Ex-Husband Begone (Bethany and Terrence) novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11

They chatted for a bit longer before ending the call.

Bethany put her phone away and thought about her cancer.

For seven years, she worked nonstop for her family, never taking

a break.

She married Terrence without a wedding, a ring, or a

honeymoon.

Even when he took Emery to the amusement park or on trips,

she had to stay out of sight.

No matter how cold he was to her, she always smiled.

And when she saw him write Krista’s name on paper, she

pretended not to notice.

Seven years ago, when he walked up to her with strong, steady

steps and said he wanted to marry her, she thought he recognized

her.

It wasn’t until after they got married that she found out he didn’t.

But by then, she didn’t care anymore. She thought now that she

was his wife, he would eventually see how good she was.

However…

Bethany shut her eyes tight, and a wry smile tugged at the corner

of her mouth.

It was no big deal.

From now on, she could do whatever she felt like.

She could be her true self and go wherever she wanted, all by

herself.

Bethany was browsing travel tips online when a news alert

popped up on her phone.

“Anime Master Ms. Cassie Guzman’s National Tour Exhibition –

First Stop: Southmount Stadium.”

She clicked on it and saw that the comic convention was in three

days.

Without a second thought, she bought a ticket online.

Then, she booked a flight to Southmount for tomorrow.

She seldom went back to her hometown, and today, she was planning to visit her grandma’s grave.

Chapter 11

Terrence got up, started gathering the meeting papers with one

hand, and said casually, “With Emery at home, she won’t stay

away for long. She’ll be back soon.”

With that, he hung up.

“Mr. McConnell…”

The line went dead. Eliza sighed and put her phone away.

At noon, Krista ordered lunch at Riverspire Bistro and had it sent

to Emery’s school.

The guard told Emery’s teacher that his mom was there and

asked him to come get his lunch.

When he heard his mom was there, he was thrilled.

He really missed his mom’s cooking and ran out as fast as he

could.

But when he was almost at the school gate, he thought that if the guard knew his mom was mute and it got around, he’d get made fun of by his classmates.

In a second, he didn’t want to eat the lunch his mom had made

anymore.

It’d be great if his mom could talk as nicely as Krista.
