How My Ex Became My Next

“What are you staring at?”

Jackson suddenly interrupted Gilda’s contemplation, but she kept staring at the ornaments not far away.

She pointed to the position of the ornaments and asked, “Jackson, why do you have a wooden horse ceramic ornament here?”

Jackson followed her gaze and asked with a smile, “Why? Do you have one?”

Gilda replied softly, “Yours is exactly the same as mine. But it’s a pity that mine has been broken long ago…”

Gilda withdrew her gaze and said melancholy..

A trace of strangeness flashed in Jackson’s eyes, but he covered it up well.

“It seems to be a pity.”

Then he handed her the new pajamas and bath towel in his hands, “Have an early rest!”

Gilda took it.

“Got it, Jackson! Get some rest, too! Good night!”

Jackson didn’t stop and left the bedroom. Gilda looked at the pajamas and bath towel in her hand with a smile.

At the same time.

the Harrington family.

It was almost early morning when Jensen returned home after finishing hist business engagement. He sat in the back seat with a smell of alcohol. The driver parked the car in the garage and whispered, “Mr. Harrington, we’re home.”

Jensen opened his eyes in a daze and looked out of the window at the familiar building. Then he reached out to pull his tie and opened the door by the way.

“Okay, you should go back early.”

Jensen got out of the car. The big yard was very quiet. Looking up at the villa in front of him. Jensen couldn’t help but be absent–minded.

But in half a year, the big villa became particularly deserted. Gilda had never set foot here again after divorcing him.

He also drove Sherry and Carol away. They were still staying in Marianta…

Now there were only him and Marilyn in the big house.

Jensen walked towards the gate, and a maid greeted him. “Mr. Harrington, you’re back.”

Then the servant took his coat and put it in the hallway. “Mrs. Green has been talking about you all night, so I hope you can come back early to have dinner with her.”

Jensen paused and asked, “Is grandma asleep?”

“Mrs. Green has already fallen asleep.”

The servant seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Jensen asked, “Is there anything else?”

Seeing this, the servant said, “Sir, there is something I have to tell you. Mrs. Green has been in a bad mood and in poor health these days, but she didn’t want to disturb you because you were busy with work… You’d better spend more time with her if you have time!”

The servant’s words made Jensen’s eyes gloomy. “I see, I’ll go and check on grandma…”

Jensen followed the spiral staircase upstairs.

He didn’t stop until he reached the easternmost bedroom. He hesitated for a while before tiptoeing open the door.

Marilyn was sleeping unsteadily, and she coughed from time to time. Jensen

hurried forward and tucked her in.

“Jensen, you’re back…”

Marilyn suddenly made a sound, and Jensen’s hand froze. Then the light in the bedroom was turned on, and Marilyn slowly sat up.

“Grandma, I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

Marilyn shook her head slightly and said, “It doesn’t matter. I have been sleeping lightly these days. Did you come back so late today to socialize?”

“Kid, you’re busy with work all day. You should take good care of yourself…”
