My billionaire ex-husband wants me back

Chapter 1

The day has gone and it was night already. The moon shone so bright outside, which illuminated everywhere.

The chitchat of the Watson's family which erupted from the spacious living room rented the air. They could all be heard chatting and laughing heartily.

In the master's bedroom, Scarlet Andy was folding the clothes she had washed earlier. The air was hot which made her face flushed and her vision blurry, she looked at the heap of clothes on the bed and her heart sank. She had been washing all day and her fingers were bruised. Sweat dripped down her forehead which she wiped away with the back of her hand as she sat down on the bed.

She had been sick for a couple of days now, however, she was yet to get medicine or give her body rest for like ages.

“Are you going to spend forever, folding those clothes huh! you are so slow and annoying.” Clair Watson fumed at her, standing at the door.

Scarlet wiped her forehead with the end of her dress and bit her lower lip. She was used to her sister-in-law's nasty and mean attitude, so she was less concerned about her words.

But never for once did her not his family appreciate her efforts. She didn't bother much about his family if only Lucas had treated her differently. But she was nothing in his eyes. She couldn't be compared to Maria Owen, his perfect girl.

To further get her angry, Claire sneered at her.

“Look here Scarlet, listen to me, you know you wouldn't have been married to my brother if only Uncle Lewis wasn't being such a pest. Maria was sick and we could not go ahead and get her married to our brother, she needed all the rest she could get. I mean, it's a year of marriage already and look at you, old and unattractive with no child to show for it.”

Lucas' suit dropped from her hand, she had no idea she had been holding onto it all these while. Tears welled up in her eyes at this moment. She watched Claire leave, while she sobbed silently.

Just then she heard Lucas' voice. He was speaking with a familiar female. His voice
