BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 177. Just for This Night Only
Pepper POVI called one of the maids to ask two of Victor’s aides to help me bring him to his room so he could retire and rest.When they came in, Victor was ready for them.He ambled toward the door with the help of the men while I followed.In the bedroom, the men helped him until he reached the bed and sat down on its edge.He really looked like he could use a rest.The effort it took him to walk the short distance from the recreation room to his room took its toll on him.Beads of sweat clung to his face.Immediately, I took out a fresh towel from the drawer and dabbed it on his face.“I need a shower.”“Later,” I told him.He closed his eyes. I thought he was already asleep when he began to talk again.“I also need a live-in nurse. Call Matthew and ask him to arrange one for me.” He said with his eyes closed.I frowned at the suggestion.“Why? You don’t need me anymore?”Victor’s hand moved and, with his eyes closed, groped for mine.“Sweetheart, you are busy. You also have a bus
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 176. Thank You For This Wonderful Family
Pepper POVI was exhausted.After we shared the surprise meal the children prepared for Victor’s welcome home party, Victor shook his head when I suggested he retire to his room, refusing to rest.He specifically asked if he could play with the children in the recreation room, insisting even though his eyelids drooped and he struggled to stay awake.“You should take a rest.” I reminded him, but he gave me a pleading look that I couldn't say no to.His face clearly showed his exhaustion. His eyes drooped, and his expression was tired.His meds are taking their toll on him, and his eyes are shutting down, but he is forcing them open so he can watch the children play.“Victor.” I reminded him again.This time, I was sounding stern, but before Victor could start appealing to me, his children already beat him to it.“Not yet, Mommy. We wanted to show Daddy what we learned while you two were at the hospital.”Shan bought a golden, gleaming microphone, and Althea brandished it in our faces.
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 175. What Family Means
Victor POVAll through our trek out of the hospital room, to the hallways, the elevator, and up until we reached the lobby of the hospital, I was holding Pepper’s hand.While I itched to be discharged so I could see my children and attend Gunner Holdings, Inc., there was a nagging thought at the back of my head that says everything will change.Pepper and I will no longer stay in close quarters together.I won’t have the monopoly on her attention once we are out of the hospital.She won’t be staying with me twenty-four-seven. I have to face the fact that she also had many responsibilities. She has a business to run, too.She’s not just my partner anymore. She is also a mother.And the kids would always be our top priority.I just hope that whatever progress we made at the hospital will remain.Ben drove us.We sat side by side in the car, still holding hands.Pepper’s free hand holds the bouquet I gave her earlier.Despite our proximity, I could feel the subtle change in Pepper. She
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 174. Notable Progress
Pepper POVWe slept that night with our arms around each other.We woke when Victor’s doctor made his daily rounds.“Your vitals are good, Mr. Gunner. Even your laboratory results are fine. Your wounds are healing, too.”Victor grinned after the doctor read his report.“Does that mean I can leave now?” he asked.The doctor shook his head. “You seemed to be in a hurry.”“I have children waiting and a business to run, Doctor,” he quipped.The doctor looked a bit stern when he eyed Victor and me.“You cannot strain yourself. You need rest to heal faster.”It was my time to butt in. “Don’t worry, doctor. I will make sure he gets the rest he needs.”I can understand Victor’s eagerness to leave this place. Besides, I miss the triplets so much. They came to visit twice, but it was not enough.Shan and Samuel were taking good care of them, but as a mother, I feel uneasy every time I am not around them.This is the longest I have been away from them. Though it’s only been days and we communic
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 173. Light at the End of the Tunnel
Pepper POVI stared into his face. He still sports a pallor.His eyes and cheeks were sunken, but I could not pull my gaze away.It was as if he was sucking me in through his sheer honesty.I feel like drowning.My chest expanded as I took a huge gulp of air without breaking eye contact.“I love you. Have I told you that today?” He asked.I licked my suddenly dried lips, and he closed his eyes, but not before I saw the raw hunger in them.“At the right time, you will be mine.” He told me.I wanted to cry out.This scene was so perfect that I felt we were in a bubble, all on our own.I had this insane thought that someone with ill intent would come in to puncture the illusion and transport us back to reality, where Victor was not saying all these things to me.I sniffed.I did not realize I was crying until Victor traced the line of my tears with his lips.“I had been such a fool before Pepper. I wanted to make things right between us. I can wait until you are ready to welcome me back
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 172. My Wife Again
Pepper POVThe smile never left my lips, seeing the tortured look on Victor’s lips.His arms lifted. Guessing his intent, I dodged him, and giggled. He attempted to catch me again, and I stepped to the side, rendering his effort futile. We stopped our playful antics when my phone rang with that special tone I assigned to the kids.Saved by my little angels, I thought, an involuntary smile spreading across my lips.Eagerly, I swiped open my phone to see their big faces fill the screen, looking comically large.“Mommy!” They cried simultaneously.When they noticed I was alone, they immediately inquired about their Father.“Where is Daddy?” Althea asked.“I am here. Hello, my princess.” He greeted our daughter smoothly.I yelped when Victor pulled me to his lap, which gave him access to my camera. Now, we are in one frame.But he was uncomfortable. I heard him hiss a while ago.“Stop wiggling.” He whispered in a hoarse voice when I squirmed in his lap with the intention of standing up
