Lessie's POV

We were just talking about changing rooms, but suddenly, he brought up something completely different.

“I mean, you keep turning down my help, so I have to ask—what do you really think of me? Do I even matter to you? Is that why you always hesitate before accepting anything from me?” he said, frowning.

I was speechless. The kids were watching us, and I wanted him to stop talking, but he seemed like a different person entirely.

Matter to me? What?

“You ignore me a lot. Before we got to the room, I asked you something in the car and you didn’t say a word. I feel like you’re hiding things from me. I’ve tried to be patient, thinking maybe you’re not in the mood to talk, but now I get it. It’s because you don’t see me as someone important,” he added.

Still, I had nothing to say. My mouth opened but closed again. He looked like a hurt child.

“Can you please calm down?” I finally said quietly.

Why was he reacting like this? Did he really think I saw him as a stranger? I guess i

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 121

    Lessie's POV The next morning, Ella was the first to get up. She had a big smile on her face, and I could tell she was really looking forward to her first day at work. Yes, she was starting her new job today.Since the day she got the job offer, she’d been so happy and full of laughter. Now the day had finally come for her to start working at a different company for the first time.“Aunt Ella, good luck,” James said in his calm voice.James had returned to his normal self since last night, so I wasn’t surprised to see him acting so fine.“Thank you, my baby boy,” Ella replied cheerfully, but then she suddenly stopped herself.“Oh no, I’m sorry,” she quickly said to James.Of course, she had called him “baby boy,” forgetting that James didn’t like being called that. And just like I expected, when I turned to him, he was already frowning.“Whatever,” he muttered, though he didn’t say anything too harsh.Then Jasmine popped up in front of Ella. “Fighting!” she said with a grin, raising

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 120

    Lessie's POVStill, about the punishment I said I’d give the kids, I haven’t changed my mind. I’m still standing by it.Lately, they’d been acting out in ways that I couldn’t just ignore anymore, and I knew I needed to set things straight.Later that day, when Ella came back home, the kids immediately surrounded her. Even though James had told Ella not to get him anything from the market, she still brought him a gift.She didn’t buy him clothes like he refused earlier, but instead, she got him a cap.James was clearly excited at first when Ella mentioned she got him something. But once she handed it over and he saw what it was, his smile disappeared and a frown took over his face.“Aunt Ella, where are the things you said you bought for me?” he asked, after checking through all the bags she brought back.Ella frowned in confusion. “Isn’t it this?” she pointed at the cap, which was already in plain sight.James frowned even more. “This is a baby’s cap,” he said flatly.Ella blinked, an

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 119

    Lessie's POV Ella had gone out earlier in the morning to shop for her office clothes. But I doubted she had gotten everything she needed yet, it hadn’t even been two full hours since she left the house.Just as I thought, Ella shook her head over the phone. “No, I’m not done shopping yet. I actually just arrived.”“Then why are you calling?” I asked, raising a brow. “You should be focusing on buying what you need, not calling home.”While speaking, I made sure to sound as casual as possible. I didn’t want Ella to pick up on anything strange in my voice.“I called so you can hand the phone over to the kids,” she said.“Why?” I asked, a bit confused.“Just pass it to them first,” she replied in a playful tone. “You can put it on speaker if you're curious.”She was being mysterious, and even though I couldn’t see her, I was sure she was sticking her tongue out at me like she always did when acting cheeky.I followed her instructions. Before giving the phone to the kids, I switched on th

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 118

    Lessie's POV “Mommy, please give us the phone,” Jasmine cried, her eyes already filled with tears.She looked guilty and was starting to shake a little.But even after scrolling through my phone for two minutes, I didn’t see anything that explained why they were so nervous.Then, as I kept scrolling, my hand accidentally tapped on the call log. To my surprise, Freddie’s name popped up at the top.Huh? When did I call Freddie? I didn’t remember calling him recently.I took a deep breath, still confused. Just to be sure, I opened the call history, and there it was. The most recent call had lasted almost twenty minutes.Not just that one, there were several calls to Freddie’s number.I continued to scroll, trying to understand what I'm seeing. One call could be maybe me forgetting I indeed called him, but more than seven calls on different days? That could never be a mistake, neither was it that I forgot. Sometimes, I make mistakes or forget this, but not something like this. Part of t

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 117

    Lessie's POV Letting them inside and starting a conversation would only drag things out and make me more curious, so I stopped Ella before she could run to them in relief.“Mommy,” Jasmine, who had been about to hug me, stepped back at my question.James looked calmer. He cleared his throat a little.“Where are you two coming from?” I asked again.Jasmine shrank back and hid behind James, who kept his head down.“You don’t want to talk, is that it?” I already knew they were avoiding the question, but I still had to ask.Ella had been so worried about them, and now that they were here acting all quiet, it just made me even more upset.“I’m waiting,” I said, trying to stay calm and not lose my temper.Then James finally looked up at me. “Mommy, we just got back and you’re already throwing questions at us without even asking if we’ve eaten.” He rubbed his stomach and frowned.I stared at him, speechless. Was this really James? A moment ago, he seemed so calm. I thought he was about to e

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 116

    Freddie’s POV While they were still talking in the corner, I suddenly heard Jasmine’s loud, upset voice.“Ugh, why didn’t you say something earlier? You knew we were supposed to be home, and now you're just reminding me?” she said angrily.“You looked like you were having fun, so I didn’t want to interrupt,” James replied.“But still…” Jasmine cried, clearly frustrated.I stood there, confused, not sure what was going on.I finally asked, “What’s going on?”Jasmine pouted and answered, “We’ve been here since morning, and now we’re late getting home. Mom is probably back already and must be worried.”I thought for a second, then said, “Don’t worry. I’ll have Zenith take you home and explain everything to your mom for you.”It seemed like a good idea. If Zenith talked to their mom, maybe she wouldn’t be upset. I smiled, expecting Jasmine to thank me or at least feel better. But after a moment, I looked up and saw she was frowning even more.“No, it’s fine. I don’t like that idea,” she
