The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie

Chapter 10



Chapter 10 

She slowly opened the door and adjusted her emotions and expression before walking toward the gate quickly

Linda had opened the gate and stood at the door waiting for her when she drove into the courtyard

Seeing her coming, Linda hurriedly came up and said. Ms. Swanson, you’re back! Are you all right?” 

There was a slight worry in her voice as if Aurelia’s strange behavior in the morning had not been eliminated and forgotten

Aurelia suddenly glanced at Linda coldly. What do you think would happen to me?” 

Linda was petrified by Aurelia’s harsh and dissatisfied glare, causing her entire body to freeze in place

Mind your own business. It’s not your place to worry or ask questions about things that don’t concern you. I’m sure you don’t need me to teach you how to be a good housekeeper, do you?” 

Aurelia’s voice was not loud, but her words were like sharp swords. She scared the woman in her forties, and the latter almost cried out

She didn’t mean to scare Linda. It was just that she despised the unnecessary concerns shown by others, whether genuine or 

fake

Being a naive and ignorant girl in her previous life, she didn’t realize that Linda’s excessive concern about her whereabouts

was unusual

However, now that she looked at it again, she began questioning Linda’s true motives and the sincerity behind her actions

She didn’t care whether Linda had actually been bought off by Marcellus or not. The words she spoke were meant as a warning

She relaxed and walked into the hall. Marcellus was not there

Aurelia was not surprised

Without changing her shoes, she walked upstairs to Marcellusstudy in high heels

She was about to arrive at the door of his study

Aurelia stopped in her tracks, turned around, and walked toward her own room, her high heels echoing with a distinct bang 

on the floor

Marcellus, seated at his desk in the study, furrowed his brows. The sound of Aurelia’s retreating footsteps only deepened the gloom on his face

For some reason, he kept feeling uneasy today

Especially since his call to Aurelia at ten o’clock in the morning, he had been anything but calm

He felt like something was going to happen

He had never experienced such a situation before

So he couldn’t suppress his annoyance

When he finally declined several lunch invitations and returned home, he discovered that his obedient wife, whom he had particularly asked to stay home and wait for him, was nowhere to be found, which only fueled his anger further

Only he knew the immense effort he exerted to keep his anger in check while talking to Aurelia on the phone

Chapter 10 

Unexpectedly, Aurelia told her to go back for dinner to celebrate Melanie’s birthday in advance

It suddenly occurred to him that it was International Women’s Day tomorrow

It was not only Aurelia’s birthday that day but also their wedding anniversary

Marcellus suddenly felt he had chosen the wrong day to discuss divorce with her

He was a powerful elite in the business world. It was his usual means to negotiate under the most favorable circumstances to achieve the ultimate goal of victory

This time, it was obvious that he had miscalculated

He had himself to blame for that. He realized that he had neglected his wife in their marriage. Otherwise, he would never make such a mistake as today

It appeared that bringing up the topic of divorce was not something he could do at the moment

If the divorce wasn’t on the table, he was unsure about what he could say to Aurelia once she returned

Marcellus looked at his watch irritably again. Fifteen minutes had passed, but Aurelia hadn’t arrived home yet. She was five minutes away from the ten minutes she said on the phone

Moreover, he despised nothing more than people being late

He held a deep disdain for Aurelia, Michael, and the arranged marriage that his family had imposed on him

If it weren’t for her father, Michael, who held the position of the chief deputy sheriff, Marcellus wouldn’t have to marry such 

a bimbo

After waiting for more than half an hour, he finally heard the sound of a car approaching, followed by the familiar sound of highheeled shoes echoing through the corridor

Marcellusface finally sank. He was ready to teach her a hard and cold lesson once she pushed the door open and came in, laying the groundwork for asking her for divorce in a few days. Marcellus himself also agreed that today was not the day for 

divorce

Unexpectedly, just as the owner of the highheeled shoes was about to reach the door of his study, she abruptly turned around and walked away. He waited for a few more minutes, but there was no sign of Aurelia returning

It felt as if he had prepared himself to deliver a powerful punch, but instead of striking his target and causing damage, his fist landed in a pile of cotton, rendering his effort futile

Marcellusexpression suddenly became very ugly

He suddenly stood up, opened the door of the study heavily, and strode toward their room

He wanted to ask what was wrong with Aurelia. Didn’t she realize that he had wasted valuable time waiting for her at home

Without knocking, he pushed the door open heavily

Before he could question Aurelia harshly, he was stunned by the scene before him.. 

In the room, Aurelia, standing in front of the dressing mirror and wearing a new bra, covered her chest with a cry of 

surprise

She looked shocked

When she saw Marcellus, a hint of panic and shyness flickered across her face. MMarc, what are you doing here? Have you been waiting for me?”

Marcellus didn’t speak. He just quietly looked at her smooth skin and soft waistline

It must be said that aside from her family background, Aurelia had an alluring figure that could captivate any man

It was clear to Marcellus, who had been her husband for several years

Thinking of this, Marcellus couldn’t help but recall the situation when he was in bed with Aurelia. Her stretchy thighs and 

flexible waist… 

An obvious desire suddenly burst out in his body

His eyes were now gleaming with lust while looking at Aurelia

Aurelia saw his expression clearly and couldn’t help but sneer

However, she quickly secured the clasp of her bra and retrieved a light pink wool dress from the closet, slipping it on

This dress was exactly what she wore before the divorce from Marcellus in her previous life

She did this on purpose

After getting dressed, she walked over slowly with anxiety on her face and a desire to please Marcellus

My previous clothes are dirty, so I want to dress up and change into clean clothes before I see you again. Have you been waiting for a long time?”
