Wooing My Ex-Wife

For as long as Inez knew Kieran, he always appeared dignified, cold, and prideful whenever she saw him.

She was startled when she saw him wet for the first time. He looked as though he had just finished bathing. “Why are you…”

Kieran’s pale lips curved upward slightly.

His smile resembled the melting of the winter snow and the warm sun after a storm.

Inez’s heart skipped a beat as her eyes slowly reddened. Did he just… smile at me? That was what I’d wanted for so long. It’s a shame I don’t care about it now.

She lowered her head and stifled the bitterness swelling in her heart.

Kieran’s smile gradually faded as his usual icy look settled in his eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was turning a little awkward, Madelyn explained with a grin, “Mr. Kieran had a small accident on his way to Fairlake for a business trip. He lost his phone and wallet. Also, he didn’t find shelter last night, which is why he’s drenched. He’s hoping to stay at the Mossey residence for a few days.”

“I see,” replied Inez coldly. I didn’t expect him to experience so many troubles yesterday. It must’ve been tough. However, he didn’t come here because of me. He deserves it.

Slightly stunned, she lifted her head. “I don’t have a say in whether Mr. Kieran can stay at our home. It’s your and Dad’s decision. Why are you telling me this?”

She put down her fork and returned to her room upstairs.

“Inez has always been like that. Please don’t take offense at her behavior.” Jerome spoke to resolve the awkward situation. “I bet you didn’t rest last night. Feel free to wind down in the guest room and take a warm shower. I’ll ask someone to buy a few sets of clothes for you based on your measurements. It’ll be sent to you later.”

Kieran lowered his head and stared at his drenched body. I should take a shower. “Thank you.”

Madelyn and Jerome grinned and asked a housekeeper to lead Kieran to the guest room.

Soon, the sound of flowing water could be heard from the small bathroom in the guest room.

Madelyn and Jerome exchanged a glance before doing their own things.
