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

Chapter Eighty Nine

Third Person POV.

As Richard and Amber made their way back into their apartment, the tension that lingered between them was palpable. Richard walked ahead of her, his movements brisk as he headed straight for his bedroom without saying a word. Amber followed behind him, a heavy sigh escaping her lips as she watched him

disappear into the room.

Recalling the silent car ride from Bianca’s place back to their apartment, Amber couldn’t shake the sense of unease that settled over her. Richard’s stoic silence had spoken volumes, his mood uncertain to the point that it left her grasping for the right words to break through his walls.

Sinking into the comfort of the living room sofa, Amber pondered her next move, her mind racing with several thoughts and concerns. She knew that whatever transpired between Richard and Elena had lef him on edge, and his demeanor had become very distant and closed off.

She also felt how heavy his emotions were, and a sense of helplessness crept in as she wrestled with the desire to cheer him up while not knowing how to go about it. Since she didn’t know Richard all that well, she couldn’t be too sure what she could do or say to him that could make him feel better.

Also, since their relationship was quite fragile, with its boundaries still undefined and uncharted, she hesitated a bit to approach him, unsure of how to comfort Richard without overstepping into unknown territory. She gazed at the closed door of his bedroom, a knot of uncertainty settling in her stomach as she deliberated her next steps. /

A rumble of hunger echoed through the silence, drawing Amber out of her reverie. She realized with a pang of regret that they hadn’t even had the chance to eat dinner amidst the chaos of Elena’s unexpected arrival. A frown formed on her face, and a pang of sadness tugged at her heart as she realized that once again, she had missed her chance to be a part of a family dinner.

While she was in her thoughts, an idea sparked in her mind, a mischievous glint brightening her eyes. as a thought crossed her mind. She checked the time first to make sure there was still time, and when she realized that there was, she smiled to herself in satisfaction.

She had been trying to think of a way to approach Richard without making him uncomfortable, so she rose from the comfort of the sofa, setting her sights on the closed door that separated her from him.
