"What?" Briony's eyes widened. Her mouth hung open, struggling to decide what to say. "But .... Why .... How?"

Hearing his father's decision, Andrew jumped and clenched his fists. "Hooray! Ouch .... I forgot my arm was in a cast," he muttered spontaneously.

Alex finally pulled away from Briony. He approached his son, bending down to check, "Are you okay?"

"It hurts a little, but it's okay. The doctor said that's what a cast is for. To prevent movement. And most importantly, I have a new nanny."

    "What?" Briony's eyes widened. Her mouth hung open, struggling to decide what to say. "But .... Why .... How?"Hearing his father's decision, Andrew jumped and clenched his fists. "Hooray! Ouch .... I forgot my arm was in a cast," he muttered spontaneously.Alex finally pulled away from Briony. He approached his son, bending down to check, "Are you okay?""It hurts a little, but it's okay. The doctor said that's what a cast is for. To prevent movement. And most importantly, I have a new nanny.""What? Wait," Briony blinked. "I haven't agreed to that yet.""But Daddy and I have already agreed. That means you lost the vote. You have to be my nanny," Andrew nodded proudly."But—""Would you rather go to jail?" Alex interrupted, raising an eyebrow.Briony was stunned again. She couldn't understand Alex's way of thinking. "Don't you dislike me? You say I'm mean. Why do you let me take care of your son?" she asked vaguely.Alex raised the corners of his lips. "To make you understand that yo

  • Go to Hell, Ex! I Deserve Someone Better than You   7. A New Nanny

    Briony was running as fast as she could, but Alex still managed to catch up. When he grabbed her wrist, she gasped."Alex? What are you doing? Didn't we agree not to deal with each other anymore?" Briony asked in a whisper. She didn't want to cause a scene in the hospital."Don't play dumb. Come with me!"Briony's eyes widened as Alex pulled her toward the emergency stairs. She tried to resist without making a scene, but to no avail. As soon as they entered the emergency stairs, Alex put her hands behind her waist and pushed her against the wall. Briony winced as her cheek hit the concrete."Hey, why are you holding me like this? Do you think I'm a criminal?" Briony protested, putting up a fight. Unfortunately, Alex was too strong. She remained helpless."Aren't you a criminal? You hit my son with your car and broke his arm! Is that revenge for me breaking your laptop?" Alex pressed Briony closer to the wall. He didn't care if Briony started to whimper."No! I didn't even know Andrew

  • Go to Hell, Ex! I Deserve Someone Better than You   6. Alex's Son

    "Andrew," Alex called as he ran towards his son.Seeing his father arrive, Andrew's eyes lit up. "Daddy?" The boy ran along, closing the distance."Daddy ...." He hugged Alex with a beaming smile, forgetting that one of his arms was in a cast. Only when the pain hit him did he manage to control his strength, so he wouldn't hug him too tightly. "Why didn't you come earlier? You were supposed to accompany me to the doctor."Alex caressed his son's hair, then bent his knees. Now at eye level, he could finally see Andrew's swollen eyes. He could guess how long his son had been crying."Sorry, Hero. I had an important meeting earlier. My phone was on silent. I was very shocked when I heard the news about you. What happened? Why is your arm ... in a cast like this? Does it still hurt?"Andrew shook his head. "Not anymore. But in that room, I was in pain. The doctor said my bone had shifted. When he put it back in place, it made a really loud crack. I had to grit my teeth to hold back the pa

  • Go to Hell, Ex! I Deserve Someone Better than You   5. Briony's Suspicion

    Upon arriving at the doctor's office, Andrew refused to let Mrs. Powell in. He only wanted Briony to accompany him.Briony reluctantly complied. She accompanied Andrew to see the doctor. During the examination and treatment, she couldn't focus. She was busy studying Andrew's face, her mind constantly assessing his resemblance to Alex."What should I do if Andrew really is Alex's son? He'll kill me if he finds out I broke his son's arm. Should I just run away? But what if he isn't? Should I investigate Andrew's parents first before making a decision?" Briony thought to herself, over and over. Even after Andrew's arm was cast, she was still wondering. That's why she didn't realize when Andrew talked to her."Briony, look at my arm! Isn't it so cool? I look like a robot. The doctor said that I can put my favorite stickers on it later," Andrew said, rubbing the cast with his other hand. Getting no answer, he looked up again. "Briony?"Briony blinked. "Yes?"Andrew pursed his lips. "Why di

  • Go to Hell, Ex! I Deserve Someone Better than You   4. Take Responsibility

    Briony grimaced. She stared at the kid on the asphalt. The boy seemed to have regained consciousness. He began to cry."Isn't his condition vulnerable? I mean, we'd better call an ambulance," Briony was worried that the child's arm would get worse if moved."You refuse to take responsibility?" the middle-aged woman raised her tone."It's not like that. It's just ...." Briony was at a loss for how to explain it. On the one hand, she did feel guilty."Just take the child to the hospital, Miss. It would be a shame to leave him here any longer. He's already in so much pain," said a young woman kneeling near the kid.After a brief deliberation, Briony finally agreed. Several people worked together to get the child into her car. Thanks to their help, Briony was able to quickly get him and his nanny to the hospital.There, the poor boy was immediately taken to the X-ray examination room. Because his nanny had to take care of the registration, Briony was forced to accompany him inside. She fe

    Holding back the pain, Alex sneered. "You expect me to believe it? Your dream boyfriend is fictional, right?"Briony's breath hitched. Her fists clenched. "Of course he's real. Wait until you meet him. You'll be amazed. He's so much better than you," Briony tried to sound convincing.Alex straightened up with a sarcastic laugh. "You're still a braggart, I see. No great guy would ever want you, Briony. Besides, what's so hard about admitting you still want me?""I didn't want you!" Briony retorted emphatically."Then delete your book immediately! I don't want my wife to become the object of your readers' slander."Briony's head jerked back again. "You're hiding behind Caro's name? Is it so hard to admit you were offended by my book? You're still a coward, apparently."Alex took a deep breath. His shoulders began to tremble. His eyes were streaked with red. "Fine. If you don't want to do it, I'll do it," he decided.Alex walked quickly to the table. Briony gasped when she saw her laptop
