Chapter 255: A Bouquet of Flowers

He cheated and was “used” by Victoria. How dare he say he wanted to remarry her? This didn’t only disgust her; she even felt like ever being married to him was a dark history.

Her attitude remained the same, stabbing his heart painfully. Easton pursed his lips as he bent down to pick the flowers up. “Have you seen the text message?”

Ellis was speechless. How is there someone so shameless? Does he take me as a trash can?

She rolled her eyes. “Who gave you the right to ask for a remarriage? Who told me to not regret the divorce? Don’t you find it ironic to be doing whatever the hell you’re doing now!”

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t—”

“Stop! The reason I’m standing here talking to you is to tell you that we are impossible!”

Easton had expected this from her. He wasn’t surprised, but witnessing it firsthand made his heart ache even more. He disliked the her who was being so indifferent toward him and loved the her that was always around him.

At this moment, Easton hated the kidnapper who kidnapped her to his core. The day she was kidnapped, his mind was filled with fury toward the kidnappers. How dare they be so reckless as to kidnap his wife and demand ransom from him?

What he hadn’t anticipated was that after being kidnapped, she no longer wanted to be with him. He knew he was at fault for not rescuing her in time, but he didn’t believe his mistake led to this outcome.

She had schemed against him first. Marriage was her idea. So why was it that when she wanted a divorce, she could simply walk away? Why did everything always have to go her way while he was left in a passive position?

Anger turned into resentment. Pressing a hand against his uncomfortable chest, he spoke seriously. “What’s so bad about remarrying me? If you become my wife again, everything you once had will be yours again. You won’t have to struggle every day, braving the wind and rain, living in a cramped apartment, or dealing with people’s attitudes.”

Ellis cut him off with irritation. “I think you’re missing the point! I don’t even want you, and you think I’d want your money?”

She doesn’t want me or my money? Easton couldn’t comprehend it. She had schemed to become his wife. Wasn’t it because of his power and wealth, the material comfort he could provide?

Could she have actually fallen in love with an ordinary life? For a brief moment, left without an answer, he gazed at her with the bewilderment of a child, silently pleading for an explanation.

Ellis, of course, didn’t hate money. She simply understood a fundamental truth: a person one depended on could leave. In the end, relying on herself was the only real security. What Easton could give her today, he could take back tomorrow.

She didn’t want to lower her head to her ex-husband just because of those things. It would only show that she had no pride and that her dignity could be trampled on anytime. She wasn’t that low!

Seeing Easton waiting for her answer, she said, “My life now is all due to my hard work. I love it and am very satisfied with it. I don’t want to go back to the life where I have to depend on you to live; that’s just useless. So, please leave with your money.”

Easton couldn’t understand how she changed so much, to the extent even he was puzzled. Since when did she stop loving money and a luxurious lifestyle?

After speaking, Ellis pushed him away, opened her room door, and went in. She did it so smoothly as if she wanted him to leave her sight.

Chapter 255: A Bouquet of Flowers

Easton—arrogant, self-important, looking down on everyone even when doing the bare minimum, treating everything like charity, and, most importantly, completely incapable of seeing others as equals—was the kind of person who should disappear from the world rather than live comfortably while constantly making her sick.

Did he even think before showing up out of nowhere and talking about remarriage? He was insane! Insane to the point of being a hopeless lunatic.

He could forget the things he’d done to hurt her, but she never would. Over her dead body would she make the same mistake twice. Besides, she didn’t love him anymore. Why the hell would she remarry him?

For money? Not worth it. So not worth it. She was still young, like Maya said, young meant she still had many opportunities. She wasn’t a rich person now, but who knew one day she’d become one?

After adjusting her emotions, Ellis lay down on her bed. However, she thought of the possibility of Easton barging in, so she went back to check on the lock. However, she knew even if he didn’t barge in, he’d still have some other stupid methods.

After hesitation, she decided to go out and not stay in the hotel.
