Divorced By My Cold Husband, I Returned As A CEO Chapter 60
They left the school together, Elara’s hand on Daniel’s shoulder, guiding him to the car, neither of them speaking until they were home and the door was closed behind them and the house was quiet around them.This was not a conversation for a school office. This was not a conversation for the public.She sat him on her bed and sat across from him and looked at her son really looked at him, at the face she had been looking at for six years, at the eyes that had always known more than she gave them credit for and understood that the time for careful evasion was over.“Daniel.” She took a breath. “I owe you the truth. You’re older now. You can understand things that you couldn’t before.” Her voice caught on the next words before she could steady it. “And I can’t keep lying to you. It’s not fair. It has never been fair to you, and I’m sorry it took me this long to say it.”Daniel watched her with that grave, patient stillness. Waiting.Her voice broke.Never not once in six years had s

Elara walked back into her house feeling like the ground beneath her had quietly, permanently shifted.Everything was getting more complicated by the day. Every time she thought she’d found solid footing something to hold onto, a clear direction something else arrived to pull it loose. She was tired in a way that sleep didn’t fix.She climbed the stairs slowly.Daniel’s room she’d check on him first. He’d been quiet in the car on the way home from the burial, quieter than usual, and she’d told herself it was grief and exhaustion and the general weight of a day that had been too heavy for a child to carry.She pushed his door open gently.He wasn’t asleep.He was standing at the window.Still. Completely still, his small hands on the sill, his face turned toward the dark house across the road. Victor’s house. He was staring at it with an expression she had never seen on him before concentrated and far away at the same time, like someone trying to solve something that didn’t have enou

Elara stood her ground.Three steps from Victor’s front door, Serene between her and the path home, the night air cold and still around them. Neither of them moved for a moment — just looked at each other across the small distance, two women with a very long history and none of it good.Then Victor appeared in the doorway behind Elara.He took in the scene in a single glance.“What is she doing here?” Elara asked, her voice flat and controlled.“You have no right to ask me that,” Victor said quietly. Then, more gently: “What are you doing here, Elara?”She didn’t answer that. She didn’t need to.Victor’s eyes moved to Serene.“Serene.” His voice was exhausted — the specific exhaustion of a man who has had the longest day of his life and has nothing left for this. “Why don’t you move on? Why don’t you leave me alone? It’s been five years — six, maybe. We broke up. It’s finished. It has been finished for a very long time. Please go home.”Serene’s eyes moved between them — back and fort

The drive home was quiet.Elara kept her eyes on the road and her hands steady on the wheel, but her mind was elsewhere turning, circling, unable to settle. She glanced in the rearview mirror. Daniel was in the back seat sleeping .Victor had been the first to leave the burial. She had watched him go straight to his car, no lingering, no goodbyes beyond what courtesy required and something about the way he walked had stayed with her. The set of his shoulders. The particular stillness of a man carrying something he hasn’t yet allowed himself to put down.She pulled up to the house.She looked across at his window automatically, the way she’d started doing without meaning to. His house was completely dark. Every light off. No movement behind the glass.She pressed her lips together.Oh God.The maid took Daniel upstairs — he’d fallen asleep in the back seat, boneless and peaceful the way only children sleep — and Elara stood outside in the cool evening air and looked at the dark house

The BurialDaniel stood very still in the corridor.He replayed the word in his head turned it over carefully, the way he did with things he wasn’t sure he’d heard correctly.Father.Uncle Twin is my father.He shook his head slightly to himself. No. That couldn’t be right. Mum had always said his father died. She had said it simply and without much detail, the way adults say things they don’t want to be questioned about, and Daniel had accepted it the way children accept the things they’re given.But then father.He filed it away in the quiet place where he kept the things he wasn’t ready to think about yet. Tucked it somewhere safe. Decided, for now, not to know.He walked back into the hall and sat down quietly next to Julian.Julian looked down at him. “Are you okay, buddy?”Daniel nodded. Yes. He was okay. He was young but he wasn’t stupid, and sometimes being okay was simply a decision you made.Victor came back inside.The eyes of the room found him immediately the particular

Victor sat in the front row and stared at his father’s photograph.The relatives filled the seats around him, a steady stream of them passing by one by one, hands pressed to his shoulder, voices low and careful.“I’m so sorry for your loss.”“He was a wonderful man.”“Our deepest condolences, Victor.”He couldn’t respond to a single one of them. He could only stare at the photograph his father’s face, strong and composed even in a still image and let the words wash over him without landing.One thought moved through his mind, slow and relentless:I wish I had been a better person. Before. While there was still time. I wish. I just wish.“Why didn’t you wait for me?”He heard her voice before he saw her.Elara came through the entrance with Daniel at her side, already crying openly, without restraint, the honest grief of someone who had loved the old man completely and felt no need to hide it.“Father.” She spoke directly to the photograph, as naturally as if he were sitting right i
