Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 890:

“This isn’t about listening to her,” Brielle muttered, her eyes narrowing. “Do you really think Fiona just stumbled upon the money by accident? This wasn’t handled right from the start, and someone definitely gave her a heads-up. Fiona’s not the docile woman she once was. Do you have any idea how many strings she pulled to make sure Crowell and Cara ended up on death row? Michael, you’re an adult now. Surely you’ve outgrown the pathetic habit of drinking yourself sick over love. You need to see the bigger picture here: your future, the Frye family’s standing, and the well-being of everyone involved are at stake—far outweighing your feelings for Dulce.”

The Noble Palace reserved its innermost room not for ordinary patrons but for those deemed worthy of special treatment.

With each stride towards the room, Michael’s trench coat fluttered behind him. He brushed past the waiter trying to block his path and swung the double doors wide open.

Fiona sat upright inside, accompanied by her stepmother. Normally, Fiona was humble, while her stepmother was arrogant, but today the situation was different.

As Michael stepped in, Fiona’s stepmother was in the midst of serving her a drink, her smile too eager to please.

“Fiona, step outside,” Michael said.

Fiona’s fingers stilled, and she straightened her neck, trying to uphold her pride. “Is there something you need? I’m quite busy right now.”

Michael’s eyes darted to Fiona’s stepmother. “Busy showing off in front of your stepmother? Is this what Lacey taught you? Or is this all you’re capable of?”

Fiona’s fists tightened, her gaze burning into her stepmother, who promptly looked away.

Understanding her growing influence within the family, Fiona’s stepmother realized she must bow down when needed. What did it cost to stoop a little in front of Fiona, particularly when seeking favors? Yet Fiona was not content. Before Michael’s intrusion, she had enjoyed reversing roles with her stepmother.

But his arrival diminished her fleeting sense of victory. She had gained a position of influence, yet she hadn’t used it to achieve anything meaningful.noveldrama

Protected by her privileged upbringing, her life experiences were limited to traditional roles like marriage and motherhood.

Fiona’s smile was strained as she rose to her feet and stepped outside with Michael. “You’re here for Dulce, right?”

Michael said nothing, using his height to peer down into Fiona’s eyes. Their gazes held steady, and after several intense seconds, a blush crept across Fiona’s cheeks.

She broke the silence first, her voice strained. “If that’s all, I’ll be going now.”

As she moved to leave, Michael grasped her arm and pinned her against the wall. “Who do you think you are, threatening my parents?” His fist was raised, hovering in the air, yet it never struck. The woman before him was Lacey’s sister, and despite his anger, he couldn’t forget she was family.

At her breaking point, Fiona shoved him back forcefully, advancing. “It’s your fault for using Dulce as a substitute for Lacey. You betrayed my sister!”

With every word, Fiona struck Michael’s chest.

Message from Noah:

I hope you’re enjoying the new chapters! More novels are on the way this week, so stay tuned to the website for updates.

I’m also working on a new section featuring VIP novels. This initiative is meant to help protect some of the website’s content, since a few sites have been copying everything I publish—even my messages.

In the near future, I’ll introduce a subscription model that will grant access to all these VIP novels. But don’t worry—free content will still be available. For example, if we release 10 novels, 6 will remain free while 4 will be VIP.

The idea behind the VIP novels is not only to prevent other websites from copying everything, but also to thank the people who support this project and help us keep the website running. I truly appreciate the kind messages you send me on WhatsApp and your constant support—thank you for being part of this community.

Lastly, my goal is to publish 1,000 novels, and I hope you, dear reader, will continue to enjoy this website along the way. God loves you, and Noah wishes you all the best. (=◡=)/
