His Regret: Ex Wife I Want You Back

Chapter 002

Ivy decided to wait for when he'd return, she would ask when he started behaving like this.

With her sullen face, she walked into her bathroom for a quick shower. When she was done, she put on her pyjamas and hopped back on the couch to put on the TV.

She was going to watch the news, as a big company, its stock price was always discussed and put on the news by journalists. She doesn't often watch this, but she needed it now to keep herself busy till her husband returned.

Just as Ivy put on the broadcasting station, a recap came up.

In the recap, there was an elegant lady in a very flying hat, her skin flawless, and huge sunglasses plastered on her face. She exuded elegance, beside her was someone she couldn't believe it was.

It couldn't be her husband right?

This wasn't Ryder was it? And who was the lady?

With her eyes still glued to the TV and her heart hammering in her chest, a journalist began explaining the scene, confirming her thoughts.

“The daughter of the former CEO of XIAO Designs; Sheila had returned. As everyone knows, she is now a famous designer in New York City, and her designs are known globally. Hold on as I interview her to verify if she is back here in Los Angeles to stay for good, or just a visit, as you can see, with her is her ex-fiancé or maybe she is back for a reunion? Let's find out”

The journalist spoke and left to meet Sheila, but Ryder protected her, blocking everybody from coming close as he led the way.

Ivy had her fist tightened.

Just because his Ex was back, he couldn't come back home at his usual time, why was he there? Why was he the one to accompany her from the airport? She had her family.

She bit her lower lip.

Then her phone began buzzing.

It was Larisa; her friend.

She picked it up right away, her jaw still clenched and her heart thudding faster in her chest as she picked up the call. Sheila was back and Ryder was quick to run off to her as though he had been waiting for her all his life.

It was her first day coming into California and her husband was already getting like this, she was already getting in between them. Ryder never goes anywhere without informing her. If it was for work, he was going to say it, whatever it was, Ryder never left her out.

He had never given her any reason to be sad.

For the past three years of her marriage, she had never felt anything like this.

"Hi Ivy, I've been trying to get to you, but sorry, I got too busy.. there's something I need to tell you."

Ivy had a hunch it was about what she had just watched.

Larisa was her very good friend and was often on the lookout for her.

"Yes Lar, I'm listening.."

"Did you see the news?" She goes.

Ivy breathed deeply.

"Or wasn't that your Ryder I saw?"

"He is the one Lar, I just saw it too.."

"Wow that's weird, is Ryder back home?" Larisa asked and Ivy bit her lower lip.

"No, he is not back." She balled her fist.

Larisa gasped.

If a man's Ex was back, and he didn't hesitate to go to her, then there was a problem.

"I'll call you back Larisa," Ivy muttered and ended the call.

At this point, her heart was already beating out of rhythm, uncertainty crawling into her stomach, and a lump formed in her throat.

Then she decided to make a call to Ryder.

But he didn't pick up her calls.

This only heightened Ivy's panic.
