Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart Chapter 025
25. Janette sat in front of Aunt Ann's hospital bed, watching the woman's chest rise and fall slowly. She grabbed hold her hand, and forced a smile. "You will wake up, soon, Aunt Ann. I can't wait to look into your honey brown eyes again; those eyes that always stared at me with love, reminding me that I had to be strong no matter what life threw my way," she muttered, rubbing the back of MaryAnn's palms. "I can't wait for you to see Ethan as well. I used to tell him stories about you, and I'm certain he would be happy to see you." Janette smiled, recalling all the fun memories she had with Aunt MaryAnn. Her mind drifted to a day she had a fight with Lucas and had left the house to Aunt Ann's place.... FLASHBACK Janette was in tears as she rushed through the streets, heading for Aunt Ann's place. Luckily, it wasn't that far from her and Lucas' place and she would always go there to clear her head. Lucas has ignored her again, calling her barren and allowing his mother to hurl al

26. Janette walked into the office and the minute Liam noticed her presence, he stood to his feet immediately and faced her, his expression hardened. "What is going on?" he asked, trying his best to keep his anger at bay. He was still reeling from his confrontation with Lucas. The last thing he wanted now was taking his anger out on her, but she wasn't helping matters either. Janette could sense that he was mad, so she tried her best to play it cool. "Look, Liam," she said softly, walking to her seat but he held her hand and turned her so she could face him. "I don't think we should get married next month. It's too fast." Liam ruffled his hair. "Too fast?" he scoffed. "We've been delaying this for weeks. And you were the one pestering me when you returned to this city that we should get married," he looked at her, his eyes filled with hurt. "What changed?" Janette bit her lower lip. He was right. She was the one who was always pestering him about marriage back when they were awa

27. "And... This goes... here," Janette smiled as she placed the flower vase on the dining table while Sophia went to get the dinner they had prepared. After the confrontation at her office, Liam had apologized and had told her he would try his best to show her that he was the best person for her, to show her that she didn't have to think about Lucas anymore, and Ethan wouldn't have to lack a fatherly figure in his life. He had suggested they did normal things couples do. Like, having a relaxing evening dinner together, going on movie dates, the park and even grocery shopping together. Janette had been excited, and she was happy as she was getting the table ready for them to have dinner like a big, happy family. Liam had not been able to make it the last two nights due to work, but he promised to make it today, and she was happy for that. "Ma'am, should I put the chicken soup along side the rice, or it'll be eaten separately since we have stew." Sophia inquired with a smile, hol

28. "I was in the neighborhood so I decided to come say hi to you and Ethan." he answered. "How did you know I live here, Lucas? What the heck is wrong with you? Why won't you just leave me alone, huh?" she snapped, her expression hardening as a friend settled on her face. Lucas sighed and ruffled his hair. "I'm sorry if I came here out of the blue, Janette. I just wanted to see my son-" "Stop calling him your son!" she yelled, her fists clenched. "You lost that right when you almost killed me years ago." "I had no idea you were bleeding for real, Janette," he said, his voice breaking. "I thought you were doing that to get my attention, but it's not an excuse and I'm sorry. I won't get tired of apologizing until you forgive me," his eyes turned misty and Janette could only stare at him with wide eyes. "You're free to do whatever you like with me. Punish me, insult me, beat me up, or even break me, but please," he looked into her glassy eyes. "Please, don't keep me from seeing my

29. A week later, “Do you think Uncle Liam will be able to make it, mummy?” Ethan asked Janette as they waited at the park. She smiled and nodded. “Yes. He promised that he was going to be here.” she answered but she wasn’t so sure anymore. It had been thirty minutes and she was beginning to wonder if he was going to make it or not. A few minutes later, she knew he wasn’t going to make it. Her smile faltered immediately. He promised… he promised her he would make it to the park to make up for all the times he hadn’t been able to spend with them. He personally suggested they came to the park and wait for him, now he was nowhere to be found? Janette facepalmed. She couldn't do this anymore. She was sick and tired of giving him second chances only for him to disappoint her all the time. She looked down at Ethan. “I guess he’s busy.” she said and Ethan nodded. “Let’s go home, mummy! I don’t feel like playing on the swings or running around the water fountain anymore.” he lo

30. After Ethan had played to his satisfaction, he fell asleep in Lucas’s arms as they walked back to where the car was parked. Janette walked beside Lucas, her eyes darting towards them now and then. Sophie, on the other hand, seemed to be in her own little world. She maintained a straight facial expression, but it was like a volcano was about to erupt inside her. She took deep calming breaths severally to maintain her composure. When they got to where the car was parked, Janette opened the door and Lucas helped tuck Ethan in. Janette made sure he was secure and wouldn’t fall while she was driving before shutting the car door and facing Lucas. “Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to play with Ethan today,” she gave him a polite bow, but Lucas only raised a brow. “Jane, stop that,” he said, and she looked up to meet his eyes. “Why are you talking like it’s a job I was paid to do?” he sighed. “It’s my responsibility, so you don’t have to thank me. I should be than

