Hunting for His EX-Wife

However, Martha seemed not to feel the pain but gazed at him in shock, not understanding why he was suddenly furious.

The maids on duty standing aside felt worried for Martha. However, they were afraid of Stefan, so they dared not to utter a word.

Martha looked into his eyes and saw the unconcealed disgust in them, feeling a sharp pang in her heart.

She knew he was riled up because of Hollie, but she hadn’t done anything.

With resentment in her heart, Martha retorted, “Hollie left not because of me. Why are you taking it all out on me?”

“You don’t deserve to mention her name. Get out!”

His words were like a sharp dagger stabbing into Martha’s heart.

Ultimately, she gritted her teeth with reddened eyes, stormed into her room, and slammed the door shut.

How much she was worried about him earlier, how much she felt upset now.

Looking at the scalds on her arms, Martha closed her eyes slowly, feeling the tears. Later, she heard the door of the next room close and a bitter, mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

That night, she didn’t sleep at all.

The following day, she got up early to make him breakfast, thinking that he might feel guilty for her because of what happened last night.

However, after Stefan got up, he behaved as if nothing had happened the previous night, treating her like a stranger.

He didn’t have breakfast. When leaving the house, he brushed past her without apologizing for what he had done.

Recalling the past, Martha felt it absurd.

She couldn’t help laughing at her foolishness and feeling sorry as she had lost many things for loving him.

The rustling of clothes brought Martha back to the present from her scattered thoughts.

She slowly opened her eyes, looking aloof, without sorrow at all.

Then she saw Stefan sitting in the car. His side face had a sharp outline. Under the morning sun reflected in the rearview mirror, he looked like Apollo.

Suddenly, Martha withdrew her gaze and looked ahead.

Stefan glanced at her and said to the driver, “Drive.”

Martha was surprised that Hollie didn’t get in the car.

‘He called Hollie over, but he didn’t leave with her?’

After the engine started, Martha looked back slightly, only to find Hollie pitifully standing behind the car.

The way she acted disgusted Martha.

Years ago, she pretended to be like this to deceive her and Stefan.

Martha collected her thoughts and peeked out the window leisurely. “If I had known you asked her to come over, I wouldn’t have come here with you. The awkwardness could have been avoided. Why did you do so?” she remarked leisurely.

“Are you jealous?”

Martha’s frigid tone annoyed Stefan.

‘She thought he called Hollie over?’

‘But she didn’t sound jealous at all. Then why…’Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Frowning, Stefan gazed at her intensely and explained, “I didn’t call Hollie over. I also didn’t expect…”

“You don’t need to explain it to me. There’s no need for that,” Martha interrupted his words frigidly, watching the flashing landscapes outside the window.

No matter why Hollie had appeared in the cemetery, Martha didn’t care.

Anyway, she and Stefan would become strangers shortly after, so why bother?

Thinking of this, she moved closer to the car window, creating more space between them.

Stefan’s gaze turned cold. He felt a pang in his heart as if something had stabbed into his chest.

He wondered if Martha no longer cared about him now.
