Estelle’s POV

I looked up from the chart and my eyes locked with Harrison’s.

Nobody spoke. Dr. Ethan looked at me, then Harrison, then me again. He frowned slightly and tilted his head, clearly confused by something.

“Do you two know each other?” Dr. Ethan asked carefully.

“We were married once,” Harrison said flatly, and that was it. He left it at that without explaining further, without giving me any context at all.

I forced myself to look away from Harrison and turned to Dr. Ethan instead, keeping my face blank.

“What’s the patient’s current condition? Do you have the initial examination results?”

Dr. Ethan opened his mouth to answer but Harrison cut him off loudly.

“Wait,” he said sharply, his hand coming up. “Dr. Ethan, I need the absolute best specialist for my son. Are there other options? Can we transfer him somewhere else immediately?”

The question hit me squarely but I refused to let him see that it stung.

Of course he didn’t trust me. I was his ex-wife, the woman he’d accuse

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 23

    Estelle’s POVChloe rubbed her nose with the back of her hand, her small face scrunching up like she’d smelled something bad.“Aunt Daisy’s flowers smell nice,” she said nasally, still rubbing, “but my nose feels funny.”Before anyone could respond, Harrison turned his head sharply and sneezed loudly.He frowned deeply and yanked a handkerchief from his pocket, pressing it against his mouth and nose fast.Chloe was still rubbing her nose, blinking at him with watery eyes, and I watched his eyebrows pull together slowly. His mouth opened slightly and he tilted his head, looking at her more closely now, his gaze moving from her nose to her eyes to the shape of her face.I felt my fingernails dig into my palms and forced myself to stay still, to not rush over and block his view, because that would be even more obvious.Daisy shifted uncomfortably by the door and I heard her clear her throat awkwardly. Karl had gone very quiet beside me, his shoulders rigid.Harrison glanced at me quickly,

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 22

    Estelle’s POVThe words stung and I felt my face go hot, my fingers curling into fists at my sides. He was implying I’d run away to be with Karl, that I’d been planning this the whole time, that I was just as bad as—“Do you really think I’m as despicable as you were back then?” I demanded sharply, taking a step toward him before I could stop myself. “Is that what you’re saying, Harrison? That I’m capable of the same things you did?”Harrison’s eyebrows pulled together and he opened his mouth but I didn’t let him speak.“Because unlike you, Karl and I reconnected by chance,” I continued heatedly, my voice rising despite myself. “We weren’t sneaking around behind anyone’s back. We didn’t fabricate evidence to justify leaving. We didn’t—”I stopped abruptly, my eyes darting to Chloe, who was still pressed against my side watching us with wide confused eyes. She didn’t need to hear this, didn’t need to know about the fake photos or Harrison’s accusations or any of it.“I don’t want to dis

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 21

    Estelle’s POVI reached behind me and squeezed Karl’s back quickly, my fingers pressing into his shirt, and he stiffened for half a second before he got what I was asking.He stepped forward immediately and extended his hand toward Harrison smoothly. “I’m Karl,” he said warmly. “Estelle’s husband. It’s nice to finally meet you.”Harrison’s eyes went dark and completely unreadable, his face shutting down into something blank and cold. His gaze swept between the two of us slowly, back and forth, then finally landed on my face and stayed there.The way he looked at me made my skin prickle uncomfortably, like he was trying to see through me, trying to catch me in something.“Are you not going to invite me in?” he asked flatly.I opened my mouth but nothing came out right away, my brain scrambling to figure out what to say, how to get him to leave without making a scene in front of Chloe.Karl moved aside before I could answer, stepping back from the doorway and gesturing inward.“Please, c

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 20

    Harrison’s POVDaddy. The word stopped everything.I froze completely in the doorway, my hand still raised from knocking. My brain stuttered trying to make sense of what I’d just heard, because it couldn’t be right, couldn’t mean what I thought it meant.Then a little girl appeared from the living room, her hand wrapped around the fingers of the man I’d glimpsed through the window earlier. She had dark hair pulled back in a ponytail and she was smiling up at him like he’d hung the moon personally just for her.My eyes snapped to Estelle and the question ripped out of me before I could stop it.“Who is this?” I asked hoarsely, gesturing at the stranger behind her, my throat closing up tight.Estelle pressed her lips together and didn’t answer right away. She just stood there blocking the doorway, her posture rigid.The little girl looked up at me curiously, then back at the man beside her. She lifted her chin proudly and announced clearly, “This is my daddy!”My eyes darted between Este

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 19

    Estelle’s POVI sat at the corner table in the café, checking my phone for the third time in five minutes. Dr. Ethan had said his friend would meet me here at two, and it was already ten past.A man walked through the door and scanned the room quickly before his eyes landed on me. He was tall, wearing a dark blazer over a simple shirt. He crossed the café and stopped at my table.“Estelle?” he asked politely, smiling slightly.I looked up at him and my brain stuttered for a second, because I knew that face. “Karl?”His smile widened. “You remember me.”“I thought—” I blinked at him stupidly. “I thought you were just someone with the same name!”“It’s me,” he said warmly, gesturing to the empty chair across from me. “May I?”“Of course,” I said quickly, still trying to process this. Karl from university. Karl who’d sat next to me in auditory physiology and always lent me his notes when I missed class.He sat down and folded his hands on the table, and I noticed he wasn’t wearing a weddi

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 18

    Harrison’s POVThe door clicked shut behind Estelle and I just stood there, my cheek throbbing where she’d hit me.I raised my hand slowly and touched the spot, pressing my fingers against the hot skin, and the pathetic truth was I felt relieved, God help meI’d rather have her furious than looking through me like I didn’t exist. I’d finally broken through and made her react to me instead of treating me like a stranger she barely remembered.The method was terrible, I knew that, but she’d cried and that meant she still felt something, still cared enough to get angry instead of just walking away.She wasn’t indifferent. That was what mattered.I wiped my lower lip with my thumb and looked down at the faint smudge of color on my skin—her lipstick, pale pink, barely there.I stared at it stupidly for a second, this tiny proof that I’d just kissed my ex-wife in a hospital examination room while our son slept two feet away.God, what was wrong with me?I walked over to the examination table
