After the Divorce, My Ex-Wife Just Can't Move On novel Chapter 8

I moved to Rivershire to escape Ava and Noah, and I even changed my phone number to avoid their interference.

Without their constant disruptions, I felt rejuvenated, and time flew by.

But a few days before my exams, I returned to Silverbrook and unexpectedly ran into Ava. She looked pale and exhausted.

"You're finally back!"

I bit my lip. If I had known she'd be here, I would have stayed in a hotel.

"I've been waiting for you every day. Lucas, you don't have to avoid me."

I gave a cold laugh: "Ava, you don't need to keep coming after me."

She pulled out a cigarette but didn't light it.

"I regret it. Since you left, I've been having trouble sleeping. We've gone through several cooks and housekeepers, but neither Noah nor I like them. A few days ago, I got sick. The doctor said it's acute gastroenteritis. There are other issues too—problems that started after you left…"

In the end, she still saw me as a utility.

"The Brown family isn't short on money. They'll find a suitable housekeeper eventually."

"That's not what I meant."

"I don't need to understand your intentions."

I struggled to keep my frustration in check: "I'm about to start my exams. Ava, please stop bothering me."

I turned and walked away without a second glance. She didn't follow.

In the following days, she didn't disturb me again.

After the exams, I saw Noah surrounded by several bodyguards, making him hard to miss.
