Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 320

Chapter 312

That night,

Lysander got a phone call. Without a word of explanation or even returning to his room, he just left.

It was Leonard who ended up driving Mila back to campus.

For days after that, Lysander never sought her out. She didn't bump into him at school; even Leonard seemed to have vanished from the hallways.

It was as if they had both disappeared without a trace.

At the time, Mila mostly felt relieved. Honestly, she was grateful Lysander had something else to occupy him-dealing with him always took so much energy and willpower.

The less he came looking for her, the better.

Their contractual relationship was quietly running out of time, each day ticking it closer to the end.

She buried herself in her project work, letting the days blur past.

A week before the contract was set to expire, Mila's project group-led by Forrest finally made some progress. To celebrate, everyone went out for dinner together. The restaurant was packed, full of laughter and chatter. As they walked down the corridor toward their private dining room, they ran into a boisterous group of guys-Lysander's usual basketball buddies-arguing loudly about something.
