Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 715:

Selma’s gaze lingered on him, filled with yearning. “You’ve said ‘the last time’ before, yet here we are again.”

Her words highlighted Jett’s ongoing struggle with restraint. He met her gaze, his expression unreadable.

“What are you implying?”

“Jett, some things can’t be undone or forgotten, no matter how much we wish otherwise.”

With a piercing glare and a sinking feeling, Jett muttered, “Have you left any evidence behind? Photos? Videos? I’m warning you, Selma Todd, don’t test my patience.”

Selma let out a soft chuckle. “Jett, they’re planning a movie soon. Think you could give me a hand? I don’t need the starring role—just the third female lead would be enough.”

Jett frowned. “Has this been your scheme from the start? Did you seek me out solely to advance your own career?”

Selma looked away, her eyes drifting to the lively crowd at the adjacent tables. Their laughter and cheer stood in stark contrast to her current plight.

Lacking solid support, she wondered how much longer she could endure the relentless pace of this cutthroat industry.

“Jett, if you help me, I won’t jeopardize my future. I just need someone to support my growth.”

Though Selma did feel a certain tenderness toward Jett, the thought of declaring her love terrified her more than exposing her professional ambitions.

Admitting her career ambitions might bring some benefits, but revealing her true feelings could lead to complete desolation.

When Fannie found Judie, she was outside, deep in conversation and laughter with Bobby.

Resting against the wall, Bobby held a cigarette, his laughter mirroring the amusement he found in Judie’s words. Fannie, observing from a distance, couldn’t help but think that Jett was no match for Bobby when it came to charm and charisma. Bobby could share an intimate moment with her in the restroom and then turn around to shower Judie with unrestrained affection. It seemed his mission was to make every woman feel uniquely valued.

As soon as Bobby spotted Fannie, his attention shifted from Judie. He flicked the cigarette to the ground and watched her approach, his gaze unwavering.

Judie followed Bobby’s line of sight, noticing Fannie as well.

The first thing Fannie noticed was the smeared lipstick on Judie’s face and the unmistakable red stain on Bobby’s collar.

“Fannie! What are you doing here? Have you had that showdown with Selma and your jerk of a boyfriend?” Judie called out.

Fannie hesitated for a moment, realizing that Judie probably knew more than she let on. How could she have ever trusted Bobby to keep anything secret?noveldrama

“I’m still deciding on my next steps, so let’s keep this between us,” Fannie replied, her tone cool but guarded.

“Of course!” Judie responded eagerly. “Just promise me I’ll be there to witness the fireworks when you confront them.”
