Pepper POV

I heard the fading sounds of the children’s voices. Thea’s voice was the loudest.

There was a hint of excitement and contentment in her voice that was not there before.

It does not take a genius to figure out that it had something to do with the regular presence of their father.

Yet, the echo it created around us, despite their absence, caused me to freeze. I can’t seem to move from leaning on the counter. My back to the kitchen entrance.

The triplets’ quick appearance and disappearance at an inopportune time made me recoil in my standing position.

What if they saw us hugging?

Or they saw us hugging,

  • BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE    Chapter 87. My Father's Son

    Pepper POVI stood up, eyes wide in shock when I heard Victor’s question and saw his massive frame blocking the main door of the house.I did not hear him coming, nor did Shan.Maybe because we were so engrossed in our talk.Victor walked toward me. It took him three strides before I found him standing in front of me.He was so tall that I had to look up to see through his face.“I want you to know that I fired Maggie yesterday. She was no longer working for me.”I opened my mouth in an attempt to say something, but nothing came out.Then, I realized he had six years to do that, but he didn’t.“I know it was hard to believe, but it was the truth. After what happened yesterday at the office, I finally had enough and fired her. But I can’t say she wouldn’t be a threat. Maggie does not accept humiliation like that gracefully. She already filed a case against me at the Labor Relations Board. I am sorry.”Shan moved out when she realized that Victor and I had a tendency to engage in heate

    Pepper POV​"What do you want to eat?" I asked Shan after coming down from locking myself in my room.It was almost lunch, so I thought of whipping out something for us.“Oh, you want to cook again?” She wore a long-suffering look that made me laugh.“We still have leftover food from breakfast.” She told me.When I remembered how I almost ransacked our pantry, I blushed.I was nervous and mad, but I couldn’t lose my temper at Victor in front of the children. That would undermine him in the eyes of my children.While I wanted to lash out, that would not be in accordance with what Victor and I wanted to achieve for our children.My eyes began to wander, checking for the triplets and their father, finally noticing the silence.Weird.“Where are they?” I asked Shan."Victor and the children went out to buy some stuff for their night outing. The children wanted to see the eclipse that will be happening tonight." Shan reported.I vaguely remembered making a promise to Aaron that we would w

I could feel her fury a mile back and resolved to endure it.​

    Pepper POVUpon hearing Victor’s announcement, I had forgotten to comment on how Aaron addressed him. Not Mr. Victor, but Daddy.It would have been a momentous moment for us, but it paled in comparison to Victor’s shocking revelation.If Victor did not announce what he did, Aaron calling him Daddy for the first time would have been a happy event.I would have been elated by this latest development.But my happiness was punctured by Victor’s statement earlier about moving in with us.Victor was not asking.Neither was he requesting.He was imposing.I wanted to scream and stamp on his foot in frustration.Just when he told me that he wouldn't bulldoze his way in, he was doing it again.He was forcing my hand again.Where was our talk about taking it nice and slow?My face contorted in annoyance, and I was so ready to blow my top, but the protest was stuck in my throat when I heard Althea speak, telling me her thoughts about this current development in our lives.She was so happy.“Yey!

    Pepper POV“You patched things up?” Shan asked eagerly when Victor left for the night.After dining at home, with Victor becoming our regular cook and Althea working as his little assistant, Shan came to my room to fish for information.I was surprised. She had been silent the whole afternoon and evening, and I thought she wouldn’t be eager to inquire about my talk with Victor.I stopped applying neat cream on my face to face her.“We have an understanding,” I told her, but then I pierced her with a sharp look.“You still owe me,” I warned.Shan giggled. “I am sorry, but if I did not do that, you won’t kiss and make up. You did, didn’t you?” There was excitement in Shan’s voice that was both alarming and satisfying.It did not deter the blush staining my neck and face at the mention of the kiss.Surprisingly, my talk with Victor, though a little unnerving at first, managed to break the ice between us. This softened my stance, allowing me to finally let myself listen to what Victor ha
