Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 74
Lessie's POV“What did you just say?” Ella gasped, her eyes wide in shock.I looked down but gave a small nod. “It’s true. Freddie blacklisted my name,” I said, tears filling my eyes.“Calm down first. Tell me everything from the beginning,” she said, scooting closer and patting my shoulder gently. “The last time we talked about Freddie, you said he was done bothering you. So where is all this coming from?”I swallowed hard before replying. “Remember the day before yesterday, when I saw you all outside heading out to have fun? That same day, I went to Freddie’s office. We argued, and that’s what led to all this.”Ella blinked slowly. She still looked confused.“Okay, calm down and explain it properly,” she said, still patting me. “Why did you go to Freddie’s office in the first place? And how did it lead to a fight?”Her questions reminded me I’d skipped a big part of the story. I hadn’t even told her what happened at the hotel, that Freddie showed up out of nowhere and I had to hide

Lessie's POV She cleared her throat and quickly straightened up.“What’s funny?” she snapped. “Seriously, tell me what’s going on. Why were you gasping for breath when you came in?”I finally spoke. “It’s Benjamin.”“Benjamin?” Ella raised an eyebrow. “What about him?”She didn’t look surprised by the name. Even though she hadn’t met him before as he lives in another city, I talked about him all the time. He was my closest friend back there.“First, let me sit down,” I said, not in a rush as I lowered myself onto the couch.“No, wait, get me some water first. My throat feels dry.”Thankfully, Ella didn’t ask questions. She quickly went to get the water.“Here, drink this,” she said, handing it over. I drank it all at once.Once I looked calmer, she gave me a curious look.I knew what she was thinking, so I didn’t waste time. “Benjamin kissed me.”“What?” Her eyes lit up with excitement.“Yes. He kissed me,” I said, rubbing my throat.“You mean, like, he really kissed you? Wow!” Her e

Lessie's POV “Whatever,” Benjamin muttered and focused on driving.He didn’t look at me again, and I tried to ignore the small wave of guilt I felt. It wasn’t my fault, how was I supposed to know he’d take my words seriously?Just when I thought the day had already gone great, Benjamin suddenly made a U-turn and left the expressway.I couldn’t help but be curious.“Where are you going now?” I asked.“Shhh.” He gently placed a finger on my lips.Well, that shut me up.Besides, I could already tell where we were headed, it wasn’t hard to guess. So I stayed quiet, though I still wondered why he was taking us there.When he parked, he got out and opened the door for me. I stepped out carefully, still puzzled.I couldn’t hold my curiosity any longer. “Why are we here?”He had parked right in front of a beach.“To visit the beach, of course. Isn’t it obvious?” he said with a smirk.I gave Ben a sharp look. “I’m not blind, you know. I can clearly see we’re at the beach. But why are we here?
Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 71
Freddie's POV I didn’t say anything, so Zenith paused before asking, “Boss, are you really going to let them be?”“Hmm, maybe. What else can I do?”Zenith frowned at my reply and quickly spoke up. “You’re not going to do anything after what I told you? I probably didn’t explain it properly. Even if they look like a fake couple now, what if it becomes real later?”His words made my eyes darken. I knew Zenith cared and wanted me to get Lessie back, but he could be seriously irritating at times. Hadn’t I already told him not to make things worse?Still, I didn’t lash out. This time, I could tell Zenith wasn’t trying to provoke me. He was just genuinely worried and nervous.“You don’t need to worry,” I said, letting out a short snort. “Do you really think I’ll just sit back and do nothing?”Zenith blinked, then finally processed my words. “Oh, good. That’s a relief,” he said, relaxing a little.“I need Benjamin’s phone number,” I said, standing up. “Bring it to my office.”Zenith nodded

