Chapter 308
My head swirled as | stared at my ex with amazement. How could he think that bringingto our old school
would makeforget how horribly he treated me? Was he really that delusional?
An uneasy feeling settled low in my stomach as | turned away from Ethan. | stared unseeingly out the windshield
into the dark night. What did | need to do to make my ex- husband realize that there was nothing he could do to
makefall back in love with him? My eyes widened when | realized that Ethan might never get it through that
thick skull of his that | would never be with him again. Was | cursed forever to be harassed by my ex-husband?
That thought made cold fear spread through my body like ice crystalizing.
“Wait!” Ethan said, interrupting my panic. “I just remembered something.” He pointed to the small, dark lake to
the side of us. “Stop the car.
“Fine,” Alexander said and waved his hand dismissively. “You can stop the car, Gai.” Then, he turned to Ethan.
“This is the last stop. My patience is growing thin with this little adventure, but even more importantly, Olivia
needs to get hand rest.
My heart warmed from his last comment.
Instead of growing angry, Ethan ignored Alexander and faced me. “Please, just giveone last chance even
though | don’t deserve it. | just need your help finding something.”
| considered denying him outright and asking Alexander if we could leave him here. But a small part of me
thought that if | just went along with this final request, maybe I could get Ethan out of my life forever. Maybe |
was the one being delusional, but | would never forgive myself if | didn’t take this chance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBesides, | knew what he was looking for around this lake. Despite myself, | was a little intrigued to help him.
“Alright,” | grumbled.
Alexander frowned, but Ethan had the complete opposite reaction. His face lifted with hope, and I cursed myself
for agreeing. | knew that he was mistaking my sensitive heart for a chance that I could still love him. When |
gave Ethan an inch, he always mistook it for a
mile.

How could he not see that | was only agreeing to cwith him so that | could put an end to his exhausting
pursuit of my love? Besides, he didn’t actually love me. Honestly, | didn’t think that Ethan was capable of loving
anyone. He just wanted to ‘win’ my affections because he was a narcissist.
“We're all going,” Alexander said with a hard edge to his voice that made it obvious that there was no room for
argument.
Alexander got my crutches from the trunk and helpedout of the car. Ethan cup toand tried to wrap
his arm around my waist, but | instinctively leaned into Alexander's warm body. Even though we had our
problems, | always felt safe in his arms.
Gai’s eyes widened in surprise. She glanced down at where Alexander was holdingand then looked at Ethan,
who was shaking with barely suppressed anger.
“Alexander is very strong,” Gai explained. “I'm sure that’s why Olivia is leaning against him.”
“Yes, the last t| checked, | can lift three times my body weight,” Alexander said and smirked.
That didn’t help Ethan's temper.

Once the four of us were facing the small pond, Alexander reluctantly turned to Ethan. “Alright, let's get this over
