Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle Chapter 115
Scarlett’s POV.I stirred awake to the faint clink of china. For a moment, I thought I was still dreaming. The soft scent of buttered toast, warm eggs, and something sweet drifted toward me, making my stomach growl before my eyes were even open. When I blinked the sleep away, the sight made me freeze.A tray sat across my lap, perfectly arranged with breakfast. A cup of tea released a gentle stream of steam, a glass of fresh juice glowed orange in the early morning light, and beside it all was Leon.He stood there in his usual composed way, hands tucked behind his back, as if this wasn’t strange at all.“Leon?” I sat up quickly, my hair falling across my face. “What is this? Did I oversleep? I—”“No, you didn’t,” there was a slight upward quirk to his lips as he said it. The added, “Just thought to bring you breakfast.” Despite the obvious slight twinkle in his eyes, he kept his tone even, almost detached, as if he was keeping a secret and didn’t want to tell me about it.I blinked a

Leon’s POV.The paramedics finally backed away, declaring Scarlett stable and unharmed—minus a few scratches here and there. I stayed where I was, close enough that I could catch her if she might not be as fine as they claimed and possibly lose her footing, keeping a close eye on every movement she made.Their words did nothing to ease the knot in my chest.She sat on the edge of the stretcher, pale under the flashing lights, her voice steady but too soft. They ticked boxes on a clipboard, assuring me she was fine.I didn’t believe them.When the last EMT began packing his bag, Scarlett tugged on my sleeve. Her voice was quiet, meant for me alone. “I saw someone,” she said, her eyes sharp with unease. “There was a man in a hoodie. He ran from the car right before we left the mall.”My gaze hardened, not liking one bit what I was hearing. “You’re certain?”Her nod was firm. “I’m sure.”The driver moved closer, his expression grim. “I noticed him too, Mr. Rosenthal. He went straight fro

Scarlett’s POV.That morning, the atmosphere in the mansion had shifted. The staff went about their duties as usual, but their behavior toward me wasn’t the same. Whispers cut off the second I stepped into a room. Averted gazes replaced the usual nods and polite smiles. Where I had once felt acknowledged, I now felt deliberately ignored.At first, I told myself it was my imagination.But when even the maid who usually left fresh flowers in the dining room hurried past me without so much as a glance, the truth pressed down harder. I wasn’t imagining it. Something had shifted.In the hallway, I finally pulled aside one of the few I trusted, the maid who had once dared to slip prune juice into Franchesca’s tea and laugh about it with me. Her face paled when I asked her why everyone was acting strange.She hesitated at first, then whispered, “It’s Franchesca, Miss Scarlett. She’s been threatening the others. She told them that if they don’t keep their distance from you, she’ll have them f

Leon’s POV.The office was quiet except for the faint hum of the city beyond the windows. I sat behind my desk, the petition spread out in front of me, rereading the same words for the third time. Caden’s lawyer had filed it with urgency, pushing for another test.I knew without a doubt that this wasn’t about exposing the truth. We already confirmed the truth.Nor was this about Caden being in denial. He may be many things—but he most certainly wasn’t stupid either.It was all about dragging Scarlett through the dirt until there was nothing left of her to defend.I leaned back in my chair, rubbing the bridge of my nose. Caden’s obsession had gone beyond logic at this point. A man didn’t go to these lengths for money alone. Not when he had resources of his own. He wanted something else. Revenge. Domination. Proof that he could still control her.The thought settled uneasily in my chest. I knew the woman Scarlett was now. Strong-willed. Defiant. Resilient in ways even she didn’t recogni

Scarlett’s POV.I woke to hushed voices right outside my door.I immediately recognized it to be the staff. However, they were speaking too low for me to catch the words, but the whispering was enough to jolt me fully awake.I pushed myself up, heart already restless, and opened the door. A maid froze in the corridor, her tray shaking in her hands.“What’s going on?” I pressed.She hesitated, eyes darting down the hall as though she could escape my demand. When I moved closer, she broke. “The news, Miss. It came out last night. Mr. Caden filed a petition.”The world dropped out from under me. “What kind of petition?”Her lips tightened before she forced the words. “Another paternity test. The gossip columns are everywhere with it.”I didn’t need to see them to know. Still, I snatched her phone when she offered it with trembling fingers. Page after page, my face stared back at me. Headlines blared accusations. Liar. Manipulative. Gold digger. My name dragged through the dirt—again. Whe
Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle Chapter 110
Leon’s POV.Scarlett agreed to the marriage, but the way she said it has stayed with me. I noticed her reluctance—how her eyes refused to meet mine. She looked at the crib instead, her hands gripping the blanket too tightly. She didn’t sound relieved or victorious. She sounded… resigned.I should have asked her what she was thinking. Instead, I told myself it was enough that she agreed. It is what needed to be done.The children need legitimacy. Their future needs security. A name strong enough to shield them.That was all that mattered.But as I walked away from the nursery, I couldn’t get rid of the image of her face. That sadness in her eyes cut deeper than I wanted to admit. She was agreeing to tie herself to me, and she already looked like she was bracing herself for a prison sentence.I tried to remind myself that this was not about her or about me.It was about the children. They are the priority. Yet the reminder did little to ease the weight in my chest.And then, as if summo
