The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) The Makeover
MARY'S POV: "This is way too much," I said, staring at myself in the large fitting room mirror. "No, that's called being fashionable," Marl called back from the velvet couch outside. "Now put it on, please." My beautiful self and Marl were at an upscale designer boutique, and I was currently trying on my tenth outfit of the morning. The store was filled with soft, warm lighting which was also gleaming at the glass surfaces, the air smelling faintly of expensive perfume on different products. Racks of designer clothes stretched out in every direction, each piece looking more elegant and fragile than the last. The sales assistants had long since retreated to the background, sensing that Marl had completely taken over the operation and that this was a private affair. I really hadn't expected any of this to happen when I woke up. After Marl told me last night that he had a real solution to my daughter's problems, he made a few quick phone calls and said a close friend of his could
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Just Listen to Me
MARY'S POV:I grabbed another spoon, dipped it in the pot, and put a tiny drop on my tongue. Sure enough, he was totally right. The soup tasted absolutely awful, a weird, sweet, hot mess that made my stomach turn right over. The flavors were completely fighting each other, the heavy sugar ruining the meat broth and turning the whole thing into a sweet disaster. I had been so lost in my own head about my daughter that I had reached for the wrong glass jar and poured in half a cup of sugar, and ruined the whole dinner.My daughter was going to be sitting at this table in fifteen minutes, and I didn't have enough food left in the fridge to start a new meal from scratch. I stood there staring down at the bubbling pot, my brain frozen as I tried to figure out how to fix it. I could try dumping in a ton of salt or pouring in water to drown out the sweet taste, but it was a total goner. It was always going to taste terrible, just a big visual reminder that I couldn't even keep my head clea
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) An Unexpected Comfort
MARY'S POV: Was it somehow my fault? Was it because of the total storm our lives had turned into lately? Was it because her father and I were splitting up? Was it from all the late-night shouting, the slamming doors, and the tears she wasn't ever supposed to see? Had she learned to bottle up her own pain because she spent months watching me try to hide mine? Had she decided that showing her feelings was dangerous, and that the only way to stay safe was to keep everything locked up inside her own heart? That thought was almost too heavy to bear. I was so completely lost in my own dark head that I didn't even realize what I was doing as I stood by the stove trying to make dinner. My hands were just moving on their own, chopping up onions, stirring the big pot, and throwing in seasonings without me looking at any of it. My brain was somewhere else entirely, running through a nightmare list of what could have happened on that playground. I imagined mean kids pushing her down, harsh
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Why Won't My Daughter Talk?
MARY'S POV:I stood there in the hallway staring at the bright screen, my mind spinning in a hundred different directions at once. Her favorite dress was stained and ripped. She was keeping her mouth shut. She wouldn't tell anyone what went down. And the nanny, who had been watching her for some days and knew every single one of her little habits, was genuinely scared for her.Could my little girl be getting picked on by the other kids at school?A cold wave of fear washed right over me. I had been so wrapped up in my own terrible marriage, my own deep pain, and my crazy fight to get away from Alistair that I hadn't even noticed something bad happening to my own child. I was so busy dealing with Vesper, fighting through the divorce papers, and trying to keep my own head above water that I had left the most important person in my world completely unguarded. In the middle of trying to save my own life, I had let my guard down with hers.I felt frantic with a heavy, sickening worry.
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Something Is Wrong
MARY'S POV:"Mommy, you finally came to pick me up!"My daughter's small voice rang out across the busy schoolyard, so bright and clear that it instantly cut through all the noise around us. She came running straight toward me on her short legs, her arms stretched wide and a huge smile spreading across her sweet face. The afternoon sun hit her hair, making it shine like gold. Her yellow backpack was bouncing hard against her back, and her little shoes were making quick scuffing sounds against the hot concrete with every single step she took.I dropped down to my knees, pulled her right into my chest, and pressed a hard kiss against her warm cheek. She felt so tiny in my arms, so fragile, like something made of thin glass. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, smelling the familiar mix of her shampoo, the fresh air, and that faint sweet smell of fruit snacks she always had for her afternoon break. She wrapped both of her little arms around my neck and squeezed me with all the sma
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Goodbye To The Old Me
MARY'S POV:The soft orange lights from the radio lit up the dark car which showed his handsome face as he climbed into his side.He pulled his door shut and rested both hands on the top of the steering wheel. He didn't turn the key right away. He just sat there in the seat and looked over at me with an expression I couldn't quite read as I shrugged.He pulled the car out of the drive, and we drove away down the dark road without either of us saying a single word about what had just happened to Alistair back in that house.The bright streetlights of the city blurred together outside my window and I love what I was looking at. We were driving down the exact same roads I had used for years, but tonight everything looked completely different. It felt like the streets belonged to a whole different person, someone I used to be a long time ago. The tall buildings passed by one by one, the streetlamps dropping big spots of yellow light onto the wet asphalt ahead of us.Just as the car h
