EX-WIFE REGRET, NO TURNING BACK!

COLD STEPS

Chapter 3:

Everyone in the party was stunned and confused at his words, they looked around and wondered who he was, and how come he was so bold.

A woman who stood at the side walked out and looked Kelvin all over, “Who are you, sir? Did you in any way lose your way?”

“He might be a worker or maybe a waiter from the way he is dressed.” Another woman interrupted and now everyone’s eyes were on him as they waited for his response.

Kelvin smirked calmly as he felt the curiosity of the crowd. He raised the cup in his hand and drown it down his throat, his movement calm and elegant, then he shifted his gaze to Diana whose body had tensed up when she saw him look at her.

Kevin gave a mocking smile and said, “You can ask your boss.”

The mumbles of the crowd pierced through Diana’s ears and her face turned deathly pale, she looked around uncomfortably before she rushed forwards towards Kelvin.

“What you saw was all a misunderstanding, Kelvin, you don't need to think too much as it's really nothing,” Diane explained quietly after she got closer to him.

Without even waiting for him to respond, she got closer to him and with a voice only they could hear, she continued nervously, “And what are you doing here? How do you know—” She paused, then pinched her fingers as her face turned paler, “Why didn't you call me before you arrived? Why did you come without notifying me?!” She asked after she regained her composure.

Anyways, she hadn't done anything wrong.

Kelvin looked at Diana's calm face and couldn't stop the sneer that appeared in his eyes, “If I told you in advance, how could I have witnessed such a spectacular scene?” He spat out coldly which stunned Diana.

She was surprised at his cold tone, then suddenly felt uncomfortable with his mocking tone.

She believed she hadn't done anything wrong and had even explained to him that, besides, it was Kelvin’s fault for coming without informing her.

“Why are you being petty? I already told you it wasn't International, this is all a misunderstanding, so why wouldn't you understand?” She felt irritated.

Kelvin couldn't believe his ears, he looked at the woman he called his wife and felt like he couldn't understand her anymore.

How had things become like this? Everything was okay before the birth of their daughter, and they had both been loving, so why did everything change?

“You think I'm petty? I walked into this place and saw him kiss you, and all you did was accept it without pushing him away like you were used to all this but you think I'm petty?” He asked with his finger pointed at himself.

Diana furrowed her brows and felt so uncomfortable especially when everyone’s eyes were on them, she parted her lips, “You—”

“Is everything okay, Diane? Everyone is watching.”

Both Kelvin and Diane turned to Harry who had come over at some point and had interrupted Diana.

Diana swallowed her words and pursed her lips showing her dissatisfaction.

Harry suddenly came closer and flashed an embarrassed smile at Kelvin, “I didn't know this would cause trouble and I'm sorry for causing a misunderstanding between you both. I had only done this because I was excited and didn't know how to show it but it seems this made you…Angry.” He said, then turned to Diana with a soft look on his face, then shifted his gaze back to Kelvin, “Please, don't argue with Diana as I was the one who had forced her. Don't blame her for my mistakes, and if there is anyone who should be punished, it should be me!” He said and looked at Kelvin resolutely like he was really ready to take any punishment Kelvin dished out to him.

Diana felt touched as she saw the boldness in Harry when he supported her and defended her, she felt gratified but when she looked at Kelvin, her face turned pale with anger as she looked at the scorn and mocking smile on his face as he watched both she and Harry.

Her fingers clenched, “Why do you have that look on your face? What else do you want from us? Harry had come to apologise and even admitted his fault, he said he was willing to accept any punishment even if he hadn't done anything to warrant that.” Her voice grew at the end of her words and after she noticed, she immediately looked around her and seeing the curious gazes on her, her body flushed with embarrassment.

She shifted her gaze back to Kelvin and asked in a low tone, “Are you bent on embarrassing me at the most important moment of my company? Why are you so selfish and petty?” She admonished him.

Now, Kelvin was left speechless. He felt like he was going insane, he looked at Diana and then shifted his gaze to Harry whose head was bowed nervously and guiltily.

Looking at them, he couldn't help but chuckle coldly, he felt utterly disappointed in Diana. He said coldly, “So I’m supposed to stand aside while my wife kisses another man, and do nothing?”

Loud gasps could be heard in the hall. Everyone was shocked after they heard Kelvin call Diana his wife.

They never knew Diana was married and had always thought she was dating Harry as both were inseparable at work. Everyone’s eyes burned through their bodies and they began whispering to each other, no one could believe that the couple they had thought were together because of their stickiness turned out to be wrong.

“So why did they kiss when we clapped and cheered for them? A simple rejection would do, besides, they had never denied being a couple when we talked about it in the office.”

“Oh my goodness! Does that mean Diana's husband had seen them kiss?”

The last question lets everyone realise the situation.

Diane who could feel the piercing gazes of the crowd and could also hear the whispers turned pale. Her breathing turned shaky and her eyes became shifty.

She hadn't expected that Kelvin would announce this and it had caught her off guard. Her fists were secretly clenched and she walked closer to Kelvin, and with a voice only they could hear. She asked in an almost pleading tone, “Can we talk about this at home? This… is an important moment of my life and I really want it to be perfect. Can't you even do this for me?”

Kelvin stared at her and suddenly felt tired. An important moment in her life but he as her husband could never be involved.

He was about to say something when they suddenly heard murmurs of someone asking what was wrong with Harry.

Diana immediately turned around and was shocked to see Harry shaking and trembling all over. He couldn't even move or say anything and all he could do was move his eyes which he looked at Diane with.

Diana who saw his situation snapped out of her daze and rushed to his side to hold him, “Oh my goodness! Harry, you—just hold on!” She said anxiously then turned to Kelvin.

“Are you satisfied now? Your constant pressure has caused him to have his anxiety attack, so, are you satisfied? Is this the result you want?” She asked Kelvin with gritted teeth.

Kelvin looked at Diana as she accused him, then he shifted his gaze to Harry whom she said was having an attack and couldn't help but clench his fist tight.

Diana ignored him coldly, then held Harry and walked him out, but when they got to Kelvin's side, she pushed him away, “Get out, I need to take Harry to the hospital!”
