The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 588 - The Castle Wasn’t Her Home

Chapter 588: The Castle Wasn’t Her Home

The castle belonged to the Ye family and the property deed was in Ye Hao’s name. This castle was financed by Ye Snr. before they were married and under the new marriage laws, she did not own any part of the castle.
Therefore, she would truly have to leave if he wanted her to do so, even if she was Xi Xi’s biological mother.
She entered the guest room and immediately went to wash up. After she washed up in a few simple steps, she curled up in bed.
The night felt extremely long when she didn’t have her medication to tide her through the night and she could even count the seconds that were ticking by.
Similarly, Ye Hao was unable to sleep in his large and luxurious bedroom.
He didn’t even turn off the lights, as though he was waiting for her to return.
When he didn’t hear the sound of the door turning more than an hour later, he punched the tea table in a fit of anger and the table shook so hard that the things on the tea table clinked loudly together.
This was when he noticed the small pill bottles on the table. The words Xanax were printed strikingly against the white bottles. They were sleeping pills!
His heart suddenly clenched as though something had gripped it and his brows slammed together. He reached out to grab a bottle from the table and clenched it so hard that he looked like he was about to crush it.
He finally guessed why her phone had been constantly turned off the past few days and why she had been sleeping when he returned today. She must have taken these pills.
This silly woman, didn’t she know that she could die if she overdosed on such pills?
He opened the pill bottle and threw all its contents into the toilet bowl.
Then, he returned to the bedroom and fell asleep without washing up.
However, he didn’t sleep well that night and constantly tossed and turned in bed. He was both troubled and upset and even woke up on several occasions to smoke. He didn’t look for her because he wanted her to clear her mind and carefully mulled over her choices, hoping that she’d be able to come to a decision earlier. He was rather certain that she would abandon her son because of himself and Xi Xi. This was just like how she had run away with Yuan Yuan when the judge had given custody of Yuan Yuan over to the Mo family – she had ultimately come around in the end.
He was sure that she would similarly come around this time as well but it was an extremely difficult decision for her to make as compared to the previous time.
The next morning at 8 AM, Ye Hao rose from bed as per his usual schedule. He went downstairs and wanted to see if she had come to a decision.
“Mr. Ye, this is your breakfast!” Housekeeper Lu said as he served Ye Hao’s breakfast.
The chefs had all returned to their hometown for their summer vacation, so he was forced to cook today. He wasn’t as skilled in cooking as compared to the professional chefs but he wasn’t that bad of cook.
“Where’s Mrs. Ye? Is she still in bed?” Ye Hao asked when he didn’t see her after looking around.
It was already 8 AM, so could she still be sleeping in that room?
Housekeeper Lu shook his head and said, “Sir, Mrs. Ye had left at around 6 AM this morning. Weren’t you aware of this?”
Housekeeper Lu deliberately acted like he was very confused. In fact, he was well aware of what had transpired and had seen He Xiyan driving out of the castle more than an hour ago.
Ye Hao frowned and surprise flashed past his eyes as he repeated, “Are you saying she left at six in the morning?” He was extremely shocked. It as currently winter, so at six AM, the sky was just starting to turn bright, and moreover, it was currently the lunar new year season, so where could she have gone to?
“Yes,” Housekeeper Lu continued and said, “Oh yes, Mr. Ye. Mrs. Ye had asked me for the keys to the guest room 203 on the second floor last night but I don’t recall receiving any guests over this period.”
Housekeep Lu asked despite knowing the answer to his question and continued to look confused.
