I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Ties That Bind and Grind

Could you think before you act? Easton is Ellis’s ex–husband. Why on earth would you involve him in her business?” Morty criticized Cameron’s actions, clearly annoyed that he seemed to favor Easton over himself.

“Huh” Cameron was taken aback. “Are you mad at me?”

Tim not mad. I’m just pointing out your stupidity.”

Tm not stupid, okay?

Morty didn’t respond verbally but gave Cameron a look that suggested he should reflect on his own actions.

Meanwhile, Ellis and Maya had stepped outside the restaurant, with Easton still following them.

Seeing this, Morty’s mood darkened further. What is Easton’s intention in following Ellis?

Being called stupid to his face for the first time in his life–especially by a close friend–didn’t sit well with Cameron, and he muttered a few complaints under his breath.

He half expected Morty to call him stupid again, but Morty didn’t react, his attention fixed on something else.

Following Morty’s gaze. Cameron looked outside and saw that Ellis and Maya had stopped walking. They stood side by side, facing Easton, creating a two–against–one standoff.

“Why did Easton follow them if Ellis said she didn’t need an escort?” Cameron asked, puzzled.

Just be quiet: your words only prove your foolishness.” Morty was deep in thought, trying to figure out Easton’s motives, and didn’t want any distractions.

Cameron clutched his chest dramatically. “Seriously, man, what’s with you tonight? You’re super protective of Ellis, and you didn’t even say hi to Easton?”

Easton had ignored Morty completely, which was odd on its own. Morty not acknowledging Easton as if he didn’t exist was

“Huh?” Cameron was shocked. “You mean it’s that serious?*

Since deciding he wanted to be with Ellis, Morty had cut off his friendship with Easton, and Easton’s actions didn’t suggest he regarded Morty as a friend anymore. Morty didn’t elaborate, leaving Cameron to ponder in silence.

“What happened that I don’t know about?” Cameron pressed for answers.

“There’s a lot you don’t know. And now’s not the time to ask, Morty replied curtly.

Morty called him stupid, and maybe he was. Had he inadvertently created a mess by bringing together people who clearly didn’t get along?

Cameron laughed nervously as Morty’s cold gaze swept over him again. “Before tonight, you never told me you and Easton had cut ties. If I had known, I wouldn’t have sent the restaurant’s address to Easton.”

“From now on, don’t put me and Easton in the same place, Morty paused, “and don’t put Ellis and Easton together either. You

can see Ellis hates it.”

Cameron nodded earnestly. It was obvious to anyone that Ellis was not pleased with Easton’s presence. He resolved not to create such awkward situations again.

But he still felt something odd about Morty’s behavior, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint what.

abruptly? Did they have irreconcilable differences?
