My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 266 The night stretched on, its silence broken only by the soft glow of the moon, casting intricate shadows across the room.

Elizabeth stirred, her eyes fluttering open to find the bed empty.

Elijah was gone.

She hadnt expected him to stay anyway.

She stretched, her body languid after hours of undisturbed rest.

Her fingers reached for her phone on the nightstand, and the screen illuminated her faceit was already past eleven.

A small yawn escaped her lips as she swung her legs off the bed, the carpets plush fibers cushioning her bare feet.

She reached for her robe, slipping it on with a practiced ease, and made her way to the door.

The hallway greeted her with silence, save for the faint tap of her steps on the hardwood floor.

Willow stood a few feet away, her attention fixed on the glow of her phone screen.

Her thumbs moved swiftly, typing out a message.

Elizabeths brows knitted together.

Willow, what are you doing here? The question startled Willow, and she jerked her hand, nearly dropping the device.

She turned, her face painted with a forced smile.

Oh, Mrs.

James, she stammered, tucking the phone into her apron pocket.

Its nothing.

My son just sent me a message.

I thought Id check if you needed anything.
