Edward’s pov

I knelt in front of her. “What’s your name?”

She glanced at me with timid suspicion. “Carmen.”

Her voice was quiet. She gave off a strange accent, it felt like she had lived in a lot of different places.

“Hi, Carmen,” I said slowly. “Do you know who I am?”

She nodded a little. “Mommy said you are daddy.”

My heart did something strange. It skipped a beat. It was burdened with a tender ache and felt warm at the same time.

I took a glance at Charlotte, and she was beaming like an idiot.

I got to my feet. “Come on. The car’s here.”

The hospital was quiet. When we got there, Doctor Lennox was in his private office. He stood up when I came in and shook my hand, thn smiled at the child.

"This must be Carmen, " he said.

She nodded and sat down on the chair beside Charlotte.

“Let's get started.” The doctor spoke.

He told us what he was going to do and then made the test happen. He got something that looked like a long Q-Tip and he wiped it gently on the inside of Carmen’s mouth

  • Winning My Ex Wife   Chapter 131

    Sandra’s povI drove that night to Eloise’s apartment as I needed to talk to her.I needed to tell her what that bitch Charlotte was planning. At least she would listen to me. The problem was that Eloise had always wanted to keep her place of residence secret but I had found the address and now I was going to her place.I had a huge headache thinking of the conversation I would have with her but I kept my cool.I parked in the street and got out as I admired how calm this place was. It must have cost a fortune to live in a place like this but she was a high-grade chef. She could afford it.My walk from the car to the apartment and then through the halls was horrifying as all I could think about was the way I would have to face her yelling at me. Yet I tried to calm myself that maybe she would forgive me after seeing all that Charlotte had done to her.I pushed the doorbell, heard the dull chime echo inside. For a second, nothing. Then the sound from a TV died and there were footsteps

    Sandra’s povI could see the look of concern on his face as I sighed and looked away.This wasn't good. I was supposed to tell him off, not bring him closer. My escape had led me to open up my dramatic side so that I would push him away and run. That was the only thing I could do to save myself at this moment.Either way, I started to hope that this moment wouldn’t last past how it should.I took in deep breaths as he asked me if I was okay.“Yeah… I am,” I gave off with a shaky voice like I was truly emotionally disturbed.“Then talk to me Sandra,” he said in a caring voice. “What is the problem?”I nodded and wiped the fake tears from my eyes.“Am I ugly?” He blinked, clearly taken aback. “Are you kidding? No. No, not at all.”I winced and forced more tears forward. “Then how come… how come nobody wants to date me? What’s so wrong with me?”This had him chuckling as he stepped toward me with a serious look and he placed his second hand on my shoulder.My shoulders weren’t naked but

    Sandra’s povThe moment I hung up, I wanted to scream and yell at the world for making me know such a horrible woman.I felt something tight in my chest but tried to calm my raging heart.My cover was blown and the wicked witch Charlotte had me in her claws.But that wasn’t even the worst of it. She had Eloise dragged into this too. Eloise, lovely sweet Eloise who’d only ever brought sunshine and her best efforts into people’s lives. Who shouldn’t have been near this situation in a million years?But somehow she was, and now so was I.I couldn’t help but burst into short laughter. “Oh god, what the hell am I even doing?”My past. The thing I had fought so damn hard to bury, it was like Charlotte had ripped it right back out into the light. I shook my head and turned the car on. The office wasn’t far, I could get back and do what she wanted and be back before anyone knew it.But every red light made my insides shrivel. Eloise’s face kept floating back in my mind, her kind eyes, her go

    Charlottes povBy the time I swung up to the house, I was weary of my thinking, fed up with having to smile.I just wanted to rest and have a glass of wine before falling asleep.I walked into the house and dropped the key on the counter by the door as I saw him sitting by the long dining table like he owned the entire world.He was eating his meat dinner like nothing bothered him and that disturbed me.It bugged me.I walked over to him, clicking my heels against the cold marble floor as I crossed my arms before I even reached the table. “You get home and you don’t even call me,” I said, my voice sharp as a knife.He glanced up at me, chewing and swallowing lazily. He didn’t jump at the sound of my voice. “Yeah,” he breathed out between chews nonchalantly. “And? Do you want a medal?”I hated how he spoke to me as I tried to be calm.I pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, plastering a smile on my face that didn’t reach my eyes. “And how was your day?” I asked sweetly.“It went

    Eloise’s povI couldn’t believe my ears as I stared at him in shock. Was he being serious or was this another joke to him?This better be a joke because there was no way I was introducing him as a father this early. Nope. It was way too early for this. I needed to keep him at arm's length if I had any fears raging within me.“You can’t just bring this up all of a sudden Edward,” I spat out in anger. “It’s ridiculous. We need to focus on something else.”“I already told you we’d take care of it and we will, but that’s all. Now I need to be with my daughter. Why is that so hard for you to understand?”“Are you even listening to yourself?” I grunted. “We have a crisis right now.”“I know it’s silly but I thought…”“Well dead that thought because you thought wrong,” I pointed at him. “Sophia isn’t ready for this. She’s not… she’s not ready for you.”He sighed and shook his head before leaning back as he stared at me with narrowed eyes.“I can’t believe you’d just treat me like this and th

    Eloise’s povI couldn’t sit still. I needed to do something or I felt like I would explode. No matter how I tried to think of this it didn’t make sense of how someone would target the food instead of the finances unless this were some personal vendetta against me.My mind suddenly went to Charlotte but I pushed it aside. There was no way she was the one who was the brains behind my pain. Nope. She was too stupid to do that plus I believed she liked to do things in a very open way. This was beneath her.I packed up my things and headed out of the room as I headed into the elevator that took me to the ground floor.While walking past some of the guests, I could see them staring at me with such hateful eyes. And who could blame them? If I had paid such an exorbitant amount of money for a meal and someone had told me that rubbish I would be mad too.I was lucky enough to escape as I got to my car and sat in there while strumming my fingers on the steering wheel.I needed to tell him.
