All Chapters of Chasing My Ex-wife Back : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

WYATT"I miss you, Ruby."I didn't know what got into my head when I hugged her. It was as if my body had its own brain, so it moved without my direction. Or, my longing was so deep that it triggered my body not to miss the opportunity. I was so close to Ruby, and all my senses were filled with her. Then, the desire came, and I couldn't stop myself anymore.Yeah, although she pushed me away right away.But at least I could hug her even for a second, right?"You look happy."Helen's words brought my mind back to the present. We were in the kitchen, preparing the food that Kevin, Laura, and I had intentionally bought on the way here. Our purpose was not to burden Ruby because I knew our presence was already one.Well, it might only be me. I could see how Ruby welcomed Laura and Kevin. Something I was jealous of.But I couldn't protest, could I? She accepted me here, something I was grateful for.One step at a time."Is that obvious?" I replied with a question instead while putting the l

WYATTSaturday was amazing.We were visiting Ruby’s house and playing with Austin all day.Yes, we came for lunch and stayed until dinner, so we had plenty of time to enjoy it. Still, I missed them and crave more time with them. Thus, I promised my son that I would return on Sunday morning and bring him to the park to teach him how to score the best goal.Surely, I wasn’t alone. I came with Kevin and Laura, as well as Helen, who was staying at their house over the weekend.So yeah, it was going to be another fun and memorable weekend.“What-““What-“ I took an abrupt stop at my words the moment I heard Ruby’s voice, which made me look at her. Damn. How could she still look beautiful with annoyance and fire in her eyes?She glared at me, and I couldn’t help but surrender and let go with her words. After all, what choice did I have?“What do you want, honey? There are fried rice, spaghetti, and lasagna.” Ruby asked by mentioning a few menus of the restaurant.It was lunchtime, so we sto

WYATT"Are you scared?" I asked Austin beside me. He was sitting straight, glancing at the doctor's room from time to time. It was apparent that he was nervous, as his turn was getting closer.Austin shook his head first, but then it changed to a nod. "Yes." He answered briefly without taking his eyes off the door."Why?""Hm... It must be hurt.""You mean the shot?"Another nod was followed by his head move to the door in front of us, where a girl came out and was being carried by her mother. And it happened that she was crying.I opened my mouth, ready to calm him, when Ruby spoke his words."It's just sting. Uncle Brian said so, remember?"By the way, Ruby sat on Austin's left side, so our son was between us. It was a perfect image, wasn't it?However, Austin shook his head while tilting his head to look at his mother. "It's not just sting, Mommy. It hurts." He stated his mind pretty firmly, but sounded pleading at the same time.Well, it was hard to counter it because it was true.

RUBYThis might be stupid, but I decided to accept the invitation. So here we were. In front of Brian's parents' house, waiting for it to open. And of course, Austin was with us."Oh, hi." A woman in her fifties opened the door and looked surprised to see me. But she still radiated warmth through her smile. "I see new faces here." She commented, her smile widening after finding my son."She is my friend, Mom." Brian introduced me. "Ruby, and he is her son, Austin.""So your name is Austin." Brian's mother completely changed her voice and even bent forward to talk to Austin.Austin nodded and replied, "Yes. My name is Austin.""Hello, Austin. My name is Susan. Nice to meet you, sweet boy." Then she moved her body to face me. "And nice to meet you, Ruby."I gave my best smile. "Thank you. Nice to meet you, too, Mrs Gadsdon. Brian said you have a birthday party and invited us to join. Is it okay?" I felt the need to explain our presence because it was her house, and we appeared without h

WYATT"Uncle Brian invited us to Uncle Daniel's party. There's also their parent and Aunt Jeslyn. It was fun, Uncle."After the idea of Austin invited Brian to play soccer with us, which was hard to object to, I had to hear the story of their time together. And what? Did they have a dinner party together?I closed my eyes at the sudden emotion rushing throughout my body. I didn't want to think about it, but it kept coming into my head scene by scene like a movie. And all the feelings were vivid as if I had witnessed it directly.Fortunately, I was still able to focus on my work and finish the meeting. Then I asked my driver to drive me to their city, as my mind and body couldn't keep going together any longer. "I don't know what kind of business you do in this city, but you look terrible." Harry, my driver, asked me the next morning. We arrived at the apartment, which I purposely bought to accommodate my stay in this city, past midnight, and went straight to bed. "Have you got enough
