Hunting for His EX-Wife

Mentally prepared in advance, Jimmy simply smiled calmly.

“It’s okay. I won’t be angry. Even if you never remember, it won’t affect my feelings for you. I will create our happiness again.”

Jimmy’s well-defined fingers lightly tapped on her shoulder, and he spoke with a smile near her ear.

The sudden proximity made Olivia’s heart race, and she instinctively took a step back.

“You… you’re the CEO of the company. Can you really keep not going to the company like this?”

Olivia randomly brought up a topic to defuse her embarrassment and the pounding of her heart.

“There are many elites in the company, and even if I’m not there, if the company encounters a major issue, I can control it remotely through the phone,” Jimmy said with a smile.

“Can you… tell me what I used to do before? Do I have any friends? I want to find my friends, or I might be able to recall some things if they tell me something.”

Olivia’s big, watery eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked at Jimmy.

Jimmy let out a sigh.

How should he tell her that her only good friend heartlessly pushed her into the sea, subjecting her to torment?

Seeing his silence, Olivia realized that something was amiss, but a bigger question lay before her.

“You keep saying that I fell into the sea, that I was washed ashore by the waves. Can you tell me why I fell into the sea?”

Olivia’s tone revealed her eagerness for an answer.

Jimmy hesitated for a moment. “Are you sure you want to know?”

Olivia nodded and said, “Of course, I want to know everything.”

Jimmy pulled her to sit on the nearby sofa and began recounting the story of her and Mia. When he reached the part where Mia had pushed her into the sea, Olivia’s face turned to shock.

“I always thought of her as a good friend, but she… she wanted to kill me? How could this woman be so… so cruel? Why does she hate me so much?” Olivia asked anxiously.

Jimmy furrowed his brows. Should he tell her that Mia’s intense hatred might be directed towards her because of him?

“Enough, it’s all in the past now. Don’t dwell on it any longer. Let’s go for a walk outside,” Jimmy suggested, wanting to spare Anna from hearing about such heartless things. He held Olivia’s hand and led her out of the apartment.

Maybe it was because she was too shocked to learn about Mia’s situation, or maybe she had let her guard down with Jimmy a long time ago, but this time when he held her hand, Olivia didn’t shake off his big hand.

Jimmy led her to a small garden near the apartment where a faint floral scent filled the air and made Olivia breathe contentedly.

“This is where we used to come all the time. Every time after dinner, we would take a walk here and sometimes sit here eating ice cream. You complained about wanting to lose weight every day but every time I prepared food for us, you ate so much and were so happy. And you kept telling me that you won’t have energy to lose weight if you don’t eat anything.”

Recalling their past happy moments together, Jimmy showed a smile of happiness on his face.

Were they really that happy before?

Olivia’s clear eyes fell on Jimmy.

Although she had no memory of any of it happening before, when these images formed in front of her eyes, she still felt excited inside.

“I’ll go get some ice cream for you.”

After helping Olivia sit on an adjacent chair, Jimmy turned around and walked forward.

Throughout the day Jimmy took her to several places they used to frequent together while constantly telling stories about their past even though she had no recollection whatsoever; however throughout it all there was always an effervescent smile on Olivia’s face.

It wasn’t until evening that they picked up their son from kindergarten then returned home together.

After dinner as usual, Olivia took their son back into his room, listening as he told stories about what happened at school while letting out a sigh of relief.

“Olivia, what did you do today? Did you spend all day with Daddy?” Jay held onto Olivia’s hand, looking at her with curiosity.

His words brought warm memories flooding back into mind even though there wasn’t much physical intimacy between them; just thinking about those beautiful memories made Oliva’s face light up with joy.

“I went out looking for my old memories.”

“Is there anything you remember?” Jay asked anxiously.

Olivia sighed. “I don’t remember anything.”

Jay felt his mother’s disappointment and quickly took her hand. “You’ll remember in the future, and even if you don’t, Daddy has said that we would create memories as a family of three, right?”

When Jay mentioned Jimmy, his tone became more respectful.

After spending these few days together, he had become increasingly dependent on Jimmy. The fatherly love that had been missing for years always brought a smile to the child’s face.

