I didn’t tell anyone I was leaving. Not Sebastian, not Jordan, not even Joey. I packed what little I had into two suitcases and left the house before dawn, the sky still cloaked in darkness. My mother’s apartment welcomed me with its familiar scent of jasmine and old books, totally different from the coldness that had seeped into my own home.​

The apartment was modest, a two-bedroom on the third floor of an aging building. The walls bore the memories of my childhood, the scuff marks from years past still visible. However, the moment I stepped into my mother’s apartment, I knew I am going to get the comfort I had been hoping for.

My Mom is still at the hospital. Her condition is a lot better than before still she needs to be under observation and for the first time in my life I was relieved that no one is home. I am a ad daughter for having such thoughts but I cannot help it. I need to be alone. I need to gather myself and pull my thoughts. Only then I will be able to function. Otherwi

She should have never been in the house in the first place. You still don’t get why she would be upset.

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 129 Parading in front of ex

    Haley’s POV:The sun had begun to dip lower, painting the sky in pale gold and soft pink. Lily was still in the water, practicing her kicks with Sebastian close by, while Jordan sat beside me, tossing small pebbles into the waves.Sebastian glanced toward the shore, one arm up to block the sun. “You know,” he called out, “I brought a few things for a barbecue. Thought we could make a little lunch here.”I blinked in surprise. “You did?”He nodded, a faint grin on his face. “Burgers, some chicken skewers… and I’ve got a cooler full of drinks.”Jordan’s face lit up immediately. “We should, Mom! Please? It’s been forever since we all ate together.”I hesitated, looking between them. I hadn’t exactly planned to turn this into a family outing… but when I saw the way Jordan’s eyes shone, I couldn’t say no. It had been a while since I

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 128 My own person.

    Haley’s POV:The afternoon sun was warm but gentle, the kind that made the water sparkle like a sheet of glass scattered with diamonds. Lily was knee-deep in the water, holding her arms out as tiny waves lapped against her legs.I stayed close to the shore, watching her. She had been taking swimming lessons for a while, but she still wasn’t confident in deep water. She could float, kick, and paddle well enough in the shallow end, but the moment her feet couldn’t touch the bottom, panic always took over.Sebastian noticed too. He stood beside me, his feet sinking slightly into the wet sand, his eyes on Lily. “She’s good,” he said, “but she’s hesitating.”I glanced at him. “Yeah, she freezes up in the deeper section even in pool.”“Mind if I try helping her?” he asked. His tone wasn’t pushy — just matter-of-fact, like he’d already made up his mind to give her a boost if she’d let him.I hesitated, then nodded slowly. “Let’s ask her first.”We walked closer, the water cooling our feet. “

    Haley’s POV:I sat on the edge of the bed, phone in hand, staring at the message I’d just typed. My thumbs hovered over the screen for a second before pressing send.How’s my mom?The reply came a minute later from Peter.She’s stable, Haley. The surgery went well. But she’s still weak. Needs at least a week of rest before she can handle too many visitors.I exhaled, some of the tension in my chest loosening. Still, a dull worry remained.Is she in pain? I typed.Peter replied almost immediately.Minimal. But her mood isn’t great. I think she’s feeling a bit down.I closed my eyes for a moment. “That’s exactly what I was afraid of,” I muttered under my breath.Logan came out of the bathroom, towel draped over his neck. His hair was damp, messy from the quick rub with the towel. He noticed my expression right away.“What did Peter say?” he asked.I put my phone down. “She’s stable. Surgery went well. But she needs more time… maybe a week before visitors. And—Peter said she’s not in the

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 126 Logan to the rescue.

    Haley’s POV:The sound of Susan’s voice cut through the noise of the street.“Help me!” she shouted, her voice high and panicked.Logan’s head turned instantly. I followed his gaze and saw her. The man had caught up to her and now Susan was struggling in the grip of a man whose hand was clamped hard around her arm. His face was half-hidden in shadow, but I could see the ugly set of his jaw and the way he leaned toward her like he owned her.“Stay here,” Logan murmured in my ear, his voice low, tight. His arm around my waist tightened. “Don’t move.”The man looked up and saw us watching. His lip curled into a sneer. “Mind your own business.”Logan stepped forward. “Let her go.”“She’s fine,” the man said, gripping Susan’s arm even tighter. She winced, trying to pull back.“Does she look fine to you?” Logan’s voice was calm but sharp, each word clipped.The man’s eyes narrowed. “Walk away. This isn’t your problem.”Logan’s tone didn’t change. “Last chance.”The man gave a mocking laugh.

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 125 Bribing my people

    Haley's POV:Logan’s shadow fell over me before I even saw him. I felt the familiar heat of his presence before I heard him speak. Warm hands slid around my waist, firm but gentle, pulling me back until I was pressed against the solid wall of his chest.His cologne — that faint mix of cedar and something darker — curled through my senses, and I had to steady my breath.“What’s going on here?” he asked, his voice low and teasing, eyes flicking between me and my team.I didn’t have time to answer because, without warning, he tilted my chin up and kissed me.Not a polite peck.Not a quick brush.This was a claim.His mouth moved against mine with a slow, deliberate pressure that made my toes curl in my heels. His lips were warm, coaxing, yet demanding, tasting faintly of the wine he’d been drinking. I could feel his heartbeat, steady and unhurried, as if he had all the time in the world to kiss me like this — and he was going to use every second.When he deepened it, his hand slid up my

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 124 When are you getting married?

    Haley’s POV:Logan’s presence was warm at my back before I even heard his voice.“What’s wrong?”I stiffened, forcing my expression into something neutral before turning my head slightly toward him. “It’s nothing.”He didn’t look convinced, but I wasn’t going to say a single word about Susan. Not here. Not tonight. I was done getting involved in her messy love life.Before he could press, a wave of movement caught my eye. Erin was making her way through the crowd with a few people from my department. Her face lit up when she saw me.“There you are! I’ve been looking everywhere.”Logan gave me a quick squeeze on the shoulder. “I’ll leave you with your team. Have fun.”He kissed my temple before disappearing into the crowd, probably heading toward a group of investors he’d spotted earlier.I turned to Erin and her colleagues, smiling. “Okay, I promised you all some quality time tonight. Drinks are on me. And… maybe some rewards for the amazing work you’ve been doing lately.”That instan
