His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 424

Chapter 424

Jareth bid everyone farewell, and made a beeline for home, urgency in every stride.

He’d been holding it in these days, the machismo in him refusing to let his emotions show. He spent his alone time wrapped in blanket, scrolling through intimate pictures of him and Marilla, almost bringing himself to tears.

Being away from his darling wife was taking a toll on him. He wasn’t eating well, he wasn’t sleeping well. He was at his wit’s e Seeing Thaddeus and Evadine flirt earlier had stoked the fire in him, making his longing unbearable.

Night fell, and the stars littered the sky.

Elmsworth was warming up pretty fast in Jareth’s absence. The flowers and plants in the yard were showing signs of spring.

Five days had passed without any news from the young master. Lily was worried sick, unable to eat or sleep, her mind elsewhere. Every day, she did two things.

She tended to Marilla, and waited for Jareth to return.

Tonight, Lily was dressed immaculately, standing by the door as always.

She felt that the young master would return triumphant any time now. Maybe today. If not today, then surely tomorrow.

Suddenly, a white sports car, like a bolt of lightning, raced towards her from the distance.

The car screeched to a halt before her. Seeing Jareth emerge unscathed, striding towards her Lily was overcome with emotion, her hands trembling as she clenched them.

“Mr. Fairhaven, you’ve finally returned.”

“Why are you standing at the door so late?”

Jareth glanced at Lily, his eyes widened in surprise, “Have you been standing here every night waiting for me?”

“No, I just couldn’t sleep tonight. I was standing outside to clear my mind. By coincidence, you returned.”

Lily forced a smile, keeping the truth to herself.

Her feelings for Jareth ran deep, but she never let them show.

“Where is Marilla? Is she asleep?” Jareth asked anxiously

“Yes, she has slept, just recently.”

Jareth’s shoulders slumped, disappointment in his eyes, “Oh God. I rushed all the way here, nearly set my car on fire, and I still couldn’t make it in time“”

He knew his darling wife loved sleep. She was a real sleeping beauty.
