The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 305

Chapter 305 A pang of pain struck Grace’s heart. So this was how he always thought. He considered himself a burden, and he felt guilty about being with her. He also believed he would die soon. She sighed softly, reaching out to touch him. “Eder, listen to me…” He shrugged off her hand, turned away from her, and sobbed. Even his shoulders trembled. After enduring and suppressing his emotions for so long, he finally mustered up the courage. “I know he was your first love, and you have a history together. If you still have feelings for him and insist on choosing him, I’ll step aside!” Without even looking back, he made his way upstairs. Grace was left dumbfounded and infuriated. After a brief moment of confusion, she chased after him. “Eder! What nonsense are you spouting? Is your brain filled with tofu?” Eder walked faster and faster, swiftly ascending to the third floor. With a loud slam, he forcefully shut the door and locked it. Grace rushed up the stairs, and just as she arrived, he closed the door, almost hitting her foot, and accidentally bumping her head against the door. She stared at the tightly shut door, her anger rising. “Eder, are you feeling brave enough to lock me out? What are you sulking about? Can’t you listen to my explanation for a moment? Will you die if you open the door?” She stood outside the door for two minutes, but there was no sound coming from inside, no indication that he intended to open the door. It was already late at night, and Grace had been busy all day without a moment’s rest. She was exhausted. Who would have thought she would come home to face Eder’s cold shoulder? Her patience was wearing thin from men tal and physical exhaustion. “If you don’t want to listen to my explanation, suit yourself. Take a couple of days to calm down, and we’ll talk later.” The only response she received was prolonged silence. She didn’t say anything else and turned around to go back to her adjacent room.

Behind the door, Eder slid down to the ground and hugged his knees, his arms wrapped tightly around them. He didn’t turn on the lights, and he remained enveloped in darkness. Having taken medication to suppress his angina for a long time, he didn’t experience an attack this time. However, he felt pain throughout his body, as if every limb and bone ached. The air around him was silent, eerily quiet, making his heart race with unease. Pressing against the door, he listened carefully to the sounds outside.. There didn’t seem to be any noise in the adjacent room. Did Grace fall asleep so quickly?

While pondering this, the light in the room flickered on with a click. The sudden bright light blinded him, making it difficult to open his eyes. In the few seconds that he was disoriented, his wrists were bound tightly with a belt, restraluing him. And there, in such close proximity, was Grace’s beautiful face. “It’s you?” Grace stared into his eyes, a provocative smile on her lips. “Who told you not to lock the balcony. door? I climbed in from next door. Smart of me, right?” 11:59 The Mullunaire and Ha Billionaire Ex wife Chapter 305 Eder felt frustrated, struggling against the tight restraints. “Untic me!” “Oh, do you really want to calm down? If I leave you alone, do you think you can sleep? Were you planning to sit by the door all night?” She lightly flicked his chin with her finger. He turned his face away, emitting a sour expression. “Meeting with Nick late at night, do you think I can sleep? Tomorrow, pack your things and go to him?” Frowning. Grace asked, “What’s with this jealousy of yours? Can’t you listen to my explanation?” “You came back and lied to me. Do you expect me to listen to more of your excuses? I only trust my investigation results.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Grace’s anger flared up again. “Have I spoiled you too much lately? Are you trying to pick a fight with me for no reason? When I talk to you calmly, you don’t listen, and you force me to get physical?” Eder coldly snorted, refusing to look at her, emanating a chilling and menacing aura. Unfazed, she swiftly opened the closet, grabbed a random white shirt, crumpled it into a ball, and forcefully stuffed it into his mouth. Then she lifted him up from the waist and threw him mercilessly onto the large bed. The bed was soft, so Eder wasn’t hurt when he landed. After rolling around on the bed for a moment, he grumbled a few times and glared at her with accusing eyes. Grace ignored his gaze and took a belt from the clothes hanger. She then tied his restless ankles. She lifted his hands above his head and used another belt to fasten his wrists to the corner post of the bed. “Don’t move! Struggling will only hurt you. If you bruise yourself, I’ll have to apply medicine!” she warned. Eder was about to explode with anger. His chest heaved violently, and his angry gaze remained fixed on her. He had never been this furious about her before. Grace sat calmly on the edge of the bed, watching his futile struggles. She gently stroked his chest with her palm and taunted, “Glares can’t kill, so don’t waste your efforts. If you refuse to listen to explanations, I can only enforce my own methods.” “I hate being misunderstood. If you want to accuse me falsely, that won’t fly!” Under her soothing touch, Eder’s breathing gradually calmed down, though his wrists continued to struggle. She sighed and spoke earnestly, “Listen carefully, I’ll explain it once.” “You are not a burden, nor have you ever held me back. Since I chose you, I will walk with you in this lifetime to matter how difficult it gets!” “As for Nick, I only admired and respected him when I was young, but those feelings have long worn away. He caused you to suffer from the virus, and all I feel towards him is disgust and a burning hatred.”

“We have been through a lot together in this period of time. Can’t you understand my feelings for you? How could you believe I would choose Nick? Do I seem like an indecisive woman?” “I did meet him tonight, and I did arrange for my eldest brother to bail him out. But it’s only because he claims to know a way to cure the virus in your body. It has nothing to do with anything else. I just want to save your life!” JUL After finishing her speech, Eder gradually stopped struggling. He lowered his gaze, his long/curled eyelashes dampened by teardrops. Bound as he was, his exquisitely handsome face appeared vulnerable, as if bullied, while Grace seemed like a domineering female bandit. Grace caressed his face, her eyes glistening with tears, and her gaze gentle. “Are you still angry?” He shook his head. Grace removed the shirt stuffed into his mouth and gently rubbed his slightly sore cheek. “Don’t you have anything to ask me?” His Adam’s apple bobbed lightly as he uttered three words: “I’m sorry.” Grace smiled indulgently and said. “Silly, I forgive you. In an argument, it’s inevitable to say hurtful things. Don’t take it to heart.” How could she be at odds with a patient? Eder felt relieved and wanted to bury himself in her embrace. But then he remembered that his hands were still tied to the bed corner post. “Grace, untie me,” he said, requesting to be released. Once freed from his restraints, he immediately embraced her slender waist and contentedly nestled in her arm5. “Is there really nothing you want to ask me?” Grace repeated. Eder pondered for a moment, his gaze serious. He released himself from her embrace and locked eyes with her. “I found out that you visited Nick in prison half a month ago. Did he tell you about my illness?”

Grace was taken aback. As Eric mentioned, Eder imposed a gag order, considering it a matter of organizational discipline. If it were known that he had leaked the information, the consequences would be severe. With this in mind, she lifted her gaze and replied firmly, “Yes.” Eder’s brow furrowed; his thoughts were organized. “Even Mark couldn’t find a solution to the 5404 bioweapon, so how could Nick know a cure? Even if he knew, he wouldn’t make such a disadvantageous move. Did he use this information to exchange some kind of benefit with you?” Grace was stunned, taking a deep breath. Truly, he was her man. With just a few words, he hit the nail on the head, making her feel conflicted!
