Sebastian grabbed my hand, his eyes filled with hurt. I knew him too well. This was one of his tricks, one of the manipulative games he always played to make me feel guilty. I quickly pulled my hand away, refusing to fall for it.

"You just want me to visit Jordan, right?" I said, my voice shaking with anger. "I can do it. He is my son afterall. No matter what happens between us, I cannot abandon him."

He stared at me for a moment, disbelief written on his face. "Visit- What?? You want to just walk away from everything and leave me with nothing?"

"Jordan doesn't want me," I answered, trying to stay calm, though my emotions were a storm inside me. "I can understand that. You and Joey have already filled him with so much hatred about me that he is not going to open his heart for me again. This is the reason why he wants you to marry Joey as well. But Sebastian don't you dare ask me for blessing. I have never liked Joey and the way I was forced to leave my house because of her-- I would n

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 56 Something of her own.

    The morning sunlight poured through the windows, brushing across the marble floors of Logan’s mansion. The house felt unusually quiet, except for the distant sound of birds chirping outside. I stood by the kitchen counter, slowly stirring Lily’s porridge. A faint smile tugged at my lips as I thought of her.Despite everything—Logan’s distance, my role as just a nanny, the ache of unreturned feelings—I still felt a strange peace in moments like this.When Lily came down the stairs, her eyes sparkled. She ran straight into my arms.“Aunt Haley!” she squealed, hugging me tight.I bent down to her level. “Good morning, sweetheart.”“Daddy left early today,” she mumbled into my shoulder.“I know,” I said softly, brushing her hair back. “He had something important to do for work.”She pulled back and looked at me with those big, round eyes. “Will Daddy be okay?”I smiled, placing a kiss on her forehead. “He’ll be just fine. Logan would never let anyone hurt him. And he’d never let anyone hu

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 55 Much needed peace.

    The apartment felt too quiet when I got back from my mother’s place.The lights were off, the hallway dim, and everything seemed still—like the air was holding its breath. I slipped off my shoes slowly, careful not to wake anyone. Lily was already asleep in her room. I peeked in, just to check. She was curled up under her pink blanket, hugging her stuffed bunny, her soft breathing barely audible.I didn’t go to my room. I didn’t want to lie awake staring at the ceiling again. I needed air. I needed noise. I needed to feel like myself, even if only for a few hours.I pulled out my phone and sent a quick message to Logan.Me: I’ll be back late. Don’t wait up.No explanation. Just that. I left the apartment and walked into the night.The sky outside was a deep gray-blue, not completely dark yet. The wind was cool against my skin, brushing through my hair like a whisper. My chest still felt heavy—tight from the things my mother had said. I could still see Jordan’s eyes, wide with fear as

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 54 No place for me.

    On the way back from Ricardo’s boutique, I pretended not to have heard what he said to Logan.I didn’t want to think about it. I didn’t want to accept the fact that Logan’s mother—just like Sebastian’s world—would never truly accept someone like me. A divorced woman. A mother. A former nanny.Maybe I had always been that—a passing person in their fancy lives. Someone useful, but never permanent.“Haley,” Logan said gently from the passenger seat. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” I replied, staring out the window.He didn’t ask more. Maybe he knew I wasn’t ready to talk. Maybe he had his own thoughts to deal with.When we got home, Lily bounced into the living room with her sparkly hair clips still on, humming the tune Ricardo had played on the speakers earlier. I kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly.Logan stood nearby, watching us with quiet eyes. I could feel his gaze, heavy and searching, but I didn’t meet it.Then, my phone buzzed.Mom.I hesitated before answering. “Hello?”“Hal

    That’s how it was going to be.I didn’t need anything fancy. I had Lily. I had my paints. Even if I wasn’t exactly selling paintings or booked for gallery shows, it was something. My own thing. A quiet dream I could hold onto.Life wasn’t perfect. Far from it. But for once, it felt… manageable. Peaceful.And peaceful was good.Last night, I slept deeply. No tears, no tossing around. Just Lily breathing softly beside me and the weight of the past slowly sliding off my shoulders.Until morning came.I was just pulling the covers over my head when I heard a knock at the door.“Haley.” Logan’s voice floated in, smooth but firm. “Get up. We’re going to see Ricardo.”I groaned loudly into my pillow.“Nooooo,” I said like a dying whale.I peeked out to see him standing in the doorway in a crisp white shirt tucked into dark slacks. His sleeves were rolled to his elbows, exposing his forearms, and his hair was still damp from the shower, tousled and somehow unfairly perfect. He looked like a m

    I got in the car with Lily, trying hard to keep my face calm, but my hands were shaking slightly as I held the steering wheel. I didn’t want her to see how upset I was. She looked up at me from the back seat, her small face curious but quiet.“Aunt Haley,” she said gently, “are you okay?”I nodded. “I just need to make a phone call, sweetie. Can you play with your doll for a bit?”She nodded and took out her favorite toy from her backpack. I pulled out my phone and stared at the screen for a second before pressing Sebastian’s name.He answered on the third ring.“Haley,” he said, his voice already heavy with sarcasm. “What now? Don’t you have your billionaire boyfriend and your perfect little daughter to look after?”I blinked in disbelief. “Excuse me?”“You heard me,” he said. “You left. You made your choice. Why do you suddenly care so much now?”I clenched my jaw. “Don’t turn this around on me. I care because Jordan is my son. And I just heard from his teacher that he’s been hurtin

    The supermarket was bustling with activity as I stood in line at the checkout, my mind elsewhere. The events of the past few days replayed in my head, especially the encounter with the woman in the Chanel suit.Was I stupid to turn him down? Logan was offering me something steady. Safe. I wouldn’t have to carry all this alone anymore. But wasn’t that the point? I wanted to stop waiting for someone else to fix everything for me. I wanted to be strong enough to fix it myself."Ma’am?"The cashier’s voice pulled me out of my spiral. I blinked."Sorry," I muttered, fumbling for my phone to tap my card. "Just distracted."She smiled politely, handing me the receipt. "No worries. Have a good day!"I paid quickly and grabbed the bag of groceries. Outside, the wind tugged at my hair, and the sun felt a little too bright. I checked the time. It was nearly pickup hour. I needed to head to Lily’s school.As I pulled into the school parking lot, my stomach knotted. The woman in the Chanel suit fr
