I met Erin at a small corner café later that morning, after dropping Lily off at school.

The place smelled like cinnamon rolls and fresh coffee, and there was a gentle hum of people chatting and typing away on laptops. I spotted Erin near the window, already seated, her hair pinned up and her blazer as crisp as ever. Her expression was serious.

I felt a knot begin to form in my stomach.

She looked up as I approached and stood to hug me quickly. “Hey. Sit down, Haley.”

I slid into the seat across from her, trying to read her face. “Everything okay?”

She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she opened her tablet and pulled up a page.

“Have you checked the comments on your comic lately?”

I blinked. “No. I’ve been too busy.”

Erin took a deep breath and turned the screen toward me. “You might want to see this.”

There they were. Comment after comment after comment.

Negative. Sharp. Cruel.

“She clearly doesn’t know how to write.”

“Another pretty face thinking she can draw.”

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 111 Trust and choices.

    The next morning, I woke up to a silent bedroom. Logan’s side of the bed was cool and empty. My fingers slid over the empty sheet beside me, as if hoping for warmth that had long faded. My heart sank for a moment, heavy with the weight of missing him, but the rising sun poured through the curtains, reminding me that the day awaited—and so did I.On the nightstand, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and saw a text from Sebastian:“Issue at work is fixed. All systems are green.”I exhaled slowly, feeling a sense of relief bloom in my chest. I typed back quickly:“Thank you. Can I ask about Jordan?”Seconds later, another ping. He sent me a photo of Jordan at the kitchen table, elbows bent over a jigsaw puzzle, face completely focused. His lips were slightly parted, tongue pressed against his cheek like he always did when he concentrated hard. A smile tugged at my lips—soft, maternal, and full of love.“Look at him—hard at work.”I tapped back:“He looks really happy. Thanks.”That image st

    The afternoon sun cast long shadows over the school parking lot as I stepped out of the car. The air was cool, crisp with the scent of turning leaves. I adjusted my scarf and looked toward the school entrance, the sound of children laughing carrying faintly in the wind.Just then, I saw Jordan walking out, backpack slung lazily over one shoulder. His eyes caught mine, and a small smile tugged at his lips.“Hey, Mom,” he called, heading toward me.“Hi, sweetheart,” I said, opening my arms as he came in for a quick hug.“I told the teacher today,” he said, pulling back. “About transferring schools.”I blinked. “You did? That fast?”He shrugged. “Yeah. I wanted to. I even told them to start the paperwork. They’re planning a little farewell for me. Maybe cupcakes.”“Cupcakes, huh?” I gave him a soft smile. “Well, I guess you always liked making a big exit.”Jordan gave a half-laugh, stuffing his hands into his hoodie pocket. “I just… I want something new. I think it’ll be good for me. New

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 109 Clearing the air.

    The morning air was crisp, cool enough to wake every sense, yet gentle with the kind of softness that made me want to slow down. I guided Lily through the school hallway, my hand resting gently on her shoulder as she adjusted her slightly crooked backpack. Her little feet tapped against the tile floor with each step, her curls bouncing with each excited turn of her head.She suddenly stopped, turned to face me, and wrapped her arms around my waist tightly.“Mommy,” she whispered, her voice barely louder than the breeze slipping through the open front doors. “Goodbye… love you.”I crouched down and pressed a kiss to her soft cheek. “Love you too,” I whispered with a smile.She beamed and waved once more before walking into her classroom, disappearing behind the door painted with tiny stars and cheerful drawings. I stood in the hallway for a moment longer than I needed to. Something about watching her walk away always left a little tug on my heart.When I finally turned, I took a deep b

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 108 Waiting game.

    I didn’t hear from Logan that night. No goodnight text, no whispered “sleep well,” not even a missed call I could pretend to be annoyed about. Just… silence.And in that silence, my mind raced.I tried to calm myself by painting—grabbing my worn brushes, the canvas that still smelled like oils, and the set of colors that always seemed to bring me peace. I set everything on the coffee table and dipped my brush into soft pastel shades—calm ocean blues, warm yellows like sunlight, and gentle lilacs that reminded me of quiet mornings. It helped, a little. The rhythm of it, the careful strokes and blending, allowed me to breathe through the restlessness building inside.Lily slept in the same room with me that night—her little body curled up close beside me under a sea of blankets. She’d insisted, saying she didn’t want to sleep alone, and honestly, I didn’t either. The sound of her steady, peaceful breathing was the only comfort I had. It grounded me, anchoring me when my thoughts started

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 107 I will destroy you.

    The private jet touched down in the city with barely a jolt, but the silence between us was heavy.Logan sat across from me, eyes glued to the window, fingers tapping his knee in an uneven rhythm. His phone buzzed every few minutes—messages, updates, pressure. I didn’t ask. I just sat with Lily, holding her close while she clutched her teddy bear and leaned into my side.She didn’t ask questions either. But I could tell she was picking up on all of it—Logan’s tension, my worry, the silence that should’ve been filled with reassurance.The moment we stepped off the plane, Logan’s father was already waiting. He didn’t greet anyone, just walked straight up to Logan and pulled him aside without a glance at me.I watched them from a distance, but I didn’t need to hear it all.“…before she lost consciousness…”“…said she’ll never forgive you…”“…if you marry her.”My stomach dropped.Logan’s posture stiffened. His father’s voice stayed low and sharp, like a warning. When Logan finally looked
