Chapter 58

Summer Frost POV

“Hit I have an offer for you. Let’s meet and discuss’

“My Mom has been suffering stage two lung cancer for months. Can you please save her?”

I’m willing to pay any amount of money. Can you please save my husband?

These were a few out of the tons of emails I’ve gotten over the couple of days that my identity was revealed, and it was draining as I didn’t expect it to be

The last three days have been hectic, and having to move around trying to conceal my identity in order not to attract attention was even more draining.

“Ma’am, should I cancel your appointments for tomorrow also?” I read through the text Miguel just texted me. I had no idea how long I’d have to lie low, but w

t cancelling on patients like this was not a good idea.

“I will let you know first thing tomorrow morning. You should get some rest’ I replied to his text and dropped my phone on the bedside table. Just like since years that we’ve been working together, Miguel was still this competent assistant I knew would be difficult to get anywhere. Not when everyone are not trustworthy and dedicated these days.

“Xander’ Lexhaled when he crossed my mind. It has been a couple of days since I last heard from him, and though I didn’t want to get worked up about it, I could not help myself

‘Come on, Summer. You told him not to show up in your presence’ I had reminded myself several times about that, but it was still difficult to accept. How could he not come to me just because I asked him not to?

‘Do you have self-respect at all?” I bit my lip and throw my head back. I was supposed to cut my feelings for him after I found out about what happened, but the fact that I was trying to justify his action was really crazy, right?

It wasn’t his fault. He was just emotional. He loved you so much and you know it. He did that because his Mom instigated everything. He would never have done anything to hurt you had it been that didn’t happen’ Those were the crazy thoughts that has been going on in my mind for a couple of days even though I knew it didn’t make sense. He could have done something about it, yeah? He could have hear me out and not throw me out instead, right? He could have trusted me, right? I knew there were still other options as that, but still, it was hard to

“He loved you too much. That was why he reacted that way. He was just disappointed’ Again, my heart tried to justify his action.

“I missed you so much. I really do, I had to admit it because it was already killing me slowly inside. I desperately wanted to see him as much as I didn’t want to see him. The feeling is crazy.

My phone started to ring, and I hesitated before I reached for it, but my heart flustered when I realized that the caller was Xander.

My heart raced in my chest as I held my phone in my hand tightly, contemplating on whether or not I should answer the call. I didn’t want to look to him like I was desperate even though I knew I was, but f**k it!

“Why would a man call his ex-wife at this add hour of the night?” I rolled my eyes after I answered the call,

“Summer I thought you were not going to answer the phone,” I heard him sigh, and i scoffed silently.

“You didn’t call to tell me that, did you?” i rested my back on the dressing chair and played with strands of my hair, unable to hold back my smiles.

“Can we see, please? I’m outside your gate… Can you please spare me some time?” He sounded so desperate like he really needed to see me urgently, so

Istrode over to the window and peeped outside since I could see the parking lot and outside the gate from my room. He was right. His car was parked right outside the gate, and he was just standing there with his hand on his forehead like a lost man.

“You didn’t wake me up from my precious sleep for that, right?” I scoffed, but deep inside me, I wanted to run downstairs and meet him there. I wanted to run into his arms and tell him how much I’ve missed him, I wanted to scold him for not calling or coming to see me all this while

“Please, Summer. Just spare me a few minutes,” He pleaded with a raspy voice, and I bit my lip as I walked back to the bed after I closed my window.

“don’t know what this is about, but I think you should leave. I don’t want to see you,” It was so hard to tell him that, but I did. Running in to his arms was the last thing I’d do though my heart really wanted that.

“It’s cold outside. You can’t leave him there to freeze’ I told myself as the urge to go meet him became even stronger, but I had to remind myself that it was a b o cold that night that he threw me out and he never came to me.

My phone beeped and a text popped on the screen.

Tim not going to leave until I see you. I’ll be waiting I scoffed after I read the text from Xander. Is he trying to blackmail with that? Who cares?

“You care, Summer,

r. You know you do’ My subconscious mind reminded me, and I breathed out. Fine! I care about that, but I won’t go to him. I really

won’t

Forcing myself to sleep turned out to be more taxing than I had expected, but it eventually worked after I took my mind off everything which included the thought of Xander. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was just a few minutes to 3am by the time I woke up to go to the restroom as I felt really pressed, but coming back into the room, I met my phone screen light on with a text notification on the screen.

I was just going to ignore it and go back to sleep, but since I developed the habit of checking my phone whenever I got a text, I picked it up and unlocked it. I was stunned upon seeing the series of missed calls from Miguel which got me really worried.

I’m sorry for disturbing your sleep, ma’am. I think a reporter is stalking you. I woke up in the night and saw a car parked outside the gate with a strange man inside” I hurried over to the window as soon as I read the text, and I was shocked to find Xander was still there.

“Should I call 911, ma’am?” Came another text from Miguel.

“Don’t worry about that and go back to sleep. It’s someone I know. I will handle it’ After I replied to his text, I didn’t think twice reaching for my hoodie from my closet.

I got another text from Miguel as I hurried down the walkway seconds later.

“You can’t go out this late even if it’s someone you know, ma’am. I will handle it I was already hurrying down the staircase by the time I finished reading his text, but no way I was going to stay another second inside the house.

What the hell do you think you are doing. Xander?” I snapped at him as soon as I arrived outside the gate and found him sitting inside his car with the windows wined down…
