Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 199 Nevin froze for a moment before shaking his head in frustration .

No news at all , he said .

Ever since Ethan vanished from the hospital three years ago , there had been no word .

Not even the extensive information network of the Parker family could uncover anything Haydens gaze shifted towards the horizon , where the sum had completely dipped below the skyline , leaving nothing but an endless sea of darkness .

Hayden , why are you so obsessed with finding him ? Nevin asked , his curiosity piqued .

Ethan was Yvonnes bodyguard .

If Yvonne really committed suicide , then their connection would have ended .

Ethan should have been free to leave and start over .

But instead , he was brutally attacked and left unconscious , Haydens voice was slow and deliberate .

That could still have been the work of his old enemies , right ? I mean , he was involved in the underworld .

He must have had a lot of enemies .

Nevin responded , confused .

Hayden wasnt about to dismiss that possibility , but … When we were on the cruise , a normal enemy wouldnt have dared to make a scene in front of the Parker family , he said .

SULAJN s eyes suddenly widened with realization .

Oh , right.

It was our familys cruise ship .

Who would be foolish enough to cause trouble there ? The smartest move would have been to wait until we were back on land .

Nevin paused , the weight of Haydens words sinking in .

But after a moment , he couldnt help but feel the connection between these two events was a bit far fetched .

He hesitated , then looked at Hayden with concern .

Are you sure youre not just letting your emotions get the best of you ? How could anyone be so focused on Yvonne ? Even Joanna doesnt have the resources to do something like this , right ? To pull off something this well coordinated , the person responsible would have to be someone with extraordinary influence .

Joanna might be a bit clever , but not to this extent .

Hayden didnt acknowledge Nevins doubt .

He simply spoke again .

Maybe Yvonnes still alive .

He didnt care what kind of person Joanna was .

All he knew was that the signs pointed to one thing : Yvonne might really still be alive , even though everyone kept telling him that Yvonne was long gone .

Nevin frowned , but Hayden wouldnt entertain his thoughts on the matter .

In the end , Nevin gave up , raising his hands in resignation .

I wish she was still alive too .

That way , you wouldnt have to suffer so much .

But … Before he could finish , Nevins phone buzzed .

He glanced at the screen , then got up quickly to answer .

Moments later , he returned , looking troubled .

Its Mom .

She wants us to come home tonight .

Tell her Im busy .

Haydens voice was terse as he stood and walked away without looking back .

Nevin sighed in place , his patience thinning .

Within minutes , his phone rang again .

He groaned , not bothering to hide his frustration as he answered .

Mom , what now ? Have you two come back yet ? Laylas anxious voice crackled through the phone .

I went shopping today and got you both some things .

You need them , dont you ? Chapter 190 Nevin pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration .

Mom , can you stop pushing so hard ? Haydens been avoiding home for three years because of you , and now you want to make it worse ? Laylas tone shifted instantly , as if he had struck a nerve .

She yelled into the phone , Whats with you ? Im just trying to help ! Back then , your brother brought Joanna home and treated her so well .

I thought it was fine to arrange their marriage .

But he didnt want that ! Now three years have passed , and theyre still not married ! Are you trying to make me die of worry ? Nevin sighed , feeling utterly defeated .

Mom , I have things to do , Im hanging up Before Layla could respond .

Nevin quickly ended the call , his head pounding .

He could already feel himself losing it .

If this kept up , he might not even want to go home anymore .

Clenching his fists , Nevin followed Hayden out the door , determined .

Hey , Hayden , can I stay with you tonight ? Hayden shot him a cold look .

You have no place to stay ? Nevin ignored the clear dismissal and jumped into the car , slamming the door behind him .

Rosy House is nice enough , but my house is so quiet .

The meals the maid makes are awful .

Ritas cooking is way better .

Despite not wanting to engage , Hayden didnt kick him out .

He simply started the car and drove away .

In truth , Nevin just wanted to keep him company .

Ever since Yvonnes death , he feared Hayden might follow her , lost in his grief .

Turns out , Hayden was a romantic at heart … At Jethive Group , in the CEOs office , Dylan came by to deliver afternoon tea and snacks .

All of this is from Waylon .

This morning , Mr.

Warner took him to the bakery , and he was as happy as a kid with a new toy , Dylan said , a smile tugging at his lips .

I bit into a slice of cake and said , Is Marlon on break ? I could use some help .

If hes free , he can come help me out .

Im here to help you , arent I ? Dylan shot me a playful look .

I chuckled awkwardly .

Yes , thank you for everything Dylan laughed too .

He wasnt truly mad at me .

He set down the drinks and snacks on the coffee table , then looked around my office .

His brow furrowed at the piles of paperwork .

You just got back , and you already have this much work ? Exactly because I just got back , I sighed , massaging my temples .

Business transitions , new projects … theres a lot to catch up Son I thought the company would run smoothly after I got back , but the reality had proven much more complicated .

Take it slow , Dylan reassured me .

He turned and looked out the window , his gaze falling on the Parker Group building across the street .

What do you think when you look at that building every day ? Im just thinking about when Ill buy a building taller than the Parker Group , I replied , following his gaze .

2/3 1:12 PM c Chapter 199 Who could have imagined ? From humble beginnings , I ended up starting my company right across from the Parker Group .

That days coming soon , Dylan said with a smile .

I heard from Mr.

Warner that youre a natural at business , and youre diligent too .

In just three years , youve already built your business into something big in Microsunland .

Hayden , youre amazing .

Im just standing on the shoulders of giants .

You and Marlon have helped me so much , I didnt want to take all the credit ; without them , I wouldnt have gotten far .

Just then , the secretary knocked and entered .

Sir , someone from the Parker Group is here .

They said Mr.

Parker would like to meet with you .
