บททั้งหมดของ My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Olivia ~•~The next day when I went to work, I asked Ethan if I could go with him to New York for the deal. He was confused at first because I declined his offer the previous day, but when I explained the reason to him, he understood and agreed with me. Throughout the day, I couldn’t focus on anything. I kept on thinking about my life and how I spent the years arguing with my parents. I blamed myself for his death even if he died in a car accident. Maybe if I hadn’t left, things would have turned out differently. “You didn’t have to come to work today, you could’ve just called me.” Ethan’s soft voice echoed, interrupting my thoughts. I jerked back to reality and ran my hands through my head. “I couldn’t be at home alone, I needed a distraction.” I didn’t know how to deal with grief and I couldn’t be alone because I was just going to think about it continuously and cry my eyes out. The previous night, I couldn’t sleep and stayed up crying. Even during dinner, my kids noticed some

Olivia ~•~After multiple knocks, my mother finally opened the door. I was fuming with anger and I didn’t want to say anything disrespectful, so I just walked past her and went straight to the living room. Ethan stood up and reached for me as he saw me coming. “What happened there?” He asked with a worried expression registered on his face. I needed some fresh air, so I walked outside and he trailed behind me. My father just died and instead of them to focus on his funeral, they were trying to rekindle a love that was already long gone. “Are you okay?” Ethan asked as we sat down outside. I shook my head, fighting back the tears. “I’m not, I don’t even want to talk about it. My mum and Alexander are unbelievable. Maybe coming here was a mistake.” I sniffled, struggling to contain my emotions. Ethan didn’t say anything else, he just pulled me closer and I leaned into his body. I decided not to go back inside the house until Amanda and David arrived. While we were outside, I call

Olivia ~•~“Let’s go back inside and make arrangements for Dad’s funeral. That’s what we are here for.” I realized I needed to take control of the situation. I didn’t want to let my emotions get to me anymore. Amanda nodded in agreement and we both made our way back to the front door. As we walked into the house, Sandra was coming outside. She avoided eye contact as she walked past us but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to call her out for what she did in person. I grabbed her by the hand and stopped her from walking further. “How could you even stoop so low?” I asked, my voice dripping with disdain. Amanda wanted to stop me but I ignored her and focused on Sandra. Sandra was at a loss for words. “After getting pregnant by him, you still dared to show your face here,” I asked with a humorless chuckle. “Don’t you even have a little bit of self-respect?” “The both of you were divorced and you moved out to God knows where. So don’t blame me for going for what made me happy.” There

Olivia ~•~“So which of them is going to get a second chance at your love?” Maya asked and I laughed. I spent the whole afternoon with Maya, explaining what was going on in my life to her. Ethan was pissed at me because I was finally on good terms with Alexander. He felt like I was going to get back with Alexander even if I assured him that nothing would happen. Alexander and I have been talking a lot because he always wanted to speak with the kids. They were so happy when I introduced him to them during the holiday. According to Rowan, he could finally talk about his father to his friends in school. Riley wasn’t as excited as Rowan was. They spent a lot of time with Alexander in New York. I took them there during the holiday just like I promised. When it was time to return to California, they didn’t even want to leave. During the time we spent there, I ran into Sandra several times, she couldn’t look me in the face because she realized I knew the whole truth. I also met Jason.

Olivia ~•~“I’m just called to inform you that I’m having lunch with the kids, Alexander, and his parents tomorrow,” I said to Ethan as he answered the phone. “Hello to you too,” Ethan responded in a sarcastic tone. “I’m sorry.” I apologized, taking a deep breath. “Hey, how are you doing?” I asked. I was stressed out, so I just went straight to the point initially. Plus, I wanted to inform Ethan about the lunch before he would find out by himself. “I’m good, babe. How are you?” Ethan replied and I sighed heavily. “I’m good. I just had a long day.” I had to take the kids to the park as a reward for good behavior. And unlike the last time we went, nobody interrupted us, so we spent a lot of hours there. “Sorry about that, love.” He said sympathetically. “What time are you leaving for lunch? I could pick you up and drop you there.” That was a kind gesture but I couldn’t accept it. I was trying my best to keep Ethan and Alexander apart from each other. Without hesitation, I shoo
