•Juliet's POV•

Edward's voice echoed in my ear as I sat in the car, staring out the window. I hadn't expected him to react the way he did, and the fact that I told him about Jace being his son must've triggered all that.

"Uh, what was I thinking?" I mumbled to myself. "I shouldn't have gone to see him on my own. Now I feel awkward."

I squeezed the hand that was resting on my lap and took in a deep breath, exhaling slowly as if calming the storm within me. Luckily for me, Eric pulled into the driveway of the mansion and opened the door. I stepped out and walked hastily to the entrance.

Clutching my bag handle in my hand, I drowned in thoughts of what to do the next time I see Edward. Since I’d already told him I would reply later, I had to be sure that whatever response I gave wouldn't end up hurting me.

I walked into the living room and saw Vera and Jace sitting on the couch. Jace had a chocolate bar in his hand and was nibbling on it while he watched TV peacefully. Vera must’ve hear

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 144

    •Edward POV•"What are you doing here? You've not fully recovered, and you shouldn't have left the hospital," Juliet said, standing up from the lounge chair she was sitting. Her arms were crossed tightly over her chest, and her eyes flickered with concern despite the stern tone in her voice.I smiled softly. “I’m fine. I got tired of waiting for you to come check on me, so I decided to come myself. I couldn’t wait anymore. I had to see you.”She looked away quickly, her jaw tightening.“I know you’re worried about me, but I’m really fine,” I added gently, taking a step toward her.She shifted slightly, keeping a small distance between us. “You’re using this as an excuse, because I came to check on you today. What more do you want?” she scoffed, eyes darting toward the pool. “Just because I care about you because of the incident doesn’t mean you should take advantage of it.”“Is that what you think?” I said quietly. Her eyes didn’t meet mine, but I could tell she wasn’t truly angry. “T

    •Juliet POV•“What does that godforsaken woman want from you?” Vera asked as we made our way toward Theo’s parents front yard.“She wants me to make a statement claiming Raya is innocence, so the cops would release her.” I mumbled, still feeling the anger from earlier simmering inside me.“Jeez,” Vera gasped dramatically. “I knew, would come to you. First, she acted like you didn’t exist, and now that Raya’s in trouble, she wants you to help? What does she think you are? Her backup conscience?”“I don’t care anymore what she thinks,” I told her, glancing toward my mother as she walked soberly to her car. She turned to look at me one last time before getting in. “She doesn’t exist to me.”Vera sighed. “Yes, Jules. Just don’t think about it. She isn’t worth your time.”I looked down at Jace, who was quietly staring at me, his curious blue eyes full of questions. I smiled, brushing away the anger and sadness that had suddenly enveloped me. “Let’s go, baby.”I knocked on the brown door, o

    •Juliet’s POV•We fell into silence as Vera’s phone began to ring. She glanced at the screen before answering, her voice dropping to a more serious tone as she got up and walked toward the hallway.Pushing myself up from the couch, I grabbed my bag and made my way upstairs to my room. Once inside my room, I dropped my bag on the bed and headed straight for the bathroom. After a quick shower, I stepped out, wrapped in a towel, steam curling behind me as I walked over to my wardrobe and pulled out a brown flowery gown, slipping it on. It hugged my waist just right, light and breezy. I tied my hair up into a neat ponytail, before I made my way out of the room. By the time I got into the living room, Vera was curled up on the couch, a bowl of popcorn resting on her lap while she watched TV. She glanced over as she heard my steps, then grabbed the remote and lowered the volume. With a grin, she dropped the bowl onto the coffee table."Where are you heading looking this beautiful?" she as

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 140

    •Juliet POV•The rest of the week passed by in a flash, and before I knew it, it was Saturday. I rolled over to the other side of my bed and, surprisingly, touched someone. I raised my head for a better view, and saw that it was Jace.He must’ve left his room to come sleep in mine. A smile tugged at my lips as I pulled him close into a cuddle. While I watched him sleep, I could lie to myself or to anyone else, but I couldn’t deny the fact that whenever I stared at Jace, it felt like I was staring at Edward. They had almost everything in common, blue eyes, perfect curly hair, and even their body composure.Jace was like a smaller version of Edward, and the thought alone made me feel slightly uneasy. If I accepted Edward back into my life, would he do the same thing he did that tore us apart? What if I ended up regretting it?I was pulled out of my thoughts by the ringing of the alarm clock. I gently pulled my hand away from Jace and reached out to turn it off. When I turned back to him

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 139

    •Juliet POV•I took a deep breath the moment I got to the car and exhaled it softly. I didn’t know what I felt in there, but I was sure I didn’t want to feel it anymore. Edward would be alright, and things would go back to the way they used to be.I shook my head at the thought and looked at Jace as he scooped ice cream from a small white cup, his face lively and the bond he shared with Edward undeniable. Then there was Vera, suddenly on Edward's side.“Maybe I should leave things the way they are,” I mumbled to myself, trying to shake the thoughts running through my mind. I looked towards Eric. “Eric, what’s the schedule for today?”“I’ve informed the staff about the meeting and the finality of the project in Shanghai. That’s all. Is there anything you’d like to add to the schedule?” he asked, his gaze focused on the road as he drove.“No, that would do just fine,” I muttered, resting my back on the chair as I watched the view of the road blur past.The ride took a while, and Eric pu
