The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) novel Chapter 443

MARY'S POV:

​I slowly lifted my head up from the cold porcelain rim.

​The wide mirror was hanging right in front of my face, clearly reflecting the room standing behind my back.

​And staring straight back at me in the glass reflection was Vesper's cruel, smiling face.

​She was standing right behind my weak body, her right hand still pressed firmly against my lower back, her sharp, neat fingernails digging hard into my skin through the thin fabric of my top. Her facial expression was pure smugness, icy cold, and completely triumphant. Her red lips were curved upward into a wide smile that did not reach her dark, calculated eyes at all. She looked exactly like a satisfied street cat that had successfully trapped a tiny mouse in a corner, taking her time to savor the delicious moment right before making the final kill.

​She suddenly released her firm hold on my shirt, stepping backward as if I were some filthy thing she could not bear to touch with her clean fingers. She slowly pulled a small white handkerchief out from her jacket pocket and raised it to cover her nose and mouth, her dark eyes crinkling up at the corners with deep disgust. The pure white cloth was completely pristine, beautifully embroidered with tiny, delicate flowers around the edge, a small, artificial prop in her dramatic daily performance of social superiority.

​"Clean yourself up properly," she spoke down to me, her fake voice completely dripping with raw contempt and disrespect. "You look absolutely awful right now. I certainly do not want to walk into the public media press conference arm in arm with you when you are looking like a total mess."

​I just crouched there on the cold bathroom tile and stared back at her.
