The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 259

“Half an hour??”

She ignored him yesterday, and he ended up kneeling for almost an hour!

However, Eder wouldn’t tell her that.

He simply shook his head with an innocent look on his face. “You personally applied the medicine to my hand, so I thought you didn’t want me to apply it to my knee.”

Afraid that he might appear too pitiful and be noticed by the woman he loved, he quickly added, “Actually, it was also because it was too late after my workout last night, and I forgot.”

Grace didn’t pay attention to his intentions, and cunning schemes at all because Ava’s words at her office door kept echoing in her mind.

It made her feel a mix of emotions.

“Is your hand still hurting? Let me see.”

Eder obediently laid his left hand flat and presented it in front of her.

Despite applying medicine last night, his palm was still swollen and had a purplish–blue tinge. “Was it already this severe last night?”

“No, it might be because when I was doing push–ups late at night, I was supporting myself with my hands, and my palms were pressed down, causing poor blood circulation and resulting in the swelling. Besides, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

If it doesn’t hurt anymore, it means it was really painful last night.

How could she have done that to him…

Her heart felt tight, uncomfortable, and suffocating.

There was also an unprecedented sense of frustration, causing her eyes to redden involuntarily.

“I’m sorry. She’s right. I haven’t been good to you at all. We agreed that I would spoil you, but all I’ve brought you is pain.”

Although Eder didn’t know who she referred to as ‘she,‘ he keenly sensed the slight choking in her voice.

He used his right hand to lift her lowered chin, and stared into her teary and sparkling eyes. Originally, he just wanted to escape a beating and didn’t intend to make her cry with his pitiful act. Seeing her feeling guilty and sad, he felt extremely remorseful. He gently caressed her small face with tenderness atid compassion.

“Silly girl, a few punches from your little fist is enough to cause pain? You underestimate your man. And, if my lady beats me, it’s only natural for a married couple!”
