His Regret: Ex Wife I Want You Back

Chapter 008

Ivy frowned at Ryder's words. She couldn't believe he'd say such a thing to her, her chest constricted from the severe pain piercing through it, yet Ryder sat comfortably conversing with his ex and seeing her as though she was an intruder.

When Ryder couldn't even see she was hurting and spoke to her like that, she knew her husband might never return to who he used to be. He had clearly chosen Sheila over her.

She watched as he opened the pack of chocolate Sheila held in her hand for her.

"Care for one?" Sheila muttered to Ivy, the smile still on her face.

But Ivy didn't respond or take a chocolate, she just watched them, with her fist tightened beside her.

For almost a week now, she had not had any time alone with her husband, just because his ex was back.

A bead of sweat formed in her palm, she was losing her husband, Panic settled into her stomach, she must talk to Ryder now.

"I need to speak with you, alone, Ryder," Ivy muttered, her voice shaky from frustration but she masked it up.

"Say it here Ivy, don't be like this, Sheila is also a family member, apart from what happened between us, she's my childhood friend too. Her parents also helped me at the time when I was setting up my other company, I expect you to understand this and accept Sheila as one of us."

Ivy couldn't believe her ears. Does that mean she would never have to be alone with her husband? Now she gets to share her husband with an ex? She boiled in rage, her face turning red.

"Ryder, I said I want to speak with you alone." She muttered once again, this time, her voice clearly shaky, she was losing it, she was obviously losing her marriage.

"Oh, Ivy, I'm truly sorry you're feeling this way, I like you and I hope you like me back too, Ryder and I goes way back in time, I'm also part of your family, don't be shy, you can tell him whatever you want to discuss with your husband, I'm not one to intrude a husband and wife discussion."

Did she just say that? Ivy scoffed, what on earth was she doing now? This wasn't enough to be called intruding?

She hissed as she tossed the file to the table and darted off from Ryder's office, she was done with him.

She would use this project to gain more popularity for herself and then leave.

With her step calculative and mind occupied with thoughts, she decided she'd put a call to the manager of X&Y bags.

She would negotiate all that was needed and get the contract.

Just then, Larisa walked up to her, startling her from her several thoughts.

"What's up, Viee?" She muttered, her tone light and a bit playful.

She saw she was coming out of Ryder's office, maybe they'd talked it through and Ivy was now happy, but her face said a different thing, making her raise a brow.

"How did it go with Ryder? You told him right?"

"I didn't get the chance to speak with him," Ivy muttered, her eyes welling up with tears

"What do you mean?"

"He said I should say whatever I have to tell him in front of Sheila." Her voice broke, this time she couldn't hold it back as tears flowed freely down her face.

"I'm so sorry Ivy, truly sorry you are going through this." She hugged her tightly.

With that sullen expression still plastered on her face, she drove down to her penthouse.

When she came in, she was met with Ryder cooking in the kitchen.
