I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237 No Love for the Lovelorn

“No need to bother anyone else.”

Ellis still refused, then hopped into a taxi and left.

Morty stood alone where she had been just moments before, openly following the taxi she w

in until it vanished from sight.

Being a lawyer involves its unique demands; it’s not always possible to take weekends off, and working overnight or through the weekend on urgent cases is not unusual. Maya, who had headed our early in the morning to gather evidence in a neighboring city, suddenly received a call from Morty

major

How did Morty get my contact information? Why was he reaching out to me? Even though Nexus Group had become a client for the law firm. Morty wasn’t involved in that aspect of the business.

Setting aside work–related matters, Maya couldn’t think of any personal reasons Morty might have to contact her.

Upon hearing from Morty about the harrowing day his good friend had endured. Maya couldn’t focus on the evidence she had halfway gathered and rushed back to Stonebri

When she saw Ellis looking downeast, Maya gently pinched her chin,

Caught off guard by Maya’s sudden gesture, Ellis blinked, “What are you doing?”

Examining her friend’s bright and delicate face to make sure it wasn’t disfigured, Maya couldn’t help but exclaim. “Your beautiful face has really been through the wringer this year. First, Bree almost scratched it beyond recognition, and now someone has swollen it up!”

Ellis was stunned; she too felt she had been through a lot. This year was just unlucky! She couldn’t wait for the new year to shake off this bad luck and turn things around

Letting go of Ellis’s chin, Maya sat directly across from her, interrogating like a cop. “You didn’t tell me about what happened. today: Morty did. Can you tell me what’s going on with you guys?”

“Everything’s been dealt with. I was going to wait till you got back tomorrow to tell you.” Remembering the day’s events, Ellis hugged a pillow to her chest for some semblance of security.

“That Morty knew before me makes me feel like a bad friend,” Maya said, somewhat bothered that she wasn’t as informed as Morty, feeling like she ranked lower in Ellis’s heart.

Tve realized something.”

Ellis’s slow speech, combined with her expression, made Maya perk up immediately. She made a show of clearing her ears, signaling she was all cars.

“I think Morty likes me.” As Ellis voiced her suspicion, her toes curled on the floor.

“What?” Maya’s volume spiked, “We were talking about you getting hit, why are we suddenly on Morty liking you?”

Could it be I have misunderstood? Ellis wasn’t sure either. But after parting ways with Morty earlier that day and mulling it over, that was the conclusion she reached.

Otherwise, how could I explain Morty’s odd behavior?

“I’m not being narcissistic, I have reasons, Ellis insisted, counting off Morty’s actions from the day on her fingers

After hearing everything. Maya was stunned. She had joked before about Morty sending Ellis flowers, thinking he was pursuing her.

The joke turned into reality, and Maya was like a statue.

Seeing Maya’s stunned look, Ellis poked her, “So, do you still think I’m being narcissistic?”

When a man showed such diligence and concern towards a woman, claiming he was just being friendly and helpful was a lie even a kid wouldn’t believe.
