My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 284

Chapter 284: You Can’t Escape From Me!
Seeing her eyes, which seemed to challenge him, was enough to make Lucas even more annoyed with this useless woman.

Gritting his teeth silently, he said, “I will not stop you, Natalie Wright. You can leave now if you want!”

Lucas knew this stupid Natalie would not dare leave the house without anything. She said those words—to leave the house—only to make him angry because they fought last night.

A smirk slowly appears on his lips. He didn’t bother to see her pitiful expression anymore.

He strode towards the glass window, his back to her, trying to enjoy the scenery outside while holding back a laugh at her foolishness.

‘Oh, Natalie Wright… a woman like you would never leave me. I know you enjoy being a madam and are too timid to return to being a poor woman again.’ Lucas laughed inwardly, feeling satisfied that he had taught her a lesson.

Later,

After a few minutes, Lucas stood near the window but didn’t hear anything from her, which confused him.

Slowly, a faint line appeared on Lucas’ forehead.

‘This is new! Why is she keeping silent?’ Lucas muttered under his breath.

Usually, Natalie would come to ask for forgiveness after they fought or he scolded her. But now? Why was she silent? Was she really mad this time?

“Alright, stop your tantrum, Natalie. Come here and beg for my forgiveness. I will forget everything you said about the divorce.”

Lucas let out a deep sigh, exhausted from dealing with her sulking. Hearing no movement from behind, he continued, “If you demand an apology from me, fine!”

Silence!

He rubbed his eyebrow, saying, “I apologize for what I did last night. I didn’t intend to harm you, Natalie, but you made me angry when I wasn’t fully sober… Sorry, I will not do that again in the future!”

Still, there was no answer from her, causing Lucas to regret apologizing to this ignorant woman.

Annoyed, he turned to look at her. However, he was shocked to see no one there, only a red suitcase. Where did she go? Did she run to the bedroom?

“You’re being brave, Natalie. Did you leave your things for me to take to our room?” Lucas walked towards the suitcase, smiling, amused by her naivety.

Asking for a divorce? How stupid she is.

He would never divorce her—never! Nathalie was a stupid woman that he could handle easily. Besides, it would have been a disaster if his father had known they were divorced.

A cold smile slowly appeared on his lips as he walked over to Natalie’s suitcase. Before he could take the suitcase, his hand stopped when he saw several credit cards and bank cards on top of it.

“Why did she leave these cards here?”

Lucas instantly felt his throat dry when he saw gold accessories and their wedding ring. He also noticed piles of money there.

“What the hell! She left? Really!? No!! Impossible. The damn woman will not dare…” He said, rushing to the bedroom to check.

He still thought Natalie had run to their bedroom or bathroom to cry, as she usually did.

However, his face turned red when he saw the empty bedroom and bathroom. He could feel all the blood rushing to his face, seething with anger.

Lucas took out his cell phone and called the house guard at the gate.

“Did you see my wife?” he asked calmly, but his gaze now radiated anger. He felt utterly frustrated with his stupid wife. How dare she run away? Did she really think she could escape from him?

The guard was surprised to hear his master’s question.

“Ye-Yes, sir, I saw her. But just now, Madam rode a cab—”

“What!! She rode a cab?” Lucas snapped as he left his room and ran to the first floor.

“Yes, sir. Earlier, when I asked her if she needed me to call her driver and prepare her car, Madam didn’t say a word to me.”

“I want you to search that cab and stop that cab for me! NOW!” Lucas couldn’t hold his calm anymore. His voice raised, shocking the guard.

The guard panicked, hearing his master angry. Stuttering, he replied, “I’m sorry, sir, but the cab is already speeding, and I can’t see it anymore…”

“Did you remember the car’s plate number?”

“I’m sorry, sir… But…but…. I didn’t remember the cab’s plate number…”

The guard started to get confused. Why was their Madam rushing out of the house and getting a cab? Since he started working there, this was the first time he had seen Madam ride a cab. She usually left the house using the car, and a chauffeur would drive her.

‘Did they fight? Again?’ The guard was even more worried. Their master would vent his frustration on them.

Lucas’s steps stopped right before he left the main door. He felt furious while cursing his damn stupid wife inwardly.

After a few more seconds, Lucas realized she didn’t leave her phone behind.

“Stupid woman!! You left without anything but still brought your phone?” Lucas mumbled.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he tried to find her phone number. However, before he could dial her number, two text messages appeared.

[Natalie] Lucas, please sign and submit the divorce papers to the court. I want nothing from you but a divorce! And after that, I want nothing to do with you. You can go to hell for all I care.

[Natalie] By the way, as for the clothes I wear, don’t worry; you will have them back. I will send them to you by courier today.

“Fuck you, woman! Fuck you! You think you’re so smart, huh?! Alright! Alright! You return all you wear, but how about the phone? Hah! You can’t keep it! That’s my phone, you know. I bought it with my money!”

Lucas faintly smiled, but his smile faded when another text came in.

[Natalie] Ah, I forgot to inform you. You can’t ask back for the phone I use now, Lucas. Maybe you forgot, but this phone is not yours. It is Emma’s birthday present for me.

Lucas, “…”

Instantly, he felt like smashing his phone on the floor!
