13. THE CAFETERIA… Sophie sat at the cafeteria, her tray of food in front of her, but she hadn't touched it. She was so lost in thoughts that she didn't know when her colleague and best friend, Mia, sat in front of her. Mia watched Sophie for a while, wondering what was wrong with her. When she couldn't take how pitiful Sophie was looking, she tapped her, causing her to flinch. “What is wrong with you? You haven't even touched your food. Are you sick?” she asked, but Sophie shook her head. “Then what is wrong with you?” Sophie sighed and looked around to make sure nobody's attention was on them before speaking up. “It's Mr. Lucas.” she answered and Mia sighed. “I should have known he's the only reason you can sit here, lost in deep thoughts and not touching your food,” she rolled her eyes and Sophie frowned at her. “What is up with him this time, Sophie?” she asked. Sophie adjusted in her seat and looked at Mia, her expression sad. “Mr. Lucas doesn't seem happy lately, an

14. “No way! Are you serious?” Janette asked, her heart literally bubbling with joy. This was the best news she has heard today. Liam chuckled from the other end. “I can’t wait to finally see you, Jane.” She blushed, her face beaming with smiles. “I can’t wait to see you too. I bet Ethan will be thrilled to hear this news,” she said and there was no reply from the other end. “When are you coming? I need to get everything ready and prepare your favorite meal of course.” Liam hummed. “I’ve missed your cooking, Jane. I simply can’t wait,” he said and she chuckled. “I’ll be coming in two days.” Janette couldn’t contain her joy. “I can’t wait.” They talked for a while before hanging up and Janette couldn’t help but smile throughout the day. She had to even get off work early so she could pick Ethan up from school, take him to his favorite cupcake shop and allow him to have fun. * “Mummy!” Ethan exclaimed the minute he saw her walk through the door. He rushed into her arms and she pe

15.“Beauty tips?” Janette blinked. “She is just a kid!”Fiona scoffed. “That doesn’t matter,” she blurted out, her gaze flying to Ethan, who stood, holding on to Janette’s hands. She couldn’t deny that Ethan was good-looking and she wondered what skin cares routine Janette uses for him. “What skin care routine do you use for your little boy?” she asked and Janette blinked.Janette looked at Ethan then back at Fiona.Ethan was quick to defend his mother. “My mummy doesn’t use any skin care routine on me. I am naturally good-looking. I got it from my daddy!” Fiona raised an eyebrow. “There is no way you’d look handsome and cute without your mother using any skin care products on you. Trust me, you’re just a kid and you know nothing. You’re simply—”“I’d have to stop you right there, Fiona,” Janette interrupted with a raise of her palm. “My son is naturally cute and adorable, and so is your daughter, Amaya. You should focus on taking better care of her and her needs instead of trying t

16.After dinner, Janette cleared the place and tucked Ethan into bed before making her way to the porch with a cup of coffee in her hand. Since Liam was returning home today, she didn't want to bother Sophia with coming over anymore and had to do most things herself.She took a seat and crossed her legs over themselves as she gazed at the stars with a smile on her face. She had always loved watching the stars every night but after everything turned upside down, she lost her love for them.She felt they weren’t even living things and they got to stay up there tasked with only the job of aiding the moon in lighting everywhere while her life was in shambles.But after she got her life back together, she felt apologetic and developed her love for them again. She heaved a deep breath as they shone and shimmered above her head.She took a sip from her coffee and her phone beeped. She took it and checked to see that there was an emergency at the hospital that needed her attention immediatel

17.Janette stared at Lucas, her mouth agape. The world was a small place, wasn't it? She had fought tooth and nail to save this woman's life not knowing that the woman was the Aunt to her jerky ex-husband.Lucas looked up to meet Janette's gaze. Her expression turned indifferent at the sight of him and it made him feel hurt. "How is she, please?" he asked, his voice slightly shaken.Janette sighed. "She made it through surgery and will be fine," she said and Lucas breathe a sigh of relief. "The healing process is going to be long, but I will be with her every step of the way."Lucas felt grateful. He held her hand. "Thank you so much, Janette. You have no idea what this means to me. Aunt Mary had always been my source of comfort and confidant-""Mr. Lucas?" she interrupted him, pulling her hand away from his grasp. "I am not interested in your history with her or how good your relationship with her is. What I'm concerned about is her health and I already told you she would be fine."

