Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Alice wanted to laugh at the sight of the woman, who was looking at her with utter disdain. It was as though the woman was a winner, who relished watching the loser suffer.

She merely glanced at the woman. Her mind at the moment was racing in annoyance. She had never been humiliated like this before!

Even Jacob was polite to her. He had never embarrassed her like Jonathan did.

"Oh, really? Just stay here," Jonathan said as he pushed the well-dressed woman beside him away.

The woman grumbled something coquettishly. Meanwhile, Alice cast a cold look at the woman and thought that Jonathan indeed had a bad taste on women.

"Don't you dare go too far," Alice warned, her eyes full of contempt for Jonathan and the woman.

Jonathan looked back with the same cold intensity as her.

"Alice, where have I gone too far? Both of us know what we're doing. Why? Do you still think that you're the same little princess you were? Stop it."

Jonathan smiled slyly, an undisguised contempt apparent in his eyes. Alice might be vicious, but she still could not help but be frightened by the look in his eyes. When did Jonathan think she was such a woman?

Perhaps she had always been like that in his eyes, but she just did not notice it? That idea almost made Alice collapse. Subconsciously, she dug her fingernails into her palms.

She pursed her lips in disgust. Only then did she realize that Jonathan was a downright asshole.

"Fine. I'll go," Alice said with her jaw clenched. If only she knew earlier, she would not have suffered like this.

Not only that, but she would not have come in the first place.

Although Alice was cursing herself in her heart, she remained calm and composed on the outside.

Jonathan hated it whenever she behaved like this. She had always pretended to be strong, but in fact, her heart was already surging.
