Madam, Your Ex-Husband Is On Call
Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Unexpected Encounter

Anastasia was making a call as she walked upstairs, her voice full of laughter and cheerfulness. "Get me some late-night snacks, Derek..." The driver squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and sent a message to Beatrice.

Soon, he received a sum of money and Beatrice's gratitude.

Then, the driver left the neighbourhood swiftly.

In Tobias' apartment, a maid was preparing soup for Christian. Christian sat blankly on the chair, his expression cold and melancholic.

Meanwhile, Beatrice was calling him non-stop.

He remained indifferent, as if he hadn't noticed it at all.

Soon.

Tobias came back after washing his face and looked at Christian's phone, chuckling lightly.

"This big trouble isn't resolved yet, Chris. Should I take this call for you?"

Christian seemed indifferent, his gaze somehow disapproval.

However, Tobias swiped the screen to answer the call directly.

"Christian, what should I do? Jake has a fever, and I'm so scared. Can you come over...?"

Beatrice's overly soft voice came from the other end, making Tobias frown speechlessly.

What a pretentious voice!

Tobias cleared his throat hard.

"Chris is not a doctor. If Jake has a fever, take him to the hospital. Are you waiting for his situation to worsen?"

Beatrice's voice faltered, a chill creeping in.

"Who are you? Where's Christian?"

"He asked me to tell you, if the kid is sick, go to the hospital. He's not a doctor, so why are you looking for him? Are you even the kid's mother? You're in the mood to pretend to be pitiful, so why can't you just spare some time to call an ambulance?"

Tobias's words left Beatrice very embarrassed.

"What's it to you? Give the phone back to Christian. Jake is his child, so of course he should take care of him!"

Tobias scoffed, "You didn't use this excuse to deceive Anastasia, did you?"

Beatrice fell silent instantly.

Tobias clicked his tongue. "I knew it."

He glanced at Christian, who remained aloof, and spoke brusquely into the phone, "He doesn't like you, and you'd better keep that in mind!"

Tobias hung up before Beatrice could lose her temper, and then he switched off the phone.

Christian's gaze flickered slightly, and he said coldly, "I'll get rid of her."

Tobias paused, knowing that getting rid of Beatrice wouldn't solve the problem.

He still doubted this idea, but he managed a smile.

"The guest room is ready. Go get some rest, Chris!"

Christian had no interest in sleeping in an unfamiliar place. He was particularly attached to the feeling of being in his matrimonial home.

Therefore, he forced himself to become sober for a while before preparing to leave.

Tobias couldn't stop him, so he let the security guard get a taxi for Christian.

Christian stepped into the elevator.

After it descended, the doors opened.

Then, he saw Anastasia stepping out of another elevator, carrying a late-night snack.

Anastasia was startled when she saw him.

Christian immediately walked out and grabbed her arm, his gaze gloomy. "So, you're living here?"

He hadn't found out where she lived, not even once!

Anastasia shook off his hand. "What does it have to do with you? You crazy drunkard!"

Anastasia swiftly opened her door and was about to enter, but Christian tried hard to squeeze in like a rogue.

Anastasia put down the late-night snacks that Derek had delivered and couldn't help but cross her arms as she looked at Christian.

"Christian, should I ask security to escort you out?"

Her tone was cold, with no room for compromise.

She didn't like how he kept showing up in her life after the divorce.

It was a constant reminder of her unbearable past, all tied to him.

So, whether it was Tobias's call or seeing Christian in person now, it made Anastasia feel like her boundaries were being violated.

Christian stood there, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his lips. His gaze was deep and locked onto her for a long moment before he said, "It's not like that. I've had too much to drink, and my stomach isn't feeling well. Do you have any food? I'll have some and then leave."
