Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 78
Jasmine’s POVThe voice was too loud and proud for us to just ignore.When I turned to look, I saw a lady dressed in a shiny, flashy gown. At first, I didn’t want to pay her any attention, not until I spotted that same annoying staff man from earlier. He was running toward her like a loyal puppy, wagging his invisible tail.“Who are you?” the flashy lady asked, rolling her eyes as she looked at him.Still shameless, the staff guy gave a silly grin. “I work here. I can show you around.”“Why would I want someone dirty like you showing me anything? Back off!” she snapped, stepping away from him when his hand got too close.Honestly, I wanted to laugh so badly!“Miss, what do you mean?” the staff man said, forcing a smile that didn’t look real at all.“I said back off!” she repeated, stepping away again like he had some kind of disease.Gosh, how dumb could he be? I smacked my forehead in shame just watching him.“Go call your manager! Only your manager is good enough to show me around,”

Little Jasmine's POV “Wow!” I gasped as soon as I saw the mall.It was so big and fancy. Not just beautiful, more like rich-looking.I glanced at Nanny Adele, unsure. “Can we really go into this supermarket?”Mommy had taken us to nice malls before, but this one looked like it was for super rich people. I could tell just by looking at it.I looked over at James and saw he was staring at Nanny Adele too, wearing the same surprised look. That made me feel better. I wasn’t the only one who felt amazed.Nanny Adele lifted her chin proudly and shrugged. “Why not? As long as we can pay for what we want, we can go in.”I thought about what she said and nodded. Yeah, she’s right. We can afford it!But then I noticed James didn’t look too happy. He looked a little worried.“What’s wrong?” I asked.“Uh, nothing,” he said. “I’m just worried we’ll end up spending too much… all because I suggested the supermarket.” He bit his lower lip.I gently tapped his arm. “Don’t think like that. Nanny Adele

Lessie's POVThe next morning, I woke up to see Ella standing in front of the mirror, checking herself out.“Oh, you’re awake already,” she said softly when she noticed I had opened my eyes.“Mm,” I hummed while rubbing my eyes.“How do I look, Lessie?” she asked nervously.I rested my chin on my palm. “You look perfect. Go get that job, girl!” I gave her a little cheer with my elbow raised and smiled.“Thanks, babe.” She gave me a quick hug and rushed out.Nanny Adele had also woken up early, along with the kids. She said something about taking them out for a children’s concert. I wasn’t sure what kind of event it was exactly, but I agreed anyway.Now, I was alone in the house. Out of boredom, I grabbed my phone to browse the internet.After scrolling for a while, I got tired. There was no hot gist or interesting updates online. I even thought of chatting with Charlotte and the others, but none of them had replied yet.“They're probably busy with work,” I thought. It was work hours a

Lessie's POV I felt completely drained as I stared at the phone screen. Then I heard Ella’s voice.“It’s not the end of the world. I’ll just find another company,” she said with a shrug, trying to act like she was okay.But her words didn’t make me feel any better. In fact, I felt worse. I could see the pain behind her forced smile.How did her excitement disappear so quickly?Because the job she found was at one of Freddie’s subsidiary companies. Out of all the companies out there, it just had to be linked to him. Of course I knew a few of his businesses from when we were together.I looked at Ella and said softly, “I’m sorry, Ella.”She gave a small shrug. “Why are you sorry? It’s not your fault. I got too excited and didn’t even check the company name first.”“Besides, even if I applied, it’s not guaranteed I’d get the job,” she added quietly.At first, I thought she was just trying to comfort me. But when I thought about it, she was right. Seeing a job opening doesn’t mean you’ll

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?

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
Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 70
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,
