My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 181 Complete Break

Ryan couldn’t understand what was going on, but when he glanced at Isabella and saw Braxton, who hadn’t left all

night, he couldn’t help but smile.

“Mom, you should go back to sleep.”

Ashley, being the astute woman that she was, understood what was going on and suddenly acted as though she

was tired.

“I’m tired from being with you bunch the whole night. I’m too old to compete with you young people. I’ll go rest in

my room first.”

In the room, only Melissa was eagerly waiting for an answer.

Isabella forced a bitter smile and replied after a moment, “We’ve broken up. I’ve had so many boyfriends who have

come and gone!”

Melissa blinked. “Did you love them?”

Isabella looked at Braxton not far away, her gaze straightforward and fiery.

“There is one that I did.”

Melissa became excited. “Do you still love him now?”

Isabella clenched her hand tightly and stared at the man who was avoiding her gaze. She gritted her teeth. “Yes, I

do!”

She fell deeper into despair each time she admitted it.

By confessing like this, she was telling Braxton about what lay deep within her heart.

And yet, all she got in return was silence and avoidance.

Then again, if she could give up once and for all, she wouldn’t have to let her heart die little by little like this.

Ryan realized that something was wrong and laughed. “Melissa, stop asking. You can only ask one question. How

many have you asked already?”

Melissa looked curious. “Then why isn’t Isabella with him?”

Braxton then stood up and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Isabella bit her lip, and Matthew put away the cards on the table.

“It’s late; we should go back. Isabella, let me take you home

“I’m not going back!” Isabella roared.

Braxton, who was going upstairs, paused with his fists clenched by his sides.

Melissa was confused and approached Ryan in panic. “Ryan, what’s wrong with Isabella? Did she drink too

much?”

“I’ll have the servant make some soup to sober her up. Ryan worriedly uttered while getting up.

He then carried his troublesome sister. “I’ll take Mel back to her room to rest.”

With that, only Braxton and Isabella, along with Freya and Matthew were left in the living room.

Isabella bit her teeth and didn’t even have the courage to ask Braxton again.

Instead, she looked at Matthew beside her and whispered through gritted teeth, “Are you going to stay quiet like

this?”

The innocent man’s eyes widened at that.

Isabella’s voice became tearful. “How long are you going to pretend to be ignorant? Don’t you remember what you

said when you pursued me before? Just why did you-

“How did things become like this?

“Why did you get together with me if you don’t love me?

“And we have broken up, so why did you want to do that when I went to the hospital?

“People think that I can’t let you go, but it’s you who wouldn’t let me go. Every time I think the pain in my heart has

subsided, you deliberately provoke me! What right do you have to control me? What right do you have to take me

home and kiss me when you brought me back from Vroria to Caltun?! Who do you think you are!”

Matthew knew he had become a messenger, and he could only stand there obediently and endure the scolding.

Freya’s heart was broken as she listened to the words from nearby.

She was devastated for both Isabella and Braxton.

Braxton might say that all of this was for Isabella’s future, but the pain Isabella felt now was undeniably real.

Even though the two of them loved each other, they had no choice but to let each other down.

“I have my pride.” Isabella cried out, “Since you don’t love me, why do you keep having sex with me and then act

so indifferent afterward? What do you take me for?”

Freya clenched her fists when she heard that and took two steps forward. “Izzy!”

“Freya Kaufmann!” Braxton’s voice sounded angry.

Freya’s jaw clenched. Braxton rarely called her by her full name.

She wanted to disregard everything and tell Isabella the truth. Braxton’s decision was just as painful for him as it

was for Isabella.

Since both of them were suffering, why let the possibility of a future child hinder their present?

Startled by Braxton’s outburst, Isabells looked up at him from the spiral staircase. With tears glistening on her face,

she saw Braxton avoid her gaze.

She exclaimed, “Alright, then!”

“From now on, I, Isabella, have nothing to do with you, Braxton. I am the daughter of the Parker family! I hope you

never appear before me again in this lifetime! With those words, Isabella turned around and stormed off.

Freya’s hands and feet felt cold, and her eyes teared up.

Seeing this, Matthew gave her a few pats to comfort her. “Frey, are you okay?”

“Don’t mind me.” Freya’s voice was hoarse. “Go after Isabella and make sure she gets home safely.”

Matthew quickly went after Isabella then.

In the living room, only Braxton was on the spiral staircase, and Freya remained in the room.

Freya turned to her brother with tears streaming down her face. “Brax, why didn’t you tell her? You both are

suffering, so why not tell her?”

Braxton slowly crouched down and sat on the steps.

Placing his hand over his chest, he looked down without saying a word.

Freya hurriedly went up to him, trying to pull him up. “Brax…”

Only then did she notice Braxton’s hand was tightly clenched like a claw, and it was so deeply buried in his left chest

that his knuckles turned white,

His complexion was extremely pale.

“Frey, let me be alone.”

His voice sounded strained as if it was being squeezed through his teeth.

Freya panicked and was afraid, but Braxton’s appearance was too alarming, and she knew she shouldn’t be with

him right now.

She stood up and went upstairs.

At the corner of the staircase on the upper level, she sat down quietly and watched Braxton on the spiral staircase.

The night seemed longer than ever before it was as if the day would never break

Unlike Braxton’s fingers which had lost all feelings, he felt like his heart had been torn open, leaving a gaping,

bloody hole. It felt empty and painful as it pulsated incessantly

As the sky began to brighten with a pale light, he finally stood up, albeit swaying a bit.

He suddenly heard a faint noise from upstairs. Looking up, he saw Freya standing on the upper level. looking at him

with an anxious gaze. Her swollen, bloodshot eyes were filled with worry

“Go ahead and rest. Braxton smiled

Freya’s heart ached as she bit her lower lip, turned around, and returned to her room.

What gives?

Freya was filled with hatred after she went back to her room.

Thinking about the person who hurt Braxton, she regretted not being there with him at that time.

She had seen her brother’s medical records; although certain aspects of his life remained unaffected, the injury in

that certain area had indeed resulted in his inability to reproduce ever again.

Not even artificial methods could help with the situation, given the current technology.

But looking at the medical records, there might have been hope if she had performed that operation when the

accident happened.

But where was I at the time?

Freya covered her face. I was waiting for Radley to come home! I was busy making his perfume and cooking soup

for him!

The tears that flowed through her fingers soaked her palms.

Freya bit her lip. One was her most beloved brother, and the other was her best friend.

She couldn’t just watch the two who truly loved each other not being together.
