Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

Don't be a stuck–up ex–wife.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

"Let's keep walking," Ashley whispered, tugging at my arm.

But Sofia had already spotted us and was calling out. "Arielle! Ashley!"

"Ignore her," Ashley whispered again.

But it was too late; Sofia was already rushing towards her. "Hold on, you two."

To avoid a scene, as people were already sparing us glances, Ashley and I reluctantly stopped. Sofia caught up with us, a smile I could tell was fake, plastered on her face.

"Arielle, Ashley? What a surprise to see you two. What are you doing here!?" She asked, her eyes conveying her surprise.

"We're here for a conference," Ashley responded.

"Oh, the independent women's conference? I'm here for it too," Sofia exclaimed. By now, Jared had joined us, standing beside her.

"Babe, Arielle, and Ashley are here for the conference, too. Isn't that a great coincidence?" She asked, placing a hand on Jared's shoulder.

Jared nodded, his eye darting briefly to mine before avoiding eye contact. "Hi, Arielle. Hi, Ashley."

Sofia continued, her voice laced with mock sweetness. "You see, Jared has been so sweet to me. He drove me here because he didn't want me and our baby stressed. He's the best man any woman can have. I wonder what woman would let herself lose a man like him." I felt a sharp pierce to my heart at her deliberate jab but refused to fall for her bait. "That's nice," I said flatly, speaking for the first time.
