Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 923:

Light seeped through the crack in the door, briefly illuminating the man’s profile.

Before Aurora could react, he shoved her forward and burst out behind her.

Addie was walking by with a group of classmates. The scene unfolded in seconds, and Aurora barely registered what had just happened.

“Aurora, you…” Addie stammered, pointing at her in shock before shifting her gaze to her boyfriend.

He adjusted his clothes hurriedly, his hands raised defensively, before declaring loudly, “She was the one who seduced me!”

Aurora froze. The words hit her like a slap.

Her stomach dropped as the realization hit—this was his plan all along.

Her eyes darted to Addie. The girl’s face contorted as tears fell on cue. Addie swatted at her boyfriend with mock outrage before stepping protectively by his side.

“Aurora, I thought you were my best friend! How could you seduce my boyfriend?”

Aurora didn’t know which of the two sentences was more ridiculous. But in such a short time, she hadn’t come up with a response yet, and most of the class had witnessed the scene.

She was alone in the room with Addie’s boyfriend. How could she possibly deny it?

Aurora forced herself to stay calm, pushing down the waves of humiliation.

She locked eyes with Addie, her voice sharp and unwavering. “Addie, do you enjoy setting me up like this?”

“Setting you up? Everyone saw it! What were you doing alone with my boyfriend in there? Are you so desperate without Rickey that you’re going after someone else’s man?”

As soon as Addie finished speaking, Aurora slapped her across the face. Aurora’s hand tingled from the impact, yet she harbored no regrets about striking Addie.

In fact, if pushed to take further action, that slap would have seemed gentle.

“What gives you the right to lay a hand on me?” Addie exclaimed, shock resonating in her voice.

“Given the filth you were spewing, a slap was the least you deserved,” Aurora retorted.noveldrama

Addie, reeling more from humiliation than pain, surveyed the crowd. Her classmates shrank back, none daring to intervene, while her boyfriend, standing close by, ignored her.

Confusion clouded Addie’s thoughts. It was Aurora who had crossed the line, yet here she was, the one who had been slapped, with no one coming to her defense.

“Aurora, this isn’t over, I swear it!” Addie hissed, her anger boiling over as she lunged toward Aurora. Fortunately, her classmates intervened, holding her back just in time.

Overcome with a mix of grievance and rage, Addie caused an uproar, loudly accusing Aurora of enticing her boyfriend. The party unraveled, ending in her angry tirade.

Meanwhile, the distant clamor reached Dunn, secluded in his private room.

He caught Aurora’s name amidst the commotion, causing him to pause, his hand tightening around his glass.

“Apologies, something urgent just came up. I’ll need to head out for a while.”

“Hey, Dunn!” The woman sitting across from Dunn failed to stop him.
