The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 27: Give Me A Chance

“Evan, son. Do we really need to go?”

Erick Thompson asked.

The Thompsons were in the car, heading their way to the airport. They were flying to Lockwood for the formalities of Evan’s

recently acquired property.

“Of course we do, Erick. Evan wants us to see his plans,” Clara said in the car.

“Please, father,” Evan said in a lifeless tone. “I booked a charter flight, so it will

be comfortable for everyone. I want you

to see the potential of the place.”

With a sigh, Erick answered, “Very well.”

Evan was on his laptop while in the car, reading emails he had missed the other day. Work had to continue for Evan, being the CEO of his father’s company, but it

was obvious that he was unhappy.

He lost that glow on his face. He let hist beard grow lengthier than usual, and his

eyes looked tired. It was clear to everyone how Evan still had not slept properly.

While reading one email, he noticed a familiar person walking down the street.

His eyes rounded, recalling how his private investigator could not find her

new address. She lived in the same city

but proved rather hard to find.

“Karise,” Evan said under his breath. His

heart raced, seeing hope at last.

“Stop the car, Howard. Stop the car!”

After the vehicle pulled over on the

sidewalk, Evan rushed out and chased

after Karise.

“Karise! Karise!” He called. “Please stop!

I need to speak to you!”

Karise heard and glanced his way. He saw

how her eyes rounded and how she ran in another area. “Karise! Please, stop!”

Eventually, Karise was out of breath, and Evan cornered her in one alley. Karise was taking deep breaths as she comforted her chest with her palm. She barked, What do you want, Evan?”

“Karise,” Evan was also panting. He moved toward her and pleaded, “Please, I beg you. I need to know where Shanty is.”

“Why? You are divorced! Let her have her peace!” Karise shot back. “She needs to
