My Ex-Wife is So Beautiful

A knock on the door drew Jared’s attention away from his memories. “I came over because I spotted light in your room,” Makenna stated as she walked in. She had put on perfume and her dark blue robe was loosely wrapped over her body, showing her fair and smooth collarbone. She looked and smelled enticing.

She moved in close to Jared, saying, “I made you this. It’s refreshing,” as she placed the drink on the table.

“I’m done. I found this when I was looking for ink just now,” Jared said, pointing to the drawers full of letters. “Look at all these letters we exchanged.”

When Makenna saw those letters, her heart skipped a beat. “It’s been almost six years and you’re still keeping it,” she said, trying to mask her uneasiness behind a grin.

“These are priceless memories,” said Jared.

Because she was the first woman he fell in love with. Jared thought as he softly stroked those letters.

“I’m here with you now,” Makenna hugged Jared, “You don’t need those letters anymore. Why don’t you toss them away?”

She went on because Jared had not responded, “Let us now live a decent life; we don’t need to exchange letters anymore; let the past be history, or do you still want to exchange letters only? You don’t want to be with me, do you?”

Looking at her sad expression, Jared felt his heart throbbed, and he agreed that those letters were no longer necessary now that Makenna was in his life.

“All right,” Jared replied as he stroked her hair, “I’ll have the maid take care of them tomorrow.”

“Okay!” The scent on Jared’s body drew her forward, and she impulsively put her lips on his Adam’s apple.

Jared’s body tightened as a result of her movement. When her lips landed on his chin, instead of pulling her into her arms, he softly pulled her away.

Makenna had already removed the top half of her robe, revealing her upper body. But this didn’t compel Jared to take any more action; he didn’t even bother to glance at her body and instead straightened up her robe for her.

“Jared, we already live together and have the freedom to do whatever we want; do you not want me?” Makenna was so humiliated by the clear rejection that she lost the guts to act further.

They could have intimacy whenever they wanted because they were already a couple living together, but Jared was more frustrated than turned on by her.

He softly replied, glancing at her misty eyes, “You’ve just recovered. You need more rest. We could wait.”

“All right,” Makenna said as she snuggled into his arms, worried.

…

Everything has gone exceptionally well for Amber since they signed the contract with Yotuga.

“Ms. Reed, there is a packet for you from Mr. Cohen,” her secretary said, interrupting her while she was engrossed in her work.

“What did he send me?” Amber murmured something incoherently as she ripped open the packet.

It was a folder containing information about Maxmatch that caught her attention; it appeared to be a detailed proposal created specifically to acquire Maxmatch.

Amber made a phone call as soon as she finished reading the proposal.

“Acquiring Maxmatch is a neat idea,” Cole remarked, “But we don’t have enough cash flow for you right now.”

“Isn’t twenty million going to be enough?” Amber inquired after reading the facts, which said that the purchase price was between eighteen and twenty-eight million dollars.

“Wait, where did you get that money?”

“From Jeremy.”

Cole groaned, enviously, “Wow, that’s a lot of money for a model; if I ever go bankrupt, that’ll be my next job.”

“Forget about it,” Amber mocked, “You won’t make a penny as a model.”

Cole grumbled, “I’m always the least attractive person to you. On a side point, instead of acquiring Maxmatch, why did Hayden send you the proposal he made? Could he fall for you?” Cole said after a little pause.

Amber abruptly hung up the phone, unwilling to listen to his nonsense.

Cole, on the other hand, texted a few seconds later: It’s my birthday today, babe. You didn’t have time for me when you were married, but I’m guessing you’re available now.

Amber has been preoccupied with work recently and had little interest in anything else. She would have forgotten it was Cole’s birthday today if he hadn’t mentioned it.

She replied, smiling: Of course, I remember. Let’s celebrate at Blue Moon, and I’ll get you the most expensive present.

Cole had been quite supportive during her difficult period, so she had to show her gratitude.

Cole responded: I guess I should thank Jared for divorcing you. Otherwise, you’ll never have time for my birthday.

Amber didn’t know what to say in response to his text, so she ignored it, finished the work at hand, and went to purchase him a birthday present.

“Long time no see, Mrs. Farrell,” the shop assistant welcomed her enthusiastically when she met her at the counter.

Amber corrected her, smiling, and said, “Please call me Ms. Reed, Jared and I are divorced.”

“My apologies, Ms. Reed; I was unaware of this because I just came back from abroad a few days ago,” she instantly apologized.

“It’s okay, I’m shopping for a birthday present for a pa. Any recommendations?”

The shop assistant breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Amber was not upset, and she swiftly recommended a couple of watches by the same designer to her.

Those were all well-designed timepieces, and even though Amber was shopping for a gift for Cole, she couldn’t help but imagine how good they would look on Jared’s wrist.

Amber purchased numerous watches for Jared at this shop and became a VVIP member as a result, but Jared had never worn any of them.

Amber was deep in thoughts as she looked at the collection of watches, and just as she was ready to choose one, she was interrupted by a voice.

“Can I have a look at this one, please?”

Amber turned around to see Makenna and her friend standing alongside her, looking as if she had just finished shopping and was holding a few bags.

When Makenna noticed Amber’s presence, the joy on her face faded.

“Hello Ms. Gardner, what a coincidence,” Amber said first.

“What a coincidence,” Makenna said, her fists clenched on the shopping bag. “Are you getting your lover a watch?”

Amber merely nodded and returned her attention to the watches. When she was going ask the assistant to wrap up the one she wanted, Makenna took the initiative and said, “Please wrap this up for me,” pointing to the exact watch Amber wanted to buy.

“I suppose this will look well on Jared,” she smiled as she turned to Amber. “Do you want this watch as well?”
