Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 917:

To anyone walking by, it might have seemed like an intimate moment between a young couple.

But the words that followed were anything but sweet.

“Did you understand?”

Addie was so scared that her face went pale, and she nodded numbly.

As soon as Rickey released her, she immediately ran away.

When she returned to her parents, she still hadn’t recovered from her fear.

“Addie, what’s wrong?”

Addie bit her lip tightly. “Nothing.”

“Oh, I just saw Rickey’s dad. Do you know that Rickey is planning to go abroad to study business?”

The words struck Addie like a thunderclap. Her head shot up, her eyes wide with disbelief.

“What?”

“You didn’t know?”

The realization hit Addie like a tidal wave. If Rickey went abroad, Aurora would be left without her ever-present guardian. No wonder he had threatened her just now.

A sly grin spread across Addie’s lips as she pieced it together. Rickey’s arrogance, his confidence—it was all meaningless now.

So what if she bullied Aurora? Rickey wouldn’t be around to step in. Did he really think he could protect her from half a world away? Impossible.

On that scorching hot afternoon, Aurora saw Dunn’s message light up her phone.

She was in the midst of organizing her notes at the time.

Parents swarmed in after the exam, eager to get their hands on her study guides.

Kalel had made a small fortune by photocopying hundreds of copies. Bobby, thinking ahead to his daughter’s university days, playfully requested a copy too.

Yet Kalel audaciously named his price. “Eight hundred and eighty, no bargaining.”

Bobby nearly exploded in anger. “You little brat, just like your folks, obsessed with money? Charging me, of all people?”

“These notes are Aurora’s painstaking work. She wrote every word, and each reflects her dedication. Money can’t quantify her effort, but since you’re practically family, I’ll cut you a deal at eight hundred and eighty. Consider it an investment in Aurora’s education.”

“Fine,” Bobby said, and even added a bit extra, sending over a thousand dollars.

Bobby later discovered that Kalel gifted Aurora’s notes at celebrations throughout the year, not only gaining favor but also cutting costs significantly. It was clear why Kalel had a knack for business, being the son of Shawn and Katherine.

As Aurora and Kalel were bundling up the last of the materials, Dunn’s message arrived, sending her heart racing.

Dunn simply asked if she could find the time to return his handkerchief.

That evening, after returning home and meticulously cleaning the handkerchief, Aurora placed it in a gift box.

“Kalel, something’s come up; could you finish up here?” she asked.noveldrama

“Sure.”
