The CEO Wants To Divorce Me -
Chapter 60
"I don't think it's appropriate for you, Mr.James,to appear here, is it?"Noah saw that Ezra did not speak and took a step forward holding Arabella,revealing a strength in his seemingly gentle tone.
"Let go of your hand!"Ezra let out a low growl,his slightly narrowed eyes filled with hostility and anger,"Do you know who the woman is that you touched?"
Noah didn't flinch,puffed out his chest and locked eyes with Ezra.
"And if I don't, why should Mr.James care about my relationship with Arabella when he has the audacity to bring his mistress in front of the media?"Noah mocked,"How about you start by explaining to everyone who the woman you're holding now is?Why did you bring her to your father-in-law's funeral?" Noah's words spoke to the hearts of many journalists in the room.
About the relationship between Ezra and his mistress,and Arabella,almost everyone present had heard about it, but none of them dared to ask Ezra about it.
"I said, let go of your hand!"Ezra exuded a dangerous aura,and his deep eyes looked like they were covered with a layer of frost,and he felt a chill invade his body when he met his sight.
Noah didn't flinch, looking straight at Ezra,his grip on Arabella tightening another round.
Beth had felt Ezra's breathing begin to catch,and it was clear that he was angry and about to have a fit.
Damn it!This is not the outcome she wanted!
Beth couldn't help but curse the whole sudden Noah in her mind.everything was going to go the way she thought it would, she was going to see Arabella anger Ezra and make their conflict grow bigger and bigger.
But this Noah is ruining her vision.She knows Ezra,and for Noah to challenge his possessiveness in this way would send things in the opposite direction.
No,we can't let Ezra stay here any longer!
"Ezra,l suddenly feel a little sick to my heart,I think I might need to take a break......."Beth's body shifted and leaned her weight on Ezra's body,with a begging voice ringing in Ezra's ear.
Just see her clutching the left side of her chest, her face is pale and looks like she is holding back great pain.
Ezra's pupils involuntarily contracted when he saw Beth's frail appearance. He did not have time to think about it,directly held Beth in his arms,full of warning gaze swept from Arabella and Noah's body, and then turned to leave. Until Ezra and Beth's figure completely disappeared, Arabella was relieved, and had been braced to stand almost limp body,fortunately by Noah's quick eye to hold.
"Are you okay,Arabella."
"I'm fine,Noah,thank you very much."Arabella braced herself to stand firm,and after briefly thanking Noah,she dragged her heavy steps to continue officiating at the funeral. Looking at her thin but strong back,a trace of pain flashed in Noah's eyes.
If only he was her husband, he would have loved her well......
"Arabella,I'm sorry about what happened at Ruth's house,going forward, I hope you get your act together soon and take care of yourself,and you take care of your mother."
The last person to say goodbye was Grace's best friend, who heartily took Arabella's hand,comforted her and even wiped her eyes secretly when she left.
Arabella's eyes were red,her parents had been good people all their lives, and even when her father was on his deathbed with that kind of crime,so many people still believed in him and came to his funeral.
Now that her father is gone,she should be stronger,her mother is in bad shape and needs her care,and her father,too,needs her to clear his name!
"Arabella,what are your future plans?Are you going back to him?"Noah hadn't left yet;he had been waiting behind Arabella.
At that,Arabella nodded,"My mother is still in Ezra's hands,and I have to go back."
"But,I'm worried that Ezra he will hurt you...... Why don't you don't go back first,or,you can go stay at Emma's house for a while!"Noah said worriedly.
Arabella laughed:"He can't possibly kill me,can he?I'm all alone now,there's really nothing to be afraid of."
Seeing that she was so insistent, Noah couldn't say anything more," Then I'll drive you back, right?"
"No need,I can just take a taxi back by myself.noah,you've helped me enough,in the future, it's better for you to stay out of my affairs."
Not expecting her to say such a thing, Noah froze for a moment,"Why?Arabella,did I do something wrong?"
"I've already dragged my parents into this, and I don't want to drag my friends into it.noah,the more you help me,the more Ezra will target you,and I'm afraid he'll one day strike out to hurt you......." "But I'm not afraid!"
"I'm scared! You don't know him,you don't understand how cold he is, he's already threatened me with Emma, Noah,and you'll be next!"
"Arabella......"Noah didn't know what to say for a moment, what did he not know about Arabella's words?He only hated himself for being too weak to fight against Ezra,much less protect Arabella. In the end,Noah didn't send Arabella home;she called for a car and took her home.
"Madam,what's wrong with you?Why are your clothes all wet?I'll have someone prepare a change of clothes for you."Arabella just stepped into the door,the housekeeper greeted her and said with concern.
Arabella shook her head,signaling that there was no need to prepare. The butler tried to speak up to persuade her, but was interrupted by Arabella speaking up,"Is Ezra here?"
