Semua Bab My Ex-Husband is Out of Control: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Sophia’s POV“Don’t worry, Sophia,” Kayla assured me, giving me a quick hug. “I have to go now, but I’ll keep trying to get in touch with Adrian. “I promise I'll have him call you as soon as possible.” She squeezed my hand reassuringly. “And I’ll update you on what’s happening with Adrian’s family.”“Thank you, Kayla,” I said, my voice filled with gratitude. Connor stepped forward, nodding at both of us. “I’ll drive for Kayla. Take care, Sophia.”“Thanks, Connor,” I replied, watching them head toward the door. My mind wandered briefly, wondering how close Kayla and Connor had become. But with everything that was happening, I pushed the thought aside, deciding to ask Kayla about it another time. Right now, my heart was a mess, and I needed to focus on Reese and on staying safe.I turned back to find Daniel standing nearby, a calm and protective presence. “You’re safe here, Sophia. I’ve got everything under control,” he said softly. “I asked someone to monitor your house. Most of the m

Sophia’s POVI woke up the next morning, expecting to feel the soft warmth of Reese beside me. Instead, my fingers brushed against cool, empty sheets. Panic surged through me, but then I heard it—the unmistakable sound of Reese's giggles coming from the kitchen. I quickly threw on my robe and padded out of the guest room.When I reached the kitchen doorway, the scene before me made my heart swell. Reese stood on a stool, her tiny hands busy mixing batter, while Daniel stood next to her, patiently guiding her movements. His deep chuckle mingled with her light laughter, filling the room with a warmth I hadn’t felt in a long time.“Good morning, Mommy!” Reese beamed at me, her face smudged with flour.“Good morning, sweetheart,” I replied, unable to hide my smile. “What are you two up to?”“We’re making pancakes!” she declared proudly, holding up the whisk as if it were a trophy.“Uncle Daniel’s teaching me,” she added, her eyes sparkling with excitement.“Looks like you’re having fun,”

Elijah’s POVSomeone knocked on the door of Julia’s hospital room. I was surprised to see Connor poking his head in. “Good afternoon, Julia, Mr. Sinclair…” he greeted. “Oh, hey, Connor, come in!” I said enthusiastically, happy to see another familiar face. Seeing the stack of folders he was carrying, I remembered that I’d asked him to bring some of my work here. It made me feel eager to do something I enjoyed, to snap me out of this boredom. “Oh, hello, Connor,” Julia greeted. Then seeing the folders marked with the Sinclair Realty logo, she turned to me and said, “You know what? You and Connor can use this room to discuss your business matters. I’ve been wanting to visit Grandma Evelyn for a while now, anyway.”“Oh, are you sure?” I asked uncertainly. “If you really want to go there, I can assist you.”Julia beamed at me, apparently pleased that I was so concerned. “No, it’s fine,” she eventually said. “Let me just call a nurse.” She pressed on a button beside her bed. In just a w

Julia’s POVI bolted from Grandma Evelyn's room, my heart pounding in my chest. I needed to act fast. As I hurried down the hallway, I heard voices coming from around the corner. I pressed myself against the wall, straining to listen.“We might need to administer a sedative to keep the patient calm,” a nurse was saying. “Here it is…”I peeked at their direction and saw that two nurses were talking, with a medication cart between them. My heart raced. I needed to act now before anyone found out that Grandma Evelyn was beginning to wake up. Before that old woman could talk about anything!Just then, a doctor approached the nurses and they began talking. To my delight, the three of them moved farther in the opposite direction, leaving the cart unattended. This was my chance. I moved quickly and quietly, my footsteps silent on the linoleum floor.The cart was just ahead, its drawers slightly ajar. I reached it and quickly glanced around to ensure no one was watching. My hands trembled as

Sophia’s POVI looked Reese in the eye and explained gently, “Sweetie, Daddy is still not well after his car accident. He has to stay in the hospital a bit longer to get better. But he will visit you as soon as he's feeling strong again.”Reese nodded slowly, absorbing the information. “Okay, Mommy. I hope he gets better soon.”“I hope so too, honey,” I said softly, feeling a mixture of relief and sadness.After dinner, Reese immediately settled in front of the TV to watch her favorite cartoons. It was still a bit early so Daniel and I opted for tea while we talked some more. “I'm glad to see you smiling more,” Daniel said, breaking the comfortable silence. “I'm really sorry you had to go through all this, but always remember that I'm just here.”I looked at him, his eyes filled with genuine concern and support. “I know, Daniel. And I'm glad to have amazing friends like you.”Honestly, I’ve been so stressed. First, I broke my arm and somehow caused Evelyn to suffer the accident that
