Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon

Chapter Fifty

Third Person POV.

Richard’s nerves were on edge as he paced back and forth in front of Amber’s apartment. He doubted

whether he should ring the doorbell or if it would be better to leave, knowing that she was upset

with him. The guilt gnawed at him, pushing him further into a state of unease.

After Amber had stormed out of the restaurant the day before, Richard had made the conscious choice

not to follow her. He knew Kayden, alongside himself, had hurt her deeply, and she deserved the space

to process everything that had been revealed. Instead, he had tasked a few of his men to ensure her

safety and keep a watchful eye from a distance.

Half an hour had passed, and Richard’s mind was spinning with incessant worry when he finally, gathered the courage to press the doorbell. He expected to wait for a while before receiving a response, but to his surprise, Amber swung open the door almost immediately, greeting him with an eye

roll.

“Took you long enough,” she said.

Richard blinked in confusion. “Wait…you knew I was out here? How?”

Amber crossed her arms, a small smirk dancing on her lips. “I’ve been watching you pace about for the past twenty minutes. It’s impressive how you managed to just pace about for so long without getting

tired.”

A flush of embarrassment crept up Richard’s neck as he mentally scolded himself for not realizing

that she could have been watching him on the screen.

For a moment, he felt frozen, not quite sure what to say or do. He silently hoped that Amber would invite him in, but he didn’t dare assume he could and just walked in like he owned the place. Like Ethan had advised him, he was here to beg for forgiveness and explain himself, and for that to happen, he needed to let go of his pride and be ready to open up to her.

Seeing Richard’s hesitation, Amber rolled her eyes again and gestured for him to come inside. “Well, are you just going to stand there? You might as well come in.

Richard’s surprise deepened as he stepped into Amber’s living room. He had expected to find her
