Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 728:

As Fannie and Jett’s argument escalated, Dulce returned. Even though Jett was her brother, she could clearly see his faults in this dispute.

“Jett, stop this now! Release Fannie! She’s never had feelings for you. You imposed this relationship on her!” Dulce interjected with fierce determination, ignoring any potential backlash as she guided Fannie towards the car. “Go on, I’ll handle things here.”

“Thank you, Dulce. Would you mind apologizing to your parents for me?”

“Don’t worry about it. This mess is Jett’s doing.”

Contemplating for a brief moment, Fannie admitted, “Well, I’d be lying if I said it was all on him—I have my own shortcomings too.”

“Forget it. Let your history with Jett end tonight. And don’t forget, you owe me one now!”noveldrama

“Best friend!” Fannie exclaimed with a warm smile, patting her heart. “I owe you big time, next round’s on me.”

“Let’s not wait for a next time.” Dulce’s eyes darted around, checking for eavesdroppers, before she leaned in closer, lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. “Why don’t you and Bobby get a little closer, infiltrate their gang, and then introduce me to Michael?”

Fannie was amused by Dulce’s words. “Dulce, there’s absolutely nothing going on between me and Bobby, and it’s time you let go of your fixation with Michael.”

“Come on, where’s the harm in trying to meet someone adorable? After all, you did just call me your best friend. Are you really going to leave me hanging like this?”

“Fine, fine,” Fannie conceded with a laugh. “I’ll see what I can do, no promises though!”

Dulce finally relaxed, her smile brightening as she took a step back. Fannie’s car rolled away, its tail lights vanishing into the twilight.

Turning, Dulce caught sight of Jett charging towards the door, his face twisted in rage. Her heart pounded with fear that Jett might lose control. She reached out, clutching his arm. “Jett, where are you going?”

Haven’t you had your fill of drama today? You know you were at fault here…

“Get out of my way!”

Dulce, having never witnessed Jett this incensed, dared not further inflame his fury. With shaking hands, she stepped aside. As Jett’s car sped away, Dulce dashed back inside the house. “Dad! Mom! Something terrible is happening!”

Jett’s destination wasn’t to chase down Fannie. He was out to confront Bobby.

It was a common misconception that only women possessed intuition. Men were also gifted with a sixth sense. Jett was convinced that Bobby and Fannie had been together in the neighboring bathroom stall. Although he and Selma had betrayed Fannie, did that justify Bobby and Fannie’s actions?

Bobby had meddled in his relationship, and for that, Jett was determined to settle scores.

He burst through the door of Flex Club’s private room with such force that the revelers, lost in the rhythm of the music, scattered in panic. Jett’s glare was so fierce that although someone hurled an insult his way, a meeting with his lethal stare silenced any further words.

“Get out. All of you.”
