Easton couldn’t hide the crack in his voice, his emotions spiralled out of control. He couldn’t accept her indifference and avoidance.
She had clearly misunderstood his relationship with Victoria or a long time, why had she never said anything about
Had her only concern been whether she could hold on to the tie of Mrs. Hudson?
As for whether he had been involved with other women, she couldn’t care less.
“Are you out of your mind?” Ellis frowned at her ex–husband. “Why would I go see Victoria with you? Whether you cheated with her or not, I honestly don’t care.”
That heart–wrenching period was behind her. She couldn’t care less about what her scumbag ex was doing or who he was cheating with now.
Besides, she had better things to do than waste her time listening to Victoria make excuses for him.
Everything about their behavior screamed that her ex had been unfaithful during their marriage and Victoria had been all too eager to take her place. They were just a shameless pair of homewreckers.
“Didn’t you ever worry that Victoria might take your place as Mrs. Hudson?” Easton still remembered the day Ellis slapped Victoria across the face and stormed out of his office in a rage.
Thinking back on that moment, his emotions settled.
She must have cared.
She must have had real feelings for him once… right?
Hearing her ex–husband’s question, Ellis felt her face darken.
She seriously doubted…
No, scratch that, she had every reason to believe!
In her er’s eyes, did he really think she was some shallow, status–obsessed woman?
She wanted to be his girlfriend, his wife, and eventually the mother of his children, was he seriously thinking it was all just for his money? That without his wealth, she wouldn’t have cared at all?
That was why he kept bringing up material things. He had even asked her once if she had ever really loved him.
And now, when he mentioned the title of “Mrs. Hudson,” he hadn’t been talking about love or loyalty, he meant the status and perks that came with it. Did he seriously think what she had worried about was someone taking that away from her, rather than someone stealing him away from her?
Facing her ex–husband, who was still waiting for an answer, Ellis looked away. She couldn’t be bothered to respond.

She couldn’t stand being reminded of it over and over again!
Especially when the person reminding her was her ex–husband!
It felt like reliving the humiliation all over again.
After a brief silence, when no answer came, Easton pressed, “Ellis, say something.”
Finished
“Say what? Whatever you want to hear?” Ellis sneered, er red lips curling in mockery. “Think whatever you want. I couldn’t care less.“”
Her ex–husband had never valued her love, in fact, he’d humiliated her more than once. Why should she bother answering him now?
Digging up
her painful past just to satisfy his curiosity? There was nothing in it for her.
“Forget it.” Seeing her resistance, Easton didn’t push further.
The answer didn’t really matter.
“Was one of the reasons you wanted a divorce because you thought I was cheating with Victoria?” he asked, unconsciously stepping closer, studying her face intently.
her.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know,” she snapped, jabbing her finger hard against Easton’s chest. “You know exactly what you did.”
“I didn’t cheat with Victoria! You’ve got it all wrong!” Easton insisted once again.
Even back before the divorce, when her ex had sworn the same thing. Ellis never believed him. She had still foolishly held on to some hope, thinking that maybe, just maybe, one day she could make him fall in
