Scarlett’s POV~

“We need to talk. Right now, Ethan,” I repeated, my voice louder than before despite the crack threatening to break it. The air was sharp with tension as Ethan and I stood there, eyes locked on each other. My face was firm, my jaw clenched with my eyes red-rimmed from tears. The pain of having to be apart from your son all because of a shithead like him and watching your son suffer all because of his negligence was unbearable.

What kind of father was he? If I were to count his sins and his accusations, then he wouldn't have any ground to stand on. His own guilt and wrongdoings would undermine his credibility and render his accusations against me baseless..

The last time I saw Eric at the hospital, Jasmine claimed I was a bad mother and that I had no right to interfere in Eric's condition.

She claimed to know what's best for my own son and Ethan stood by her, defended her and made me embarrassed.

Even after what he did in the past, he had the right to speak unworthily

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 50.~. We need to talk

    Scarlett’s POV ~>Ethan tore his gaze away from mine but I wouldn't deny that I saw a flicker of guilt in it. I sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, trying to process the mix of emotions swirling inside me. The guilt in his eyes was noticeable and it only fueled my frustration, knowing he had let our son down. Even as Dylan whispered comforting words to me, I couldn't ignore the rage that was stirring up in me. Those past memories flashed in my face like a scene from a movie— the arguments, difficulties of my pregnancy, his constant doubts, the tears, the feeling of being torn apart from my child.Everything was still fresh in my mind. I remembered the pain of giving up Eric, the sense of loss that had haunted me for years and now, seeing him lying on that stretcher, unconscious.. It was almost too much to bear.“Take a deep breath, Scarlett. I believe everything's going to be fine.” Dylan's words were soothing but it did nothing to ease the aching feelings in my hear

    Scarlett's POV~“Eric!” I screamed, my eyes going wide as I watched him drop to the ground with a dull thud. His eyes went closed, as he lost consciousness. Without hesitating, I left my spot, my heart racing rapidly. At that moment, I’d forgotten about my own daughter, and all of my thoughts were on Eric, an intense desire to see him unharmed.The atmosphere shifted, the once vibrant cheers from the audience turned into gasps of concern. Murmurs ensued as Eric’s classmates rushed to his side. Before they could get to him, some officials arrived at the scene, taking the kids to safety.They steered them away while Ethan, a few parents and some teachers surrounded Eric to check on him.“Eric!” I called once more as I weaved through the crowd, a mix of concern and curiosity on my face.Once I got there, I pushed a strand of hair aside to get a clearer view of Eric who laid on the floor, far from consciousness.I threw my hands over my mouth, my eyes widening in horror.“Oh, no.” I excl

    Scarlett’s POV ~“Scarlett.” Dylan called, his voice above a whisper. “Yes,” I replied, my words shaking slightly. Even as I tried to compose myself, I couldn't take my eyes off Ethan who stared at Eric with pride. His lips curled into a warm smile, revealing his perfectly straight teeth. As he raised his hand in the air, he gave Eric a thumbs up with his eyes crinkling at the corners.At that moment, I could feel the heartwarming moment of a father showing affection and approval for his son.The tender moment evoked something in me, but then, I pushed it aside, when I recalled what he did in the past.My heart became heavy with grief when I recalled the fractured relationship between Ethan and my daughter, Emily.The painful reality of their situation has been overwhelming.His preference for Eric over Emily was a harsh reminder of the worth of the child.It was obvious Ethan valued his son based on the idea of a legacy and his desire to have an heir to carry his family name.It h

    Scarlett’s POV~The atmosphere was filled with tension as the reporter’s question struck a chord in my heart Dylan's lips parted, as he darted his eyes between me and the reporter who was standing in front of me, her heels planted firmly on the floor. Her sudden question drew unwanted attention, every eye fixed intently on us. Murmurs ensued, the air thick with anticipation as the reporter waited for my response, our response.Dylan cleared his throat as he stepped forward, his face calm and collected. He took the mic from the lady, and with a warm smile, he replied, “Thank you all for your concern but Scarlett and I are taking things one step at a time. For now….”Dylan paused and then turned to look at me. His eyes crinkled at the corners as his smile returned. With confidence, he spoke into the mic, “Scarlett and I are prioritising our love and connection above everything else.”His hands slid down my waist, pulling me closer to himself. I leaned against his chest, a small smile

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 46. Fractured trust

    Scarlett’s POV~I didn't expect my question to cause Dylan so much discomfort. He sat there, his lips parted, muscle tensed as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat. I swallowed hard, wondering if I had just ruined a perfect moment by bringing a topic about his past with Ethan, my ex husband. What if he thinks that was the reason I suggested that we get to know each other better?But then, it wasn't bad that I asked. I deserved to know. I deserved to hear about his past with Ethan.Dylan reached for the serviette and wiped his lips with practiced ease. His expression turned guarded and he flashed me a warm but forced smile as he spoke, “Well, Ethan and I have once been friends. You guessed correctly.”I crossed my legs, nodding thoughtfully as I tilted my head to one side, my eyes narrowing slightly as the weight of his words settled in.He sat upright, searching my features, bracing himself for yet another question. He could tell that I was suspicious, curious to know about his past