18."I'm still not understanding what you mean, Liam," she replied, her eyes not leaving his. "And why are you snapping at me?"Liam's gaze didn't falter. "You should know exactly what I mean, Jane. If you're seeing Lucas often, it's only natural that he would try to win you back," he said and Janette instantly knew what this was all about. Liam was feeling insecure.She sighed. "Calm down, Liam. I am already over Lucas. You don't have to worry about anything. Don't you trust me?" she asked.Liam seemed to calm down a bit as he responded. "I trust you. It's that motherfucker I don't trust. There is no doubt he would try to find a way to get back together with you."Janette held his hand to reassure him. "I'm with you now. Lucas can only try, but he would never take me away from you. So, relax."Liam sighed and ruffled his hair. "I'm sorry for the way I snapped at you. It's just that I couldn't bear the thought of you two spending time together, and now his Aunt is at the hospital. Yo

19.Lucas turned to look at Janette, his eyes filled with hurt. When she told him she had a fiancé, she thought it was all a ploy to get him to leave her alone since she was angry with him. He couldn’t believe she really had a fiancé.Janette looked at him, her expression unreadable. Well… that served him right. He needed to know his place anyway.“Jane,” he called, his voice low and unsteady. “It’s really true? Tell me he is joking.” he looked at Liam, who had a smirk on his face.“Why do you need to know if it’s true or not? Isn’t it obvious,” he walked to where Janette stood and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “She is going to be my wife soon. We are planning our wedding soon.”Lucas ignored Liam and faced Janette. “Tell me, Janette, tell me it’s not true.” he tried to touch her but she moved away from him.She intertwined her fingers with that of Liam and looked at Lucas. “It’s true, Lucas. Liam and I will soon get married.”Lucas felt like a thousand needles had just been

20.Lucas walked into his Aunt Mary's hospital ward, his heart shattered into a million pieces. The beeping of the machines and the antiseptic smell filled the air, but his senses were numb. He stared at his aunt's unconscious body, her frail form a stark reminder of his own vulnerability.Tears rolled down his cheeks as he recalled Janette's words: "Leave, Lucas." The finality in her voice still echoed in his mind. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of regret."Oh, Aunt Mary," he whispered, his voice cracking. "I've messed up so badly. I've lost her. I've lost Janette."He pulled up a chair and sat beside his aunt's bed, taking her limp hand in his. The warmth of her skin was a faint comfort."Why did I do it, Aunt Mary?" he asked aloud, his eyes welling up with tears. "Why did I cheat on her? Why did I lie to her?"The memories flooded his mind: Janette's laughter, her smile, her tears. He remembered the way she used to look at him, with love and adoration. Now, that same look wa

071.Fear gripped Janette as her hands trembled. She was about to shed a tear when she recalled that she was a doctor. Her instincts kicked in immediately and she rushed to her feet and stormed out of the office. She quickly called the male and female nurses.“Bring a stretcher to my office immediately!”A few minutes later, they were rolling Lucas into a ward room. When they were in, Janette wanted to check but one of her doctors stopped her.“You are all flustered right now. It wouldn’t be right for you to check on him and treat him yet. Why not allow us to handle it? You can go out and calm down.”Janette shook her head. “I have a fast seat of relieving him. I’m not flustered. I’m so calm right now,” she said but the fear could be seen on her face.The nurses exchanged curious looks. They’d never seen her worried over a patient like this before. Could it be personal? The doctors tried to talk Janette out of it but she refused and decided to calm herself down instead. When they wer

070.Five Days Later…Janette walked into her office, her eyes widening when she saw a bouquet of roses resting on the desk with a note attached to it. She needed no one to tell her who it was from—Lucas—this was what he had been doing for the past five days. She’d even have to send Rosa to Alan to warn him, but it seemed the more she warned him, the more stubborn he became.She took the bouquet of roses and wondered why they smelled like chocolates only for her to see a small box of chocolate from Ronald’s in them. It was her favorite. How did he even know that?Janette recalled telling years ago to always get it for her on his way back from work, and he would deny her of it every time, but always ended up bringing it home whenever he returned. She opened the box of chocolates, her eyes lighting up in excitement when the soft aroma wafted past her nostrils. She took one and unwrapped it. When she put it in her mouth, her eyes closed in delight. She couldn’t recall the last time she
Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart Chapter 069 ~ What have you done to me?
069.The next morning, Janette was seated in the hospital, lost in her own thoughts. No matter how hard she tried to forget, it just didn’t work. She always thought about Lucas and everything she said to him. Last night, she saw the raw emotions in his expression—pain, longing, regret and heartbreak—and it was all because she let her emotions take over and acted repulsively.Her phone beeped with a video call from Liam. Janette stared blankly at the phone screen, wondering why Liam wanted to have a video call now that she felt like she was losing her mind. With a resigned sigh, she picked the phone up, cleared her hair from her forehead and answered. Liam’s excited face popped up on the screen and Janette forced a smile at him. Liam’s smile faded when he saw her expression.“Are you okay?” he asked, his tone laced with worry.Janette nodded her head. “Yeah. Just tired that’s all.”Liam wasn’t buying that. “Are you sure?” he asked, squinting his eyes as if he wanted to get a closer lo
Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart Chapter 068 ~ Instant Regret
068.When Janette was out of the restaurant, she leaned on the wall there, fearing that if she moved further, she might fall. Her heart was aching badly and he began to feel instant regret. All the things she said echoed in her head and she placed both palms on her head and ruffled her hair.Tears rolled down her cheeks as she heard Lucas’ shout. She said she’d forgiven him but why did she say all those mean words to him? She could have just turned him down politely or better still walked away, but she just had to get all emotional and cause both of them pain. Maybe she had said all those words because she hated him for real, but a deeper part of her knew that she’d only said those words because she hated what she felt at that moment. Rosa, who was at a corner with Alan and had seen her walking out — looking all dejected, rushed to her immediately with Alan trailing behind her. When Janette saw them, she snickered. “I guess this is the guy you said you had feelings for,” she began, h
Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart Chapter 067 ~ Dinner gone wrong
067.Janette stared at Lucas’ hand, her expression hardening. What the heck was happening? Did Rosa just set her up? She should have suspected something was up when Rosa suddenly came to tell her about a girls night out. She should have known it was all a facade when Rosa dressed her up this much and didn’t even dress herself up. Janette snickered. They’d actually played her for a fool.“Did you plan this with Rosa?” she asked, her face twisting into a frown.Lucas stared at his outstretched hand and pulled it back, trying his best to make sure this went well. Janette didn’t look pleased with what they did, and now he felt like he was standing on thin ice. Any stupid mistake would cost him, so he had to tread carefully.“This was all me.” he answered.“Do you think I’m stupid?” Janette snapped. “If you and her didn’t do it then why did she dress me up like this? And why did she bring me here of all places with all these nonsense?” she snapped, pointing at the table and the cookies.Lu

