The Return Of His Ex Wife Chapter 27: Doubts At Home

Derek’s POV

I didn’t understand why lissa loved doing things to make my blood rise! "You will leave this place right now! You understand ??"

"Stop yelling, Nina isn’t asleep." lissa whispered, dragging to our room then she shut the door right. "Okay Derek, why have you been treating this way! I have always been there for you. I care about you and I listen to everything you say--"

"--you called my mother spewing nonsense! This isn’t the first ti, and I have warned you severally. Are you so stupid you don’t listen at all?? I hate when you do stuff like this! And do you know the worse--"

Her phone rang again for like the 100th ti that evening. "lissa, are you cheating on ??"

She scoffed, unable to hide the shock in her eyes. Shock? Was she actually cheating on ??

"Baby, it’s not what you think--" she pleaded but I snatched the phone from her hand to look at who had been calling.

"Who’s this? Who’s Donovan?? Answer , lissa!" I didn’t like raising my voice at her but she really was starting to frustrate .

"It’s nothing. Really, you don’t have anything to worry about!" She yelled in defense.

My blood was already boiling hot, "give the phone. Right now." I snatched the phone from her hand and picked the call as the person had been calling again. "Hello there! Why have you been calling my wife since? Who the hell do you think you are, huh? Answer right now!"

"Derek calm down." lissa pleaded. I could see the fear residing in her eyes. What the hell! She really was cheating on , why?? I was doing everything a good man should do, even after finding out her dark secret, I still stayed and supported her!

"Hey, is lissa Howard your wife? Thank God, uh, she forgot her ID card at the store, so I’m just calling to let her know it’s safe here." The voice on the phone explained. I shot lissa a questioning look, "hello are you there? Tell lissa to co pick up her card at the grocery store where she forgot it."

"No, I’ll co with lissa to pick up the ID card. I’m hanging up now." I didn’t wait to hear what he was about to say before I actually hung up. "So we’re going to the store tomorrow morning before I leave for work."

"Okay." lissa agreed instantly with a big nod. That was too suspicious too! Why would she cheat on though? I provide for her, I love and care for her, why would soone cheat on their partner??!

I felt a pang of pain in my chest as disappointnt struck hard. I cheated on Tara. With lissa. I have wronged Tara. She was so arrogant back then that I panicked! Who was she to divorce ??? What if I never wanted to marry lissa then, huh? Tara should have been calr with , she should have begged ! But then, I should have been better to her.

"Your phone is ringing," lissa cut off my thoughts. "Let get it for you," she hurried towards my desk by the bedside to fetch my phone, but froze right on track. "Derek, who is this?"

"What is it? Why are you looking through my phone, lissa, bring it over here."

"It says it’s a call from Tara. What Tara is this! Your ex wife??"

Wait, she didn’t know this before??

I had just been pestering her that she was cheating on , and here I was receiving calls from my own ex wife. "It’s business related."

lissa looked at with displeasure. Hatred, maybe? But I didn’t care. "Give the phone right now." I commanded. When she didn’t answer on ti, I snatched the phone from her. "Hey Tara, why are you calling late at night? My wife and I were in the middle of sothing important."

I heard a grunted voice over at the end at the phone, like she didn’t give a fuck what I was saying, damn it! Tara and her goddamn pride!

"Sorry for disturbing whatever the heck it was you were doing. But I have work issues to discuss with you." She said.

I looked towards lissa, seeing her face boiling. "Then you should have called in the morning."

"You’re right. Anyway, as you must have known by now, I’ve settled the case with the Hernandez woman. We’re good now, so she invited us to her party. It’s a couples the party by the way, so make sure you co with soone so you don’t embarrass yourself."

"Okay then. I hope you dress good that night for , I trust you though." I didn’t care the looks lissa flashed at . This was strictly business! Nina screeched out loud so suddenly that I nearly had a panic attack. lissa was the one who rushed out, hurrying to attend to our daughter’s needs, while I remained in the room flirting shalessly with Tara.

"Is everything okay back there??" She asked, seeming worried.

"Oh no. It’s nothing. My daughter is just playing really loud. lissa has gone to check up on her." I wish I hadn’t been too specific but it was too late to take anything back.

"Oh okay, that’s good then. I’ll hang up now."

"No wait! Rember when I said I couldn’t wait to see you in your most gorgeous dress at the party? We’re still on that."

There was a pause, like she had an and dangerous things to say, but she kept quiet.

"Listen. I know you’re still angry at . But I feel it would be a good idea that we should go to this party together. It would speak well for our partnership, don’t you think so?"

"No, Derek. Never." She said so fast without any hesitation. Tara must still really hate . I needed to change that, and fast. lissa was starting to cheat on anyway.

"What? It’s not like you have a date or anything. Just co with . lissa is likely going to be busy on that day."

"Derek, I have a date. And even if I didn’t have a date, I would never have stolen lissa’s cue to enjoy a nice relaxing date with her dearest husband."

I actually chuckled to that. "What is this now, are you jealous of lissa?" I teased, waiting for her to blush and take her ti to respond. But instead, I got that annoying new Tara’s cold vibes; seriously, what is wrong with her and her pride??

"I’m hanging up now, Derek. Next ti when you get into trouble at work, I want to be the first person to know about it."

"Wait wait, who are you taking to that party? I didn’t know you were seeing soone." I let my curious side take over. She couldn’t possibly be going with that Hernandez guy--

"That’s my business, Derek. But since we work together and you’re trying so hard to be my number one fan, his na is Arlo Hernandez. You can Google him if you want to. We both know how your arrogant curious side possesses you all the ti."

Her words struck like a lightning would. What?? She was going out with that Hernandez guy??

"Tara, why would you betray like that! I don’t understand--"

"Mommy, is that my daddy you’re talking to?"

What the..."Tara, who is that? Is that-- hello?. Tara?? Damn it, she hung up. So this was it? She was willing to do anything for her business, right! Like sleeping with Mrs Hernandez son to resolve our issue?? But wait, that Hernandez guy had told he and Tara had co a long way together, so they must have already been dating for a while now! Was this jealousy I was feeling? I didn’t know Tara could move on like that! She didn’t love anymore?
