He Wants Me More After Divorce Chapter 45
Harrison’s POVMy office was quiet, and all I could think about was Estelle pressed against that bathroom sink, her hands gripping the counter behind her, her eyes wide and furious and something else I didn’t want to name.Does he make you happy?I’d asked her that and she’d lied. I knew she’d lied because her voice had gone too quiet, too careful, and she’d walked out without looking at me.I shoved the laptop away and rubbed my face hard with both hands, trying to scrub the image out of my head. It didn’t work. Nothing worked. I’d been trying for two months to stop thinking about her and it only got worse after every interaction.That night in the car, I’d told myself I was doing the right thing by staying away afterward. I’d convinced myself that distance was kindness, that ignoring what happened was better than dragging her into the mess of guilt and want that lived in my skull now.But really I’d just been a coward. I’d avoided her because looking at her made me remember exactly h

Estelle’s POVI was twenty minutes late by the time I rushed into the Capella Capital conference room, my bag sliding off my shoulder and my hair still damp from the too-quick shower after an emergency consultation.Everyone was already seated around the massive glass table and they all turned to look at me when I pushed through the door.“Sorry,” I said breathlessly, dumping my bag on an empty chair. “Emergency at the hospital.”“No problem,” one of the Capella executives said smoothly, gesturing to the seat beside Karl. “We were just getting started.”Harrison sat at the head of the table in a dark suit that made him look older, sharper, more intimidating than he ever looked at the hospital. His PA stood beside him with her own tablet, and when Harrison’s eyes met mine across the table my stomach dropped.I looked away fast, focusing on my screen instead.Karl’s hand rested on the back of my chair, casual and familiar, and I went rigid. Every time he shifted closer my shoulders tense

Estelle’s POVI made it to my office before the anger really hit, slamming the door harder than necessary and crossing to my desk where I dropped into my chair and pressed both hands flat against the surface.Lucas had called her Mom.The word kept echoing in my head, bouncing around, making my jaw clench tighter with each repetition.Mom. He’d called Lindsay Mom.I’d been about to tell Harrison the truth. I’d been ready, had convinced myself it was time, that he deserved to know about Chloe, that maybe—maybe—we could figure out some kind of co-parenting arrangement that would work for everyone.But watching them together just now, watching Harrison smile at Lindsay while she stroked Lucas’s hair and he called her Mom, had killed that impulse dead.Harrison had built this perfect little life with a wife and son, and all I could think was that they got everything whilst I’d whilst I’d been left pregnant and alone, whilst Chloe had grown up without a father because he’d chosen them over

Estelle’s POVI stared at Lindsay, trying to process what she’d just said, and my mind kept getting stuck on the sheer childishness of it.A phobia. She had a phobia of needles.“Lindsay,” I said blandly, even though I wanted to roll my eyes, “many people are uncomfortable with needles, but this is for Lucas’s medical care. We need accurate genetic information to—”“I know it’s important,” Lindsay interrupted quickly, looking up at me with wide pleading eyes. “But Harrison’s test will show what you need to know, right? If he’s a carrier?”“Ideally we’d test both biological parents to confirm—”“But if Harrison’s test comes back positive, then we know Lucas inherited it from him,” Lindsay said, speaking faster now. “And if Harrison’s test is negative, then obviously it came from me, so you’d know I’m a carrier without having to actually test me. Right?”I opened my mouth, then closed it again, because technically she wasn’t wrong. The logic was sound.“That’s true,” I admitted reluctant

Lindsay’s POVI nodded miserably, wrapping my arms around myself, and then something occurred to me that almost made me laugh.“At least Lucas can’t hear most of what she says to him,” I said, the words coming out before I could stop them. “Silver lining, right? His ear issues mean they can’t really bond or have conversations. She can’t get close to him if he can’t hear her properly.”Claire’s head snapped toward me and her eyes went hard and cold. “That’s in extremely poor taste, Lindsay.”I flinched, heat flooding my face. “I didn’t mean—I just meant—”“I know what you meant,” Claire said icily. “And it’s disgusting. Lucas is suffering. He’s scared and confused and in pain. Don’t you dare suggest that his disability is somehow convenient for us.”“I’m sorry,” I whispered, looking down at my feet.Claire let out a long breath and when she spoke again her voice had softened slightly. “I understand you’re frightened. I am too, but we can’t afford to be cruel, Lindsay. We need to stay fo

Lindsay’s POVThe moment the door closed behind Estelle, Claire moved fast, crossing the room and putting herself between me and Harrison like a shield.“Harrison, Lindsay is just anxious,” Claire said quickly. “She didn’t mean to cause confusion.”“Confusion?” Harrison repeated with irritation and bewilderment. “Lindsay just said she can’t do testing that Estelle didn’t even ask her to do. What’s going on?”I opened my mouth but nothing came out, my throat closing up as panic clawed its way up from my stomach. I’d said too much, revealed too much, and now Harrison was frowning at me, his eyes moving over my face like he was trying to catch me in a lie.Claire let out a small laugh, light and dismissive.“Oh, Harrison, you’re reading too much into it. Lindsay has always been anxious about medical procedures. You know that. She was simply expressing her discomfort with the idea of testing in general.”Harrison’s frown deepened and I could see him working through it in his head, trying t
