After I Learned I Was Going to Be His Ex-Wife Chapter 03
After that, I took every chance to coax Ethan into trying new things.
Besides the costumes we used for roleplay in the bedroom, I used his money to buy a bunch of cozy
loungewear.
Sometimes, on weekends, he’d cook in them.
He’d stand in the kitchen, one hand in his pocket, the other flipping a steak. He looked like he

If this were before, I would’ve whined. Hung onto him until he kissed me goodbye. And demanded that he come home in costume to make it up to me.
But now, I had to learn to sleep alone.
i forced an understanding smile. “Okay, go. Drive safe.”
Ethan paused.
He turned back to look at me, his dark eyes searching. “Emily, are you… in a bad mood today?”
I shook my head. “No, I feel great.”
He pressed his lips together, unreadable.
He looked at me one more time, then left.