Freddie’s POV“What did you just say?”At the top of the building, in a large meeting room, my voice echoed, sharp and loud.I was furious.“I said I saw ma’am an hour ago,” Zenith repeated. The tension in the room instantly rose.Just moments ago, I was in a meeting with the board when I noticed Zenith looking disturbed. I paused everything and told them to leave, needing to know what was wrong.“She was with that man, Benjamin,” he said.Each word he spoke made my jaw clench tighter.My chest rose and fell rapidly. “How do you know this?” I asked, eyeing him.Yesterday, I had given him a task to help the external department. He should’ve been too busy to be wandering around.“Boss, remember you told me to join the external team?” he said, clearly sweating.Good. He should sweat. Bringing me this kind of irritating news. Not even useful, just the kind that would raise my blood pressure.“So?” I said, narrowing my eyes.“Well, based on that, we were out inspecting one of our projects,

Benjamin's POV“He told me,” she said, sounding tired.“He told you?” I asked. “Tell me everything.”She explained how she left Ella’s house and went to see him at the office. I listened closely. While she shared the key details, I could tell she left some parts out, but I didn’t press her. Lessie was smart. She wouldn’t skip the important parts.“So it’s really true?” I asked again, sighing deeply. The weight of her words felt like a full year’s worth of stress landing on me at once.“Mm.” She nodded. “I thought he was just bluffing, but when I got home and tried booking a flight, I realized I was blacklisted.”“You don’t have to worry about that,” I said. “Let’s talk about something else.”She looked so fragile right then. If I didn’t change the topic, she might cry.I hesitated, then asked, “Are James and Jasmine really his kids?”I clenched my hands under the table. I didn’t want to ask, but I had to know.“Yes, they’re his children,” she answered.I gave a stiff smile. “Oh.”Unde

Benjamin's POV He shook his head. “No idea, Mr. Benjamin.”My face fell. “Alright, thank you,” I muttered, about to end the call.But then he added something.“I probably shouldn’t say this,” he said carefully, “but if this Lessie person isn’t that important to you, you should keep your distance.”His words hit me like a wave.“If she isn’t that important,” he said…But Lessie was very important to me. I’d stake my life on that.I didn’t say what I was thinking. I pushed my thoughts aside and asked, “Why do you say that?” Even though I already had a good idea of what he would say next.“The person she offended is powerful,” Jack said, his voice a little shaky. “I didn’t mention this before, but it’s not just one senior person, several higher-ups have warned me to stay away or risk losing my job.”“Okay, thanks, Jack,” I said, turning back to my laptop. “Bye.”Jack wasn’t just someone I hired. He was also my friend and someone who worked with me professionally. I appreciated the warni

Lessie's POV He agreed, and I hung up. I didn’t want to tell him right away, I needed to confirm it for sure, even though I already knew.While waiting, I turned on the TV to distract myself.A few minutes later, Benjamin called back. I picked up, my heart thudding.“Lessie, you’ve been blacklisted!” His voice was full of disbelief. “I don’t get it. I tried different airlines. It’s the same everywhere!”I forced a laugh. “Pfft. Whatever. Let’s just forget it.”I had planned to tell him everything, maybe even ask for help. But now that the reality had hit me again, I just wanted to hide.“Forget it? How are you supposed to get back home? I’ll look into it. I’ll find out what happened and fix it.”“You don’t have to, Ben. I know who’s behind it. And honestly, I don’t think you can do anything.”“You know why you’re blacklisted?” he asked, clearly confused. “Is it a technical thing?”I sighed, my head pounding. Why couldn’t he just assume it was something else? It was sweet though, he t
Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 66
Lessie's POVThe next bus that comes, I’m taking it. No point in stressing over what I can’t change.When a bus finally arrived, I got in and took a seat by the window. I didn’t even bother looking outside. I closed my eyes and only opened them when the bus came to a stop.I got off and headed to Ella’s place. Just as I raised my hand to knock, I saw Ella and the others coming toward the door.Surprised, I asked, “What are you all doing here?”It didn’t feel like a coincidence. They showed up right before I could knock.“Oh, you’re back?” Ella said, clearly surprised. That told me they hadn’t expected me yet.“Yes, I’m back,” I replied, then noticed something. “You guys look all dressed up. Going somewhere?”I was just making a casual comment, not expecting an answer, until Jasmine spoke up.“How did Mommy know? Mommy's a magician!” she said sweetly.I laughed but didn’t correct her. “So you guys were planning to go out without me? Wow, you don’t love Mommy anymore?”“We wanted to wai
