Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle Chapter 65
Scarlett’s POV.I didn’t want to get out of bed.The blankets were heavy, not just in weight but in meaning—security I didn’t have anywhere else. But I forced myself up. Every second I stayed curled up in here was another second someone else could use against me.Nothing changed. The journal was still missing and I couldn’t bear just sitting around and waiting for it to miraculously reappear.I washed up quickly, tied my hair back, and changed into a soft sweater that made me look less guarded than I felt. I needed to keep this subtle and I couldn’t tip anyone off.The first person I spoke to was one of the older housekeepers—Helen. I caught her in the hallway with a folded pile of fresh towels.“Morning,” I greeted casually, adjusting the sleeve of my sweater. “Have you seen my old sunglasses? The ones with the gold frame?”I asked about the sunglasses instead of revealing what I was really looking for—because I remembered clearly. I’d placed them right on top of the journal before l

Scarlett’s POV.I tore through the rest of my drawers, every cabinet, every possible place it could’ve ended up—even places I knew I hadn’t put it. I kept trying to tell myself that I had misplaced it, that with everything going on I had somehow gotten confused and forgot it somewhere completely different.But in my gut I knew…I knew where I had put it.My hands were shaking and my throat was dry. The journal wasn’t anywhere.I stood there in the center of the room, heart pounding, palms slick, mind spiraling through every possibility.It was in that locked drawer. I always locked it for obvious reasons. No one could see what’s inside it.And now it was gone.Besides that it revealed my rebirth—my second chance at life—it contained all my raw thoughts—on the pregnancy, on Leon, on Dahlia and Dana, on Caden. Things I hadn’t even said out loud. Private things. Ugly truths. Fears I didn’t want anyone to see. Especially not now.If someone had taken it—if someone had read it—then they ha

Leon’s POV.When Scarlett’s door shut behind me last night, the echo of her words didn’t leave my head.I didn’t blame her. Not fully. She was breaking, and I knew it. She was holding on by sheer will, trying to act like none of this was eating her alive. But that didn’t stop her outburst from getting under my skin.It wasn’t just what she said. It was what she didn’t.The way she looked at me—like I was part of the confusion she was drowning in. Like she couldn’t decide if I was her shelter or her threat.She didn’t trust me.And I couldn’t help wondering—why?Have my actions not shown her I was trustworthy enough yet?What must have happened that she was so blinded by distrust to an extent that she couldn’t see my efforts?I didn’t want to expect her to trust me—to force it onto her. But… It bothered me more than I could fathom why. I wanted her to trust me, to feel that she could be safe around me.The need for it was overwhelming and I didn’t understand why I felt that why.I let

Scarlett’s POV.I was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the maternity box from the night before. The tags were still on most of it. A part of me had wanted to rip them off and stuff everything into the back of the closet just so I wouldn’t have to look at it.I was no charity case.But… After my encounter with Leon—I was starting to think he meant well in the gesture instead.Well, I hoped he did.I sighed, wiping loose strands of hair from my face. I was having trouble thinking straight. Even more so telling the difference between good and bad intentions.I couldn’t sleep, either. I’d closed my eyes, but my body stayed tense to a point that I couldn’t take it anymore, and got up again.So when the knock came, I was already sitting up, alert. My throat tightened.I didn’t answer right away, but the knock came again—firmer this time.“Scarlett. It’s me.” There was a long pause, then, “Can we talk?”Leon.He knew I was still awake.I hesitated for half a second before moving to

Leon’s POV.Scarlett had known from the beginning that something was going on. She wasn’t paranoid or over-emotional as Caden, her father and mother-in-law had claimed. She saw it all coming before any of us wanted to see it.But again—how?Something must have happened for her to know everything before it even played out.I closed the file and leaned forward, elbows on the desk, hands pressed against my face.It wasn’t just anger building anymore.It was reckoning.They were coming at her from every angle—through the press, through personal history, through public reputation. If Scarlett wasn’t already cracking under the weight of it, she would be soon. No one could stand alone under that kind of pressure forever.Another alert came in.My tech operative had completed the courier trace.The man who delivered the poisoned muffins had never gone near the bakery listed on the card. His badge had been faked, just like we assumed. The security cam at a traffic signal two blocks from my hou

Leon’s POV.Scarlett didn’t say much, but her expression had changed. The angry edge in her tone had faded. She was looking at me like she was still processing everything, but no longer ready to snap at me for doing something I saw as a kind gesture.She’d been through a lot, and I know this won’t fix any of it. But I was hopeful it would lighten her mood the slightest.She nodded once, her brows pinching. Then with a weak smile she said, “Thank you.”Just that.But from her, right now, it was enough.I didn’t respond right away. I let her have the last word. She turned and left the room, moving slower than usual, like her steps were no longer dragging.It wasn’t a full-on smile, sure. It wasn’t some miraculous change. But it was the closest I’d seen to light in her since this all started.I watched her until she disappeared down the hall. A few minutes passed before I moved again.My wallet was still in my back pocket. I reached for it, hesitated. My fingers paused over the familiar
