My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 140
In the face of Jaxon’s provocation, Vincent might look calm on the surface, but actually, his feelings were turbulent.
He twirled a few rounds with Isabella but kept his gaze on the seemingly amicable couple across from him.
Someone whispered, “I didn’t expect Ms. Salter and Mr. Nightingale to look so good together.”
Vincent caught every word they said.
Instantly, his mood darkened. He thought, ‘How short-sighted these people are. Can’t they see I’m the best match for Olivia?’
He etched their faces and names into his memory, making sure they were at the top of his list the next time any dirty work came up.
At that time, they were competing with their presence and charisma.
He pulled Isabella, drawing closer to Jaxon. Then, he demanded, “Let’s change partners.”
After a few twirls, he pushed Isabella toward Jaxon.
His actions were really dangerous and domineering.
Even though he didn’t want to give in to Vincent’s demand, Jaxon had no choice but to yield with everyone looking at them.
He let go of Olivia, handing her over to Vincent and catching Isabella steadfastly.
At that moment, everyone realized that Olivia was the woman Vincent fancied.
Isabella’s temper sp iked again. Since she couldn’t dance with Vincent, she would rather not dance.
Thus, she left the dance floor.
Since it was rare for the employees to go on an outing, their focus was having a good
time.
They had prepared several agendas for the team-building event and specially designed
several games.

Among them was truth or dare.
Everyone had to participate. The questioner would randomly choose a punishment for the loser.
After everyone joined, the atmosphere began to heat up.
When it was Isabella’s turn to ask questions, her gaze honed in on Vincent.
Isabella asked him a question, but Vincent didn’t answer.

Isabella nearly fainted from excitement because she had chosen a sweet punishment for him.
Vincent’s punishment was receiving a kiss from the questioner.
Exhilaration rushed through everyone as they watched with anticipation.
Vincent scanned the faces surrounding him and noted they were all cheering with glee.
In some eyes, Isabella and Vincent were indeed a good match.
The story of the princess confessing her love to the prince and asking for a kiss was very exciting.
It might be the climax of the whole event.
Olivia figured the crowd had lost their mind as cheers and applause echoed around her.
“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”
Olivia felt like she had attended the wrong event. The atmosphere felt more like a wedding.
Unaffected by the cheers, Vincent merely smiled, saying nothing, but his gaze was glued
to Olivia.
Just as Isabella puckered her lips and inched closer to Vincent’s lips, Olivia felt her palms sweat, and restlessness washed over her.
Suddenly, she put her phone to her ear, pretending to answer a call. “All right, I’ll send it to you right away,” she said loudly.
Then, she excused herself, saying she had to return to her room to deal with an urgent
task.
Soon after, she fled the scene quickly.

Actually, she didn’t go back to her room. Instead, she ran to a quiet corner.

Dissatisfied with her reaction earlier, she muttered to herself, “Oh, Olivia, why are you nervous? It’s not like she’s kissing your man.”
After she left, Vincent also found an excuse to leave.
Once again, Isabella became the laughingstock, teased for not grasping onto her crush despite being within reach.
Jaxon watched Olivia and Vincent leave.
Naturally, he knew that Vincent liked Olivia.
He observed Olivia earlier and could tell that she was nervous. She would habitually clench her fists tightly, even embedding her fingernails into her palm.
Her habit didn’t lie.
He didn’t want to believe it, but he had to accept that Olivia had fallen in love with someone else.
In autumn, it was chilly at night at Casa Cloud Villa.
After talking to herself, Olivia looked up at the starry sky. Despite the quietness, her mind was abuzz.
The autumn breeze gusted. Feeling the chill, she couldn’t help but wrap her arms around herself.
Vincent spotted her.
He took off his coat, crossed the distance to Olivia, and placed it over her shoulder like a gentleman.
Olivia caught a whiff of the familiar scent and recognized it was Vincent.
She looked back and smiled at him.
Vincent hugged her from behind.
Olivia didn’t resist.
Finally, the day had come when she didn’t run away from him.
Vincent asked dotingly, “Not running away anymore?”

Olivia looked over her shoulder and smiled. “No, because I can’t escape.”

The two embraced each other under the moonlight with the crickets singing to them.
In the distance, an imposing man stood by a tree.
After Olivia left, Jaxon found the remaining activities boring, so he excused himself to walk around and get some air.
Strolling around, he unconsciously arrived there.
The three of them truly were birds of a feather.
However, the scene happening in front of him upset him.
