Sienna’s POV

Liam tasted a piece of meat, chewing slowly. He swallowed. Then took another bite. And another.

But not a single word left his lips. No “This is good.” No “Thank you.” Not even a simple, “Are you feeling better?”

I lowered my gaze, stabbing a small piece of chicken with my fork. My hand trembled. Not from hunger. But because… not one of them knew how hard I had fought today just to make it back.

Emily was busy laughing with Noah, helping him reach the sauce.

Noah laughed too, feeding her a tiny bite of soy-glazed chicken.

“Is it good, Auntie?” he asked eagerly.

“So delicious! Noah’s mommy is such a great cook,” she replied with a quick glance in my direction. Her smile was sweet, but… there was something in her eyes.

Something that said, “See? I’m the one he chooses now.”

I wanted to swallow it all— The food, the disappointment, the hurt. But my throat felt sealed shut. There was no taste left. Only bitterness slowly filling my mouth.

I tried to gulp, hoping i

  • Forgotten Wife: My Ex-Husband Regrets It After I Left    120

    Sienna’s POV The aroma of toast filled our small kitchen. I had woken up early, preparing a simple breakfast. Meanwhile, Liam, who was usually busy rushing to get ready for work, was sitting relaxed at the dining table, his shirt neatly trimmed, but his tie still splayed across his lap. Noah sat next to me, wiggling his legs as he chewed greedily.I watched them both and smiled faintly. Although many wounds still hadn't healed, at least I could see Noah eating happily, and Liam no longer drifting away.The aroma of warm coffee mixed with the scent of freshly toasted bread filled the morning air. I placed a plate of scrambled eggs on the table in front of Liam. He glanced at me, his lips curling slightly, then immediately began to spoon his breakfast. It was a simple smile, but it was enough to warm my chest."Noah, eat slowly. Don't sway your legs like that, you'll spill," I admonished gently.Noah just chuckled, his face smeared with strawbe

    Sienna’s POV Noah’s eyes immediately lit up, his face radiating with unconcealed joy. “Yeah! I’ll definitely show Daddy my dinosaur drawings!” I could only nod slightly, smiling along despite the faint pang in my chest. It was a simple promise, but I knew it meant a lot to Noah. Liam then turned to me, his voice low. “You don’t mind, do you, Sienna?” I shook my head. “As long as Noah is happy, I won’t mind.” Noah patted the table with his hand, excited. “Then, Daddy and Mommy will have to sit in the front row at my school play. Promise!” I chuckled, trying to hide the tears that were creeping up. “Yes, Mommy promises.” Liam smiled, looking at Noah warmly. “Daddy promises too.” The dinner table was once again filled with Noah’s soft laughter, the sound filling the previously silent house. I looked at him, then back at Liam. And for a moment, I felt a small light creepin

    Sienna’s POV I was just starting to drift off to sleep on the couch when the front door creaked open. I instinctively straightened, my heart beating faster. For a moment, I panicked, afraid it was just another bad dream arriving uninvited. But then a deep, familiar voice called out.“Sienna? Noah? I’m home.”I breathed a sigh of relief, but I still stood up. I unwrapped my knees and walked out of the living room toward the entrance.“Liam,” I whispered softly, “be quiet. Noah’s just gone to bed.”Liam stopped in his tracks and turned to me. His eyes looked tired, but there was a small glimmer in them, as if he had returned with something different this time. In his hands, I saw several large plastic bags, making me frown.I squinted, leaned closer, and pointed at the bags. “What are those?” I asked, half suspicious, half confused.Liam held the bags higher, his smile thin but unmistakable. “Fried chicken and pizza,” he repl

    Sienna’s POV As I walked, I noticed the other people. A father cradled his fussy daughter, a mother busily checking her shopping list on her phone. They all seemed preoccupied with their own worlds, but none of them seemed devastated. For a moment, I envied the calm. But then I realized, maybe they had their storms too, just invisible. Just like me.I paused in front of the fruit rack. Shiny red apples were neatly arranged, fresh green grapes glistening with dew. I picked a few and weighed them. Meanwhile, Noah was busy selecting oranges, his tiny hands putting them one by one into a plastic bag. I watched him, amazed at how seriously he was taking this small "task.""My son so smart," I said, patting his head. Noah smiled proudly, his cheeks slightly flushed.Noah took my hand as I stopped in front of the cereal counter. "Mommy," he called softly."Hm?" I turned my head, meeting his suddenly serious eyes."Are we really going to l

    Sienna’s POV We stopped a taxi. On the way, Noah leaned against my shoulder, his eyes nearly closed. I gently rubbed his back, letting him rest a bit in the middle of the noisy, congested streets.Behind the glass, the city continued as usual, people rushing, horns honking, street vendors shouting their wares. And in this taxi, I sat with the most precious part of my life, the reason I held on even though the world seemed to want to tear me apart time and time again.I took a deep breath. My head was still filled with Emily's voice, her challenging gaze, and words that slapped my ego and my old wounds. But I looked at Noah again, his breathing was steady, his lips slightly parted from exhaustion, and suddenly all the noise faded.Maybe it was true, my heart was still fragile. Maybe my decision yesterday, to go back to Liam, wasn't the wisest. But every time I look at Noah, I know that everything I do isn't just about a long-lost love. This is about

    Sienna’s POV Emily still sat across from me, calm, as if knowing that her words were enough to ignite the fire she desired. He didn't need to add anything more, because his silence was already proof of his superiority.Time passed slowly. The sound of Noah's laughter from afar, the fainter aroma of coffee, and the chill of the cafe chair beneath my body felt so real, so oppressive. Yet, amidst all of that, there was a small whisper in my heart that tried to fight back. A whisper that I was no longer the woman I used to be, easily shattered by someone else's sharp words. That I had been through more than words could ever say.I looked up, keeping my gaze steady despite the thousands of shards of pain trying to tear me apart from within. I wouldn't give him victory. I wouldn't let Emily dictate my course with her carefully prepared words."So, yes, Liam was confused for a moment. But from now on," she leaned forward, her tone like someone who had alrea
