Freddie's POV

As soon as Benjamin walked out, I went over and shut the door.

I was beyond angry.

Who does he think he is? Some kind of hero coming to save the poor damsel? Hmph!

Honestly, I felt like I didn’t yell enough. I should’ve made it very clear, Lessie is mine, and no one can take her from me that easily.

I took a deep breath and walked back to my desk. My phone was still there, and I had recorded the last part of my conversation with Benjamin.

“Hmph,” I muttered as I saved the recording and sent it to someone.

After that, I got back to work.

Evening came and the sky started to get dark. I finally took a break to eat. I walked to the small couch in my office where my dinner had been placed on a table in front of it. Once I finished eating, I went over to the window. I’ve always liked looking out from the top floor, it gave me a clear view of the buildings and distant mountains.

Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up.

“Hello, Mom,” I greeted calmly.

But she snapped right away

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 88

    Lessie's POVI gasped in surprise, and so did everyone else.“Nanny, you have a man?” Jasmine asked in her innocent voice.Her blunt question made nanny Adele blush deeply. Her face turned as red as a tomato.James cleared his throat awkwardly.Honestly, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t shocked. Nanny Adele has a fiancé? I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend!At the same time, I felt a bit guilty. If she hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve never known. It wasn’t her fault. I should’ve taken the time to ask her about her personal life. Still, I smiled warmly at her.“I wish you and your fiancé all the best.”“Thank you, ma’am,” she said, her voice breaking a little. “I’m going to miss you all so much. If I get the chance, I’ll come visit.”“We’ll miss you too, Nanny,” Jasmine and James said together.“I’ll miss you even more, my prince and princess,” she said as she bent down and kissed their cheeks.Even Ella, who hadn’t been particularly close to her, felt emotional. “I’ll miss you too,

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 87

    Lessie’s POVI remembered that Ella went for her interview the same day the kids followed Nanny Adele to the market.It was also the same day Benjamin visited.“It went well. They said they’d get back to me within a week,” Ella said.“Oh, that’s good news,” I smiled at her.We all sat together and chatted as the day went by. Two days later, something unexpected happened.I was in the kitchen when I suddenly heard Ella scream. Her voice startled me, and I rushed out, worried something was wrong.But when I saw her excited face, I relaxed. The kids, who had been playing in their room, also came out.“Aunt Ella, what’s the matter?” Jasmine asked, frowning.She clearly didn’t like that Ella interrupted her playtime. And if Ella didn’t give a good reason for her scream, Jasmine would probably stay upset.Even I was waiting to hear what the big deal was. I had left my cooking to come check, still holding the pan in my hand. If she didn’t say something important, I was ready to hit her light

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 86

    Freddie’s POVI was just as surprised.Collins, who was the last to come out, said, “So, you guys didn’t notice. I knew it was late, that’s why I suggested we stop playing. But both of you were too focused on winning.”I wiped the surprised look off my face and scoffed. “Don’t act like we were the only ones into the game. You were just as hooked.”“Alright, alright, I admit it,” Collins nodded, though it didn’t seem like he meant it. “Anyway, it’s already night. Let’s go clubbing.”“Sounds good.” I nodded without thinking much about it.I couldn’t even remember the last time I went to a club. Tonight felt like the right time—I needed something to take my mind off things.“Let’s meet at the usual spot,” Collins said, pulling out his phone and typing something we couldn’t see.I knew he was sending us the club’s location.Just like that, we split up and drove our separate cars. When I arrived, only Steve was there. I had just stepped out of my car when Collins pulled up too. He got out,

