Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins The Laugh
Lydia POVI almost didn’t go.That was the first thing I told myself as I stood in front of my wardrobe that evening, staring at the ridiculous number of clothes I owned while somehow convincing myself that I had absolutely nothing to wear.The comedy tickets were still sitting on my dresser.Two tickets.Two seats.A night away from work.A night away from the children.A night where nobody needed me to fix a crisis, answer an email, mediate an argument, or explain why an influencer sleeping with her best friend’s husband was somehow my problem to solve.And, apparently, a night with Theo.I picked up one of the tickets and stared at it.“You’re making this too complicated,” I muttered to myself.I was.So I stopped thinking.I chose a simple black dress, paired it with heels and a small bag, did my makeup, and left.The moment I arrived at the venue, I realized just how long it had been since I’d done something like this.There was a crowd outside, people standing in little groups,
Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins Tickets
Lydia POVT.I closed my eyes.Of course.Of course it was Theo.I picked up my phone and called him immediately.He answered on the second ring.“Good morning.”“Mr. Theo.”There was a pause.Then I heard the smile in his voice.“Lydia.”“When did we start exchanging expensive gift packages?”He laughed.“I was wondering how long it would take you to call.”“You sent me flowers.”“Yes.”“And a designer bag.”“Yes.”“A very expensive designer bag.”“I know.”“Why?”“Because I wanted to.”I leaned against my desk.“Theo.”“Hmm?”“I’m a single mother. I have bills. Children. Responsibilities. What exactly do you expect me to do when it’s time to return this?”“You don’t owe me anything.”“That sounds suspicious.”“It’s not.”“Then what is it?”His voice softened slightly.“Sincerity.”I blinked.“Sincerity?”“Yes.”“Sincerity as what?”There was a pause.“As me.”I stared at the phone.I hated that answer.Mostly because I understood it.“So you’re just sending me expensive gifts to pro
Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins Flowers
Lydia POVBy the time Dave finally left later that night, the house felt strangely quieter.Not peaceful.Just… quieter.I stood by the door for a few seconds after it closed, staring at the spot where he had been standing as if the argument had somehow left an imprint on the floor.Then I heard Eli’s voice behind me.“So… are we eating?”I turned.He was already halfway to the dining table.I laughed despite myself.“Of course you are.”Ava followed him, shaking her head. “You only think about food.”“I’m growing.”“You’ve been growing for years.”“That’s how growing works.”I looked between them.“Both of you. Dinner. Now.”They cheered as though I had announced a national holiday.And just like that, the tension dissolved into the familiar chaos of my children arguing over who got the bigger piece of chicken, Ava accusing Eli of stealing from her plate, Eli insisting that he had simply been “redistributing resources,” and me threatening to remove both their plates if they didn’t st

Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins Gone?
Dave’s POVI had been perfectly comfortable in Lydia’s living room until the knock came.The kids had spent the last hour talking over one another, dragging me through every detail of the new café they had visited, and I had been enjoying it more than I wanted to admit. Ava had shown me pictures of the pink rainfall installation three separate times, each time pointing out something different. Eli had somehow turned the entire conversation into a lecture about the science behind artificial rain, and I had let him, because I had missed this. I had missed the noise, the ridiculous arguments, the little hands tugging at my sleeve whenever they wanted me to look at something.Then the door opened.Theo.I watched Lydia brighten when she saw him.It wasn’t dramatic.She didn’t throw herself into his arms or smile like a woman in love.It was smaller than that.A shift.Her shoulders relaxed. Her mouth curved. Her voice lost that careful professional edge she sometimes used when speaking to

Theo POVI blinked.“Hello to you too.”“It’s almost ten o’clock.”“I know.”“Why are you calling me at ten o’clock?”“I need your help.”There was silence.Then a delighted gasp.“Oh my God.”I closed my eyes.“Anna.”“Are you finally going to confess?”“Can you please behave like a normal human being for thirty seconds?”“No.”“Of course.”She laughed.“So what happened?”“I want to ask Lydia out.”Another silence.This one was longer.Then she screamed.I immediately pulled the phone away from my ear.“Jesus Christ!”“You want to ask Lydia out!”“Yes.”“Like, actually ask her out?”“Yes.”“Not a business dinner?”“No.”“Not a thank-you dinner?”“No.”“Not some convenient excuse involving pickles?”“Anna.”She laughed so hard that I could barely hear her.“I knew it!”“You knew?”“Please. Theo, you’re not subtle.”“I thought I was.”“You’re a terrible liar.”I sighed.“Can you help me or not?”“Oh, absolutely.”I grabbed a notebook from the drawer.“Good.”“First question.”I uncapp

Lydia POVOh.That was… unfortunate.Because he was beautiful.In a sharp, expensive, dangerous kind of way.Dark suit.Sharper jaw.Dark eyes that looked almost black under certain lighting.Everything about him looked controlled.I clicked another picture.Still no smile.Another.Same expression
Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins Eight Words
Lydia POV“You’re getting married to Dave Ashton tomorrow by eight a.m.”Those were the words that ended my life as I knew it.One sentence.One Tuesday evening.One announcement delivered with the same emotional weight my father would have used to ask someone to pass the salt.For a moment, I hone
Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins Her Entry
Bernard stepped in, hands clasped neatly in front of him.“I apologize for disturbing you, ma’am. I came by earlier, but there was no response.”I rubbed my eyes. “I was asleep.”“Yes, ma’am.”He said it so respectfully that I almost felt bad for sounding irritated.Almost.“Would you like dinner?”
Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins Chapter 5
Lydia’s POVThe inside of the house was even worse than the outside.Worse, because now I had to physically stand inside it and accept that this was where I was expected to live.The space swallowed me the second I stepped in.The entrance opened into a massive living area with floors so polished I
