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

Leon’s POV.“Sir, we found it under the handle of her suitcase,” Ezra explained, his tone careful. “The tracker’s advanced and fairly well hidden. It took the team a while to figure out where it was hidden. But point being, Sir… Whoever planted it seemed to be well experienced in following their target.”Who was no doubt Scarlett.The mere thought made my gut twist horribly.I kept my eyes on the horizon through the window instead of the evidence bag on the table between us that Ezra had brought in. The sea stretched wide and empty beyond the railing, calm in a way that didn’t fit the way the morning felt.“How long do you think it was there?” I asked.“Before we left the city,” he replied. “It could’ve been slipped on while the luggage was being loaded onto the jet or even before we left the mansion. I had security sweep every inch of the property before we left, but it is possible they have slipped up again like when someone got into the nursery. Clearly, this person is smart. So sm

Scarlett’s POV.Leon informed me that we were ready to leave, and before I could ask where exactly we were going, Ezra was already pulling the car to the front steps. Leon was focused and efficient, not wasting a second. It was as if he was afraid those wasted seconds would give whoever was in the house last night another opportunity to strike.I barely had time to grab my coat before he ushered me outside, one hand steady on my back as if he was afraid I’d vanish the second he let go.It was odd in that moment, how his worry made me feel extra safe and assured that nothing bad would happen to me.The ride to the airport was quiet, the kind of silence that carried too much weight to fill with small talk. Leon kept checking his phone, typing quickly, his thumb moving fast across the screen. Each time he read a reply, his jaw tightened. I thought about asking what was wrong, but decided against it. He was trying to protect me. I could feel that much.When we reached the private airstrip

Leon’s POV.Scarlett was asleep on her side, curled slightly toward the edge of my bed as if trying to take up the smallest possible space. The blanket had slipped halfway off her shoulder. Even in sleep, her brows were pinched together, her breathing uneven—like she’d carried tonight’s fear into her dreams.I moved quietly across the room and pulled the blanket higher, tucking it gently around her. For a moment, I just stood there, watching the rise and fall of her chest, the faint movement of her lips when she exhaled.It hit me then how close I’d come to losing her tonight. Not in the physical sense, thank goodness, but in trust.She was terrified, and for good reason.Someone had been inside this house. Inside the nursery. The one room I swore would be the safest place on earth.The security lights outside flickered faintly through the curtains. I’d ordered the security guards to double their rounds, but even that didn’t feel like enough. Someone had walked across that nursery flo

Scarlett’s POV.By the time dinner came around, I could hardly sit still. The papers Leon had handed me earlier were still sitting on my desk, staring back at me every time I walked past. I had gone through them at least five times already, reading every line of text like it might vanish if I blinked too long.My name printed beside my mother’s felt unreal. I’d never seen those two names together in that way. It wasn’t just ownership. It was something sacred. A part of her that I somehow got to keep alive.The house smelled like roasted herbs and bread when I came downstairs. The staff were their usual chatty selves, still seemingly hyped-up about the cake they had at the baby shower earlier. I smiled to myself, glad I had been unintentionally able to brighten their day.Though, Olivia was the one who had brought the cake—I was the one who insisted the staff have some of it, as the cake was huge and there was no way we could all eat it in one sitting.Leon was already at the table whe

Leon’s POV.The morning went far better than I expected it would.Scarlett’s laughter carried through the dining hall, soft and unguarded, and I found myself standing still just to watch her. She had one hand on her belly, the other holding a teacup while she listened to Gavin’s wife talk. The light hit her face in a way that made every sharp edge in my mind go quiet.For once, there was peace in her world.I almost believed it could last—until my phone vibrated in my pocket.I stepped away from the table, checking the message.It was from Ezra: Young Mr. Rosenthal was found sneaking onto the back of the property. He’s been escorted out discreetly by security. There is footage, if you’d like to take it further, Sir.My jaw locked.I glanced up from the screen. Scarlett was laughing again—at something Olivia had said. Her shoulders relaxed, her eyes bright. I could see the relief in her. Goodness knows, she needed this.I slipped the phone back into my pocket.I was not going to deal w
