Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2234

This time, Athena picked up the phone herself. She said she was out shopping, so Tyler rushed over to join her and ended up buying her armfuls of luxury goods.

But Athena didn't look particularly happy, and Tyler's mood quickly soured.

He couldn't help but think how pathetic he was knowing full well she didn't want him around, yet still tagging along like a lost puppy.

But then he remembered what Athena had gone through in the past, all the bullying and humiliation, and he felt a surge of anger at himself for not having met her sooner. For all the times he'd been part of the crowd that made her life harder.

"If none of these are to your liking, I can have someone bring in this season's newest styles straight from the runways in Europe. Athena, can you at least give me something? We're married now. You're my wife-can't you at least recognize that?"

Athena was already sitting in the car by then. She glanced at the pile of expensive gifts in the back seat, forcing a weak smile.

"I like apples, but you insist on giving me a pear and expect me to be grateful. Tell me, how does that make sense?"

The temperature in the car seemed to plummet. Tyler gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles went white.

"So what, do I owe you or something?"

Every time he tried to please her, he just wound up angrier with himself. Couldn't she say one soft word, just once?

"Get out of the car."

Athena didn't hesitate. She pulled the handle and stepped out without a backward glance.
