Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 654:

“Leave it in your car. Don’t lock it. Someone will pick it up.”

Bobby inhaled sharply.

“Can I ask a question?”

“Every second you waste is a second closer to Fannie’s end,” the caller snapped.

Bobby’s voice grew cold as he pressed,

“Who sent you?”

The line fell silent.

Unfazed, Bobby probed further.

“You orchestrated the scandal earlier, didn’t you? What do you want from Fannie?”

Impatience crept into the caller’s voice.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about! This isn’t a negotiation. Pay up, or I swear, she’ll lose a finger right now!”

Bobby knew he couldn’t risk antagonizing the caller. As they spoke, he carefully opened his car door.

“I’m heading up now.”

The caller’s warning was sharp and clear.

“I’m watching you closely! Any tricks, and Fannie pays the price!”

Bobby proceeded with utmost caution, his mind racing with thoughts of involving the police. As he reached the door of the presidential suite, he found a hotel staff member knocking persistently.

“Is everything alright?” the staff member asked, his voice laced with concern.

Bobby approached quickly, his tone urgent.

“What’s happening?”

“There have been loud noises inside, but no response, no matter how much I knock.”

Bobby felt a growing sense of unease as he approached the guest inside. He kicked the door open and entered the dimly lit room. Despite the darkness, he could make out the figure of a woman squirming on the carpet, clearly in distress. He held up a hand, signaling the hotel staff member at the doorway to stay back.

His eyes quickly fixed on a critical detail: Fannie was barely clothed. Once the staff member stepped away, Bobby moved swiftly, covering her with a bath towel.

Tears streamed down Fannie’s face, and she was too overwhelmed to speak, her emotions pouring out through soft sobs. Her body burned with fever, the heat radiating off her.

“It’s going to be okay,” Bobby murmured, his hand soothingly brushing along her back. Fannie gasped for air, her grip tightening around his shirt, her tear-filled eyes locking with his.

As he lifted her, his movement accidentally brushed against a floor lamp, flooding the room with light. The sudden illumination revealed Fannie’s flushed face, her expression one of complete confusion.

“Fannie?” Bobby gasped, his voice trembling with disbelief. Without warning, Fannie wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself up to kiss him firmly on the lips.

“Help me,” she whispered, her voice raspy and weak.
