Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 606:

Jett fixed his eyes on the road, his expression calm and collected as he asked, “You like Bobby, don’t you?”

Fannie’s heart sank at his question, her breath catching in her chest.

“Dulce told me a few things about you two,” Jett continued.

“You don’t have to hide it from me; it’s obvious. But he’s not right for you. Deep down, you know it too, don’t you?”

Fannie fell silent for a moment before saying, “Forgetting him isn’t easy, especially when he’s been in my heart for many years.”

“You hardly know him. What you’re feeling is probably just infatuation. Do you know him truly? His habits and preferences? How much have you actually talked to him? Being in a relationship is about building a life together. It takes more than just infatuation to make it work.”

Fannie understood Jett’s concern, but he didn’t need to spell it out for her. She knew the reality of the situation.

“You don’t need to convince me. Since the engagement was called off, I decided I wouldn’t rush into anything—whether with Bobby or you.”

Jett nodded.

“That’s good.”noveldrama

“But I-”

“I understand,” Jett interrupted her as he stopped the car.

“I’ll wait.”

With a soft click, the car door unlocked. Fannie glanced out the window and realized they had reached her apartment complex. Her attempt to clear things up with Jett had now fallen short, as he had subtly steered the conversation away.

“I still have a business meeting to attend. Get some rest,” Jett said.

Fannie stepped out of the car, taking a deep breath to calm her pounding heart.

Jett had driven off the road when he suddenly pulled over to take out his phone and scroll through his contacts.

In Illerith’s business circle, exchanging business cards at networking events was common etiquette. He had the number saved for some time but never imagined he’d reach out for a reason like this.

“Who’s asking?”

Jett’s expression hardened.

“It’s Jett. What did you tell Fannie?”

Bobby asked, “Judging by your tone, did you get rejected?”

“Who gave you the right to stick your nose in my business?”

Bobby chuckled dryly on the other end of the line.

“I’m just doing you a favor.”

“The only favor I want from you is to stay away from Fannie.”

Bobby sighed, his expression smug.

“Where did all your confidence go? I thought you were sure of yourself.”

Jett gritted his teeth, trying to rein in his anger.

“I’ve liked Fannie long before you even showed up.”

Indeed, jealousy could bring out the worst in people.

Bobby began to question what kind of mess he had gotten himself into. First Shawn, now Jett. Why was everyone making his life so difficult?

Sometimes being too charming was a curse.