031.When Janette got home, her eyes darted to Liam’s car which was parked in the compound. With a sigh, she parked her car beside it and got out, took Ethan who was still sound asleep and walked into the house.Liam was seated on the couch and sprung to his feet the minute he saw her walking in. He approached her, attempting to take sleeping Ethan from her, but she moved back, her expression hardening as she headed up the stairs to Ethan’s room.Liam facepalmed. There was no doubt that she was mad that he had bailed on them when he was supposed to come have fun at the park with them. He rushed up the stairs and walked into Ethan’s room where he saw that she had already taken his shoes off and tucked him into bed.“Jane,” he called, but she acted as if she didn’t hear him. Instead, she focused on making sure Ethan was comfortable. “Please, hear me out.” “Do you want to wake him up?” she asked, not sparing him a glance, and he pursed his lips as he waited for her to finish.When she w

032.“You seem to be in a very good mood today, Lucas.” Alan took a seat on the chair facing Lucas’s desk as he studied his best friend’s expression. He hadn’t seen Lucas this happy ever since the divorce with Janette six years ago.He wondered what could have made him like this. Lucas swayed in his chair. “Alan, my buddy, you wouldn’t believe that I ran into Janette and Ethan at the amusement park yesterday,” he began and Alan’s ears perked up to hear more. “She actually wanted to run like she used to and be all cold and savage on him, but I developed the courage to speak to her and got her into making me spend time with Ethan,” he smiled, remembering how Janette had stared at him while he was running around with Ethan.She might think he didn’t see her, but he was watching her from the corner of his eyes. He could see how she spoke with Sophie with her eyes fixed on them, and even though he had no idea what she was talking to Sophie about—something he had planned to ask later—he di

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

A WEEK LATER...“Is everything ready?” Darcel asked as she walked into the house.Samantha and the rest nodded and gave her a thumbs up. Darcel gestured for them to turn off the lights and they did. They heard the sound of Mia's car driving into the compound and hid themselves.Excitement was in the air as they waited for the two lovebirds to make their way into the house. They heard Mia's excited voice talking with Shawn, but she stopped the minute the door opened and what she met was obscure darkness.Mia's brows furrowed in confusion. Darcel called her that they were home, what was going on?“Where did everybody go? And why is everywhere so dark?” Shawn asked, his expression mirroring that of Mia.“I have no idea,” Mia sighed but then she caught a whiff of something in the air. “Is that cake I smell?” her face lit up. “Wait here, Shawn, I'll go turn on the lights.”She found a way to the switch and turned it on. Immediately the lights came on, the group jumped up and screamed “CONG

061. GEOFFREY CORP. “Dad, you know how critical this time is. You can’t just ask me to come to California out of the blue!” Liam snapped at his father over the phone, his face twisting in rage. His father—Reynold Geoffrey—switched the call to video call, his angry face popping up on the screen for Liam to see. “Look, Liam, it’s mandatory you come to this place right now. I know you want to get things done with Janette first, but she isn’t going anywhere. This is more important.” Liam scoffed. “Who says she isn’t going anywhere?” he asked, his tone hard. “I told you, didn’t I? I told you she’s been getting swayed by her ex-husband lately. If I leave, I’m only giving him the chance to come closer to her and win her back.” Reynold pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. “You know nothing, do you? Did I make a mistake by making you to handle my company?” he asked and Liam lowered his head. “With the weight of what he did to her in the past, she would never forgive him. And if she’s
Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart Chapter 060 ~ First step
060. Lucas paced in his office, massaging his chin as he thought about Janette’s words. “Everybody deserves a second chance.” he muttered and a smile broke out on his face. He knew exactly what to do. Alan walked into his office that moment, beaming with smiles. “Good day, sir.” he said and Lucas turned, his brows raising in question. “Since when do you ever greet me this way, Alan?” he asked, suspicion lacing his tone. Alan gasped. “Are you calling me disrespectful now? For goodness’ sake, I am your assistant.” Lucas responded with an eye roll. “Why are you so excited, Alan?” he asked, taking a seat. Alan cleared his throat and sat down as well. “I made up with Rosa,” he said but Lucas wore an expressionless face, though Alan could swear he saw a hint of a smile on his face. “Aren’t you happy for me?” “Of course I am,” Lucas responded. “I just wanted to be sure you aren’t pulling one of your numerous pranks on me,” Alan chuckled. “I’m being for real this time,” he said and Lu
