Madam, Your Ex-Husband Is On Call novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Car Accident

Anastasia sneered and snapped, "He bumped into me himself! I didn't even touch him. Surveillance cameras are a great invention. Use some common sense. Look at the footage before accusing others of something they didn’t do."

Beatrice's face stiffened, and her sobs stopped.

She seemed to have forgotten about the surveillance cameras. So, her previous accusations could easily be disproven.

She was about to say something to clear the air when Anastasia turned away with her bag.

Christian frowned and quickly handed Charlie to Beatrice.

"Wait for me here."

He hurriedly caught up with Anastasia.

He couldn't quite decipher his feelings, but Anastasia's differences and the subtle changes in his heart made him uneasy.

When he caught up with Anastasia, she was waiting for a car outside.

Christian stood there with a conflicted expression. His tone was cold.

"Why did you come to the hospital? Are you sick?"

Anastasia gave him a puzzled look.

He had accused her of following him here, and now he seemed concerned about her? Why would Christian be concerned about her?

Of course, Anastasia wasn't about to let Christian know about her pregnancy, so she replied indifferently, "I came here to visit a friend."

After all, Christian didn't know who her friends were.

Christian's face tensed up.

"Where have you been staying these days? Why haven't you come home?"

Anastasia glanced at him coldly, her voice extremely indifferent.

"Why do you care? Since I've moved out, you can bring your lover and illegitimate child to live there!"

Christian raised an angry eyebrow.

Anastasia chuckled.

"Right, Mr. Patterson, you have so many houses. How could you make them live in a second-hand house? Their existence is no secret."

Christian suppressed his anger, silently enduring it. His voice turned cold.

"I always thought your character had no flaws. Can't you even tolerate raising Charlie and treating him like your own?"

Anastasia's heart trembled, and she tightly clenched her fists.

Did she have to tolerate the child of him and another woman? Was she to blame for being narrow-minded?

She smiled slowly, a touch of coldness in her expression.

"Christian, I don't want to talk about it anymore. You've seen the divorce agreement. Besides going through the formalities, don't bother me with anything else."

The car pulled up in front of Anastasia.

She glanced at the license plate number, got into the car, and closed the door.

She didn't even spare him another glance.

It was ridiculous. Did he think she should naturally take care of his mistress and illegitimate child?

Was she supposed to degrade herself like that?

Looking at her indifferent face, Christian remained outwardly calm but internally flustered.

He hadn't told her that the public incident last time was orchestrated by the PR department.

But even if he did, she might not believe him.

Somehow, he felt like something was quietly slipping away from his heart, and he was too powerless to stop it.

At that time, Beatrice approached from behind with a crying Charlie in her arms and asked cautiously, "Charlie is crying again. Is he still running a fever?"

Christian snapped out of his thoughts. His face remained cold. Suppressing his icy aura, he turned around and looked at the adorable Charlie gently.

"Don't worry. The doctor will have a solution."

Beatrice smiled weakly and looked at him tentatively.

"I saw your divorce agreement. Christian, are you really going to get a divorce?"

Christian's smile froze. His eyes turned cold in an instant, and he looked at her nonchalantly.

"No, she will always be Mrs. Patterson."

Beatrice’s disappointment was evident. She forced a fake smile, her lips stiff and her eyes cold.

"That's good. Otherwise, I would feel sad and blame myself," she added as Christian walked in with Charlie in his arms.

Christian remained silent and walked past Beatrice without acknowledging her. Beatrice lowered her gaze, her eyes betraying her resentment and unwillingness.

Christian didn't want a divorce, so Beatrice had decided to target Anastasia.
