Post-Divorce Chaos My Ex-Husband’s Breakdown

Chapter 25

Matthew didn’t say anything more. He fixed his brown eyes on Nadia’s face and asked, “Are you sick?”

Nadia shook her head subconsciously. “No. I’m really just not used to the climate here. Also, I’ve been busy recently and don’t have time to cook myself. That’s why I haven’t eaten much and lost weight.

Matthew looked up at Gloraxy Hotel outside the window and then back at Nadia. “I ask the hotel kitchen to send you food every day in the future. It’s authentic Gremonese food, and the chef is also from Gremone. You would like it.”

“There’s no need” Nadia refused sofily. “I don’t have many classes later. I can cook by myself. You don’t have to bother”

Matthew replied, “It’s nothing h’s just food.

As he spoke, he took out his phone and was about to make a call, but Nadia stopped him. “Don’t, Matthew

Matthew turned to look at her.

Nadia also raised her head slightly to look at him. She said very quietly. “We’re divorced. Don’t be like this”

Matthew returned her gaze o calmly and remained motionless

Nadia met his eyes motionlessly too. Her gaze was gentle but determined.

It was rare for her to look at him so determinedly. Matthew remembered that the last time she looked at him like this was after they had just made love. She was still lying in his arms weakly, and he could still feel how “Manhew, let’s get a divorce.”

warm she was. She looked at Matthew in the same way and whispered to him,

Matthew turned slightly and stopped looking at her.

Nadia saw that Matthew’s jawline tightened slightly from the side, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down violently. It was as if he was trying his best to control his emotions.

She looked at Manhew somewhat strangely. They had been together for such a long time, but it was rare for her to see Matthew being so emotional He was calm and tolerant at all times. It was as if he could not feel sorrow, joy, rage, or pain. He was like an exiled immortal who had fallen to this world a long time ago, and he was indifferent to emotions and desires. He couldn’t feel the emotions and desires that an ordinary person would

feel

However, this ensational change only laste

only lasted for a moment. When Matthew looked at Nadia again, his expression was already as calm as ever. “It’s up

Nadia smiled. “Okay”

She whispered to him again, “Thank you”

Matthew didn’t answer. His face was expressionless, and he still seemed cold.

Nadia did not say anything else. The familiar silence once again pervaded the narrow space.

In the past, when they were still married, Nadia was good at dealing with this kind of silence, which could be broken as they went back to doing their own things and left each other alone. At that time, they were still married, so there was no need for them to be too careful with each other. Bur now, Nadia was the host, and Matthew was her guest Nadia could not be as at ease as she was when they were still married, but she really did not know how to deal with Matthew, who looked like he was in a bad mood. Just as Nadia was thinking about how she could break the silence, the doorbell rang

to answer the door. Sit and make yourself comfortable for now Nadia said. She turned and was about to leave, but remembered the check- up report in the basket on the coffee table. Afraid that Matthew would see it, she pretended that she did not want to let her guest see the mess at home and put away her coat, scarf, and bag that she had hung casually away. Then, Nadia went over to the coffee table to pick up the basket and the miscellaneous things in the TV cabinet and stuffed them into the wardrobe. She smoothed her hair quickly as if she was afraid whoever it was ouride the door would see how messy her apartment was. After everything was ready, she walked over to the door and yelled “Coming“.

From begiming to end, Matthew just stood rooted with his arms crossed in front of his chest as he watched Nadia tidy up the apartment busily and nervously. When Nadia reached the door, he finally asked, “Who is it at your door? Why are you so nervous?”

Nadia didn’t know who it was outside the door. She was so busy just to hide her intention to hide the report. She lived alone at home and had no guests, so she didn’t think much about putting the report away carelessly. She never expected to bump into Matthew halfway across the world today.

“Maybe it’s my classmate, Nadia answered

casually. She opened the door and was stunned when she saw Darrell outside her door. Matthew noticed her pause and glanced at her. His gaze swept past her shoulder and looked out the door. When he saw Darrell

focused on Nadia that

that he did not notice Matthew in the room.

“Kathleen just called me and said that you went to the hospital in the afternoon…”

The words “hospital” made Nadia push him instinctively. “Let’s go outside first.”

After that, she closed the door behind her quickly.

Matthew’s face fell suddenly. He looked away from the closed door slightly to calm himself down.

Darrell was a little surprised by Nadia’s sudden move. He looked up into Nadia’s apartment, but Nadia had already closed the door and blocked his sight

Nadia pushed him to the stairs far away from the door. After making sure that Matthew couldn’t hear them, she stopped. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sorry.” Nadia said apologetically.

Darrell glanced at the tightly closed door behind her and looked at her. “Did something happen?”

“I’m fine,” Nadia replied and looked at him. “By the way, why are you here

Darrell looked at her. “Kathleen said that you weren’t feeling well at noon and went to the hospital. She was busy with work then and didn’t have time to contact you. Later, she texted you but you didn’t reply and didn’t answer your phone either. She was worried that something had happened to you, so she asked me to come and take a lookTM

“It’s my fault I just bumped into a friend and didn’t have time to reply to her texts. I’m fine, Nadia looked at him. “May I borrow your phone? So that I can call her back”

Darrell nodded and gave Nadia his phone.

“Thank you.” Nadia took his phone and called Kathleen back. As soon as the phone rang, Kathleen picked it up almost immediately. “Hello? Darrell? Did you see her? Is Nadia all right?”

“It’s me. Kathleen. Nadia interrupted her in a low voice. I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

“Where have you been all this time? You made me so nervous. Kathleen couldn’t hold back anymore when she suddenly heard Nadia’s voice. “You didn’t reply to my texts or answer my calls. Do you know how worried I was? You went to the hospital like that alone at noon and didn’t even get someone to go with

1 you…”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t check my phone.” Nadia felt very guilty and comforted her in a soft voice. I’m really fine. I just met Matthew in the afternoon and didn’t check my phone in time

“Huh?” Kathleen was stunned. “You met Matthew?”

Kathleen’s voice was quite loud and Darrell, who was beside Nadia, also heard it. He could not help but glance at Nadia and then slowly looked at the tightly closed door.

In the apartment, Matthew was in the same posture he was in when Nadia went out just now, and his brown eyes were fixed on a certain place in the corner of the room. However, he was yet to calm down, and the closed door remained shut.

Matthew turned to glance at the door, raised his arm to look at the time, stepped forward, and opened the door.

Darrell happened to be looking over in this direction. Their eyes met in the air. There was not much emotion in their eyes. They just looked at each other quietly from a short distance