066.CALIFORNIA…“What the heck did you just say?” Liam asked, his fists tightened so hard his knuckles were turning white.“Her car drove into the Harry’s mansion. She’s been there for like three hours now, and the informant says she hasn’t driven out of there yet.” Victor spoke up from the other end of the phone.Liam couldn’t believe what he was wearing. Did Janette actually wait for him to leave before going to see Lucas? And why didn’t she tell him where she was when he called? Did that mean she didn’t trust him at all? He couldn’t believe that he hadn’t been gone a day and Lucas was already being an asshole. Oh, he couldn’t wait to teach the bastard a lesson.“You know, Victor,” he began, his voice taking on a more dangerous tone. “I didn’t want to follow my father’s plan from the beginning, but I think I will. If Lucas can play dirty by calling my woman to his place when I’m not in town, then I can play dirty as well.”“What are you going to do?” Victor asked.Liam chuckled. “W

065.After the cake was ready, Janette served it into plates and smiled. She heard someone running towards the kitchen and turned in time to see the door opening and Ethan rushing in. Ethan’s little eyes widened the minute he saw Janette.“Mummy!” he called, spreading his arms wide.Janette smiled and picked him up, planting kisses on his face. “My sweet hero,” she said, giving him another peck on the cheek. “You’ve woken up?”Ethan nodded. “Grandma read me a story and I slept off. Then I smelled cake and had to wake up and rush down here.” he beamed.Janette chuckled. “I had to make it for you since that’s your favorite.”“It’s your favorite too, mummy.”Janette smirked. “Like mother, like son then,”Ethan smiled at her. Janette placed her hand on his forehead, the fever had calmed down. She sighed in relief. “You’re fine now, right? Do you feel pains anywhere?”Ethan shook his head. “After Daddy brought me here, I feel better. I got sick because I missed Daddy.”Janette blinked at h
Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart Chapter 064 ~ Tricks of the heart
064.Lucas watched Janette as she mixed the batter, his love for her growing with each passing moment. His eyes were on her through all the process. Janette looked up and their eyes met.“Are you watching me or what I’m doing, Mr. Harry?” she asked.Lucas shamelessly nodded. “Both.”Janette rolled her eyes. When she was done and put the cake in the oven, she turned to face him, his eyes were still on her. She folded her arms. “Seriously? You aren’t going to stop staring at me?” she asked.Lucas took a step forward and took her hand in his. “Do you want me to stop?” he asked, his voice low and his gaze fixed on her.Janette bit her lower lip. “Uhhh…”“You’re hesitating,” he smirked. “That means you do not want me to stop.”Janette scoffed. “Of course I want you to stop.”“Then why did you hesitate?” he asked, closing the distance between them.Janette met his gaze, her heart pounding in her chest. She tried to maintain her composure, but the intensity of his stare was making it difficu
Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart Chapter 063 ~ Nostalgia
063.Janette didn’t know why but when she heard that Lucas was the one who too Ethan home, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. She didn’t know if it was because she trusted that Ethan was in safe hands, or if she actually developed a soft spot for her ex-husband.She sighed and quickly placed a call to Lucas who answered immediately. Janette wondered if he was expecting her call.“Hi, where did you take Ethan?” she asked.Lucas snickered from the other hand. “Why are you asking like I kidnapped him or something?” Janette bit her lower lip. “Did I come off like that?” she sighed. “I mean, where are you and Ethan?”“Thats much better. We are at the mansion.”Janette nodded. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”“Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to come pick you up.”“No can do, Lucas,” she said. “It’s faster if I come there on my own. I’m so worried.” she hung up and removed her coat, took her jacket and picked up her car keys.Just as she was about going out the door, Rosa came in and arche
