” Chris instinctively pulled the blanket higher over himself.

Jessica curved her lips into a smile. The fine coat she wore made her figure look even more stunning. Though her eyes still held anger and weariness, they couldn’t conceal her beauty.

Five years of marriage seemed to have only worn down Chris’s edges, while Jessica hadn’t changed at all.

“Well then, learned how to run away from home now, have you?” Jessica took off her coat and walked over to Chris.

She stood beside the bed, looking down at him from above, then smirked after a pause.

“You’ve been in this house for years, and now you’ve learned to run away? Chris, don’t you think that’s pathetic?”

He hadn’t expected Jessica to show up just to scold him.

Chris stared at her in shock, his brows furrowing tightly.

Being woken in the middle of the night with that kind of attitude—anyone would be upset.

Especially considering they were in the process of getting a divorce, he had no reason to appease her anymore.

“If I’m pathetic, what did you come here for?” Chris looked up at Jessica. “What, did Mr. Hall leave?”

The moment he said that, he saw Jessica’s expression stiffen slightly, and he immediately understood.

“I just left, and Mr. Hall moved into the house. With your dream man and a wonderful night, I really don’t know what you came here for.”
