I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Casey’s Got A Crush

Finished

Lois didn’t require Casey to report everything to her, Besides, Casey was already twenty. It was normal for him to have at crush. Since he specifically asked her not to tell his mother, she had no problem keeping it to herself.

Over the next few days, Casey practically treated her like his strategist, constantly asking what girls generally liked. She answered every question and even did some digging to learn more about the girl, making sure to give him the best advice.

She didn’t want Casey to be too clueless, charging in with behaviors or words that might scare the girl away.

Especially with that mouth of his, he had a habit of saying things that were a bit hard to tolerate. So she repeatedly reminded him to be a little sweeter with his words.

In the end, Casey gave her a look as if she were an idiot. T’m not stupid. I know how to talk to different people appropriately. I’m not just going to blurt things out and make myself unbearable.”

Ellis would never forget that Casey once called her dumb. Seeing him turn the tables and lecture her instead, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes. “Oh So you do know how to be sweet”

Of course!”

Seeing Casey proudly lift his chin, Ellis couldn’t hold back and rolled her eyes.

Who knew Casey would immediately say, “You’ve been married once already, and you still don’t know how to watch your mouth and speak sweetly in front of someone you like?”

Ellis suddenly lost interest in being his strategist. She couldn’t let Casey keep poking at her wounds so she had to strike back. “You know, just being sweet won’t guarantee you’ll win over the person you like. It still depends on whether they like you

back.

“Obviously! Don’t treat me like I’m some clueless little kid!”

Ellis said nothing. She reminded herself that her paycheck included a frustration fee. No point in arguing with Casey. She turned her head away, deciding to ignore him.

Unfortunately, Casey didn’t drop the topic. He kept talking to himself. “I made a great first impression. The foundation is there. As long as I keep performing well, I’ll definitely get my chance to pursue her.”

At that moment, Ellis felt like she was looking into a mirror.

Morty gave her the same feeling, same as Casey.

From the two of them, she saw her past self; how she put in the effort to make Easton her boyfriend and then her husband. This made her feel uncomfortable. There were people and things that kept reminding her of her stupid deeds that led to no good outcome.

your ex–husband pursue you? Did he ever do something wrong? How’s your experience?” Casey asked, making Ellis feel like he was uncovering her wounds. That fucker never pursued me; it was the other way round! I’ve always been the one taking

She tried her best but Easton pushed her away. Then, she would go back, and the same thing would repeat

She pinched the flesh on her thigh, unable to understand how she had ever let herself go that far. Love could make people blind, but in her case, she had completely abandoned her self–respect.

Back when she was Easton’s secret lover, without status or a name, she was nothing more than his tool in bed, called upon and dismissed at will.

For nearly two years, their meetings had mostly taken place in bed. At best, they would share a meal before or after, just to stretch out the time spent together.

Expressionless, she said, “I was the one chasing him. He was the one being pursued. I have no advice to give, so don’t ask me.”

Ellis felt that if Casey kept talking, she’d end up punching bien just to shut him up about reopening her old wounds. At the some time, she was thinking if she ever agreed to Easton’s proposal for remarriage, she’d never forgive herself. So, the further Easton stayed away from her, the better!

And when she did decide to start dating again, her next boyfriend would have absolutely nothing in common with Easton She would find someone who always took her side, cherished her, cared for her, and, most importantly, had a sweet mouth!

She had to admit, Casey was pretty good at pursuing girls. It wasn’t long before Ellis heard that he had made progress. The girl had agreed to have dinner with him.

Their first official date was an important milestone, and as his self–proclaimed strategist, she should’ve been helping him plan every detail.

But Casey didn’t need her help. Instead, he dropped a piece of news on her that was nothing short of a nightmare. “I told my mom I wanna stay here independently for a while.”

She caught the point quickly. Independently? Doesn’t that mean he doesn’t need my care anymore?

Ellis felt hopeless. “Then…”

“Book a flight and leave tomorrow?” Casey said before she could finish.
