Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 34: He Came To Scrounge Free Meals Off Her 

It took her a while, but it dawned on Sandra why their CEO requested the lawyer present a copy of the divorce contract to Patricia to sign as well. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

It was simply because he wanted to do right by his ex-wife, so he planned on leaving some properties in her name and writing it off as compensation. It became more apparent by the day that the CEO had feelings for Patricia, even if he didn't realize them yet.

Sandra saw it when he instigated her to promote his relationship with Lyndsy to see how Patricia would react.

Yesterday's events, whereby he had gotten furious after what had happened to Patricia, was another obvious indicator. What was more, Patricia was such a kind, stubborn, and proud person.

Even if it meant being homeless, she would never accept any kindness from the CEO.

I And now that she had lost her husband, what good would it do to take his money now? Besides, she could earn her own money and support herself without his help.

Deliberating on this, Sandra felt guilty again, and in her heart, she whispered, ‘Miss Su, I'm sorry! I hope you don't blame me for what I've done!’ At noon, in the hospital, having been lying on the bed for the whole morning, Patricia became dispirited.

Except for the sound of the TV in the ward, almost no one came into the ward, not even a nurse.

"Damn it! What's going on here?"

feeling annoyed, she cursed in a low voice.

Since her divorce, she noticed that she'd become more irritable and swore more often.

This version of herself wasn't someone that she like being.

"Growls..."

Her stomach started rumbling again.

Patricia touched her belly helplessly and sighed.

Turning her head towards the clock on the wall, she noticed that it was already twelve o'clock.

No wonder she felt hungry! She slowly sat up and put on her shoes.

Intending to get food, she slowly hoisted herself off the bed.

However, from the moment she stood up, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Just as she shut her eyes in anticipation of the sharp fall to the ground, she felt herself pressed against something soft.

When she opened her eyes, she realized she was in someone's arms.

As she turned and was about to say: thanks, she bit back her words when she discovered who had broken her fall.She rolled her beautiful eyes and looked at him piercingly.

Impatiently, she said, "What are you doing here again?"

As she spoke, she removed herself from Zac's arms and sat on the bed. She donned an expressionless mask as she looked everywhere by at Zac.

Of course, the person who had caught her had to be Zac! He had reminded his secretary to buzz him at half past eleven and order take-out that he could bring over to Patricia.

Consequently, as he opened the door to her ward, he saw her about to fall on the ground.

This sight prompted him to rescue her from further injury. He hadn't expected that she would be furious about this save.What did he do wrong besides helping her?

Nevertheless, he didn't want to pointlessly argue with her, not after the termination of a life before it could see the light of day.

Zac raised the food in his hand and said coldly, "I'm here to bring you food!"

After saying that, he walked to the table, placed the food on it, and began to repeat what he had done that morning.

He wiped her hands and face and then set up the bed table.

He put the food on the table, and moved it to the front of Patricia.

"Let's eat!"

Zac sat down and handed her a pair of chopsticks before picking up one for himself to eat with.

Patricia couldn't hide the look of surprise written all over her face.

Her hand holding the chopsticks had frozen mid-air as she forgot momentarily about eating.

‘What was wrong with this man? Wasn't he a neat freak? Didn't he never want to have meals with me before? Did his head get kicked by a donkey today? No, there were no donkeys in the city! Maybe he had squeezed his head in the door? Yes, that had to be it!’ Seeing how Patricia was focused on him instead of eating, Zac realized he needed to do something to get her to eat.

In an aloof tone, he said, "I rushed over from the company, so I didn't have time to eat. And there's enough in here for the two of us!"

Hearing Zac's words, Patricia looked at him in contempt.

It appeared that he had come here to scrounge free meals off her.She had briefly forgotten that the food she was about to eat was bought by Zac.

Even the hospital fees for her stay were covered by him! Without saying another word, Patricia began to eat.

She picked up anything that Zac laid his eyes on, making her look like a food snatcher! Zachary had intended to have some eggplant, but Patricia had intentionally grabbed up the piece he was eyeing.

Leaving him with no other choice, he turned his attention to the braised pork.

But before his chopsticks could touch the braised pork, she had snatched up a slice and placed it into her bowl.

Munching away with gusto, she praised the pork by saying, "This is delicious!"

The corners of Zac's mouth twitched.

He glanced at her coldly, but she showed no fear of him.

She glared right back at him with her beautiful, clear eyes, and a smug smile appeared on her face.

She raised her eyebrows at Zac complacently, and the innocence in her eyes was replaced by defiance and confidence.

Patricia's head was still wrapped in a bandage, and she looked a little pale.

But, at that moment, with her easy-going smile and provocative eyes, Zac suddenly felt that, in fact, she was quite lovely! If Sandra was there and learned what was on his mind, she would definitely curl her lips in disdain.

She knew that the CEO was a masochist! He liked to be abused, especially by his ex-wife! Of course, even if she was aware of this, she would not say it out loud.

She even felt that her boss needed to have someone teach him a lesson so that he would know how it felt to be beaten.

At this moment, Patricia was in a very good mood.

In the past, Zac had refused to have meals with her and always came up with an excuse to skip eating together.

So, whenever he left after doing this, she couldn't help but feel dejected at never having shared a meal with her husband.

Now, she could finally have fun and exact some revenge on Zac for all the suffering she experienced over those three years.

As she thought of this, the conceited smile on her face became more evident.

She swore to herself that she would keep this energy going and continue to provoke him.

This thought made her secretly happy.

However, Zac wasn't planning on sitting idly and began thinking of ways to handle her trickery.

Ignoring her provocation, he reached for the eggplant again.

Seeing that Zac was going for the eggplant again, Patricia rushed in with her chopsticks and snagged the piece he was eyeing.

As soon as this happened, Zac quickly maneuvered his chopsticks over to the braised pork in the nearby lunchbox, picked it up and stuffed it in his mouth.

Pleased with himself, he chewed on his meal while eyeing her with a smug expression on his face.

It was as if to say, ‘You can try to stop me from eating, but I wouldn't fold!’ Seeing that Zac managed to get some food, Patricia became glum and ashamed! Placing the eggplant in her mouth, she chewed on it savagely, as if chewing Zac's meat flesh.

This image helped her quell her anger.

Finally, she finished chewing the eggplant.

She hit the table with the chopsticks and pointed a white and slender finger at Zac's nose.

She angrily criticized, "You tricked me!"

Zac, satisfied with her reaction, arrogantly arched an eyebrow and whistled at her while feigning innocence.

Patricia wanted to wipe that expression off his face!
