My Ex-Husband Is Crazy About Me
Chapter 39 ~ Resurrecting Outdated Memory

After being refused outright by Ruby to meet, Vidrian left Diedrich's company with complicated thoughts.

Surprisingly, it is not as regretful as usual.

If he would normally force himself, this time not. In addition to receiving, he also left with a chest roomy.

Leaving Carl in Diedrich's company with some minor orders, Vidrian drove and pulled his car away somewhere not far from Diedrich's company.

His intentions, certainly not something good.

But he doesn't care.

He is not a clean person either.

A lot of bad things he did, and doing one more time shouldn't be a big deal. After all, he would not be troublesome let alone harm others. Really no. If it is hard, it will bother itself. If he loses, he will lose himself. Totally alone, not involving anyone else.

After half a day of waiting, Vidrian finally saw Ruby's car leave the company. He's not in a hurry. Instead, he ensured a safe distance before quietly following behind him.

Ruby is not a fool.

Followed, it was impossible for a person like Ruby to not notice it.

Vidrian was forced to take a step back and that made him lose track of it. Not really lost, he was only slightly left behind when Ken sent a short message and said his ex-wife was there.

His ex-wife?

If not Ruby, who else?

Even a rancid bastard like Ken, instantly knew that Ruby was his Rubikan with just a glance. It would be foolish if he did not realize it.

And that's how he got here, in this place, right now.

In Ruby's arms, she felt a warmth she hadn't felt for a long time. A taste that reawakens outdated memories.

Even if it was just an instant, those pieces of the past really filled his memory. And a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Too bad, really dear, he's not the person Ruby meant to be.

He realized it, really realized if he was not the one.

He ignored Ruby. He never extended a hand to her. He never hugged her, and never said 'all will be fine'. He never came for her. Really no.

That's why, he's not the one Ruby meant.

Perhaps she was her great ex-husband, Osvaldo Diedrich. The man who never left Ruby. The man who always reached out to her, hugged her, and said 'all will be fine'. The man who loved Ruby so much. Also, the only man Ruby loves.

Not himself.

How depressing.

However, even though he knew it was not what Ruby expected, he still liked the feeling of being needed by Ruby. At least, Ruby was willing to hug him even if only for a moment. Otherwise, how could Ruby be willing to embrace her voluntarily on her own accord? Not spitting on it is already profitable.

Vidrian returned Ruby's embrace and gently rubbed her back. "Yes, everything will be fine. You're gonna be fine. Trust me," he said in a low voice.

Seeing Ruby like this, even if Ruby was so cruel to her in her waking life, she still felt sad for her. When Ruby was his wife, Ruby never showed this side, which is why she thought Ruby was so strong and didn't need anyone to embrace her.

However, it seemed, he had already misunderstood something.

Ruby's not that strong.

The fact that he was so fragile was a fact he never knew. Something that instantly made her feel useless while still her husband.

Given that, it was only natural that there was no more of it in his memory.

Now, all that is left is Osvaldo and always that man, never himself, never his name. Maybe he even forgot his existence.

Vidrian's messy. His heart is getting messed up.

This situation, like deja vu.

The beginning of the emergence of Savannah, more or less the same as the current situation. Ruby was drunk when they met. They then had intercourse without safety. The hot and exciting night they spent with violence in bed.

The result, as expected.

Ruby contains.

"Osvaldo, tell me, are you and Thaya (Athaya, Xavier's birth mother) not going to be mad at me? I promise to keep Xavier by my side until he grows up. But I made a mistake. How'this? Should I return to America and prostrate before your graves as an apology?" Ruby said with regret.

Athaya was the first wife of Osvaldo, Xavier's biological mother, as well as the woman Osvaldo loved so much. After his death, Osvaldo survived in solitude until the man finally met him.

At that time, love had not grown.

But they met quite often until finally love came over time. With Xavier attached to him, marrying Osvaldo was like finding something and putting it in his pocket, as easy as it was, really easy.

And so it was, the beginning of their marriage.

Quite a heartwarming story if remembered again.

But the point is not that.

Point is.. Osvaldo saved him from destruction. If there is no man, he may still take anti-depressant drugs or even be stuck in the hospital forever because the pain does not heal.

The presence of Osvaldo and Xavier, like an oasis in the middle of the desert. Not only giving a glimmer of hope, but also giving happiness that he did not dare to dream of before.

It was lucky to meet them.

That is why, even if he had to choose between Savana or Xavier, his biological daughter or stepson, he would still choose Xavier no matter what.

By bringing Savannah into the world at the risk of her entire life, that should be enough. While Xavier, Xavier helped him rise from the slump, making him promise to always support him no matter what.

Even if Xavier committed an unforgivable great crime, he would be the first to stand by her. As important as Xavier was to him, it was really important. And that fact will never change even if her biological daughter returns.

Maybe that sounds selfish.

But he doesn't care.

No one knows what he feels. The pain, suffering, wounds, even the risk of disability or the worst death when giving birth to Savana, she still chose to give birth to him. The pain is unlikely to go away even if years have passed.

The longer, the more intense the pain.

That's why he was stuck in the hospital for a long time with anti-depressant drugs. He must heal his body and his mind. Something that felt heavy even made him close to ending his life.

If others find out what she's been through, physical trauma as well as psychic trauma, such as how Veronica and Maxen are possessive of her, they will probably understand that her life was before reaching this point, it's not very easy.

Ruby's words jolted Vidrian's daydream.

Next to his eyebrows raised. Osvaldo's?

Hearing the name Osvaldo mentioned, his body stiffened. Although she already knew that Osvaldo was what Ruby was thinking, she still felt strange when Ruby called the name right in front of her.

Like a stone hitting his head, he became dizzy. But he hurriedly brushed off the unpleasant taste. He said, "What's going on, Ruby? Why are you saying that?" He asked carefully, afraid that Ruby would realize that she was not Osvaldo.

"He knows everything."

Ruby's answer made Vidrian's heart beat twice as fast as usual. His premonition says this about him and Savana. Good if it's true. Honestly, he was expecting this.

Vidrian loosened his embrace and stared fixedly at Ruby. "Say, what does he know?"