"Mr.James has been in Miss Beth's room since he got back, do you need me to call him out for you?"The butler didn't know what was going on, but he was still very happy that Arabella had taken the initiative to ask about Ezra. In his opinion,Ezra still has feelings for Arabella,and if Beth hadn't sabotaged it,so much wouldn't have happened at all.
"No need."Arabella laughed mockingly,then added,"Help me prepare a car,I'll be packing some luggage later and may need your help putting it in the car for a bit."
"Madam,you......."The butler's expression became surprised.
"Butler,thank you for taking care of me all this time, I'm ready to leave."After Arabella said this,she went upstairs before the housekeeper could react.
The housekeeper came back to his senses and sighed softly, his expression full of emotion.
Maybe, leaving is a good choice for the lady......
Arabella carefully stroked every piece of furniture in the room where she had lived for three years and which had accompanied her through this difficult and lonely time. But now,she had to go.
Arabella opened her closet and picked out a few clothes to pack in her suitcase, and then opened her jewelry box and picked out the jewelry her father and mother had given her. Suddenly,her eyes rested on a heart-shaped brooch set with rubies.
She froze,picking up the brooch,and the memory came unbidden to her.
This is Ezra's first and only gift to her.Although it was only his client who didn't want it, he just gave it to her casually, but she has always treated it as a treasure and never could afford to wear it. Arabella was so absorbed in her thoughts that she held the brooch firmly in her hand and didn't even notice that her palm had been pierced.
"Arabella,why are you still attached to him?He is the one who killed your father and imprisoned your mother.Ezra is your enemy, how can you hold on to your enemy?" "Ticker......ticker......"
Blood kept dripping down the palm of her hand to the ground, but Arabella didn't react in the slightest,except for those beautiful eyes filled with sadness and anger. After a while,her eyes became very determined,as if she had made some major decision.Immediately after that, she accelerated the packing speed again. "What are you doing?!"Ezra's voice,tinged with shock and anger,suddenly rang out in the doorway.
Arabella froze for a moment, but as if she hadn't heard anything,she picked up the speed in her hands again.
Ezra,seeing that he was being outright ignored,strides in and grabs Arabella's hand:"Can't you hear me when I'm talking to you?"
The brooch in Arabella's hand fell to the ground, and blood flowed down her white wrist.
Looking at the brooch on the ground, Ezra felt some familiarity, but could not recall where he had seen it before.
Ezra looked around and spotted Arabella's half-packed suitcase,and his face turned hard:"You want to get out of here?"
"Yes,since you won't sign the divorce papers,then we should not see each other for a while."Arabella nodded stiffly and replied in a surprisingly calm tone.
"Who gave you permission to move out?"Ezra suddenly raised his volume,incredulous.
Who gave this woman permission to move from here?
The thought of not being able to see Arabella in the villa in the future made him unable to suppress his inner irritation.
Or is the reason why Arabella wanted to move out to be with Noah?
This thought popped into Ezra's head, and his irritation grew again.
"Did you move out to make it easier to go out with Noah?"
Although the tone is questionable, but in Ezra's mind has already confirmed the guess.
Hearing Ezra's question,Arabella laughed mockingly,"I just don't want to see you and Beth,two murderers,you make me sick to my stomach!"
Arabella said,while trying to break free from Ezra's hand. But his strength was so strong that Arabella could not break free.
"I won't allow it!We are legally married, without my permission,you will never be able to leave this villa!"Ezra's grip on Arabella's wrist gradually tightened,and his eyes gradually glowed scarlet.
"You let go of me!It's enough to have you and your mistress living here,my father is dead,and why must you hold me prisoner!Why don't you let me go?"Arabella growled out with red eyes.
She didn't understand why Ezra wouldn't let her go,why he was torturing her like this.Wasn't he the one who initiated the divorce?Wasn't he disgusted with her?
"Because you're still my wife!As long as we are not divorced,you have no right to leave me, let alone find another man,even if you are imprisoned in your room,I will not let you leave!"Ezra finally released his grip on Arabella's wrist and looked at Arabella condescendingly,as if he was looking at a slave master looking at his slave.
"This is illegal for you!Even if you are my husband,you have no right to imprison me!I am a human being and I have human rights!"Arabella shouted incredulously.
Ezra laughed grimly:"So what if it's illegal?Who will know?And even if they do,who can do anything about it?"
He narrowed his eyes and took a serious look at the hedgehog-like woman in front of him.As if as soon as he reached out towards her,he would be stabbed by her. Arabella has changed,she now does not listen to him in everything and always defies his wishes.
Who was it? Who on earth taught her to do this?
Could it be Noah,could she really be in love with Noah?
Ezra no longer dared to continue thinking about it, he felt his sanity almost consumed by jealousy.
Step by step, he closed in on Arabella until he had her cornered against the wall.
