Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 1100:

“Rickey, Dunn wanted me to thank you, and to apologize. I also want to express my gratitude for your care and affection over the years. I hope you find someone wonderful and achieve happiness as well.” Aurora approached him and gave him a gentle hug.

Rickey looked up, took a deep breath, and managed a forced smile as he said hoarsely, “Sure, I’ll find someone a hundred times better than you, and we’ll be much happier than you and Dunn!”

“I believe you.”

The following day, Aurora and Dunn’s engagement ceremony went off without a hitch, and Rickey returned alone to Bristania.

As he walked out of the airport, the sky was filled with swirling dust. Emma was there waiting, and Rickey approached with a gloomy expression.

“What are you doing here?”

Emma clutched her bag and stood tall. “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not here for you. I finished my studies early and I’m heading home.” With that, she walked past Rickey without looking back.

Rickey felt unexpectedly irked and found himself hesitating, almost wanting to convince her to stay.

After a few steps, Emma turned, offering him a bright smile. “By the way, do keep me in mind if another opportunity to make money comes up.”

“Stop the car!” Joelle called out.

Katherine slammed on the brakes abruptly, and Joelle, in the passenger seat, quickly unfastened her seatbelt.

“Hey, hey! Calm down!” Katherine reached out and grabbed her arm.

Despite their longstanding friendship, this was the first time Katherine had to assume a more mature and steady role than Joelle.

“Calm down? How can I calm down? I need to make sure Ryland isn’t being exploited!” Joelle exclaimed.

“How could that be?” Katherine whispered under her breath. “Ryland’s eighteen now. Isn’t it normal for him to have a girlfriend? Kalel flirts at school every day!”

“That’s not the same!” Joelle’s voice was filled with visible concern.

She had never openly expressed disapproval before, but she was deeply troubled to learn that Ryland’s girlfriend had moved in with him. Despite Ryland being of legal age, she felt he was still too naive.

When Joelle discovered that his girlfriend was significantly older than him, her immediate suspicion was that Ryland was being misled. With Ryland at work, she enlisted Katherine to help investigate the girlfriend and assess her character.

Katherine had tried to stop her during the drive, but to no avail. Eventually, she accompanied Joelle—determined and anxious—to the couple’s apartment.

“Joelle, are you sure you want to do this?” Katherine asked, a cold shiver running down her spine. She gasped, her mind racing with all the possible outcomes.

Just as Joelle was about to ring the doorbell, she hesitated upon hearing Katherine’s question and suddenly stopped.

“You’re right,” Joelle said, her face growing serious as she slowly lowered her hand. “Ryland is an adult. It’s normal for him to make his own choices. I shouldn’t meddle in his relationships.” Joelle recognized her impulsiveness.

Katherine gently patted her on the head. “It’s okay. It’s good to acknowledge when you’ve made a mistake. Let’s leave before Ryland finds out.”
