Wooing My Ex-Wife

Even long after Gwendolyn had left, Asher remained sitting on the bed, dumbfounded. His mind was still frenziedly analyzing the matter.

Evelyn’s statement mentioned that Mom grew sick due to her fury from discovering Dad’s infidelity. However, that’s incorrect. I was already old enough back then, and I recall clearly that Mom was ill because of cancer, not her anger. Moreover, Mom had already learned about the existence of Evelyn and her mother the year Evelyn was born. She understood Dad and how abundant his love was; there was no stopping him. In addition, Mom was a career–minded woman. Divorcing Dad would only lead to a mountain of issues, so she disregarded his matters and feigned ignorance, treating him courteously. Evelyn was so young back then. How could she possibly be capable of doing something that cruelt

Eventually, a conclusion came to his mind.

She said it on purpose. Using Mom’s death as an excuse, she tricked Gwendolyn into the villa, wanting to perish along with Gwendolyn. Even though she knew there was no way she could eliminate Gwendolyn after the failure and would expose her intentions, she still pulled the trigger. Was she trying to return my favor by resolving the animosity between Gwendolyn and me? Did she feel guilty because she knew how horribly Gwendolyn treated me previously? Perhaps the only way I can obtain an accurate answer is by visiting her personally. However, there’s no way Gwendolyn will allow me to visit Evelyn privately. If Gwendolyn learns of this, our rocky relationship will only grow more turbulent. Ugh, I’m so conflicted. Should I tell Gwendolyn the truth that I know?

Just as he was feeling vexed, Sienna entered the room and sat beside him.

“Gwen seemed unhappy when she was leaving earlier. What did you say to upset her again?” she queried.

Shaking his head, Asher endured the discomfort of his dry throat and spoke effortfully. “I was going to ask her what Evelyn told her on the island and share with her some of the possessions Mom left behind. But she thought I was going to plead mercy for Evelyn and left in anger.”

“Huh?” She was dumbstruck. “Then, why didn’t you explain? Gwen’s already exceptionally bothered by the fact that you aided Evelyn in the past. This is only worsening the misunderstanding between the two of you.”

He coughed violently until he paled.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to explain anything to Gwendolyn; she had simply caught him off guard with Evelyn’s statement before he could even speak his mind, thus diverting his train of thought.
