Freddie's POV

Just like I thought, Lessie shrugged. It was clear she didn’t take my words seriously.

But this time, I wasn’t upset. I already knew she’d react like this.

“I know you won’t believe anything I say. So, what do you want me to do now?”

Before she could answer, I cut her off. “You want me out of your life for good, right?”

Lessie was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. “Yes.”

“Never,” I said through clenched teeth. “You see me as dirty, but one day, I’ll make you see a different side of me.”

She let out a breath and rubbed her throat like she had a headache. “To hell with your promises. Don’t you get it? I won’t change my mind no matter what you do.”

“I don’t get it. And even if I do, I won’t accept it,” I said, standing firm.

“You’re insane, Freddie,” she muttered, clearly exhausted.

“I know,” I smiled as if her words meant nothing. “I’m crazy in love with you.”

“Ugh, get lost!” Lessie rolled her eyes.

“I can see you still want to be stubborn, but I won’t waste my tim

    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

    Freddie's POV“I came to bring this,” the secretary said softly.She was holding a tray of refreshments.I scoffed. “At this time? When the guest has already left? Get out of here!”I needed someone to take my anger out on, and she just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.Although now that I thought about it, even if she had come earlier, Lessie probably wouldn’t have touched anything. She came in with nothing but rage.I let out a deep sigh, trying to calm myself down. Then I grabbed the office phone.“Boss, you called?” It was the same secretary I just sent out.“Call Zenith over,” I said and ended the call.Within a minute, Zenith burst into the office, out of breath.I raised an eyebrow. “Why are you panting like that?”“I ran the moment I saw ma’am downstairs,” he said, grinning with excitement and curiosity.Excitement? Curiosity? What was that about?I frowned. “And so?”He didn’t seem to get my tone. “So you could tell me how it went with ma’am! You must be re

    Freddie's POVHe turned to Lessie. “Miss Lessie, please have a seat.”Then he dashed out like something was chasing him.Once the door closed, I kept pretending to work, ignoring the fact that she was now seated in front of me.I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye. She sat quietly, saying nothing.What was she doing? Why wasn’t she talking?Since she seemed in no rush, I focused back on my files. Surprisingly, in the time she’d been sitting there, I managed to finish four files.I didn’t know if it was because she was here, but something felt different. She’d been messing with my head for a while now, and I couldn’t even focus at work because all I kept thinking about was how she hurt me.Just when I thought I’d finally gotten into a rhythm and could finish some of the files, I heard Lessie’s voice.Normally, I shomuld be glad to hear her speak. But no, I wasn’t. Her tone was sharp and annoyed.“Aren’t you going to say something?” she asked.I looked up, confused. “What do you

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 62

    Freddie's POVAt the office~“Boss, you haven’t even started on these yet?” Zenith’s voice trembled.He was holding a stack of documents, staring at the desk already piled with files.I didn’t respond. I stood silently by the large window, staring out at the buildings far below.On the outside, I looked calm, but inside, my emotions were raging.“Why? Why? Why?” I whispered under my breath.I’d been repeating that word nonstop. I was sure Zenith was silently cursing me by now, frustrated that I wouldn’t stop.“Boss, please… this has to stop,” Zenith said, his voice filled with concern.I finally turned away from the window, but I didn’t look at him. My eyes went straight to the desk covered with paperwork.Then, without warning, I swiped everything off the desk, sending the files crashing to the floor.“Why do you keep making me lose my mind, Lessie? LESSIE, WHY?!” I shouted, breathless, eyes burning red with anger.“You ignore my pleas… you reject everything I offer… and it’s driving

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 61

    Lessie's POV I was just as surprised. James usually stayed quiet and distant around people he wasn’t close to, especially Ella. None of us saw that coming.“Mm.” James nodded shyly, then looked away.“Hehe,” Ella giggled, “James, do you care about me?”James didn’t reply this time. He quietly went back to his seat and ignored everyone’s stares.“Come on, James, answer me,” Ella said, not giving up. She wasn’t upset about being ignored; instead, she kept trying.I knew James wasn’t going to respond, but I didn’t stop her either. I didn’t want to ruin her mood.Just a little while ago, she had been crying. Now she was smiling—thanks to James.As expected, James stayed silent, but Ella still didn’t quit. She walked to his seat and kept asking over and over again.I looked at them briefly before turning my attention back to my food. Jasmine and Nanny Adele also returned to their meals.Luckily, by the time I finished eating, Ella had stopped bugging James. She was finally breathing calml

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 60

    Lessie's POV Jasmine sneered at James before returning to her seat, and he quietly went back to watching TV. I smiled to myself at how dramatic they both were.While they were focused on the screen, I turned to Nanny Adele. “We’ll be sleeping here tonight.”“Oh, okay,” she nodded, then greeted Ella. “Hello, Miss Ella.”“Hi, Nanny Adele,” Ella replied warmly.“This is the first time I’m seeing you,” she added. “You look really gentle.”To my surprise, I noticed Nanny Adele blushing. Was I seeing things? I blinked, but nope—she really was blushing.“You look so pretty too, just like ma’am,” Nanny Adele said.I knew she was being honest because Ella truly is beautiful.“Aww, thank you,” Ella said. She didn’t blush, though. Clearly, she was used to compliments like that.“Feel at home, okay? This is also Lessie’s house,” Ella added. “She told you, right?” Her voice carried a bit of excitement.“Yes, I know. You and ma’am are like sisters,” Nanny Adele replied.Ella blushed this time. “I

    Lessie's POV “Why not?” Jasmine asked with a sniff.“Because we can all look for him together. I may not know where he is, but we can search for him,” Ella said, smiling at the idea.Jasmine and James looked at each other, silently passing a message.“How will we find him?” James asked curiously.“Hmm… we’ll have to figure that out,” Ella replied with a shrug.Then James said something that caught Ella completely off guard.“Our dad came yesterday.”“What?” Ella looked shocked again.I sighed. Poor Ella, she was really getting hit with a lot today. First, finding out the kids knew they had a father, and now this? That their dad had already visited? It was a lot to take in.“Aunt Ella, are you okay?” Jasmine asked, looking concerned.Ella took a deep breath and nodded. “I’m fine. But what do you mean he came yesterday?”“At Uncle Ben’s place, where we stayed last night,” Jasmine explained. “When someone knocked, our nanny rushed us into the bathroom, so we didn’t see anything. But we
