The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

Chapter 48: Airina’s Reimbursement “Ma, here’s my little gift for you,” Airina handed over a customized necklace for her and her husband, “Is it pretty?”

Wendy grinned at her, nodding her head, “You,” she pointed at her, “You don’t need to do these things anymore. Besides, it had been years. We didn’t have that much of memories together so… accepting these feels like a burden.”

Airina smiled at her as an assurance and patted her shoulders.

“It’s my fault. I could have visited you, but I didn’t…”

“Rina,” Wendy seriously looked at her, “I feel grateful and loved by your gestures, but you don’t need to act sweet to me. If you blame me, do so. Otherwise, if I don’t know what you’re thinking, how can I peacefully live?”

Airina held her hand, glancing at Felix, who nodded his head and walked away. Being left together, she led her mother to the sofa and affectionately held her hand.

“Ma, it’s in the past now. Didn’t you help me obtain this success I have right now? Other than that, you’ve also visited me a lot of times while I was in college and after marriage, it was just that I couldn’t face you.”

“Dear, don’t make me emotional. Aiya… You, you’ve become naughty you’re making me cry.”

Airina laughed, handing tissues over hand, and happily watching her mother wipe her tears. In the meantime, Felix appeared giving them sliced apple and simple refreshments. She thanked Felix through her eyes and a smile to which he appreciated and accepted.

“Are you okay?” Felix softly asked, gently touching her arms.

Airina shook her head, “I feel like a third wheel all of a sudden.”

Felix giggled, patting Wendy. “You’ll get used to it. Oh, by the way, I heard from Matthew that someone stole your paintings. Is the issue cleared?”

She thought for a while, “Yes, I’ve figured who the mastermind was and had warned her afterward.”

Wendy frowned while gazing at her, “However, as far as I know your paintings are exclusively only for personal hobby so if someone steals or sell it without your prior authority, it only means…”

“The ones in her father’s house are the culprit.” Felix continued Wendy’s words.

Wendy sighed in disbelief. She had thought Linda was snake enough to seduce her es-husband, but she even had the nerve to sell her daughter’s paintings just for money. She huffed, sneering in disgust.

“That woman is truly vicious. All right, let me handle her real quick so I can…”

“Ma, I dealt with her already,” Airina guaranteed with a firm expression, “I thought the same things as you. But I couldn’t afford myself to harm her yet because she took care of me when I was younger. She did bad deeds, but we need to be patient, maybe she was driven due to some circumstances.”

Wendy loudly sighed, hitting her thigs in anger.

“How can you stay nonchalant? Linda sold your paintings, but you didn’t even hold her accountable. Are you…?”

“Don’t worry, Ma. I will just think of it as an exchange of her raising me up in your stead. The next time she harms me, I will deal with her according to the laws. All right?”

Wendy breathed out. “All right, I won’t be fussy anymore. Just if you need anything, come to me.”

“All right, wait for me demanding requests!”

Felix replied, “We’ll help, so don’t hold back if you need anything.”

Airina agreed with a hum.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Hm? The one who sold your paintings were Linda, for real?”

Matthew asked while scrolling through his ipad. He seemed to be doing something important but can’t miss out the chance to hear the teas from Airina.

Airina clicked her tongue, nodding her head. She lied her body on the cozy sofa in Matthew’s bed and yawned.

“I know, right. Before discovering who it was, I had assumed it was her but the moment I verified it was her, I… got sentimental.”

Matthew looked over her lying body on the sofa. He set his ipad on the glass desk and interlinked his finger together.

“Speak, how about your dad? Is he all right?”

Airina drowsily blinked her eyes, “Due to his old age, his health has changed so I visit him occasionally.”

“I see,” he rose from the sofa he was sitting on, “And, don’t sleep in my office. This is my personal space…”

Airina closed her eyes, already had the motive to sleep, “Give this hardworking employee a slack, really.”

Matthew sighed and shook his head simultaneously before opening the cabinet and throwing blanket over her stomach.

“At least cover yourself.”

She glanced at him briefly, “You should have done this to Elisa, tch.”

Matthew formed a thin line on his lips, “Do you still want to sleep or not?”

Airina smirked and tossed around without answering him.
