My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage
Chapter 180

In the quaint confines of their small town, Aspyn was known for her reputable family and her brilliance both in academics and talents, making her the object of widespread admiration at school.

Never had she laid her heart bare like this, only to be greeted with such cold detachment.

Her heart thudded painfully as she clenched her skirt, mustering her courage to voice her confusion.

“Why do you dismiss me so?”

Elijah paused, placing his water bottle on the table with a deliberate thud, his reply frosty.

“I’m married.”

His response was not out of tact or concern; Elijah simply saw no merit in extending their conversation.

Surprise flickered in Aspyn’s gaze, then, scrambling for answers, she ventured, “Sandra? Is it Sandra Nash you’re married to?”

Impatience crept into his demeanor.

Elijah stood abruptly, walked over to the door, and flung it open, his voice sharp as he began to count.

“You have until the count of three to leave.

One… Two…”

Fearing the eyes of onlookers, Aspyn bit her lip, pushed herself up from her seat, and hesitantly moved toward the door.

Before stepping through the doorway, curiosity spurred her to question once more, “Is it Sandra Nash who is your wife?”

Right at that moment, a soft thud reverberated through the air in the serene courtyard.

Aspyn, startled by the noise, chose not to linger or inquire further.

With a quickened pace, she vanished from the scene.

Elijah shifted his attention, his eyes landing on a silhouette bathed in the faint glow of the garden lights, his lips curling into an icy smirk.

“Sneaking around my doorstep at such a late hour?” he challenged.

Realizing the futility of concealment, Elizabeth abandoned her guise.

She gracefully stooped to retrieve the pad that had clattered to the ground and made her way across the garden toward Elijah.

Upon reaching him, she brandished the pad with a casual flick of her wrist.

“The room felt suffocating, so I sought a serene spot outdoors to sketch out my script,” she explained.

“I wasn’t aware of your room assignment; how could I know you’d choose such a secluded spot?”

The two faced each other, enveloped in an uncomfortable silence.

Breaking the stillness, Elijah blurted out, “She entered my room of her own accord.

It was unexpected.”

For a moment, Elizabeth was caught off guard, but the pieces quickly fell into place—he was offering an explanation for Aspyn being there.

Though she hadn’t grasped Aspyn’s words entirely, she did catch the mention of Sandra’s name.

Did Elijah truly mean to prove his loyalty to Sandra, or was it a clever guise to gain Elizabeth’s compassion? The conflict in his actions made her stomach churn.

Gripping the pad tighter, Elizabeth’s features hardened as she replied, “I have no interest in your explanations.

You owe me no justifications.”