    Freddie's POV“Oh, it’s okay, Senior Freddie,” Dave replied with a smile. He didn’t seem upset at all. In fact, he looked kind of starstruck. “I’ve always looked up to you since our school days. I was just one class below you guys.”I nodded, feeling a bit uncomfortable by how excited he seemed.“Really, I’ve been following all the news about you since you left school. I wanted to know everything you were up to.”“Oh, really? Thanks,” I said with an awkward smile.“That’s enough, Dave. Freddie already gets how much you admire him,” Steve said, pulling Dave away a bit.I gave Steve a grateful look. Then I turned to Dave more seriously. Earlier, Collins had mentioned that Dave had something important to share, surely, it wasn’t just all this fan talk, right? That would be weird.“Dave, you were about to tell us what you came for?” Collins reminded him.“Oh yes, right,” Dave said, snapping out of it. “Actually, it’s about the upcoming school reunion next month. I heard some people from y

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 84

    Freddie’s POVOh God, I swear I’m going to lose my mind soon. What kind of madness is this?Frustrated, I snapped. “Lessie wants to use me for money? She’s trying to crawl back into my life? I wish that was true!” I yelled.Both of them looked shocked.“What did you just say?” my mom asked.I didn’t care about their reactions.“Yes, that’s what you think, right? That Lessie desperately wants me? I wish she did. But sadly, that’s not the case. I’ve been begging her to come back to me, but she refuses!”They were both too stunned to speak. I could tell they were still trying to make sense of what I just said.I didn’t really care about Judie’s reaction. What mattered was whether Mom would finally get the message and stop this nonsense.But my hope shattered when she suddenly burst out laughing.Her laughter was loud and ridiculous. It only made me more frustrated.“What’s funny?” I asked, irritated, when she didn’t stop.“Everything you said is just funny,” she said, still laughing.I w

    Freddie's POV I pushed the thoughts aside for now. Holding my phone, I sat down on the couch.I had nothing else to do, so I started scrolling through some daily economic news.A few minutes in, I heard loud laughter coming from the entrance. It was clear someone was heading in.I slipped my phone into my pocket and looked toward the door. At first, I was about to say something casual, until I saw who walked in next.My face immediately turned cold when I saw my mom and Judie walking in together, laughing like close friends.“Mom, what’s she doing here?” I asked straight to the point.My mom didn’t even look at me. She just smiled at Judie. “Go ahead and sit down, dear. I’ll be back in a minute, I need to change clothes.”“Mom—” I tried to stop her, but she had already left the living room, leaving me alone with Judie.Annoyed, I looked away and didn’t even spare Judie a glance. I wasn’t about to argue with her, I’d rather direct that energy to the one who brought her here.Judie, of

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 81

    Jasmine’s POVJudie looked really frustrated. No matter how much she tried to explain, no one listened. It was like she was talking to a wall.“Fine, forget it!” she snapped, giving up on the crowd. She turned to the manager with a smug look.“You should do something. It’s your store, after all.”I rolled my eyes. She suddenly started acting all high and mighty just because she thought the manager would take her side.“Pfft. Coward,” I muttered under my breath. She didn’t act that bold when the crowd was on her case. But now that she saw someone she thought she could boss around, her pride came back.The manager looked nervous.“Miss Judie, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I can’t risk upsetting all these people.”“Why not?!” Judie’s face went pale.“Some of them are powerful or wealthy. I could get into trouble,” he said in a careful tone.Judie blinked in shock, then glanced around the crowd again.She started noticing what the manager was talking about. Some of the people re

  • Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 80

    Jasmine's POV I pretended not to notice why the flashy woman suddenly got upset and kept talking.“Auntie, I’m still waiting,” I said sweetly. “Don’t keep little Jasmine waiting. I want to know what makeup you’re using!”I stomped my feet and pouted like a little kid.“Shut up, you brat!” she shouted.“I won’t!” I shouted back. “I want to be as pretty as you! Tell me your secret!”I knew exactly what I was doing. My words made it sound like she was only pretty because of her makeup, even though I could tell at a glance she was naturally beautiful. She should have known I didn’t mean it like that… but I said it in a way that pushed her buttons on purpose. Hehe.Before I knew it, she was right in front of me, face full of rage. And then, bam! She shoved me hard.“You little devil! How can your mouth be this nasty at such a young age? I even bought you snacks and this is how you act? Ungrateful girl!”After that, I didn’t say a word. I just scrunched up my face.Anyone who saw me could
