Semua Bab After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets: Bab 141 - Bab 150

(Lydia)I woke up early today even though it wasn’t me who had to drop off the kids at school. I had left them at Thomas’ yesterday and came home in a panic after Ruby had called.The rest of the day was spent cuddling together with Ruby and Mama. We had watched a couple of movies and ordered in because we were just too lazy to get up and make something.It felt nice to just lie down with my family and do nothing. I did not have many chances to do that recently.I had also called Jonathan Nilson to let him know that I would be joining him for the tour. He was happy that I decided to come and immediately called a meeting of the cast members to discuss our schedules.Apart from Nathan Andrews, there were a couple more B-star actors who had a lot of fan-following. As for me, I don’t think I had any fans, however, the media had surely been interested in the kids because of everything that went down.I don’t know how, but Thomas took care of the people who were following the twins around a

(Ruby)I was in my room, preparing one of the pieces for the boutique I had hopes of opening soon when there was a knock on my door.“Come in!” I shouted. The door opened to reveal Lydia with a look in her eyes that I did not quite catch.“What is it?” I asked her, returning back to my work because I should have been starting on another piece today but yesterday we had spent lazing off and now I was behind my set time of finishing the piece.“You’re not too busy are you?” Lydia asked sheepishly as she came to sit on the bed beside me.“No,” I told her, then looked at her suspiciously, “Why have you suddenly started to grin so weirdly?”“I have something to show you,” she whispered, darting her eyes to the door. I know mother had come back from her chemo and was resting in her bed, so what had Lydia almost vibrating?“Did Thomas ask you to be his again?” I asked teasingly and received a smack on my head in return.“No!” Lydia said almost in a panic.“Chill, I was only joking,” I told h

(Thomas)Mabel and Miles were eating their mac and cheese happily.The meal was their favorite but what made it even more special was that I had cooked it with them. Making mac and cheese wasn’t a hard task but I hardly cooked for myself.Although cooking with my kids evoked a very different kind of joy within me; I felt warm from the inside, which I rarely felt until recently, after my kids and the love of my life came back into my life again.“Uncle Thomas!” Mabel called out to me, breaking me out of my daydreaming, “Can we make cookies next time?”Miles nodded vehemently in agreement. I grinned at them and acted like I was thinking hard about it. I had an index finger on my chin with my mouth pursed. “Let me see, what would we need for cookies?”“Oh, I know, I know,” Miles jumped up, raising his arms as he left the table to get something.“No running, Miles! And you don’t leave the dinner table without finishing your food!” I called out to him.He slowed down to climb up the stairs

(Lydia)The moment my eyes landed on Jack, it felt like the world was falling apart. My mouth fell open as I stared at him in shock.He took a seat right in front of a blonde girl and passed her a smile.What was happening?They were conversing together after ordering. Well, the girl was talking but Jack was nodding along, listening to her words.Was this a business meeting?But then again, the way she was batting her eyes at Jack, it did not feel like a dinner to discuss business at all.“Do you know them?” Nathan’s voice cut my attention from Jack and his company.I whirled around to face him, “Yes? Did you say anything?”“I asked you if you know them,” Nathan repeated his words, albeit a bit slower this time.An embarrassed smile crossed my face as I shook my head. “No, sorry. I was just looking 'cause the girl’s dress is just beautiful, don’t you agree?” I lied straight through my teeth. If I were to be honest, I would have to take another peek to notice what color the girl’s dres

(Lydia)For a moment, Thomas stood there frozen, as did I.The next moment I blinked and he was gone.“Excuse me,” I told Nathan and immediately got out of my seat. I couldn’t let him get away without letting him know that this was just a friendly hangout.I don’t know why it was so important for me to know that he had not misunderstood anything.Heart in my throat, I left the steakhouse without caring for any decorum but the moment my feet landed on the curb, Thomas’ car sped out of the parking spot.I watched it leave with a sinking feeling in my stomach. I went to look for my phone but realized it was in the clutch I had left back at the table.I felt like I had all eyes on me when I walked back into the steakhouse. I awkwardly smiled at the staff at the front who had probably seen me running out like a maniac.I didn’t regret it though, what I regret was that I had been too late.Thomas had left already.Just as I went to step into the main area of the steakhouse, I was stopped by
