Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Shirley froze the moment the words left his mouth.

But Abner, he was as calm as if he was commenting on the lovely weather outside.

Shirley straightened her back, barely believing her ears when he asked, "Can I give you a ride? Where are you staying these days?" She followed him in a daze.

It wasn't until the car pulled up in front of her place that he asked, "You're still living here?"

"Yeah, I bought the place."

"Why not buy somewhere else? It's quite a distance from the school you're working at now, and the price wasn't exactly a steal."

At the time, Shirley couldn't quite pinpoint why she had decided to buy that house.

Maybe she was worried that if Abner ever came back, he wouldn't know where to find her.

"Shirley, you should head up," he said.
