Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-Husband Wants Me Back : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Lessie's POV My mouth fell open before I could say a word."You're always trying to make me angry, and I honestly don't know what to do with you. What is all this I'm hearing? I wanted you here with me, but you went ahead and left anyway—and now this? How could you still be with that guy up till now? Seriously?"I listened quietly as Freddie kept ranting, not even letting me say a word. Who does he think he is, calling me out of nowhere just to yell nonsense?I bit my lower lip hard. I wanted to throw insults at him, but everyone in the room was staring at me.Suddenly, Benjamin got up and turned on the light, brightening the dim room.“It’s late. I need to sleep. Let’s talk in the morning,” I said quietly, trying to hang up.“Don’t you dare hang up,” Freddie snapped, as if he knew exactly what I was about to do. “It’s late at night, and you’re staying alone with a man?”“What are you even talking about? What man—” I paused, then it hit me.Was Freddie talking about Benjamin? Did he

Lessie's POVI barely manage to say anything when I saw Benjamin stood at my front. He blocked my eyes from Freddie.“Mr Freddie, don't you think it's unethical coming into a lady's room?” he asked, “a night at that?” I bite my lower lip at his words. It was obvious he'd digest all the shocking news already.I watched as Freddie glance back at him. “Get out of my way!” he spat in disdain. Benjamin remained at my front. They both glare at each other and I could bet any moment from now could led to something bloody.Freddie was sure irritated because Benjamin had stood at my front, blocking his way of seeing me. I knew, but I didn't care.I would rather have Freddie out of my sight completely than merely having Benjamin helping with standing in front me.“Didn't know you're this annoying?” Freddie fell back on his seat with a slight smirk.“Also didn't know you're this type of person.” Benjamin retorted,“This type of person?” Freddie scoffed, “what do you mean?” Although Freddie see

Lessie's POV“You haven’t?” I frowned.The kids, who had been loud just a moment ago, suddenly went quiet. Aha, I knew I’d caught them. They probably thought I was upset—and they were right. Why wouldn’t I be? Hmph!James let out a small sigh, his face showing a look of surrender. That should do it.“Alright, we’ll forgive you, Mommy. But you’ve got a lot to explain,” he said.I didn’t argue. “Should we go inside now? It’s still cold out here.”But James stood his ground. “No, let’s talk out here.”“Okay.” I didn’t push it and sat on a nearby chair.“Mommy, that man said he’s your husband... does that mean he’s our dad? Are we right?” Jasmine asked, unsure.I paused, then nodded. “Yes, he’s your dad.”They already knew, so there was no point denying it.Jasmine turned to James, her eyes lighting up. “So it’s true! That voice we heard wasn’t our imagination! We really heard him—yay!” she shouted excitedly, jumping up.She almost dragged James up with her, but he quickly pulled his hand

Lessie's POV James nodded while Jasmine waved her tiny hand and blew kisses back, copying Nanny Adele adorably.“Bye, Nanny Adele,” Jasmine said in her sweet little voice.Nanny Adele gave one last warm smile before finally leaving. Jasmine’s charm was just too much, and I could tell Nanny Adele felt a little sad to go after that adorable goodbye.She probably only left because she remembered she had to get to the hospital.I watched her go, then turned to the kids, missing the mischievous smiles on their faces. My eyes were on the tray Jasmine was holding.“You should put that on the table first,” I said, standing up and gently taking it from her. She could only carry one tray, so I went to the kitchen to get the rest of the food.After setting the table, we all ate in silence. When we were done, I didn’t need to say a word. As soon as I stood up, the kids did too.They had heard me tell Nanny Adele that we weren’t staying here but going to Ella’s place.Jasmine was the happiest of

Lessie's POV “Why not?” Jasmine asked with a sniff.“Because we can all look for him together. I may not know where he is, but we can search for him,” Ella said, smiling at the idea.Jasmine and James looked at each other, silently passing a message.“How will we find him?” James asked curiously.“Hmm… we’ll have to figure that out,” Ella replied with a shrug.Then James said something that caught Ella completely off guard.“Our dad came yesterday.”“What?” Ella looked shocked again.I sighed. Poor Ella, she was really getting hit with a lot today. First, finding out the kids knew they had a father, and now this? That their dad had already visited? It was a lot to take in.“Aunt Ella, are you okay?” Jasmine asked, looking concerned.Ella took a deep breath and nodded. “I’m fine. But what do you mean he came yesterday?”“At Uncle Ben’s place, where we stayed last night,” Jasmine explained. “When someone knocked, our nanny rushed us into the bathroom, so we didn’t see anything. But we
