Billionaire’s Ex-wife : Craving You

Chapter 106

HAZEL

PRESENT TIME

To ensure my daughter’s safety, I agreed to temporarily live with Ravel until I am prepared to return to Seattle. I have already made plans to depart this weekend with the hope of returning later. While I believe I can manage matters from at distance, I still feel the need to be physically present in the office to fully understand what’s happening.

As soon as we entered Ravel’s home, he suddenly stopped me by taking hold of my hand. “Would you prefer to stay in the guest room, or would you feel more comfortable in our bedroom?” he asked.

I looked at him quizzically. “You mean your bedroom?”

He winced at my choice of words. “Yes, I meant my bedroom.”

I shook my head and gracefully handed my bag to the housekeeper while discreetly scanning the area for June. “Ravel, this is, your home,” I began, “and it wouldn’t be proper for me to take over your bedroom. I’ll opt for one of the guest rooms.”

Ravel winced, as if my words had caused him some discomfort. “Very well,” he replied, “I’ll let you freshen up while I prepare dinner. He handed Daisy over to me before heading toward the kitchen.

After refreshing both myself and Daisy with a warm shower, I joined Ravel in the dining room. He handed me a glass of wine and volunteered to feed Daisy. I gladly passed her over to him, well aware of how playful yet stubborn she could be during mealtime.

Ravel cleared his throat to capture my attention. “Someone has been planted in your apartment to impersonate you. Hopefully, the next time he show up, we’ll be able to catch the stalker.”

Nodding slowly, I set my fork down on the table. “Can I see that picture again, please?” I requested, a hint of concern in my voice.
