Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

It was already quite late when they left the cafe. Rose offered to drive Michelle home, but Michelle refused. She needed some time to think, so she wanted to walk home by herself. For the past few years, she'd always tried her best to be as busy as possible to take her mind off Jared. Nevertheless, seeing news about him still made her heart ache. It was even more painful than when she received his call.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down and alleviate the pain in her heart. Even though she closed her eyes, the image of the enchanting woman she saw standing beside him in the news couldn't be dispelled from her mind. They... They were a perfect match.

Before she knew it, she already arrived in front of a white house. She looked up and found that she was actually standing in front of the Greenwoods' house. Once upon a time, this house was the place where her only happiness existed. Now, however, this was nothing but an empty building for her.

As she shifted her gaze, something under the dim yellow light of the streetlamp caught her attention. The phoenix trees around the street were swaying in the moonlight. From under their shadow, a man in black walked in her direction under the yellow light. Michelle squinted to get a clearer look. The moment she realized who the man was, she was instantly dumbfounded.

"Jared …" she mumbled dazedly. But how could he possibly be here? Maybe she was just seeing things. At that thought, she quickly shook her head in an attempt to clear her mind.

The man was obviously not just her imagination as he continued to stride towards her. The man came closer and closer towards her, and her instinct was telling her to run away.

She turned around, ready to make her escape. However, her wrist was caught, and she was pulled back hard. Before she could respond, she already slammed into a muscular chest. A pair of strong arms soon ringed around her, imprisoning her in a familiar, warm embrace.

"Chelle ..." Jared whispered affectionately. His eyes misted with tears. The past three years had been excruciating for him. He missed her so much and wanted to hold her in his arms. It'd be a dream coming true if he could hold her like this for the rest of his life.