Seeing her son’s smiling face, Olivia also felt relieved.

After taking care of her son and putting him to bed, Olivia went into the bathroom and enjoyed a hot bath before walking out again.

“Olivia, I want Daddy to tell me bedtime stories. I… I’ve never experienced what it feels like when Daddy tells me stories,” Jay said expectantly while holding a book of bedtime stories in his hand.

Olivia was stunned by her son’s sudden request. Should she call Jimmy in?

Even though the room was spacious enough, there was only one bed inside…

“Olivia, I really want to hear Daddy tell me bedtime stories; otherwise I won’t be able to sleep tonight,” Jay pleaded once again after receiving no response from his mother.

Faced with her son’s hopeful plea, she couldn’t refuse him any longer. “Okay then… I’ll go get him.”

As Olivia left the room, Jay looked at her with watery eyes that sparkled mischievously.

“Daddy, I’ve created the opportunity for you. It’s up to you to seize it.”

When Olivia arrived at Jimmy’s door, she hesitated about knocking but the door suddenly opened.

“What are you doing here? Do you need something?” Upon seeing Olivia standing outside his door, Jimmy couldn’t help but feel surprised.

Did Anna finally remember something from our past? Is that why she came looking for me tonight, to tell me that she will stay in my room?

Noticing Jimmy’s burning gaze, Olivia realized that he had misunderstood, and her little face couldn’t help but turn crimson.

“Don’t misunderstand; it’s Jay who wants you to read him bedtime stories.”

Jimmy’s handsome face showed a hint of disappointment upon hearing this news.

“Okay, I’ll go over now,” Jimmy said.

The two quickly returned to Jay’s room.

Seeing his parents had come back. Jay was beaming with a bright smile.

He handed the bedtime story he was holding directly to Jimmy and then pulled Olivia onto the bed with him.

Even though their son was between them, Olivia still felt inexplicably nervous lying on the same bed as Jimmy for the first time while they read to their son.

Although it was their first time telling a story together, Jimmy seemed at ease and Jay listened happily.

“Daddy, Olivia, you can’t leave tonight. Sleep here with me. I want both of you here when I wake up tomorrow morning,” Jay said as he grabbed both of their hands and placed them on his stomach.

“Neither of you can leave,” he added firmly.

Jimmy and Olivia locked eyes in mid-air after hearing this.

Feeling embarrassed by his gaze, Olivia looked away shyly while Jimmy continued reading until half an hour later when little Jay fell asleep peacefully with even breathing sounds filling the room.

Olivia instinctively wanted to pull her hand away but found that little Jay wouldn’t let go no matter what she did or how hard she tried.

“It will wake him up if we move too much, so just sleep,” Jimmy whispered softly after placing the book on the bedside table beside him before closing his eyes immediately afterwards.

Olivia thought she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep because she shared a bed with him but surprisingly enough, she drifted off soon after closing her eyes herself.

In her dreamscape, happiness surrounded her completely.

Despite the barrier of their son, he lightly tucked Olivia’s hair behind her ear. The profound gaze that had been locked onto her for so long was now tender and fervent.

Though there would be no intimate contact tonight, simply lying on the same bed made Jimmy feel content. Gazing at Anna’s charming sleeping face, he felt warmed.

Jimmy carefully held his son close to his side, while he gently embraced Olivia in his arms and tenderly pecked her forehead.

“Dad, you woke me up.”

Jay’s voice was soft and childish.

Upon hearing his son’s voice, Jimmy immediately made a “shh” gesture, afraid that he would wake up the woman in his arms.

He couldn’t imagine what the consequences would be if Anna found out that he had secretly switched positions.

“Sorry, I woke you up. What can I do for you to forgive me, Jay?” Jimmy asked gently.

Jay turned his eyes, which were filled with a sly gleam.

“Tomorrow morning, we will go to the amusement park to play.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Jimmy immediately made an OK gesture.

Jay closed his eyes happily.

Jimmy’s deep and dark eyes fell back onto Olivia.

“Anna, thank you for being willing to come back into my world. I… love you.”
