Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife – Sneak Peek

Joelle Miller pored over Rebecca Lloyd’s Twitter feed, studying each video with laser-sharp attention. “Do you see this? He saves the juiciest slice of watermelon just for me.”

“Even when he comes home late, he never forgets to bring me a little something.”

“And look at this—surprise! He picked up a blessing charm for me from the church.”

Rebecca, the girl in the clips, exuded a soft and delicate aura in her plain white dress. She wasn’t strikingly beautiful, but there was a wholesome simplicity about her, and her smile was genuinely charming.

Joelle, peering at the screen like a spy, was eager to glimpse the face of Rebecca’s boyfriend. Rebecca’s joyful narrations and the casual snippets of her life with her boyfriend steeped Joelle in gloom.

She discovered that on pivotal days—Christmas Eve, Valentine’s Day, and even on Joelle’s own birthday—Rebecca was with Adrian Miller, her so-called husband, who had been missing from all significant events for the past three years.

The username on the account was “Countdown to Death.” That was the only account Joelle followed. As she was about to reflect on the ominous name, the bathroom door swung open.

In the dimly lit room, Adrian appeared, his broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, clad only in a towel wrapped around his hips. Water dripped from his hair. Despite the low light, his striking features were undiminished.

Joelle instinctively snapped her phone shut and gazed at him, lost in thought. It had been ages since she last laid eyes on Adrian. Tonight, he was here not by choice. His grandmother, Irene Miller, was ill and desperate for a great-grandchild, which compelled him to return. Otherwise, he might never have come back.

Over their three-year marriage, Adrian seldom visited home, spending most of his time at Oak Villas. It was common knowledge that he held no love for Joelle. She felt trapped in a marriage that existed in name only.
