Chapter 7 The bar quickly came to life , thanks to my friends connections , and soon , a good number of people had gathered .
I slipped back into my old routine mixing drinks .
To my surprise , many people recognized me and mentioned how theyd been craving the drinks I used to make for a long time .
In that moment , I truly regretted giving up a career I had worked so hard for , all for the sake of one person .
The bar had hired several staff members , one of whom , Adrian , was particularly amusing .
1/9 Chapter 7 f f f + 5 Points He always seemed shy around me , yet with the others , he was completely different .
I couldnt resist the temptation to tease him , but I never expected him to be so easily flustered .
He dodged me for days .
Then , one evening , an uninvited guest showed up .
I was mixing a drink when someone sat down at the bar .
As I was about to greet them , a voice of complaint cut through the air .
Whats this place some kind of dive ? It was Jarvis voice .
Thankfully , he wasnt shouting , or he might have been thrown out .

When he saw me glance up , he immediately .
put on a sincere expression .
Ellie , Im sorry 2/9 Chapter 7 + 5 Points for my friends joke .
They wont disrespect you like that again .
How about we remarry ? I couldnt help but sneer , then asked , You really think we got divorced over a few stupid jokes from your friends ? He didnt answer , but his face seemed to say .
Isnt that why ? I hardened my expression , pointed to the door , and spat out a single word : Leave .
He opened his mouth to speak , but I cut him off , louder this time .
Get out ! Just then , Adrian stepped forward , positioning himself in front of me without asking for any explanation .
He coldly addressed Jarvis , If you dont leave now , 3/9 Chapter 7 + 5 Points well have to call security .
Adrians tall frame blocked my view , so I couldnt see Jarvis expression , but I could hear his angry shouting .
I knew it ! Youre just a leopard that cant change its spots ! This is who you really are , isnt it ? It didnt take you long to jump at the chance to find someone new , did it ?! My true nature ? I used to pride myself on being a free spirit no relationships , no marriage but I liked to tease people , though I always kept it respectful .
If I was at fault , I had no defense , but hearing someone I once loved speak of me like that made me feel disgusted to the core .
The first time I met Jarvis was in a bar .
He didnt fit in at all he was nothing like the 4/9 Chapter 7 + 5 Points usual crowd .
I was behind the bar , mixing drinks , and the moment I laid eyes on him , my heart stirred for the first time .
I knew right then that I had fallen for him at first sight .
Without hesitation , I asked for his contact information and began pursuing him .
Not long after , we were together .
Then , he asked me to quit my job .
Reluctantly , I listened and left .
I had some regrets back then , but once he proposed , all those doubts disappeared .
I believed everything was worth it .
Now , I deeply regretted asking for his contact that day .
Maybe I shouldnt have 5/9 Chapter 7 + 5 Points switched shifts with a colleague that day- then I never would have crossed paths with him .
After Jarvis left , Adrian , picking up on my reluctance to talk , wisely kept quiet .
One ordinary day , Giannas mother passed away , and Jarvis was there for her every step of the way .
I found out through her social circle there was a photo of her snuggled up in Jarvis arms .
The caption read : I wouldnt know what to do without you .
From now on , youre my support .
I wanted to comment Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness , but I held back .
Instead , I deleted all their contact 6/9 Chapter 7 + 5 Points information every last bit of it .
Life slowly began to fall back into place .
But Jarvis wouldnt let go .
It was as if he had sensed something , and he started showing up at the bar , seeking me out .
One evening after work , he stopped me .
Ellie , I really understand now , I never intended to be with Gianna .
I only did it to ease her mothers worries .
Ive always loved you .
Can we start over ? This time , let me chase after you .
He said he understood his mistake , but I no longer had the desire to ask him anything .
Gianna is a good person .
You should be 7/9 Chapter 7 + 5 Points with her .
Theres no chance for us anymore .
As soon as the words left my mouth , he immediately retorted , No ! Shes nothing like you .
Shes like a man , paranoid and driving me crazy .
Youre the best .
I dont want to lose you .
Please , give me another chance , Ellie .
I furrowed my brows , staring at the pitiful Jarvis before me , and coldly spoke , Youre really a piece of trash , you know that ? Consider this me begging you stop coming here and ruining my life .
A decent ex should be like theyre dead .
Especially you , my ex husband you should go and get reincarnated .
I took the words from his colleague and threw them back at him , hoping hed grow 8/9 Chapter 7 5 Points some self respect and leave .
But he just stood there , pale faced , and said , Im sorry .
I should have introduced you to them .
I shouldnt have kept it a secret … Not hearing what I wanted , I cut off his apology .
Enough .
I dont want to hear your repentance .
Go where you came from and dont ever let me see you again .
By some strange coincidence , every time Jarvis became a nuisance , Adrian was there .
This time was no different .
Jarvis , seeing Adrian standing before him , didnt lash out like last time .
Instead , he looked at me , standing firm beside Adrian , and said , Ellie , Ill keep my word .
With a look of hostility toward Adrian , he turned and walked away .
