Scarlett’s POV.

The morning I started my first official project as a designer, I told myself everything would be fine. I stood in front of the mirror longer than I normally would, smoothing the wrinkles from my blouse, adjusting my cardigan, checking that my makeup looked light but professional. I wanted to look confident, capable, and completely in control.

I knew with my due date drawing closer, I would likely be able to work for another six weeks, before I would be forced to take maternity leave.

I was already growing restless by the idea of taking off—but then again, I was sure that two babies would keep me busy.

I smiled slightly, placing a hand on my belly. I was looking forward to meeting them more and more each day.

Leon had offered to drive me, but I insisted on taking a company car that had been sent for me instead. I wanted to walk through the doors of that building on my own, not as the woman living in Leon Rosenthal’s house but as Scarlett Lemaire, a designer who was full

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 174

    Scarlett’s POV.The first thing I became aware of was the faint, rhythmic sound of breathing.It wasn’t mine.I stayed still for a while, keeping my eyes closed as I listened. The room was silent except for the soft hum of a monitor and the occasional creak of a chair shifting.When I finally opened my eyes, the sight waiting for me made my throat tighten.Leon sat beside the bed, his chair pulled close to the twins’ crib. His posture was slightly hunched, his back toward me, shoulders broad beneath the crisp hospital lighting. Even from behind, I could tell he was exhausted. His hair was messy, shirt sleeves rolled up, faint shadows under his eyes.But there was something soft in his stillness.His attention was fixed on the babies, his hand resting on the edge of the crib like he was standing guard over them.Then James stirred. A soft whimper turned into a sharp cry, and Leon was on his feet instantly. The movement was automatic and almost even practiced, like he’d been doing it fo

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 173

    Leon’s POV.Scarlett lay on the hospital bed, her face pale and damp with sweat, her hair stuck to her temples. The nurses worked on either side of her, moving in a practiced rhythm, their hands steady as the doctor gave calm, yet firm directions. The lights above her made everything sharp and unreal.And then there was me—utterly useless, gripping her hand as if that could somehow help her through the pain.I’d faced blood before. Screaming, chaos, the kind of emergencies that could unmake a person. But this was different. This was her. This was the woman I loved, bringing our children into the world while I stood there, helpless, and doing everything I can not to fall apart.Her grip on my hand tightened agai and her knuckles went white.“Leon—” Her voice broke.“I’m here,” I whispered in an attempt to sound soothing, leaning closer. “I’ve got you.”She let out a sharp sound, half a gasp, half a sob. Her whole body shook as she tried to push through another contraction.The doctor’s

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 172

    Scarlett’s POV.For a moment, Leon just stood there, staring at me as if he hadn’t heard what I said.Then the realization seemed to finally hit him.He blinked once, looked down at the floor, and froze completely. His face went pale.“Scarlett—” His voice caught halfway through my name. “Your— you— it’s—”“My water broke,” I said again, keeping my tone even.He spun in a small circle, eyes darting between me and the puddle forming beneath my feet like he wasn’t sure which problem to handle first. “Okay—okay, right. Hospital. Towels—where are the towels?”He tripped over the leg of the chair, stumbled, caught himself on the table, and swore under his breath.I couldn’t help but smile. “Leon, you can relax. It’s alright.”He turned sharply, still looking horrified. “Alright? You’re going into labor!”“Yes, and that’s why we need to get to the hospital.” I tried to keep my voice calm, like I was talking him through a hostage situation. “Can you please grab a towel?”He moved before I fi

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 171

    Leon’s POV.Sleep never came easily.I spent most of the night staring at the ceiling, my mind looping through the same moment over and over again—the way Scarlett’s eyes had flickered between surprise and quiet acceptance before I kissed her. That heartbeat of hesitation that could have gone either way.For a split second afterward, panic had surged through me. I’d half expected her to pull away, slap me, tell me I’d crossed a line. But she hadn’t. Instead, she’d looked at me like she was still trying to decide if what happened was real.Now, in the daylight, the memory carried less of the chaos and more of the strange calm that followed. I hadn’t planned on kissing her. It wasn’t part of anything I’d told myself I was ready to do. But for once, logic hadn’t led—I’d just acted. And I didn’t regret it.Scarlett didn’t seem angry. Conflicted, maybe. But not angry. That was enough for now.I pushed off the sheets and sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing a hand over my face. The sky outsi

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 170

    Scarlett’s POV.The ride back to the beach house was quiet. Well—sort of.Ezra hummed along to something faint on the radio, pretending not to notice the heavy silence between Leon and me. The only other sound came from the road beneath the tires and the soft clinking of the glass bottles in the small cooler beside him.I kept my hands folded over my stomach, focusing on the twins’ faint movements instead of the heat still lingering on my lips. Every time I replayed that moment on the yacht, my pulse jumped. I wasn’t sure what shocked me more—how easily it happened or how right it felt in that instant.Leon didn’t bring it up. He sat beside me, composed as always, looking out the window as though he hadn’t just crossed a line we’d both been carefully dancing around for weeks.Ezra caught my eye once in the rearview mirror, grinning like he knew exactly what had happened, but Leon shut him up with a single look. That ended the conversation before it could even start.When we reached th

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 169

    Scarlett’s POV.Leon hadn’t said much that morning. His focus stayed fixed on his phone while he ate breakfast, his eyes moving too quickly across the screen, jaw tight in that familiar way that meant his mind was somewhere else entirely.He asked if I’d slept well. I told him I had, which was the truth.When he looked at me, he smiled like everything was fine. It wasn’t a lie, not for at the moment—exactly. But he just gave me one of those careful looks he used when he didn’t want to be questioned.The kind that told me he was carrying more than he was saying out loud.I watched him check his watch for the third time in ten minutes before setting my fork down. “You’re quiet today,” I said.“Just a few things to sort through,” he replied. His tone was even, practiced. “It’s nothing important.”He didn’t meet my eyes when he said it.I could’ve pushed. I didn’t. There was something about the way his hand lingered over the phone, like he was expecting it to ring again, that told me what
