My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage
Chapter 56

Episode 56

However, as her feelings deepened and after their original agreement ended, Elizabeth had timidly suggested perhaps holding a wedding.

Initially, Elijah dodged her proposals with a string of excuses.

Eventually, he dropped the act and bluntly declared that since they were already legally bound, any additional ceremony was unnecessary and a mere waste of time.

Elizabeth, blinded by her affection, had rationalized his hectic life and quelled her desires, telling herself that life was inherently flawed and what truly mattered was making the best of their life together.

But reflecting on it now, she recognized her naivety, realizing she had been far less perceptive than Yara.

Suppressing her growing sadness, Elizabeth managed to muster a contrived smile.

“At least having something is better than having nothing.

Holding the title of Mrs.

James keeps me one step ahead of you.

In our social circles, rank matters greatly.” She paused, inching closer to Yara with a sly tilt of her head.

“Truth be told, if I set my sights on ruining you, there wouldn’t be a place for you in Orkset at all.” Elizabeth’s eyes twinkled mischievously as she observed the shift in Yara’s demeanor.

With a slight, knowing smile, she straightened, her hands unfolding as if displaying her helplessness.

“Indeed, as you’ve mentioned, the title of Mrs.

James carries substantial weight-something you and your mother can merely dream of.” Yara bristled at Elizabeth’s air of superiority, her jaw clenching.

“Don’t get too full of yourself, Elizabeth.

Your husband and Sandra have been all over the news lately.

Who are you trying to impress by acting tough with me? Will you not eventually be outclassed by Sandra, despite her charm and lineage being far beneath yours?” Yara’s voice grew louder, her words sharp with challenge.

“I might never claim the title of Mrs.

James, but tell me-how long can you truly cling to it?” At that moment, a deep, resonant voice, rich as a cello, filled the air behind Elizabeth.

“Since Elizabeth became my wife, she will remain my wife forever.

We value unwavering faithfulness in my family-something your family doesn’t seem to share.” Startled, Elizabeth spun around.

Elijah was approaching, his silhouette outlined against the glowing sunlight, his features more defined and imposing than ever.
