The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 17: Forget Evan

“How was the first day in medical school?” Shantelle was beyond shocked to find Keith Henderson leaning against a BMW sports car in front of her school.

He looked striking in a white Chinese–collared shirt, grey coat, and trousers. His dirty blond hair was brushed up neatly, and his face was clean–shaven.

“I look great, don’t I?” He teased. Seeing how Shantelle studied him closely, a sly grin formed on his face.

“What – what are you doing here?” She asked, ignoring his comment.

“I am on a business trip. Prima MedCare has over ten thousand policyholders in Warlington, and I plan to strengthen our company’s hold here in the city,” Keith revealed.

When Shantelle raised a brow at him, he chuckled. He said, “Oh, you mean, here? In front of your school?”

“I asked Doctor Scott where you were. I was going to see him anyway, so I decided to pick you up. I know your father has yet to hire a driver,” Keith said. “I’m in town for two months. I can be your driver.”

Shantelle shook her head and said, “You don’t need to. I can get a taxi –”

“I’m heading to Warlington Hospital. You can ride in a taxi, pay a taxi fare and put your trust in a stranger, or you can ride with me… for free,” Keith pointed out.

“That she is living with Evan in our marital home? I know,” Shantelle said while looking out the window.

“What?!” That information took Keith aback. He answered, “I don’t think –”

“I heard it loud and clear. Nicole picked up the landline when I called Mrs. Shaw, our house caretaker,” Shantelle reported, still avoiding his gaze.

He said, “I don’t know about

Keith. Please, stop. I came here to forget Evan, not to remember him all over again.” Shantelle thought back to when she found out about Nicole living in their villa. She cried for hours, feeling the pain in her chest coming back all over again. She could not count how many times she said she would no longer cry over Evan. Better said than done. The things that
