All Chapters of Ex-Husband Wants Me Back : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Jasmine’s POVJudie looked really frustrated. No matter how much she tried to explain, no one listened. It was like she was talking to a wall.“Fine, forget it!” she snapped, giving up on the crowd. She turned to the manager with a smug look.“You should do something. It’s your store, after all.”I rolled my eyes. She suddenly started acting all high and mighty just because she thought the manager would take her side.“Pfft. Coward,” I muttered under my breath. She didn’t act that bold when the crowd was on her case. But now that she saw someone she thought she could boss around, her pride came back.The manager looked nervous.“Miss Judie, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I can’t risk upsetting all these people.”“Why not?!” Judie’s face went pale.“Some of them are powerful or wealthy. I could get into trouble,” he said in a careful tone.Judie blinked in shock, then glanced around the crowd again.She started noticing what the manager was talking about. Some of the people re

Freddie's POV I pushed the thoughts aside for now. Holding my phone, I sat down on the couch.I had nothing else to do, so I started scrolling through some daily economic news.A few minutes in, I heard loud laughter coming from the entrance. It was clear someone was heading in.I slipped my phone into my pocket and looked toward the door. At first, I was about to say something casual, until I saw who walked in next.My face immediately turned cold when I saw my mom and Judie walking in together, laughing like close friends.“Mom, what’s she doing here?” I asked straight to the point.My mom didn’t even look at me. She just smiled at Judie. “Go ahead and sit down, dear. I’ll be back in a minute, I need to change clothes.”“Mom—” I tried to stop her, but she had already left the living room, leaving me alone with Judie.Annoyed, I looked away and didn’t even spare Judie a glance. I wasn’t about to argue with her, I’d rather direct that energy to the one who brought her here.Judie, of

Freddie's POV“Oh, it’s okay, Senior Freddie,” Dave replied with a smile. He didn’t seem upset at all. In fact, he looked kind of starstruck. “I’ve always looked up to you since our school days. I was just one class below you guys.”I nodded, feeling a bit uncomfortable by how excited he seemed.“Really, I’ve been following all the news about you since you left school. I wanted to know everything you were up to.”“Oh, really? Thanks,” I said with an awkward smile.“That’s enough, Dave. Freddie already gets how much you admire him,” Steve said, pulling Dave away a bit.I gave Steve a grateful look. Then I turned to Dave more seriously. Earlier, Collins had mentioned that Dave had something important to share, surely, it wasn’t just all this fan talk, right? That would be weird.“Dave, you were about to tell us what you came for?” Collins reminded him.“Oh yes, right,” Dave said, snapping out of it. “Actually, it’s about the upcoming school reunion next month. I heard some people from y

Lessie’s POVI remembered that Ella went for her interview the same day the kids followed Nanny Adele to the market.It was also the same day Benjamin visited.“It went well. They said they’d get back to me within a week,” Ella said.“Oh, that’s good news,” I smiled at her.We all sat together and chatted as the day went by. Two days later, something unexpected happened.I was in the kitchen when I suddenly heard Ella scream. Her voice startled me, and I rushed out, worried something was wrong.But when I saw her excited face, I relaxed. The kids, who had been playing in their room, also came out.“Aunt Ella, what’s the matter?” Jasmine asked, frowning.She clearly didn’t like that Ella interrupted her playtime. And if Ella didn’t give a good reason for her scream, Jasmine would probably stay upset.Even I was waiting to hear what the big deal was. I had left my cooking to come check, still holding the pan in my hand. If she didn’t say something important, I was ready to hit her light

Lessie’s POVElla laughed at my annoyed expression and continued showing off her swimsuit to the kids.“James, what do you think? Don’t I look good? I need compliments,” she said playfully.James just rolled his eyes and came to stand beside me.“Wow, James, you’re just like Lessie, no fun at all,” Ella teased.“Alright now, shouldn’t you all go swimming already?” I said, glancing at the pool, which had fewer people than when we first arrived.“Oh right!” Ella said, smacking her forehead. “I’ll be using that pool over there. It’s for adults.”I followed her gaze and saw the bigger pool, which had only adults in it. The other smaller ones were clearly for kids.“Okay, okay, go on,” I said, clearing my throat and waving them away.Ella paused and looked at me. “Why do I feel like you’re chasing us away?”Of course, I’m chasing you away! I thought to myself, but I didn’t say it out loud. If I did, Ella might just strangle me. Hehe.Truthfully, I just wanted a little time alone. The pools
