Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

BEATRICE:I could feel my ex-husband’s happiness as we drove to our destination. He was whistling all the way despite the location of Sebastian’s resort. He was chatty, which I did not know he was capable of doing. When we were married, he was not usually like this. His words were limited and I had a difficult time making him talk. Grayson, Drake, and I were in the backseat. His driver was driving the car. I thought he never had one. Whenever he visited us, I never caught a glimpse of him. When we were still married, he was possessive of his cars. He did not want others to drive it since he was treating it as his baby, but now, it was a surprise that he was letting someone drive it for him. People changed, Beatrice.Or maybe he only wanted to sit beside us. Or maybe between me and Grayson. The place that we would be visiting was already far, but my son was enjoying the scenery and was always pointing everything to his Dad and Drake was patient in answering any of those queries. I

BEATRICE:I was one hundred percent sure that my ex-husband was hiding something from me. But I will be able to verify it later when Christina will give me her findings. And the idea that I could not let it go despite already talking about it was also annoying. I mean, was this man important to me?“Deny anything for now. You may do it.”My phone beeped once again.Drake was throwing a murderous expression on my phone as if he was thinking it was Josh himself. "Go on. You may answer that one,” he growled while his eyes rested on Grayson’s hair. "I don't need your permission on whoever I am allowed to chat with. You're nothing but my ex-husband.""You must be happy reading his messages. Was he the reason why you are smiling now?"What? Back to that again just because I was talking about his secrets? “I don't know why we are talking about this.”Our exchanges were nothing but pure question and answer. Our voices were low as if we were having a chat, but if someone was listening, he w

BEATRICE:"It is also nice to see you wear one," Drake admitted, shamelessly. "But if not, it's fine, Beatrice. I'm not going to force you to. Who am I to do that?""Who are you, you say? You're my ex-husband, Drake and you will continue to be like that.”“I promise I won't forever be your ex-husband. And you can wear anything you want, Honey.”“So you wanted me to wear one for your eyes only.""You could say that. But I'm not forcing anything," he whispered, his gaze softening. "You should be. You don't have the right and I will wear whatever I like to wear. Let's go, Grayson.” Glancing over my shoulder, I said, "Be sure to put that bag in our room."He quickly followed as if he was our servant. As if he was our loyal dog. Everything he was willing to do for us was still a surprise to me. A billionaire and CEO was willing to become our slave? "Understood, Beatrice,” he retorted while he carried the three heavy bags full of clothes in his two arms as if they weighed nothing. My e

BEATRICE: I did not know why my ex-husband was saying those things and if he had the right to be jealous right now, given our past, but one thing was for sure: his jealousy...was a little bit making my heart flutter. No matter how many times I told myself to hate him, the other part won't listen. I felt my phone vibrate again. The notification would not stop coming in, but I did not bother to pick up my phone and read who was the one sending it. Let me enjoy my ex-husband’s reaction and the way he was overthinking a lot. "I don't think you have a say on whoever is texting me. We are divorced, remember?" I reminded him. “Whoever is texting me, you should not care.”"I know. But I still can ask you questions, Beatrice."I scoffed and turned sideways, facing him. "Questions and I have the right not to answer them."“Is it your suitor?” he asked quietly for the second time. "What if it's Josh? I did tell him that Grayson and I are going on a trip," I lied. Let him overthink it eve

BEATRICE:I mentally shook my head. What was happening to me? Don’t tell me...No! That’s not going to happen!“Grayson, we need to shower,” I declared, not wanting to entertain the thoughts that were running through my mind. It was a big no!“But, Mommy! Dad, please help me,”Drake was about to rescue his son, but I narrowed my eyes at him, making him shut his mouth. Understanding what I want, he nodded, and returned his gaze at my son. “I’m sorry, Son. We need to listen to your Mom. Mommy only wants the best for us. Please remember that.”He pouted. “Okay, Dad.” He stood and wiped the sands on his hands and the rest of his body. “I have to swim first. I love swimming, Mommy.” And he left us together.At the corner of my eyes, Drake was watching my son’s every move, making sure that my son was perfectly safe. When he did not become an excellent husband to me, he was an excellent Dad to my son. At least he excelled at the department. I no longer had to dictate his duties and respons
