The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 75: Her Man
Maya's POVThe engine cut off, and the headlights died. I heard the car door slam in the sudden darkness.A few seconds later, Lucas strode up the path in long, quick steps.His coat was open, his tie loose, and his phone was gripped in his hand. He stopped at the foot of the porch and looked at me, then at Carter.Lastly, he looked at the small space I had deliberately left between us, and disappointment clouded his features.I fought the urge to fidget, feeling like an underage girl whose father had just caught her making out with a boy he had warned her about.The disappointment on Lucas’s face soon turned to irritation, and then exasperation, but all those emotions were directed at Carter, not at me.I got up in confusion. What was going on tonight?"Lucas? What are you doing here? It's quite late," I asked him.He ran a hand through his hair, and relief crossed his features. "I know. I've been calling you for the past forty minutes. You didn't pick up. Then I called your mom, but
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 74: Rewriting the Past
Maya's POVFor a long while, neither of us said anything.It had gotten even colder now, and I wrapped my arms around myself, waiting for him to make a move to leave. He didn't. In fact, it looked like he wanted to say something else, but was hesitant to broach the topic.I kept my eyes on the dark street and my hands folded in my lap, wondering if it would be rude to tell him I was tired and wanted to go to bed.Then I wondered why I cared whether he thought I was rude."Can I say something about the past?" he asked suddenly."Um, I don't think that's a good idea. The past should remain in the past."He clearly didn't hear my reply, or perhaps he wasn't expecting one, because he continued talking anyway. The alcohol had made his voice softer, slower."What went wrong with us, Maya? Things were good between us, weren't they? You used to wait up for me to get back from work. We'd have dinner together, and talk about everything and nothing. I remember thinking... I remember thinking we
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 73: A Good Father
Maya's POVI got up to my feet, as did Carter. Ethan stood barefoot in the doorway in his Spider-Man pajamas, rubbing one eye with his fist. "Mommy, you didn't come back, and the dragon part is about to…" he began to say.Then he saw who was sitting on the step beside me, and trailed off mid-sentence. His eyes went large and round as saucers."Mr. Davis!"Before I could say anything, he shot past me and threw both arms around Carter's legs, hugging him tight. “Ethan!” Carter exclaimed.He didn't lift the child. Instead, he was looking at me, as if asking for permission.My tongue felt heavy and my whole body sluggish, as if I wasn't there, but was rather looking at the scene from outside my body.Then it hit me what seemed so strange about the whole thing. It was the fact that Carter didn't seem surprised that I had a child. A little boy in pajamas had just come running out of my house at midnight, and there was no shock on his face.He was only surprised that it was his son’s frie
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 72: Late-night Visitor
Maya's POVIt was almost ten at night when someone knocked on my door. I froze and dropped Ethan’s half-rinsed cup on the sink, wondering who on earth was knocking on the door at this time.Nobody visited at this hour because I didn't have friends here. Mom had gone to bed two hours ago. The only person who could be at the door was Lucas, but he almost always called before he came, and definitely never this late.The knock came again, softer this time, as if the person at the door was hesitant.I dried my hands and went to open the door, then froze in shock.Carter was standing on my doorstep.For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating. Why would he, of all people, be standing on my doorstep at this hour? Then I remembered that Ethan was in the living room watching a cartoon. My heart leapt into my throat. No, he couldn't learn about Ethan yet, not like this. I slipped outside and pulled the door closed behind me immediately, not caring if that would look rude."Carter?" My voice
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 71: What Leo Knows
Carter's POVLeo didn't brighten up on the way home either. When I asked him if he wanted us to get ice cream on the way home, he shook his head quietly."Mom says I'm not to have any ice cream.""Okay, but that's when you're with her, not when you're with me."Still, he shook his head and looked out the window. For the first time ever, it fell on me to carry the conversation. He simply responded with one-word answers, barely smiling. This was quite concerning for a child who laughed a lot, both at funny things and things that weren't even the slightest bit funny. Then when we got home, he wouldn't touch his dinner either. "What's wrong, bud?" I finally asked, crouching in front of him where he sat curled up small on the couch.At first he claimed that nothing was wrong, but I could see his lips quiver and noticed that he was desperately trying to hold back his tears.I didn't give up until he broke down crying. "Please, Daddy, don't let her take me. I don't want to go. Please, Dadd
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 70: No Bluff After All
Carter's POVMy phone was ringing off the hook, but I couldn't focus on work. The digital notification from my lawyers had been open on my screen for over thirty minutes: Intent to Relocate. I had read it over and again, unable to believe that Brooke was serious, despite her visit the other day. It was crazy to think that she had actually filed it.Of course, I was going to challenge it, but after being bitten in the ass countless times by the system, I wasn't sure I trusted them to work in my favor.Finally, after I got over my initial shock, I called Brooke. She let the phone ring for a long time before she picked up."What exactly do you think you're doing?" I asked without preamble.“Oh, I’m just packing up my stuff. Why? Did you need something?” she said with fake innocence.“What’s the meaning of this nonsense I received?”"Don't act so offended, Carter. I already gave you a heads-up, didn't I? I’m finally taking charge of my life for once. You should actually be proud of me. Y
