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

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 074 ~ Someone is after Lucas

    074.Janette quickly moved away from him like she had been harassed and blinked at him. Her cheeks turned pink immediately and she quickly looked away from Lucas.Her head buzzed with embarrassment. She couldn’t believe he heard everything she said. And the kiss… her hands went to her lips and she touched them—soft, moist—as a result of the Kiss. Her heart beat accelerated.She tensed up when she felt someone wrap his arms around her. Her body relaxed when Lucas kissed the crook of her neck.“Jane,” he called, his voice barely above a whisper. Janette felt the tingles in her neck as a result of his breathing, but her throat felt like it was clogged and she couldn’t bring herself to say anything else. She felt if she opened her mouth, it might come out as a croak instead. Her throat had already dried at this rate.Lucas pulled back and turned her to face him. “Did you mean everything you said?”Janette opened her mouth to speak bu

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 073 ~ Stupid emotions

    073.Liam couldn’t believe what his father just said. “What are you talking about? You know I can’t hurt Janette.”Reynold scoffed. “What? She can handle it. It’s not like you love her or something. We’ve been doing this because of what we tend to gain.”Liam shook his head. “Yeah, I might have done this because of what I wanted to gain by marrying her, but I love her genuinely, Dad. Besides, after our marriage, she’s going to be with me for the rest of her life. How do you want her to like me if I do that to her?”Reynold smacked his head. “You fool!” he snapped. “I never said you have to do it by yourself. Get someone to get it done for you. And you know who I am talking about. If she does it, no one will even suspect you. After all, both of them are already clashing.”Liam sighed and ruffled his hair. “But you do know I love her right? She’s going to go through pain—““Put your stupid emotions aside and do what I ask you,” Rey

    072.CALIFORNIA…“It’s done?” Liam asked.“Yes,” the person answered from the other end and Liam hung up the phone with a smile. Finally, Lucas was taken care of. He would be returning home in five days. He was sure Lucas would still be asleep before he came.Thankfully, they didn’t use just peanut butter but there were also sleeping drugs induced in the sandwich he took; one that would be hard to detect. He was sure that would keep Lucas knocked out until he returned and proposed to Janette.He was sure that Janette was going down memory lane by now, and she was going to hate Lucas even more. He’d heard about what happened a week ago—how Lucas had sey up a dinner date and Janette became very angry.He had simply called to know how Janette was doing after that, and he didn’t want to say he was happy she looked devastated, but that gave him the hope that he had a chance with her and Lucas had lost that round.He chuckled and crossed his legs. “Don’t worry, my Princess. I will be back t

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 071 ~ Idiot

    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

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 070 ~ Allergy

    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

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 066 ~ Fire on the mountain

    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
