Temptation From Her Ex-husband novel Chapter 5

Raymond’s day could not be described as just" uncomfortable”. He initially thought that divorcing Scarlett would be a good and happy thing for him.

Nevertheless, not long after the news of their divorce spread, he received several calls from his close childhood friends and buddies.

All of them asked the same thing as soon as he picked up the phone. "Ray, did you really divorce Scarlett?"

This question would not make things difficult for Raymond at all. He was not going to hide that he and Scarlett had divorced. Besides, he could not have hidden it because of the show that happened in the morning.

Raymond answered honestly and coldly, “Yes."

One of them gasped on the other end of the call. "My God, Scarlett the dumb woman has finally given up on you and not cling to you? Ray, for a moment, I don’t know if I should congratulate you or pity you. A woman like Scarlett is hard to find even if you openly look for one in our circle. You're the only one in her heart, and she only has eyes for you! She's just a little stupid, a bit easier to bully, slightly poor, and is a gold-digger to some degree. If you think carefully, it seems like there's nothing bad about her."

Raymond, who originally thought that he would be congratulated."???"

'What kind of friends are these?'

The key was that there was more than one such friend. After receiving three such calls in a row, Raymond's face was as dark as a stormy sky.

Even so, this was not the only thing that gave him a terrible mood along with his divorce with Scarlett.

Just as he finished dealing with the phone calls from his bad friends who were gloating over this and watching the show, Frank suddenly told him that Jean was here.

The divorce between him and Scarlett had become a big deal on the internet, hence he knew why Jean had come.

After knowing that Scarlett and Raymond were really divorced, Jean could not hide her joy on the way here. Despite that, she was not so happy when she saw the trending topics.

'How did Mark Jones get involved with Scarlett?'

It was even said that Mark had had a crush on Scarlett for many years. Although he knew very well that it was impossible between them, he still hoped every day that she would jump out of the fire pit of the Shaw family. Now that she had jumped out of it, Mark was elated as someone who had crushed on her in the past and was now a good friend.

From just a few sentences, Jean made out many meanings.

The joy on her face was gone, and she rushed straight into Raymond's office. "Ray, tell me the truth. Did Scarlett divorce you because she cheated on you?”

Though Raymond's three years of marriage with Scarlett was nominal, no man would be willing to be cuckolded.

Raymond's face instantly turned cold. "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Jean had just been smack-talked by Scarlett a few days ago. Now that she saw the internet saying that the Shaw family abused Scarlett and was a fire pit, and that her son was very likely cuckolded, she could not calm down even if she wanted to.

"Look for yourself! You just came out of the City Hall, then this woman's pursuer came to pick her up! Who knows if they've been seeing each other for a long time! Our Shaw family can't be bullied like this!"

Raymond had a meeting and was signing documents after he returned from the City Hall. He had expected that the news of his divorce with Scarlett would blow u p on the internet, but he did not expect it to be so extreme.

When he saw the words "has had a crush on Scarlett for many years", his heart seemed to have been pricked by something. For a second, he also doubted if Scarlett was suddenly so quick to divorce him because she was already seeing this man.

Having said that, it was only for a moment. As much a s Raymond did not like Scarlett, he also knew that she was ordered to do this and that all day long by Jean in the Shaw Residence. There was no time for her to cheat on him at all.

"Mom, me and Scarlett have divorced, and it was a peaceful divorce; she doesn’t want anything. In the future, let's just pretend that this person doesn't exist a t all. You should read less entertainment news.”

Needless to say, Jean was so furious not only because of this trending topic but also because she thought that Scarlett must have gained a lot from the Shaw family to be willing to divorce. Who knew, Raymond told her that Scarlett did not want anything.

Jean did not believe it. "She doesn't want anything? Didn't she stay with us for three years for money?

Now that she’s willing to divorce you, how could she not want anything?"

Raymond did not want to deal with Jea anymore. He directly dialed the intercom to call Frank in. "Show the divorce agreement to my mom."
