My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 132: The Foundation
Catherine had been the foundation's executive director for three years when she presented the annual report at the board meeting in January, and Chloe sat at the table and listened to her speak about the organisation with the authority of someone who owned its direction, and felt something that was entirely positive and required a moment to identify.She was no longer the most important person in the room.Not marginalised, not replaced, but correctly positioned: a founder and board member who provided strategic direction and whose vision had shaped everything, but who was not the operational centre. Catherine was the operational centre. She knew the programme details, the beneficiary numbers, the staff challenges, the partnership negotiations, all the daily substance of a growing organisation, with a fluency that came from full immersion.Chloe knew the big picture and trusted Catherine with the rest.This had taken longer to genuinely feel right than she had expected. The intellectu
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 131: Empty Nest Begins
The house was quieter than it used to be.Not quiet, not yet, not with Marcus still requiring the full presence of parenting and Emma and Jack oscillating between independence and the baseline need for home to be reliably there. But quieter in the specific way of a household whose density had changed, one person removed from the daily count in a way that redistributed the atmosphere of the place.Leo had been gone for six weeks when Chloe first sat with the quietness directly, on a Sunday morning in October, standing in the doorway of his bedroom. Clara had kept it tidy in his absence, not changed, just maintained. His drafting table was clear. The fabric swatches were still pinned to the board above it. The streetwear samples that hadn't made it into his luggage hung on the rail in the corner.She stood there for a moment without going in.She was not sad exactly. She had a postcard from Leo pinned to the kitchen noticeboard, sent from Kyoto after his first week at the fabric manufac
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 130: Decisions
The acceptances arrived across three weeks in March, each one producing a response in the household that Leo bore with increasing difficulty.Wharton arrived first. Lucien read the email over Leo's shoulder at the kitchen table and said nothing for a moment, then said, with the controlled enthusiasm of someone managing their reaction: "That's a significant programme." Which was Lucien for: I want this for you and I am trying not to say so too loudly.Parsons arrived four days later. Chloe was in the studio when Leo forwarded it to her and she called him immediately, and in her voice was the same controlled enthusiasm, the same careful management, which Leo recognised as identical in structure to Lucien's and different only in direction.The London College of Fashion arrived the week after. Blair sent a voice note when Leo mentioned it, twenty seconds of genuine excitement followed by a recommendation that he consider the Paris campus of a programme she had heard about from someone in
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 129: Marriage Evolution
The moment Chloe identified afterward as the one that clarified things happened on a Thursday evening in February, when she and Lucien had dinner together for the first time in eleven days.Not the first time they had eaten at the same table. The family dinners had continued, loud and present, the full household gathered most evenings. But those were family dinners, managed rather than inhabited, each parent arriving from their respective days and navigating four children through the meal and the bedtime that followed, the conversation functional and the attention divided until the house was quiet and both of them were tired in ways that made a real conversation feel like one more demand at the end of an already demanding day.The Thursday dinner was supposed to be different: a restaurant, just the two of them, the kind of evening they had been meaning to plan for several months and had not managed to schedule until Clara had essentially scheduled it for them, appearing with Chloe's d
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 128: Riley's Departure
Riley asked for a meeting on a Monday morning, which was unusual.In fifteen years of working together, they had not met in the formal sense of scheduled calendar appointments between the two of them. They talked constantly, in the studio and outside it, in the natural rhythm of a working relationship that had long since become something else as well. Riley did not schedule meetings with Chloe. She appeared at her desk or called her mobile or sent a message that said can we talk and they talked.The calendar invitation, sent through the studio's official scheduling system, subject line reading Meeting - Riley Chen, was different enough that Chloe sat with it for a moment when it appeared.She confirmed it and said nothing, the way she had learned to give people the space to say what they were preparing to say without anticipating it in a way that changed what they said.Riley came in on Monday morning with the composed steadiness of someone who had made a decision and was not uncertai
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 127: Documentary Impact
Sarah's letter arrived on a Wednesday, two years and three months after the documentary's release.By this point the volume of correspondence had settled into a steady rhythm, manageable in a way the initial flood had not been: thirty or forty letters and messages a week, routed through the foundation's administrative team, sorted by the coordinator who had been hired specifically to manage the response to the documentary and Chloe's expanded public profile. Most were read and acknowledged collectively through the foundation's communications. A smaller number were flagged for Chloe's personal attention, based on criteria she and the coordinator had worked out together: letters where the situation was specific and urgent, where a personal response might make a material difference, where the person had asked for something concrete that the foundation could potentially provide.Sarah's letter was flagged.Chloe read it on a Thursday morning, at her desk in the London studio, in the hour

Blair's first fitting was scheduled for a Thursday afternoon. I'd deliberately arranged it when most of the team would be gone, not wanting an audience for what I knew would be an uncomfortable encounter.Riley offered to stay, but I sent her home. Whatever happened between Blair and me needed to h

I'd been working at Cross Luxury Group for three days when Travis found me.I was in my studio reviewing fabric samples with Riley when Rachel Kim appeared in the doorway, her face tight with tension."Ms. Thorne, there's a situation in the lobby. Security is asking for you."My stomach dropped. "W

The morning sickness hit me at six thirty, right in the middle of the design team meeting.We were reviewing fabric samples that had arrived from Lucien's Italian suppliers. Beautiful materials, exactly what I needed. Riley was explaining the production timeline while Margaret examined the weave an
