Come back to Me, My Ex-Wife novel Chapter 3

Upon hearing that, Golden finally looked at her straightly with his sharp and cold eyes. Then he emphasized each single word with hostility, "Doctor Bryne, you really have a glib tongue!"

Margery smiled and then shook her head, "Mr. Barrett, are you flattering me?"

Pansy, who stood beside him, stared at Margery with suspicion. Then she turned to look at Golden, whose face darkened. She noticed that there was something wrong between them. But she couldn't tell exactly.

Golden frowned and then shifted his sharp gaze off Margery's face. Then he looked at Mr. Chang, who seemed to be quite confused about what was going on. Then he sneered, "I don't deserve to talk to such a lady with glib tongue. Mr. Chang, you may continue now."

Then he lowered his head and said to Pansy gently, "It's late now. I will have my driver send you home."

Margery had never seen him being so gentle and tender while he was talking to Pansy.

Margery blinked her eyes. Then she saw Golden step into the elevator while hugging Pansy in his arms without turning his back. She couldn't help smiling with self-mockery.

Suddenly, she collected herself and noticed that she was here for the contract. She calmed down herself and then walked to the front of that oily old man.

She took out a contract from her bag and then handed it to him with a pen, "Mr. Chang, please sign the contract. I really need the medicine."

"Hold on! Are you Mrs. Barrett? I heard that actually Mr. Barrett had already got married. And I also know that he owns a medical company and he has a lot of stock of the medicine you need. Why don't you ask him for the medicine but you come to me instead? Mrs. Barrett, if you are trying to play some tricks on your husband, please don't get me involved! And don't ever come to me again! Please!"

Mr. Chang couldn't help trembling with fear when he thought of the gossips that Golden was actually a cold-blooded man who was cruel to his enemy.

Though he was not sure if Margery was the wife of Golden, he couldn't afford to take the risk.

No matter how lustful he was, he could never afford to pester Mrs. Barrett.

At this moment, he didn't deem Margery as a ravishing sweet beauty anymore. Instead, he now viewed her like a monster. He couldn't help stepping backwards with his trembling legs. Then he turned around and ran away. Even Margery herself didn't expect that a fat guy like him could run so fast.

When seeing that, Margery sighed.

She was aware that Golden would never offer her the medicine as he hated her so much.

She had been trying so hard for the whole night and she had been suffering from retch for hours! She almost damaged her own body. But she still failed to get the contract signed. Every effort she made was in vain.

Whatever, Margery decided to go back home first.

She put the contract into her handbag. While she was walking down the long corridor of the bar, someone suddenly touched her shoulder.

Margery turned around with surprise.

An incredibly charming face of a man suddenly caught her eyes, where there also showed a trace of worry. But Margery chose to ignore it.

"Melvin Collins?" she frowned. Suddenly, she took steps back to keep a distance from him as if she seemed to think of something weird.

When seeing her move, Melvin felt his heart aching.

The cold and fake marriage between Margery and Golden really brought a great impact on her.

Though she didn't fall in love with Melvin before, she still viewed him just like her loving brother at that time. She always loved to talk to him and shared anything she experienced. But now, she tried her best to avoid seeing him just as if she were bumping into a bag of garbage. She tried all means to keep away from him every time she saw him.

When seeing her wrinkled jacket and her pale face, Melvin seemed to be outrageous as the vein on his forehead started to twitch fiercely.

He raised his head and was about to touch her pale face, which stung his heart. Suddenly, he saw her stepping back again, which rendered him quite frustrated. So he put down his hand and clenched his fists while his arms were hanging loosely beside his thighs. He asked worriedly, "What happened to you? I just saw Golden walking out of the bar with a coquettish movie star in his arms. What did he do to you? You are Golden's wife! Tell me, did he bully you again?"

"It's none of your business."

She was still wearing a poker face just like Golden, and it looked even colder than his, which rendered Melvin quite mad. He frowned angrily and tried to touch her face again, "I know it's none of my business if you were living with him happily. But if not, I have to defend you!"
