I was secretly grateful when Lily interrupted us last night.

She had woken up crying from a nightmare in her room, and I rushed to comfort her. It helped me escaping the conversation between Logan and me.

The truth was, I didn’t have the courage to continue that conversation.

Not after hearing Logan say the words I was most afraid of.

“There’s someone I like now,” he had said, his voice so calm, like it didn’t mean anything.

Like it wasn’t the end of my world.

I sat there, my hands clenching the edge of the couch, unable to speak.

My chest hurt, but I forced a shaky smile and nodded like it was nothing.

I wanted to ask him, "Who is it?"

I wanted to know, "When did you start liking someone else?"

But the words stuck in my throat, choking me.

Logan just stared at me, his mouth opening like he wanted to say more—then Lily's cry sliced through the tension like a knife.

I jumped to my feet.

“Excuse me,” I mumbled, barely able to breathe as I rushed to Lily’s room.

I buried myself in her sm

  • 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

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 123 Red handed.

    Haley's POV:The soft morning light slipped between the sheer curtains, casting pale gold shadows on our tangled sheets. Logan’s arm was draped lazily over my waist, and I could feel his steady breathing against the back of my neck.I didn’t want to move.His body was warm, firm, familiar. Everything I didn’t know I needed. I nestled closer, feeling his lips brush the top of my shoulder. He was awake."You're clingier than Lily this morning," he murmured, voice still thick with sleep.I smiled into the pillow. "You love it."He chuckled and pulled me tighter, burying his face in my hair. “I do.”I rolled over to face him, his messy hair and sleep-rumpled features making him look boyish. “What time is it?”He said while brushing a strand of hair from my face. “Let’s stay here. Just a little longer.”“You have meetings, CEO.”“And you&rsqu

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 122 Shocked out of wits.

    Haley's POV:Back home, I kicked off my heels and poured myself a large glass of champagne. I didn’t even bother waiting for Logan to join me in the kitchen. My hands were slightly shaking.Logan stepped in, loosening his tie. I took a long sip. The bubbles burned my throat. “Neither do I.”He leaned against the counter, watching me. His jacket was already tossed over a chair. His hair slightly messy from running his hand through it one too many times. “Are you okay?”I laughed. A short, bitter sound. “Do I look okay to you?”He didn’t answer. Instead, he walked closer and gently took the glass from my hand, setting it aside. “You’re in shock.”“I’m not in shock,” I snapped, then immediately regretted my tone. I let out a breath and turned away. “I’m… confused.”Logan was silent for a moment. “It’s a lot.”

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 121 Godson.

    The moment Logan spotted the man in the corner of the ballroom, he stiffened. “That’s him,” he murmured, squinting slightly. “That’s the doctor.”I followed his gaze. The man was surprisingly young—late twenties at most. Tall, with dark hair brushed neatly to the side, wearing a sleek black tuxedo. He stood alone, browsing the gallery of photos near the event’s entrance.“That’s the great Dr. Leo Aldrin?” I whispered, incredulous.Logan nodded slowly. “Yeah. He was always media-shy. Most of the published articles used old or obscured photos. I never realized he was this young.”As if sensing our attention, the doctor turned. His eyes swept the room—then locked on mine.He froze.For a long moment, he didn’t move. Then he took a slow step forward. His eyes remained locked on my face, his expression stunned, almost... haunted.He reached us in seco
