ELIJAH’S POV:

I was so surprised that I could only chuckle and step back calling my driver to go get it and in less than ten minutes he was with it. I kept watching tensed that Hannah might return and yell at me.

“You came back! And I smell the fries.” She said in a sing song voice with excitement and her face lit up like a child on Christmas Day.

I laughed under my breath and placed the paper bag beside her. “Don’t tell your mom.”

She giggled and took a huge bite, ketchup smearing the corner o

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Caught in His Charm

    MARY'S POV:​Yet another voice inside my head immediately argued back that all of those thoughts were purely based on hearsay. When had I ever become the kind of person who judged someone based on neighborhood gossip instead of trusting her own eyes? The Marl I had actually experienced firsthand was kind, endlessly patient, and genuinely thoughtful. He had helped me out of difficult spots without ever demanding anything in return. He had been so sweet and gentle with my little girl when she needed it most. He had stood up for me when the rest of the world looked away.​Then the louder, more cautious voice cut right back in.​So what if the rumors weren't true? He was still a charming, wealthy bachelor with an impressive life, while I was simply an ordinary woman trapped in a messy divorce, raising a child alone without any powerful background or safety net. Even if we could trust each other, we barely knew one another. We lived in entirely different universes. He belonged to a world o

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Just You

    Mary's POV: ​"If you talk to every woman like that, I can see how you've earned your reputation," I said, trying to sound completely composed while my voice stumbled over the syllables. ​The words came out breathless and uneven, nothing like the cool dismissal I had originally intended. My voice cracked slightly on the final word, and I felt a hot wave of blood rush straight to my cheeks. I wanted nothing more than to sink right through the ground, to disappear into thin air, or to pretend I hadn't just spoken with such embarrassing transparency. ​"Just you." He took a slow step back and flashed a gentle smile. ​It looked as though tiny stars had fallen right into his eyes. Otherwise, how could they possibly look so bright, so warm, and so deeply inviting that I felt an overwhelming pull to step closer? The soft corners of his eyes crinkled in amusement, his lips curved upward, and for a fleeting second, the entire room seemed to fade into a blur. There was only him, and me, and t

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   His Gentle Kiss

    MARY'S POV:​"Oh, I am just so glad you do not think they are childish or silly..." The heavy, tight knot that had been sitting squarely on my chest finally began to loosen, letting me take a deep, easy breath for the first time in minutes.​"Childish? Well, maybe a little bit too cute for your daughter's current tastes, considering I saw her collecting pop star stickers the other day. Kids grow up way too fast, do they not?"​He started picking up the larger items, the full-size wearable costumes designed to fit a person, and playfully held them up against his own shoulders to see how the colors looked against his frame. He lifted a bright red and blue Spider-Man costume, holding it right up against his dark shirt with a wide grin.​"What?"​The tight knot slammed right back down onto my chest with sudden, shocking force.​I had not even noticed that my own daughter's interests had shifted so drastically! Did that terrifying realization mean all my hard work had been a complete waste

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   More Than Ordinary

    MARY'S POV:His piercing gaze locked onto my eyes, so intensely focused that it felt like a warm beam of sunlight. I could feel the heat radiating from him, the sheer weight of his attention, and the way his eyes seemed to look straight past my nervous exterior.​I braced myself inside for a few sharp, cutting remarks.​I expected the polite dismissal, the forced smile, or the gentle letdown that would instantly confirm every single fear I had harbored.​"You made your own custom Disney collection? Oh, and classic superheroes, too. Wait a minute, does this little pumpkin carriage actually work? Do you seriously have an entire homemade princess squad right here?"​He looked genuinely excited, his posture shifting with eager curiosity.​His eyes were wide and bright, his voice rising with real, unfeigned enthusiasm. He leaned closer to the table, examining each individual piece with the type of focused attention that made me feel like I was suddenly the only person in the entire room. H

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Fear of Rejection

    MARY'S POV:​To bring all these little pieces together in one mobile display, I had even spent days modifying an old, battered motorcycle so the collection could travel around and be shown wherever we went next. That motorcycle had been a kind gift from an elderly neighbor who was moving away to live with his family. It was old and rusted, but I had looked past the worn exterior and seen real potential in its bones. I had spent weeks sanding away the rust, painting it in bright, cheerful colors, and building custom shelves, compartments, and hidden drawers with my own simple tools.​I truly thought it was a wonderful idea for our new plan: help my daughter regain her confidence and smile first, then deal with all our other problems once and for all.​But the exact moment I showed everything to Marl in the open light, I suddenly realized how painfully ordinary it all looked.​I had always believed that putting your whole heart into something was more than enough. That the pure thought

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Creations

    MARY'S POV:​I had been genuinely surprised. Deeply touched. And because of that, I had wanted to do something special to bring a smile to his face, too.​So I had put all of this together. These handmade creations.​They had not been thrown together in a rush at the last minute. They were years in the making, born from quiet moments of patience. My daughter had always loved cartoon characters, just like any normal kid who grew up watching television after school. But Alistair had never paid attention to what she actually liked, let alone bothered to buy her the toys she dreamed of. He was always far too busy running his company, attending endless meetings, or entertaining any of his friends.​Whenever I gently told my baby girl she could pick out any cartoon character she wanted, she would always sweetly tell me she did not need one. She had learned, even at such a tender young age, that asking for things only ever led to disappointment. Alistair always thought little girls should on
