Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 19

On the way back, Rodney leaned against the back seat with his eyes closed. It seemed like he was resting, but only he himself knew that he wasn’t resting at all. His mind was in a mess.

It had been three years. The sudden return of the person who had disappeared for three years did not bring him any pleasant surprise. Instead, more problems were surrounding him. Where had she gone to when she disappeared for three years?

Why was she together with Elliot? In the past three years, he had always thought that she was with Pierce, but the situation was different now.

He was dazed. He couldn’t help but think of that day three years ago.

Three years ago, when he opened the door of the villa in the morning, he noticed that the house was surprisingly quiet. He stood in the living room for a while and walked up the stairs with heavy steps. When he pushed open the bedroom door, there was no one inside. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He guessed that she must have gone grocery shopping, so he went in and sat on the bed, waiting quietly for her to return.

He waited for two hours. There was a supermarket near the villa and she didn’t need this long to buy groceries. In that instant, he realised that something was not right. So he took out his phone and dialed her number.

Her phone’s ringtone rang clearly from the drawer of the bedside table. He was stunned for a moment. He went out of the bedroom and went straight to the study room. There was no one in the study room. He checked all the guest rooms, but there was no one as well.

Rodney panicked. He ran around both upstairs and downstairs. Finally he returned to the bedroom again. He opened the wardrobe, it was filled with neatly hanged clothes.

Rodney took out all the clothes in the wardrobe and threw them on the ground. He found out that a set of red suit dress was missing. It was bought by Ashton Stone for Amber when they got married. At that time, he said it was too old-fashioned and didn’t let Amber wear it. It had been kept in the wardrobe and was never touched.

Now it was the only set of clothes that was missing in the wardrobe, what does this mean? He rushed to the bedside and opened the bedside drawer. Apart from Amber’s documents, everything else was still there.

Sweat dripped down from Rodney’s forehead. He looked around the house at a loss, hoping that he wasn’t dreaming. Suddenly, he saw two pieces of paper on the dressing table. He rushed over and picked them up. On the paper, the names of the jewellery were listed in a clear handwriting. At the bottom of the paper, a sentence was written, “All the jewellery are returned to the original owner. Please sign for it. In addition, if it is convenient, please send the divorce certificate along with the ring that I bought to Ashton, thank you!”

In Rodney’s eyes, the familiar handwriting seemed to be sarcastic. He pulled open the drawer of the dressing table, in which there were boxes of all sizes neatly placed.

He was very familiar with those boxes. Each contained a jewellery he had personally chosen for her with great dedication. He could remember all the design of those jewellery and the specific dates on which he had given them to her.

Rodney blankly opened the topmost jewellery box and found that there was the wedding ring which he had bought for her. Both of them bought a wedding ring for each other. She had once said that she would use her savings to buy him a wedding ring, to cling onto him firmly, and never to let go of him for the rest of her life.

He remembered her words at that time, “You’re not allowed to take it off after putting it on. You’ll have to wear it forever!”

The vow in the past seemed to be still ringing in his ears, “To be together as long as we live!”

Hah! It turned out that the vow was all lies. After only three years of sweet moments, their love had reached its end. Rodney stomped around crazily, sweeping all the jewellery boxes in the drawer to the ground.

No items in the villa were missing, including undergarments and jewellery. Amber had put on the red suit dress that Ashton bought for her and left silently. She literally left without taking a penny. Amber was too unbelievable!

His heart was torn, and he felt as if blood was oozing out of it.
