Hunting for His EX-Wife

Jimmy spoke with a commanding tone that made Anna extremely uncomfortable. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed in annoyance, and her delicate face clearly showed her displeasure.

“Mr. Harrison, you have no right or authority to question my decision,” Anna retorted sharply.

Jimmy had anticipated this reaction from Anna, so he didn’t show any anger on his handsome face. However, he took a step towards her.

His sudden approach startled Anna, causing her to instinctively step back. But she didn’t expect Jimmy’s bony hand to grip tightly around her waist.

Anna was almost scared out of her wits as she raised her fist and pressed it against Jimmy’s chest. “Let go… let go!” she demanded.

Instead of releasing his hold on Anna’s waist, Jimmy tightened his grip slightly and pulled her closer to him. His hot breath sprayed onto Anna’s ear as he spoke softly, “If you leave, everyone will think you’re guilty. Running away won’t solve anything. You need to face them head-on and achieve better results that will earn everyone’s respect.”

Jimmy’s voice was clear like spring water with an irresistible charm that could bewitch anyone who heard it.

Anna snorted while pursing her lips together before saying in a sweet voice, “Clean hands need no washing.”

Jimmy nodded approvingly while using his slender index finger to gently stroke Anna’s face.

“Then why are you leaving? Stay here and prove yourself,” he said with a slight bend.

The fiery look in Jimmy’s eyes made Anna’s heart beat faster as she quickly pushed him away, keeping some distance from him.

Rumors were scary things; if she stayed, there might be even more gossip about herself later on along with hidden ridicule from others too. Could she really handle all that?

Anna felt confused especially when thinking about their relationship which only added more difficulty into the mix.

“If I stay, then I might hear even more hurtful words being whispered or worse yet drowned out by public opinion. I’m afraid… I don’t know if I can bear it all,” Anna confessed hesitantly

After hesitating for a while, Anna finally voiced her worries. Her eyes were filled with fear.

In Jimmy’s deep, bottomless eyes, his smile deepened even more.

He once again embraced Anna in his arms and gently stroked her furrowed brows with his clearly defined fingers.

“With me here, I won’t let anyone bully you. In this lifetime, I will only protect you.”

His promise was full of affection and echoed clearly in Anna’s ears.

Anna looked up at him in surprise. Her watery eyes were filled with emotions and a hint of disbelief.

Was he really telling the truth?

Would he really protect her for the rest of their lives?

Jimmy noticed that Anna didn’t fully believe his promise which made an unpleasant expression appear on his handsome face.

With gentle eyes and a long index finger, he lightly touched her red lips as they locked onto hers intently.

“Don’t doubt anything I say; if I make a promise, then it will be fulfilled.”

His firm tone assured Anna that he wasn’t joking but…

“Should I release a statement announcing my breakup with Bryce?”

Anna asked softly while gazing into Jimmy’s eyes which made him feel satisfied by the trust she had placed in him.

“He’ll handle it; what should we do now is to go out for dinner.”

After giving her lips another light peck, Jimmy felt contented as they sat inside his car where she could feel the unique male scent emanating from him.

Finally breaking free from her thoughts when she heard the sound of ringing phone which showed an unknown number flashing on screen, causing Anna’s smile to freeze instantly upon seeing it.

She sighed before pressing answer button.

“Anna! Where are you? Who are you with?” Mia’s voice sounded anxious over the phone after connecting.

“I…”

Anna glanced at Jimmy who was driving beside her, feeling hesitant to tell Mia about being together with him right now.

Mia sensed that something was off about Anna’s hesitation, causing an icy expression to form on Mia’s face.

“Are you together with Jimmy? You promised me that you would try to set me up with him, but now you’re completely ignoring my request as your best friend by being together with him instead! You’ve disappointed me so much!”

Mia’s tone wcold.

“For you to make up for it, tell me your address, and I’ll come find you. Then, you can find a chance to reconcile us, what do you think?”

After hearing Mia’s request, Anna furrowed her brows tightly and felt a strong resistance towards her demand.

After hesitating for a moment, she opened her red lips and said, “Mia, it’s not convenient right now. Let’s talk later. I have something to do now, so I’ll hang up.”

Without waiting for Mia’s reaction, Anna immediately hung up the phone.

As she looked at the phone that had been hung up, Mia’s face immediately filled with anger.

Anna, I won’t let you off easily. Women who steal my man won’t have a good ending, you… just wait.

The malicious gleam in Mia’s eyes sent a shiver down the spines of the trainees passing by her, causing them to quickly run away.

Jimmy felt sorry for Anna when he saw the obvious sadness on her face after she answered the phone.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

After taking a deep breath, Anna stared at Jimmy.

“Mia, she… she likes you and has always wanted to be with you. Do you… do you know it?”

Anna asked very carefully, even showing great concern for the answer. She was eager to hear Jimmy’s response.

Jimmy raised his eyebrows slightly, and a mischievous smile curved his lips.

“Many women like me, many women want to climb into my bed, but from beginning to end, I only want… you.” Jimmy’s tone was very firm and unquestionable.

Upon hearing this answer, a smile bloomed on Anna’s face.

A heavy stone has finally fallen to the ground.

“But she… she really cares about you, even… even asked me to help.” Anna hesitated and said.

Jimmy furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and he stared at her without blinking.

“Are you… are you being a bit indifferent towards her?” Anna deliberately said.

Jimmy leaned in and trapped Anna in his embrace, his warm gaze seeming to engulf her.

“Do you not feel jealous at all when your friend likes me? Tell me, do you feel jealous?”
