Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 920:

Conroy’s face darkened as he approached her, frustration evident in his tone. “Why did you bring him? How many times have I told you this wasn’t okay?”

Addie dismissed him with a carefree wave. “My boyfriend wanted to come along. What was I supposed to do?”

Conroy’s voice dropped lower, tinged with irritation. “This is a class reunion. Is your boyfriend part of our class?”

Addie shrugged, unfazed. “Just ignore him.”

She swept past Conroy as though his words didn’t matter, dragging her boyfriend along. Since he was here, Conroy couldn’t simply drive him away.

Aurora sympathized with Conroy. She understood his frustration, but this was Addie’s nature. She always needed to steal the spotlight, regardless of the occasion.

A crowd quickly gathered around Addie, eager to hear about her enviable love life.

“I met him while traveling abroad,” she said with a self-satisfied smile. “Isn’t he gorgeous? He flew all the way here just to see me. Can you believe that?”

Feigning modesty, she added, “Oh, no, I’m not that irresistible.”

As Addie basked in the attention, her gaze suddenly landed on Aurora. Her lips curved into a sly grin. “Hey, Aurora, where’s Rickey? Why are you all by yourself tonight?”

Aurora had already come to terms with the fact that Rickey was no longer part of her life.

But in this crowded space, surrounded by laughter and chatter, a sudden loneliness crept in.

Someone patted Addie on the shoulder. “Rickey’s gone abroad.”

“I see.” Addie simply nodded, lifting a glass of juice to her lips. She glanced at Aurora, a wicked smirk spreading across her face. “Don’t be sad, Aurora. Even if Rickey dumped you, it doesn’t mean you’re not good enough. There are plenty of other great guys out there.”

“Dumped me?” Aurora’s voice was calm. “Rickey and I are just friends.”

“Oh, please.” Addie covered her mouth with a teasing laugh. “Doesn’t everyone know you two were a couple? You must’ve been together for quite some time. It’s a shame you broke up.”

In that moment, no one came to Aurora’s defense.

Aurora suddenly realized that maybe Addie wasn’t the only one who thought that way.

“If you miss him so much, should I give him a call now so you can say hi?”noveldrama

Addie’s smile faltered for a moment, before a thought crossed her mind. With the time difference between here and abroad, Rickey was likely still asleep.

She regained her composure, her tone dismissive. “Why are you in such a rush? You didn’t know Rickey was going abroad, did you? Now you’re angry at me because he dumped you?”

Conroy, who had been silent until now, couldn’t hold back any longer. “Addie, can you just be quiet for a second?”

Addie paused, taking a sip of her drink, then shrugged with feigned innocence. “Did I say anything wrong?”

To others, this might have seemed like a trivial matter.
