Book:Pursue Ex-husband after Rebirth Published:2024-5-1

As soon as Selina entered the ward after checking, she found someone in it. As she saw the one standing by the window, her heart beat faster uncontrollably. “Darren…” That guy turned around slowly, “Selina, it’s me.” Eric looked at her worriedly. He rushed towards Selina who was in a trance and hugged her. Disappointment and disgust appeared on her face, but she had no strength to push Eric away. So she twisted her head in case he found her disgusted look and asked, “Why are you here” Eric half knelt in front of the wheelchair. He held her hands in his and replied in an emotional tone, “I heard the news of your accident, and I came here immediately. Where have you been injured Tell me.”
Selina withdrew her hands in a casual way. She adjusted her mood to meet his emotional eyes. She gave an aggrieved but happy face to him, “It never occurred to me that you would come for me.”
“The reason for me to be a celebrity is to give you a better life. If I can’t stay with you when you have an accident, what’s the point of my effort ” Eric replied affectionately.
He didn’t draft before telling a lie. Selina looked at him with a slight smile.
After the nurse helped her to lie on the bed and put her on intravenous drip, Eric asked attentively while peeling the apple, “You got injured suddenly. How’s the film shooting Will they replace you with someone else”
“I don’t know yet. I started the shooting a month ago. If I affect the progress seriously, they are likely to replace me.”
On hearing the word “replace”, Eric broke the apple peel, “Selina, if you indeed want to shoot this film, call my uncle. It’s a rare opportunity. You should seize it.”
“Your uncle”
Selina tightly held her hands in the quilt. Was he going to take advantage of her to scheme against Darren Auton
She didn’t dare to imagine when Eric started to set a trap to her.
The time when Darren made a proposal to her, or the time when she bumped into Darren’s room after being drugged, or maybe even earlier, the time when Eric himself made a proposal to her
Eric put down the apple and held her hands in his. He looked at her eagerly, “I really hate I’m not powerful enough to protect you, or you won’t…”
“What’s happened, Eric” She held his hands worriedly.
“Selina, I’ve found out the truth. Do you know why my uncle drugged you”
Selina pretended to be shocked while she was calm inside. When she calmed down and set her role as an observer, she found Eric was so poor at lying.
He said Darren drugged her because Darren quarreled with his girlfriend Sophia Taylor. Since she looked like Sophia, Darren took her as an object for his strong passions.
At that time, she didn’t know Darren and her reputation was totally ruined, so she had no strength for rational thought but hate Darren.
“Selina, I’m the only one who truly loves you. Believe me.” Eric’s eyes became red and he looked at her firmly.
“Eric, I believe you.”
She threw herself into Eric’s arms.
Hearing his hypocritical words, she suppressed herself from feeling sick.
When he was going to recall what happened during his undergraduate years, she interrupted him hurriedly, “Eric, I wanna take a picture with you. We even don’t have a photo of us two.”
She used to be naïve and trust Eric’s every word. He said their relation couldn’t be exposed in case she would be attacked by fans, so she hadn’t taken a photo with him.
Hearing her request, Eric was stunned for a moment, but then he agreed with a smile.
Selina made a pose. She leaned against Eric’s arms intimately, raised the phone and took a picture.
Eric was happy secretly as he thought Selina was easy to coax!
“Let’s take another two!” Selina purposely took photos from different angles to make them look intimidate. These photos would be very useful!
After a while, when Eric saw her edit the photos carefully, he sneered in the heart, “Women are all foolish.”
He rose and said leisurely, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Eric thought he succeeded. So he hummed, going to the bathroom with a good mood.
Seeing him leave, Selina shared a post on Moments while only Cecilia could see it.
Looking at Eric’s phone on the table, a scheming idea flashed across her mind.
Bang!
“Ah!”
Eric rushed out of the bathroom hurriedly and saw his phone falling onto the ground. The phone was covered with water and beside it were broken pieces of the glass.
Selina looked at him aggrievedly, “Eric, I… I wanted to catch the glass but I stroke your phone onto the ground.”
He took the phone but it couldn’t work at all.
He cursed Selina in heart, how silly the woman was!
However, he raised his eyes with a doting facial expression, “No worries. What matters is that you didn’t get injured.”
After saying some words, Eric left to have the phone fixed. Selina sat on the bed with a satisfied smile.
When he got the phone fixed, someone should be here.
The door was pushed open again.
“What else did you forget”
Hearing no reply, she looked back and noticed Darren staring at her silently with a hand in his pocket.
“Darren!”
She was too excited to jump out of the bed.
“Watch out!”
Darren hurried towards her, held her in arms and blamed, “You’re insane!”
“Aren’t I dizzy You’re here!”
She tightly held his neck. She really missed him, “Woo…”
Darren pursed his lips for a while and finally couldn’t resist his smile, “Sit up straight. Glass is everywhere.”
“No, unless you kiss me. You have no idea how I – -Umm!”
Darren pressed her onto the bed and kissed her peremptorily.
After the kiss finished, Selina’s eyes were sparkled with tears and she was out of breath.
Darren looked at her from the top.
After about a minute, abruptly he stood up.
“Darren!”
She immediately caught his hands.
“Aren’t you afraid your fiancé sees us together” he turned back, looking at her sarcastically.
Selina was stunned for a moment but then a sweet smile appeared on her face, “Be my fiancé. Then I won’t be afraid us to be seen by others.”
Darren suddenly turned back his head, holding her hands so tightly that he himself didn’t notice it.
She bore it without telling the pain. She looked at him cowardly.
“Selina, I don’t like the game.”
“It’s not a game.”
Unexpectedly Darren caught her phone and clicked the album. The first picture was the one she took with Eric just now, “What about this one”
“Selina, I’m back.”
Eric pushed the door and entered. The smile on his face froze, but expression in his eyes seemed to confirm something and he looked complacent.
She couldn’t offend Eric openly. She wanted to torture Eric and Cecilia, the shameless couple. Her plan just started.
“Answer me.” Darren suddenly questioned her loudly.
“I…”
Her eyes became red but she couldn’t explain. She couldn’t explain why she suddenly hated Eric so much and she didn’t dare to say she was reborn.
She caused him a sticky end. How did she dare to tell him He would be too hateful to kill her.
“I know.”
Darren smiled coldly, throwing her hands away and going outside.
“Uncle.” Eric greeted him respectfully.
While passing Eric, Darren’s fingers crackled.
When Darren’s figure disappeared thoroughly, Selina burst into crying.
“Selina, has my uncle bullied you”
She suddenly used all her strength to push away Eric. She stared at Eric. She wanted to kill him!
She was eager to kill the man in front of her!
With nails nibbling into the flesh, she silently closed her eyes.
Eric froze. He must be wrong just now. Why did he see hatred from this stupid woman’s eyes The hatred was so strong that made him shiver.
“I’m sorry, Eric. Just now Darren came for me and I couldn’t control myself.” She seized the quilt to say the word against her will.
“Selina, don’t do this again. We’re not powerful enough now, so you can’t refuse Darren. Instead, you need to flatter him, understand”
She raised her head slowly, “Flatter him”
