Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 636:

Jett had been trying to reach Fannie on his phone, but she had blocked him. She was annoyed that he had involved her parents in forcing her into a relationship with him. However, with Bobby nearby, she needed to maintain appearances with Jett.

“I’m okay, I’m nearly home.”noveldrama

Jett’s concern persisted. “I’ll stop by to make sure you’re safe. I’ll leave as soon as I know you’re fine!”

“I really am okay.”

There was a pause after Fannie’s reassurance. Then Jett’s voice came, resigned.

“Fifi, are you still upset with me?”

Fannie wished for a real discussion with him, but Bobby’s presence made her uncomfortable.

“Jett, now’s not a good time. Can we talk later?”

“Alright,” Jett agreed. “But I’ll visit your place just to ensure you’re safe. Please don’t worry me.”

Fannie sighed. “Alright.”

She opted not to have Bobby drop her at her door, instead asking to be let out at a crossroad nearby.

“Thanks for the ride,” Fannie said politely. “Take care on your way back.”

Bobby stretched and teased, “You seemed really scared earlier. Hope you manage to sleep without any bad dreams tonight!”

Fannie stopped, catching the teasing tone in Bobby’s voice. Her eyes narrowed.

“What does this have to do with you? Mind your own business!”

With that, she shut the car door with a sharp click and walked toward her house.

Bobby watched her walk away, ready to pull off, when a familiar figure caught his attention in the rearview mirror. Jett sat in his black car across the street, his window down, glaring at Bobby with an intensity that carried across the distance.

Bobby let out a resigned sigh, wondering why it was always him. Once Fannie had disappeared up the path, Bobby stepped out of his car and walked over to Jett.

“Look, don’t get the wrong idea. Something happened at the wedding, and I just gave her a ride home.”

Jett’s face remained stony. “I’m not that petty.”

“Then could you drop the death stare?” Bobby shot back. “You know, if looks could kill, I’d be a goner by now. I have no interest in her. Do you really expect her to ignore every guy out there?”

Jett’s eyes hardened. “I told you last time, stay away from her!”

“Some things… you can’t fight them.” Seeing Jett’s expression darken, Bobby quickly raised a hand. “Fine, fine. I’ll steer clear next time, alright?”

Jett’s shoulders relaxed a fraction. Bobby leaned back against his car door, pulling out a pack of cigarettes. He offered one to Jett.

“Listen, the way you’re pursuing her? Not exactly the smoothest approach.”

Jett’s posture straightened defensively. “I like her, and I’m dead serious about her. I’ve already spoken to her parents about getting engaged, taking things slow. We come from different worlds, you know?”
