Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 311

“Her ex-husband—is it Beasley?” Waller asked.

He hadn’t been able to question his father about who had really hurt Willow in her past life, but confirming the identity of Willow’s ex-husband was simple enough. Just a single question.

“That’s right, it’s him.” But as soon as Leo answered, he frowned and shot Waller a sharp look. “Wait a second. You didn’t stumble across a video online and come to this conclusion yourself, did you?”

So that’s why Waller was coming to him, half-informed, looking for confirmation?

This kid!

Waller’s strong brows drew together. “A video online? What video?”

“You haven’t seen it?” Leo was surprised. He’d assumed his son had watched the clip circulating online—the one of Willow and her ex-husband at the hospital—and started connecting the dots.

But from the look on Waller’s face, it was clear he hadn’t seen it.

Honestly, Waller had no idea what video his father was talking about. But if Leo was bringing it up, it had to involve Willow and Beasley.

“Do you have the video?” Waller asked, wanting to see it for himself.

Leo hesitated for a moment.

By now, anything related to Willow—videos, articles, photos—had been scrubbed clean from the internet. An average person wouldn’t be able to find a trace.

But was he just an average person?

Still, why put his son through the pain of seeing that mess?

“There’s really nothing worth seeing,” Leo said, deliberately putting on a stern face.

“I want to see it,” Waller insisted.

“I can send it to you,” Leo said, seizing the chance to nudge his son. “But you have to promise me—next time you have a day off, invite Willow out. Dinner, a movie, something. Spend some time together and see where it leads.”

The stealth drone project Willow had been heading was finally through field trials and about to go into full production. She was on leave for the foreseeable future—a rare window of opportunity.

Waller just looked at him. “Then I’ll just try to find it myself.”

It was as if she were staring at a mortal enemy, someone she could never forgive.

If he didn’t know about Willow’s tragic end in her previous life, he might’ve brushed off the video as a lovers’ quarrel, a married couple having an emotional spat.

He might have even wondered if Willow was pregnant—she was retching badly in the video, after all.

But now, he realized it might not have been pregnancy at all. More likely, it was a stress reaction.

He remembered that hike, when they’d run into Beasley at the summit. Afterward, Ian Lockwood had called him specifically to mention that Willow seemed to have PTSD—post-traumatic stress disorder—when it came to that man.

Waller recalled the way Beasley had stared at Willow up there on the mountain.

That look was nothing like what he’d seen in the video.

And thinking back on Willow’s reaction at the time, Waller couldn’t help but question everything.

He watched the video on his phone one last time, brow furrowed in thought as it looped again and again. Finally, he closed it and opened his chat with Willow on WhatsApp.
