Lessie's POV

“Where are they?” Ella asked as soon as she saw me returning. I raised my hand to stop her. “Hold on, I’ll be right back.”

I walked over to the security guard and asked where the restroom was. He pointed in a direction, and I thanked him.

“They’re in the restroom,” I told the others. “Let’s go.”

We started walking to where the guard had pointed, but just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse today, I was proven wrong.

Seriously, what kind of day is this?

As we got closer to the restroom, I spotted two people, Collins and Lora. My heart skipped.

Freddie’s friends? What are they doing here?

I didn’t want them to see me, so I quickly stepped back and hid around the corner. Thankfully, the others noticed my sudden movement and quickly joined me.

“What are they doing here?” Ella whispered. She might not have known them well before, but after seeing them at the pool earlier, she recognized them now.

“I have no idea,” I muttered, shaking my head.

    Lessie’s POVAfter I sat down, Benjamin and Ella joined me on the bench.“It’s really fun out here, don’t you think?” Ella said softly.I nodded. She was right. I actually enjoyed watching everyone have fun. The only thing that ruined it a bit was seeing Freddie and his friends around.I rubbed my arms gently while watching the swimmers. I made sure not to glance at the kids' pool.Then, I heard Ella say something that made me frown.“Hey Lessie, aren’t you going to tell Benjamin already?” she asked casually.I looked at her, confused. “Tell him what?”I couldn’t think of anything I needed to tell Benjamin, except that we wouldn’t be going back to his city. Was that what Ella meant?My eyes widened in panic.Benjamin blinked, clearly puzzled. “What are you talking about?” he asked Ella, who was now staring at me.Then he turned to me with a questioning look.I shrugged. “Don’t mind Ella. It’s nothing important.”“But Ella said it was important,” he replied, not fully convinced.I caug

    Lessie’s POVI rolled my eyes inwardly. Of course I’m burning up, and it’s all because of you, Benjamin! Can’t you tell? I didn’t say it out loud, but I was fuming inside.I forced myself to take a deep breath.“I’m fine. It’s nothing,” I said in a quiet, shaky voice.I still couldn’t bring myself to look in Freddie’s direction, but I knew they were watching. I could feel their eyes on me like heat on my skin.That’s when Ella showed up. She’d changed out of her swimwear.“Oh wow, Benjamin, you’re already here!” she said with a sweet smile, clearly excited to see him. She didn’t seem to notice my mood until she came closer.I shot her a sharp look, not hiding my irritation at all.“What’s wrong, Lessie?” she asked, pretending to be clueless.Well, she probably wasn’t pretending. I knew she truly didn’t understand what was going on in my head, she’s not a mind reader after all. But still, she was the reason I was so upset.If she hadn’t invited Benjamin without telling me, none of this

    Lessie's POV They looked like they were having a conversation. I would have gone over if I saw any sign that Ella was uncomfortable, but she seemed fine, so I stayed calm.But that calm didn’t last long.When the man with her turned slightly, my heart skipped a beat.“What?” I gasped, quickly covering my mouth with my hand.“What is he doing here? And why is he with Ella?”It was Steve. Freddie’s close friend back then.I wasn’t mistaken, there was no way I could forget his face. I was certain it was him.I held my breath and tried to calm myself. The real problem wasn’t just that Steve was here, but who did he come with? I doubted he came alone. He was always hanging around with Freddie and the others.I scanned the pool area cautiously, and when my eyes landed on a nearby bench, I gasped again.I was right. He didn’t come alone.A short distance from me, I spotted Freddie, Collins, Lora, and Tyla. They were all sitting together, chatting and laughing like they always used to.Even

    Lessie’s POVElla laughed at my annoyed expression and continued showing off her swimsuit to the kids.“James, what do you think? Don’t I look good? I need compliments,” she said playfully.James just rolled his eyes and came to stand beside me.“Wow, James, you’re just like Lessie, no fun at all,” Ella teased.“Alright now, shouldn’t you all go swimming already?” I said, glancing at the pool, which had fewer people than when we first arrived.“Oh right!” Ella said, smacking her forehead. “I’ll be using that pool over there. It’s for adults.”I followed her gaze and saw the bigger pool, which had only adults in it. The other smaller ones were clearly for kids.“Okay, okay, go on,” I said, clearing my throat and waving them away.Ella paused and looked at me. “Why do I feel like you’re chasing us away?”Of course, I’m chasing you away! I thought to myself, but I didn’t say it out loud. If I did, Ella might just strangle me. Hehe.Truthfully, I just wanted a little time alone. The pools

    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,

    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.
