055.

Janette dropped the cards and sprung to her feet. “I'll be right there.”

“What happened?” Lucas asked, his expression filled with worry.

“Sophia just called to tell me Ethan was hurt by a bully in school. She went to pick him up and saw that he had a bandage on his face. I gotta go!”

Aunt Maryanne gasped. “A bully? In kindergarten?”

Lucas was annoyed. “Let's go. I'll drive.” he said.

Janette shook his head. “There's no need for that. I can go by myself.” she tried to rush out but Lucas grabbed her wrist.

“Right now you're panicking. You aren't in the right state of mind and I can't let you go into that road driving, okay?”

Janette seemed to calm down a bit and nodded. She had no choice anyway. “Fine. Let's go.” she rushed out of the ward.

Aunt Maryanne gave Lucas a thumbs up before he rushed after Janette.

As they dashed out of the ward, Janette couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that gripped her heart. She was already envisioning the worst. Sophia had been vague on the phone,

    056.When they returned to the car, Fiona turned to Lucas with a smile on her face. “Thank you so much for helping Ethan and Amaya out. I'll leave with Amaya now,” she smiled softly at the little girl. “Amaya, say bye bye to Ethan now.”“Mommy, can I go home with Ethan? Mr. Lucas is around and he always gets us chocolates.” Amaya smiled cutely.Lucas drew in a breath. Unfortunately, he didn't get any chocolates today. Fiona quickly noticed and smiled. She had rushed here the minute she got a call from Sophia as well. She had asked Sophia to watch Amaya as well.“Oh, sweetie, let's go freshen up first. You'll come see Ethan after that, okay?” Amaya was shocked by how soft her mother sounded but she nodded with a smile. Fiona smiled at Lucas one more time before turning to leave but came face to face with Janette.Janette, who was initially shocked to see Fiona come, wondered if the woman had changed. “Fiona, didn't expect to see you here. I guess you aren't that hard hearted afterall.

    057.Liam made to walk to where Lucas stood but Janette blocked his path. “Don't, Liam,” she warned. “You don't have to start a fight as soon as you see him.”“Yeah, that's why I need to know what he is doing in our house. Technically, he doesn't belong here and isn't supposed to be here.” Liam complained.“Calm down,” Janette held his hand. “Lucas just helped me bring Ethan home from school, that's all.”“That's all?” Liam asked, his eyes narrowing at Lucas. “And I saw him holding your hand? And you didn't even bother saying anything about it.”Janette bit her lower lip. “It's not what you think it is,” she sighed. “You just got back and need rest. Don't bother yourself with this.”Lucas said nothing and just watched them. He wondered why Liam didn't ask about Ethan and just went straight to talking trash about him? He shrugged and decided to forget about it. That wasn't his cup of tea. Besides, Ethan was HIS son. Liam glared at Lucas. “Just get out of this place. Nobody wants to se

    058.A week later…Janette got a call from the school and was asked to come for an important meeting. She had to quickly rush there, worried that something might have happened to Ethan or Amaya again. Were they bullied by a new student? Did Ethan get his allergies again? As she stepped out of her car and rushed to the teacher’s office, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of worry that washed over her. But when she entered and saw Bella seated on the chair with Lucas beside her, she is sure something was definitely wrong. Janette paused, her eyes darting from Bella to Lucas. What were they doing here? And why the heck was she called here? If it was about how her son bullied Lucas, she wasn’t in the mood for all that, and wasn’t going to stand for anything they were going to say today.Her expression hardened as her eyes met with that of Bella’s. “What is going on here?” she asked flatly.“Oh, Ms. Wayne, you made it,” Mrs. Yuna smiled as she walked into the office. “I’m so glad you cam

    059.Rosa sat in the cafeteria, having lunch when Alan walked in. Her eyes widened when she saw that he was looking around, and she quickly picked up a menu and covered her face with it. “What is he doing here?” she muttered to herself and peeped a bit.Alan was sure whoever told him she was in the cafeteria wouldn’t lie to him. When he turned and saw a lady covering her face with a menu, he suspected she might be the one. His eyes darted to her black colored nails and he knew instantly.“Rosa,” he smiled to himself and walked up to her. Rosa gasped when he took a seat and took the menu from her. “Seriously?” she rolled her eyes.“I should be the one asking that,” Alan said, dropping the menu on the table. “You are practically ignoring me.”Rosa scoffed. “Ignoring you? No!” she waved it off with an awkward chuckle.Alan grinned and leaned forward, causing her to lean back. “After that night, I’ve been wanting to talk to you. You bounce my calls, and decline seeing me,” he said, his

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

    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

Lucas sighed and took his seat. “What do you mean?” Alan leaned forward, worry etched on his face. “If you and Janette get back together, do you think Bella will just let you be?” he asked and Lucas raised an eyebrow as he thought about it. “We have no idea what she wants or why she came back. But don’t you think she might be waiting to separate you two again?” “That’s not possible,” Lucas answered. “She already has a son. That means she’s married.” “Then why does she keep coming here?” Alan asked and Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose. “Don’t you find it suspicious? If she’s married, she wouldn’t be coming here to remind you about the past.” “I thought she was only trying to make me feel bad for losing Janette.” “But what if there are ulterior motives?” Alan asked and Lucas sighed. “I didn’t want to say this before but you have to be prepared. Have you seen her husband anywhere?” “How’s that supposed to

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

  • 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

    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

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

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
