I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 Late–Night Messages

Finished

After freshening up. Ellis comfortably rolled around in bed, preparing to shut down her phone and go to sleep when a text from a familiar number popped up.

“Move to a different city; don’t stick around in Stonebridge. I’d hate to bump into my ungrateful ex–wife one of these days.”

The message was from Easton! This guy really knew how to stir up trouble.

Their legal ties as husband and wife were dissolved; they were strangers now, walking on separate paths under the same sky. She hadn’t even tried to make her presence felt around him, and yet here he was, suggesting she move cities as if he’d be unlucky just by running into her. Had he no shame at all to say such a thing?

She swiftly deleted the message and re–added the number to her blacklist, which she’d forgotten to set last time, then, Ellis carried on as if nothing had happened.

She didn’t know what crazy idea had struck that scumbag in the middle of the night, but he had no right to demand she leave Stonebridge, and she certainly didn’t owe him the courtesy of a reply. Engaging with that deadbeat would bring her nothing bur bad luck.

Once her phone was off, she quickly drifted off to sleep, entering her dreams blissfully.

Meanwhile, on the roadside, Easton, having sent the text, occasionally glanced at his phone, wondering if Ellis would respond. Yet, the phone remained silent. Is she asleep and has seen my message?

Just as the thought crossed his mind, he checked his watch–it was past one in the morning, a time when most were already asleep. For some reason, he found himself looking forward to her response after she woke up.

Knowing her, her reply would surely be scathing, definitely not mincing words. Oddly enough, he was curious to see if she’d picked up any new insults.

With a mix of irritation and a barely–there anticipation, Easton started his car and drove straight to the office.

Sitting at his desk, he glanced at the spot where a wedding photo with Ellis once sat; now, it was conspicuously empty, Unaccustomed to the change, he felt an impulse to walk over to Ellis’s office.

He remembered she had also kept their wedding photo in her office.

However, as he entered, there was no sign of the photo, the office looked so untouched it seemed as if no one had ever worked there. Ellis’s presence was nearly gone, and he instinctively furrowed his brows.

Jackson, Mr. Hudson is looking for you” he was informed as soon as he arrived at work.

Nodding to acknowledge, Jackson felt a premonition of doom as his subordinate hesitated to speak further.

With his heart racing, Jackson wondered if Easton had come to the office much earlier than him or if some urgent matter had

Steeling himself, he walked to Easton’s office and knocked, waiting for a response.

The response was curt, almost like a death sentence. With trepidation, he pushed open the door.

While the first question seemed straightforward enough, reducing Jackson’s anxiety slightly, the second question threw him off Is Mr. Hudson planning to instruct the cleaning staff through me about clearing out Ellis’s office?
