Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 906:

Rickey stood still, watching as Aurora disappeared into the crowd. While everyone else headed toward their exam rooms, Rickey turned in the opposite direction, making his way to the entrance.

He didn’t need to take the university entrance exam—his family had already paved a different path for him long ago.

Rickey left the venue and strolled along the road until he reached a sleek black Bentley parked under a tree.

The rear window rolled down slowly, revealing a figure seated inside. Rickey leaned casually against the car and said, “She’s already inside.”

The person in the back seat gave a small nod before handing Rickey a sealed envelope.

“What’s this?” Rickey asked, examining it curiously.

“Her exam ticket. I prepared an extra one just in case.”

Rickey’s lips curved into a faint smile. “You’re always so meticulous. When she got her first period, you even prepared tampons for her. She almost hit me when I handed them over.”

“Rickey, I only feel guilty towards her. You’re the one who’s truly been there for her.”

Rickey let out a sharp, derisive laugh. “Come on. She likes you. From elementary to middle school, high school, and now, she’s been chasing after you.”

Dunn fell silent.

Rickey reached out and gave Dunn a firm pat on the shoulder. “Relax. Once she’s done with the exam, I’ll step aside. When you’re both at the same university, there won’t be anything standing in your way. I’ll be living it up abroad! One girlfriend from school, another from outside school—and both of them will have to be hot.”

Dunn hesitated, almost saying something before quickly changing his words. “Then I wish you all the best.”

Rickey smirked and nudged a pebble with his foot, watching it roll away. “Honestly, Dunn, I don’t ask for much. As long as she remembers me once in a while, that’s enough. I’ve been her bodyguard for all these years. If she doesn’t even think of me sometimes, wouldn’t that just be too ungrateful?”

Dunn had known Rickey for many years.

Although their interactions had been limited, their connection through Aurora had turned them into the closest of friends.

Dunn could see the pain hidden beneath Rickey’s casual words, the way his shoulders tensed ever so slightly.

But Rickey’s future had always been clear—he was meant to go abroad for his studies and take over his family business.

Dunn never believed Aurora’s feelings for him were romantic. Or perhaps, he refused to believe that anyone could hold him in her heart so deeply for so many years.

When they were younger, they felt more like family, but life had pulled them apart too abruptly. There had been too much chaos—Ryland’s disappearance, his aunt’s interference in Adrian and Joelle’s relationship, and Aurora’s kidnapping.
