He's my (Former) wife

Mr. President Director

A gust of breath came out of Isabelle's mouth after pulling her so deeply, I don't know she felt like she was lacking oxygen right now, especially after setting foot in front of the Xander Group building.

Several times his mind changed not to go to the place, but he was increasingly desperate because of the short message that Chen-si always sent the company secretary.

Isabelle felt it was a terror for her, but the man named Chen just gave a growing offer so she wanted to sell the flower shop she owned.

The sound of shoes with short heels, combined with marble floors that reflect young women with long hair and beautiful faces.

Isabelle Aringwyn walked over doubtfully. Of course no one will know if the woman is restless and also anxious. The company was like the scariest place for him right now.

Undeniably, the woman's guts shriveled with a body that seemed unable to stand on her own feet.

"I should be able to. For my Michael!" Isabelle was only able to strengthen herself and her determination because she remembered the handsome little one she had entrusted to the nanny of trust.

One month ago, she was forced to hire a nanny to look after three-month-old Michael-si.

All Isabelle had to do was because she had to work. Actually he did not want to leave his little angel, other than because of not having the heart, Michael also still needed his milk.

As a single parent, she is unable to double as a father and mother to her baby. Isabelle could only divide the time between day and night to keep doing her duties and responsibilities as both.

A little sad when remembering he had to fight alone even when going to give birth to his beloved little angel.

"Mrs, have you come?!" Isabelle's reverie about the son was soon sidetracked by the greeting of a teary-eyed man with an oriental face typical of the eastern part of the world.

"Mr Chen!" Isabelle answered doubtfully. The woman just nodded.

"Mr President there's an important meeting. You can wait if you don't mind" said Chen, the man was so polite with a good-natured and suave look sincere.

Isabelle nodded back, she was not good if she had to be bad or not make a good impression on the man. He realized Chen was just doing the job with all his heart.

"Is Mr Miguel Xander still a long time?" isabelle asked Chen, actually he did not want to linger in the place just to meet the former in-laws. I hope that man doesn't recognize him.

"The meeting started an hour ago, it may be over soon" Chen replied.

Isabelle nodded again, she decided to wait because she wanted to immediately settle all affairs with the ruler of Xander Group.

The woman hoped that everything would be finished quickly so that she would not have to return or set foot again in the place.

...

For nearly thirty minutes Isabelle waited impatiently. Every time he saw the circular watch on his left wrist, why did the small hand of the watch seem to show no meaningful movement.

Wiggling the legs is done Isabelle as a distraction from nervousness and fear. Somehow the air supply in the company lobby was exhausted making the young woman feel crowded.

Isabelle turned her attention to the people who had just stepped out of the elevator. It looks like the Xander Group employees are taking a lunch break. Given that Isabelle was very sorry for not coming early.

He was only afraid of meeting a lot of people there. What if someone recognizes him as a con man who has manipulated his marriage to Jake.

Jake's?

Isabelle just remembered, what if she met Jake at that place? What else is worse than that? Isabelle can't imagine Jake's hateful gaze that will never forget all the mistakes he's made.

"Mrs, Master is waiting for you! Please follow me!" Chen's voice revived Isabelle's mind a second time. The woman could not focus as she kept thinking about the possibility that would happen.

Chen guided Isabelle to follow her into the elevator door. Maybe the director's office is on a fairly high floor according to his position.

Isabelle felt her stomach twisting, she was nervous and anxious. Does the father of her ex-husband know who she is? Someone with a high position and has a busy life, can take time for someone who can be said to be unimportant.

'Sir Director is willing to take the time for you.'

Chen's words were still ringing in the ears of the mother of one child. If it were true like that Isabelle could only guess that something less good would happen to her.

"Wait a minute!" pinta Chen after arriving at the director's door.

Chen knocked then opened the door after getting permission from the person inside. Isabelle wanted to run, but she was already unable to retreat.

After Chen's departure, young lady Isabelle stood up for a moment and knocked on the door.

"Get in!!"

Deg ...

A voice made Isabelle a little petrified, she still did not feel sure to enter because of her fear.

With trembling hands he pushed the door knob slowly, not even making a sound as it seemed like the door was always getting good care.

"Happy afternoon, Sir!" Isabelle's nervous soft voice broke the silence after tens of seconds she just stood in front of the director's desk with someone sitting behind her.

Isabelle was still waiting for a reaction from a man who was at home staring at the window. Maybe Isabelle will be offended because the man's attitude is not polite when welcoming guests, it's if the shop is normal and not a Xander that he faced.

Isabelle was putting aside her insignificant feelings at the moment. He was just thinking of immediately ending the negotiations planned by himself and that person.

"Excuse me in advance, but can you stop bidding for the florist I own? I won't sell it anytime!" Isabelle tries to open the conversation first because she can't stand to leave.

"Even if you buy it at a high price I won't give it to you!" isabelle for the second time.

"really?" Isabelle's body froze with perfectly rounded eyes at the same time as the man turned the chair.

Time stopped for Isabelle as the tall, well-built man moved from his seat. Isabelle's breathing also faltered suddenly, while the man stepped definitely around the table and approached Isabelle.

"I didn't think you'd dare come here just to defend a treasure." A heavy voice typical of a man with such a cold tone.

"Have you lost your memory or have you never known our name?" The man again asked with great emphasis.

Isabelle is not a stupid woman who is insensitive, she understands all the words of the man who is none other than an ex-husband on paper aka Jake Xander Ryan.

The man is just insinuating and Isabelle is well aware that she is such a shameless person for still daring to come after what she did to Jake and his family.

"If you don't intend to sell then there is another way to keep owning it. Hows it? Do you agree, Mrs Aringwyn?" asked Jake with a cynical smile.

"Do I have to call you, my ex-wife?!" Isabelle's eyes look well. He doesn't want to drip it, not for now.

Isabelle held something stuck in her throat. She could not even answer the question of her ex-husband.

"Your shop is on land owned by Xander Group. So think! If I don't want to be prosecuted for occupying our land, then I can offer another way to keep it." Jake said at length.

"I bought it from the bank. No third party intervened" Isabelle replied in a trembling voice. He was desperate and did not know what to do.

Regardless of the land issue, there were still other unfinished problems between them. Isabelle was scared when she suddenly remembered her little baby.

"Date twenty-seven, last December our side sent some money to the account on behalf of Isabelle Aringwyn for the purchase of a large amount of land." Jake smiled wryly and cynically especially when he saw the nervousness on Isabelle's body gesture.

"Three days before you get divorced with your husband" Jake continued.

"In conclusion, the land is ours, you can be prosecuted for two frauds and you can be thrown in jail." Isabelle closed her eyes, and she couldn't hear it.

"I'll give you time, three days from now please think of our offer!" jake said, drawing closer to Isabelle, "do you understand that?" whispered.

There were no more formal words from Jake's mouth, really he didn't understand, why a woman as beautiful as Isabelle had such evil thoughts on her.

Yes, the inner Jake admits the look of Isabelle is so charming especially she is so young with their age gap is quite far.

Jake doesn't know what the motive behind Isabelle's lies is to him, but Jake will find out because he won't let Isabelle go. Of course he was planning something that would make Isabelle's life not easy anymore.

TB

Well, the richness of destiny will change because every human being always has mistakes ... Including Jake ...

See you next chapter ...

I Love You all 🌺🌺🌺
