I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Moving Out and Moving On

Finished

“What do you mean you came over because I was already asleep? Stop twisting the facts Ellis closed her eyes briefly, trying to stave off the darkness encroaching on her vision. I don’t want to waste my words on you. Get out, now!”

Seeing that Ellis wanted nothing to do with him and not even a second longer, a profound sense of irritation swept over Easton. He felt adrift, like a lone soul floating endlessly in the ocean, unable to pinpoint what was wrong

Easton didn’t move or speak, but Ellis couldn’t afford to be late for work. She ignored settling scores for now and got ready at lightning speed, swiftly finishing her morning routine.

By the time she was about to leave for the office, it seemed the deadbeat had vanished from her home. Had he left?

Any more delays and she’d be late. With Easton’s presence still fresh in her mind, she hurried out the door.

In fact, Easton hadn’t left the neighborhood of Sunshine Estates.

He sat in his car parked by the roadside, watching as Ellis rushed to hail a cab. His gloom subsided, replaced by a vague longing he couldn’t quite grasp.

After work. Ellis dragged Maya to look at houses, which puzzled Maya.

Ellis had only been living in her current house for four months, with a year–long lease. Why think about moving now?

Handing Ellis a bottle of water she’d bought on the way, Maya reminded her, “Breaking the lease means losing your security deposit! Can’t you stick it out for a year and get your deposit back?”

“I can’t stand it for another day!” The deadbeat had once remarked that her place wasn’t safe, which Ellis had shrugged off. Today, she felt it was indeed very unsafe.

“Did you end up with a nightmare neighbor?” Maya instinctively thought troublesome neighbors were why Ellis wanted to

move.

In modern residential buildings, where people live stacked on top of each other, poor soundproofing means even minor noises from neighbors can penetrate one’s home. If unfortunate enough to have nightmare neighbors, noise disturbances. become a daily torture, quickly driving anyone to anger.

“It’s not the neighbors; it’s my shameless ex–husband

Mentioning Easton, Ellis’s face twisted with anger, recounting the morning’s events to Maya with visible rage.

After listening. Maya was first silent, then dumbfounded, incredulously asking. “Your ex broke into your house in the middle of the night to sleep beside you?”

It sounded like something out of a legal drama or a sensational news story!

Ellis rolled her eyes uncontrollably. “Yes, he’s that crazy.”

“What the heck! Aren’t you supposed to never see each other again after a divorce?” Maya had never seen such behavior in real life. “What was his purpose?”

“The man’s a complete nutcase.” Ellis couldn’t make sense of Easton’s antics. Thinking back over the month since their divorce, every action of his seemed off. “Could he actually be mentally ill?

“Having an ex who could snap at any moment, aren’t you in danger?” Maya said, somewhat concerned.
