My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 261 Elijahs sharp eyes immediately noticed the faint bruising at the corner of Elizabeths lips.

She must have been hurt.

For a fleeting moment, sympathy rose in his chest, but it vanished the instant he saw Daxton.

Dressed in a crisp white sweater and jeans, Daxton stood effortlessly poised, the sunlight casting a warm glow over his figure.

He seemed almost ethereal, exuding an easy confidence that grated on Elijah.

When their eyes met, Daxton offered a polite, serene smile, but beneath it was an unmistakable frost.

The two men locked gazes, the tension between them palpablelike two predators circling, vying for dominance over the same territory.

Though Daxtons demeanor lacked the lethal edge honed by Elijahs years in high-stakes battles, it carried a quiet, unshakable resolve.

Alright, everyones watching, Elizabeth said softly, patting Sandra on the shoulder.

She was entirely oblivious to the silent war raging behind her.

Sandra straightened, wiping away her tears.

Elijah strode toward Elizabeth with measured purpose.

He took the jacket draped over Olivers arm and, in a few swift steps, reached Elizabeth.

Without a word, he pulled off the jacket loosely hanging on her shoulders, tossed it toward Daxton, and replaced it with his own.
