All Chapters of Ex-Husband Wants Me Back : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Lessie's POV “Whatever,” Benjamin muttered and focused on driving.He didn’t look at me again, and I tried to ignore the small wave of guilt I felt. It wasn’t my fault, how was I supposed to know he’d take my words seriously?Just when I thought the day had already gone great, Benjamin suddenly made a U-turn and left the expressway.I couldn’t help but be curious.“Where are you going now?” I asked.“Shhh.” He gently placed a finger on my lips.Well, that shut me up.Besides, I could already tell where we were headed, it wasn’t hard to guess. So I stayed quiet, though I still wondered why he was taking us there.When he parked, he got out and opened the door for me. I stepped out carefully, still puzzled.I couldn’t hold my curiosity any longer. “Why are we here?”He had parked right in front of a beach.“To visit the beach, of course. Isn’t it obvious?” he said with a smirk.I gave Ben a sharp look. “I’m not blind, you know. I can clearly see we’re at the beach. But why are we here?

Lessie's POV“What did you just say?” Ella gasped, her eyes wide in shock.I looked down but gave a small nod. “It’s true. Freddie blacklisted my name,” I said, tears filling my eyes.“Calm down first. Tell me everything from the beginning,” she said, scooting closer and patting my shoulder gently. “The last time we talked about Freddie, you said he was done bothering you. So where is all this coming from?”I swallowed hard before replying. “Remember the day before yesterday, when I saw you all outside heading out to have fun? That same day, I went to Freddie’s office. We argued, and that’s what led to all this.”Ella blinked slowly. She still looked confused.“Okay, calm down and explain it properly,” she said, still patting me. “Why did you go to Freddie’s office in the first place? And how did it lead to a fight?”Her questions reminded me I’d skipped a big part of the story. I hadn’t even told her what happened at the hotel, that Freddie showed up out of nowhere and I had to hide

Lessie's POVThe next morning, I woke up to see Ella standing in front of the mirror, checking herself out.“Oh, you’re awake already,” she said softly when she noticed I had opened my eyes.“Mm,” I hummed while rubbing my eyes.“How do I look, Lessie?” she asked nervously.I rested my chin on my palm. “You look perfect. Go get that job, girl!” I gave her a little cheer with my elbow raised and smiled.“Thanks, babe.” She gave me a quick hug and rushed out.Nanny Adele had also woken up early, along with the kids. She said something about taking them out for a children’s concert. I wasn’t sure what kind of event it was exactly, but I agreed anyway.Now, I was alone in the house. Out of boredom, I grabbed my phone to browse the internet.After scrolling for a while, I got tired. There was no hot gist or interesting updates online. I even thought of chatting with Charlotte and the others, but none of them had replied yet.“They're probably busy with work,” I thought. It was work hours a

Jasmine’s POVThe voice was too loud and proud for us to just ignore.When I turned to look, I saw a lady dressed in a shiny, flashy gown. At first, I didn’t want to pay her any attention, not until I spotted that same annoying staff man from earlier. He was running toward her like a loyal puppy, wagging his invisible tail.“Who are you?” the flashy lady asked, rolling her eyes as she looked at him.Still shameless, the staff guy gave a silly grin. “I work here. I can show you around.”“Why would I want someone dirty like you showing me anything? Back off!” she snapped, stepping away from him when his hand got too close.Honestly, I wanted to laugh so badly!“Miss, what do you mean?” the staff man said, forcing a smile that didn’t look real at all.“I said back off!” she repeated, stepping away again like he had some kind of disease.Gosh, how dumb could he be? I smacked my forehead in shame just watching him.“Go call your manager! Only your manager is good enough to show me around,”

Jasmine's POV I pretended not to notice why the flashy woman suddenly got upset and kept talking.“Auntie, I’m still waiting,” I said sweetly. “Don’t keep little Jasmine waiting. I want to know what makeup you’re using!”I stomped my feet and pouted like a little kid.“Shut up, you brat!” she shouted.“I won’t!” I shouted back. “I want to be as pretty as you! Tell me your secret!”I knew exactly what I was doing. My words made it sound like she was only pretty because of her makeup, even though I could tell at a glance she was naturally beautiful. She should have known I didn’t mean it like that… but I said it in a way that pushed her buttons on purpose. Hehe.Before I knew it, she was right in front of me, face full of rage. And then, bam! She shoved me hard.“You little devil! How can your mouth be this nasty at such a young age? I even bought you snacks and this is how you act? Ungrateful girl!”After that, I didn’t say a word. I just scrunched up my face.Anyone who saw me could
