I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 269

Chapter 268 Coffee and Confessions

Easton spoke slowly and clearly; it was hard for Ellis to misunderstand him even if she tried. But seriously, what was going on

Out of the blue, he was here apologizing and saying that the prenup and leaving her with nothing were too much. What was

Easton, a man who had cheated during their marriage, couldn’t possibly have had a sudden attack of conscience, realizing he was in the wrong.

“Oh Her tone dripped with disinterest, her face saying, let’s see what you’ve got. “And then?”

“About redistributing the assets, I was thinking… Easton pointed towards the cafe sign. “Maybe we should discuss this over coffee? It’s not really suitable to talk about this kind of thing standing out here on the street.”

“Assets? It wasn’t your mom who sent you, was it?” Ellis couldn’t help but speculate, given Easton’s mention of redistributing assets–it seemed like something Sophia would do.

“Despite the scars from her marriage with Easton, it was undeniable that from any angle, Sophia was a good mother–in–law. She had always been kind to her, making Easton occasionally joke that Ellis was more like Sophia’s own child than he was

She wished she was Sophia’s child, but unfortunately, she wasn’t. She wasn’t foolish enough to think she mattered more to Sophia than Easton did.

“Can we go to the cafe and talk for a bit? I won’t take much of your time.”

Easton suggested the cafe again, and Ellis gave him a cold look.

Tve already told you, I don’t care about you or your money! Whatever your reasons for acting like you’re generously throwing money my way, I’m not taking a dime.”

now wary of everyone

Ellis wasn’t the same as before, after so many lessons learned the hard way from Easton. She was now w except Maya, especially her morally dubious ex–husband; her guard was up to the maximum.

Considering his past actions that had almost trapped her in a quagmire she nearly couldn’t escape from, she was unlikely ever to let her guard down or forgive him

If it weren‘: for the taxiinot having arrived yet and him blocking her way near her office, where she didn’t want to embarrass herself. she would have slapped him right across the face without asecond thought, not just hitting his chest or some other

part

Seeing the girl’s demeanor, Easton knew he couldn’t sway her with money, so he asked, “If not money, then what do you

want?”

His heart felt like it was being squeezed uncomfortably as her definitive, icy words came out, making the color drain from his lips.

Easton apologized again for the kidnapping, and Ellis looked like she was hearing a joke, a hint of scorn on her face.

It was a tough task to make someone accustomed to looking down on the world from above understand what the last straw

Even if the incident where she and Victoria were kidnapped and he had to choose between them, choosing Victoria without caring about her own life and death, hadn’t happened, other issues would have eventually become the last straw.

At the end of the day, no one can endure being loved unilaterally forever, not having their love cherished or reciprocated- it’s a terrifying and hopeless suffocation.

Who doesn’t want their efforts to be reciprocated? With Easton, she never got that.
