Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 525:noveldrama

“Get off me!”

Mila was pushed away yet again but continued to pursue Adrian relentlessly. Within just a few meters, Adrian had to fend her off three times, with Mila clinging to him persistently each time. At his breaking point, Adrian struck Mila across the face.

“Are you happy now?”

Mila touched her cheek, still determined.

“What’s wrong with me?”

Adrian remained silent and expressionless as he picked up the passports and IDs from the bed, confirming they were for Joelle, Aurora, and himself.

“Where are the phones and bank cards?”

Mila responded with frustration, “I didn’t steal them. How would I know? This is all I found!”

Those items weren’t of significant value, and securing the essential documents was the priority. The issue of whether Mila had taken them was irrelevant now; further discussion was futile. The main concern for Adrian was avoiding any prolonged encounter with this unstable woman. If Joelle witnessed this scene, it would be impossible to explain.

“Adrian Miller!” As Adrian headed for the door, Mila’s voice, filled with sadness, echoed behind him. “Do you really disdain me that much?”

Adrian hesitated momentarily but continued without turning back. From behind, the sound of clothing shifting against skin followed by a soft thud on the carpet could be heard. Adrian made a face of disgust as he reached for the doorknob. He would need a thorough shower once he got back to his hotel room, deciding to discard the clothes he was currently wearing.

But as he opened the door, there stood Joelle, with Aurora next to her. He stopped abruptly, as did Joelle. Simultaneously, they asked, “What are you doing here?”

Joelle introduced the man with her, saying, “This is Niko Gray. He claimed he found our belongings, and since you weren’t available, I decided to retrieve them myself.”

Just then, Mila’s cries for help pierced the air.

“Help! He tried to rape me! Help!”

Niko’s expression changed dramatically as he barged in, shouting, “Mila! Mila!”

“Don’t touch me!” Mila appeared, clad only in a towel, pointing furiously at Adrian. “You monster, you tried to assault me! Call the police! I’m calling them right now!”

Niko shot Adrian a menacing look and pulled out his phone. “Don’t worry! I’m dialing the police this instant!”

Joelle quickly grasped the situation and snatched the phone from Niko. No call had yet been made. Adrian took the phone from her and hurled it against the wall, his expression cold. Niko was livid but held back from saying anything.

Aurora observed the unfolding drama, clearly distressed and confused. Joelle, maintaining her composure, picked her up. “It looks like we need a serious discussion.”

Joelle considered Aurora her ultimate priority, but Mila’s actions, especially in front of the child, had crossed a line. Joelle was resolved to address the matter.

After entrusting Aurora to the hotel manager, Joelle and Adrian headed back upstairs.

“Joelle, I didn’t lay a hand on her.”

“I know.”

Joelle was unsettled, but her disgust was directed at Mila. She was confident that even if Adrian were unfaithful, Mila wouldn’t be his choice. It was clear to both Joelle and Adrian that Mila had orchestrated this setup. The missing items were likely another part of Mila’s scheme.
