The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 268

Published at 9th of July 2019 07:40:07 PM Chapter 268
Sitting outside their son's room, Mrs . Xie composed herself and told her husband that she wanted the best therapist hired, no matter what it took .

"We will do so but you have to be patient . Like the doctor said, this will take time . We can't hope for a miraculous recovery in a few days or even weeks . And you tend to get agitated very quickly . I know how the last three weeks have gone by . You refused to cooperate . By not eating or sleeping enough, you added extra worry on your daughter's plate and mine during the last few days . Henceforth, you will need to stay calm and strong for your son to stay positive and motivated," her husband instructed her .

"Hey, Mr . Married man, Welcome back! I had hoped that we would get to see your wife as soon you landed . But I have been informed that you left her behind and came," Jia Li exclaimed as she saw Eric walk upto her desk .

"Hey you… I heard that you went and scared away all the bats from Sudan . The poor creatures are petrified to go back even now, despite your having left the place long ago," Eric teased her in return .

Jia Li punched him lightly on the arm .

"Even in the middle of your own marriage proceedings, you were busy seeking gossip about others . Tsk tsk, really bad . I wonder if it is too late for Melissa to re-think her decision to spend her life with a gossip addict," she told him in mock anger .

Eric made the exaggerated gesture of his heart getting hurt .

"Well, when you see her, you think whether that's the first thing you want to say to her instead of how nice have I been to you and how helpful since your first day in this organisation . I am going to see the boss . Will come back and fight with you," he told her .

He knocked at Hui's cabin and entered .

"Oh, you are here . Welcome back . I thought you were intending to shift to New York permanently," Hui looked and gave his friend a warm smile .

"Basically, you are trying to say that you missed me," Eric winked at him and said so .

Hui nodded in agreement and replied in all honesty, "of course I did . I think I was lost at many occasions without your guidance . "

Eric looked at his friend who had almost never acknowledged this fact let alone say it in so many years . He was changing .

"So, should we address Earthly matters first or your heart matters?" Eric asked him .

Upon Eric's insistence, Hui had told him briefly about what had happened with Jia Li in Sudan on the phone . But now Eric wanted to know how his friend was coping with the heartbreak .

Jia Li sat immersed in her work when the office staff delivered a letter to her . It was an envelope with the stamp of the prison in Shanghai . She paled and her fingers shook suddenly . Why was he writing to her, out of the blue???

A part of her wanted to burn the letter instead of opening it but the other part urged her not to be a coward .

She got up and took the stairs to reach the rooftop cafeteria which was thankfully deserted at this hour of the morning . Carefully, she broke the seal and opened it –

Dearest Jia Li

Hope the letter has surprised you pleasantly . How are you doing these days? My sources inform me that you have managed to find a cushy job for yourself in one of London's top companies . From a mere language expert to a nice corporate position, well done YOU!

But I wonder if the hiring manager was impressed with your skills or your charm . Even while sitting in a cramped cell with stinky inmates as company, I can recall and smell your beauty with near perfection . Such is the magic of your 'assets' . Hence it wouldn't surprise me if the foreigners were also slayed by the same sword . But have they discovered the icy interior beneath the pretty surface yet or are they still smitten by the misleading looks? Well, whatever the case, I am sure you will keep them hooked with the smiles first and then the tears .

Oh, I almost forgot . Do you know that you successfully managed to break-up Xie Tang and Mei Zhen's marriage . Congratulations!!

But the strange bit is that he hasn't come back to you post that, has he? I wonder what's the reason for it . I would have thought that since he was ready to die for you, he would have come running post the marriage shackles broke, if not before . Maybe he doesn't want you anymore . People's tastes do change, you know…

But don't worry . You have me as your ardent lover for life . No matter what, I would never give up my love for you . When are you coming to Shanghai?

I miss YOU!
Always your lover
