All Chapters of EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy.": Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The gentle brush of Atlas's body against her legs jolted Alexa from her reverie. Instinctively, she reached out and pulled him behind her, instinctively attempting to shield him from Catherine. Her nerves unraveled as her heartbeat intensified, the anxiety of Catherine potentially uncovering the truth about the twins gnawing at her. However, despite the turmoil within, Alexa's expression remained composed and indifferent as she faced Catherine.Meanwhile, Catherine's gaze shifted slowly from the boy to Alexa's eyes after she had tucked Atlas behind her. She scrutinized Alexa's features, comparing them to those of the toddler. There was no doubt that this was Alexa's child. Although surprised, Catherine couldn't help but feel a sense of fascination at how charming the little boy looked."He looks just like you, Alexa. What a beautiful boy," Catherine remarked, a small smile gracing her lips.In response, Alexa remained silent, her gaze locked onto Catherine's. It then dawned on her tha

"Elena," Alexa exclaimed in a panic, instinctively drawing her children close as the car slowly passed by them again. She gazed intently at the vehicle, hoping to catch a glimpse of its occupants, but the tinted windows of it thwarted her efforts. Despite this, Alexa's eyes remained fixed on the car as it exited the school grounds. "Hey, what's wrong?" Elena's worried voice snapped Alexa back to reality. "You called me," she added, searching Alexa's face for answers. The fear etched across Alexa's features was palpable, leaving Elena perplexed as she wondered what was wrong. Alexa blinked repeatedly, struggling to regain her composure before turning to face Elena. She opened her mouth to respond, but at first, no words came out as her mind continued racing with numerous thoughts. "Hey, are you okay? What's the matter?" Elena interrupted, snapping her fingers in front of Alexa's face. Nodding eagerly, Alexa replied, pulling out of her daze. "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. But did you se

Alexa's session with Jordan had ended a few hours ago, and now she sat behind her desk in her home office, sifting through significant information related to the case. Meanwhile, Elena entertained the kids in the living room with a TV show and popcorn. It was already past 7 PM, and although they had all had dinner, Alexa had skipped hers to focus on work. She planned to eat later, before heading to bed. As her fingers danced across the keyboard, her mind wandered back to her earlier encounter with Jordan. She hesitated, recalling the shock on his face when she revealed that she now had full control over his case and that only she could decide whether he would have the option for bail. The fear that flickered in his eyes filled Alexa with a sense of satisfaction. That was precisely what she aimed for; to make him feel daunted, to ensure he understood she held the upper hand in this game now. Despite her lingering hatred for him, she found a certain amusement in his reaction. The ses

Tyler escorted Alexa out to the waiting car after they informed Elena they'd be on their way. He opened the car door for her and closed it gently before jogging around to settle behind the wheels. Before he started the ignition, he stole a glance at her and complimented her once again. Alexa couldn't suppress the blush that rose to her cheeks and she shyly averted her gaze as she felt her stomach curling butterflies. Tyler was pleased by her reaction and he chuckled enthusiastically before revving the car onto the road. The drive to the venue was a tranquil one, but they barely said a thing to each other as their eyes did the talking whenever they met. Alexa looked at the window, several thoughts racing through her mind as she anticipated what tonight held. Tyler pulled by the parking lot of the restaurant nearly twenty minutes later. Upon arriving at the five-star restaurant he had booked for their date, he graciously pulled out a chair for Alexa as they made their way to their

Alexa was momentarily stunned as she heard his inquiry. She was fazed as her frown deepened. She hadn't seen that question coming, and she inwardly pondered the reason behind Tyler's inquiry. That was so unexpected."Huh?" Alexa finally blurted out after a moment of silence. Tyler's gaze was still fixated on her hopefully, patiently awaiting her response.Heaving out a deep sigh, Alexa shook her head gently, conveying her confusion. "I- I don't get it, why are you asking me that, if I may ask?"Tyler licked his lips and regarded her respectfully before starting. "I didn't mean to pry into your privacy, Lex, I just wanted to know...""I know, and I'm asking why?" Alexa interrupted him, impatience swirling within her.Tyler paused as he gazed at her. He then ran his fingers through his hair nervously and heaved out, trying to settle his unraveling nerves. "I really do like you, Alexa McKanne, and I want you to be my woman but I can't help but always think the reason behind your reluctan
