Todos os capítulos de My Cruel Ex-husband Wants to Reconcile with Me: Capítulo 71 - Capítulo 80

That night, after coming back from Theo’s little party, Jason drove straight to the apartment where Claire and Leon were staying.Claire had told everyone she didn’t want to live in Leon’s big, quiet house, so she decided to rent an apartment not too far from the city center.Theo mentioned they lived on the 16th floor, so Jason got out of his car, stepped into the elevator, leaned back against the wall, and watched the floor numbers tick up until it stopped at sixteen.He stood in front of the door, wanting to knock a few times—but he couldn’t. He was scared. Scared of seeing something he didn’t want to see.Scared he’d see Claire and Leon eating together, chatting like a couple. Scared they’d be sitting close, talking about their future. And worse, he was terrified of catching them in a moment of intimacy. Like maybe Leon would open the door wearing nothing but a towel, or Claire would show up in some sexy nightgown.So all he could do was lean against the wall outside their door, l

Claire wanted to get out of there as fast as she could—God, she hated this house. But just as she reached the door, two little kids suddenly ran toward her, nearly making her fall again. Luckily, she caught herself on the doorframe and looked down to see Calvin and Kimberly.It had been so long since she’d seen them. She thought about these kids a lot.“You guys!” Claire knelt and hugged them gently.“Auntie, you’re back! Kimberly and I missed you so much,” Calvin said, holding Claire’s hand tight.Kimberly hugged her around the waist, tears in her eyes. “Please don’t go again, Auntie.”Hearing that tugged at Claire’s heart. She softly patted their heads. “There’s something I have to do. I can’t stay here.”Kimberly quickly shook her head. “You can go do your work, but promise you’ll come back, okay?” Both kids clung to her tightly, scared she’d vanish again like last time—without a word, just gone.Calvin frowned, his voice full of frustration. “Dad’s the reason you’re not staying, r

“Well, go ahead,” Jason said when Claire told him she wanted to leave with Leon. His face clearly said he was relieved he didn’t have to drive his ex-wife home.Claire gave him a sarcastic smile. “Well, now you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing,” she said.Trying to smooth things over, Calvin quickly chimed in. “Auntie, Dad’s just not good with words. Don’t be mad at him, okay?”“Yeah, he actually wanted to take you home,” Kimberly added. “He just always says the opposite of what he means.”Claire gave a small smile. Those two were really trying hard to make their dad look good in front of her. She looked at Jason, who still seemed cold, then gently patted both kids on the head. “I’ll get going.”“Don’t forget to pick us up tomorrow!” Calvin and Kimberly looked at her excitedly.Claire nodded. “I won’t forget.” Then she turned and walked over to Leon.Leon smiled and said to Jason, “I heard she wasn’t feeling well, so you brought her here. Thanks for taking care of h

Claire went into her room, and a few minutes later, she came back out and saw Jason still there. She frowned. “Didn’t you say you’d leave after checking out my place? Why are you still here?”Jason was lounging on the couch, looking completely relaxed. “I’m tired. Just let me rest for a bit.”Claire clenched her jaw. From the look on his face, she could tell this man had no intention of leaving.Then, there was a knock on the door.“I’ll get it, Auntie,” Calvin said quickly. But he froze as soon as he opened the door.Leon, who was standing outside, looked just as surprised to see him.After a pause, Calvin smiled and said, “Oh! You’re one of my dad’s friends?” The polite little boy made Leon smile a bit.Leon nodded with a gentle smile. “Yeah, I am.” He actually had seen Calvin before.“Come in,” Calvin said, stepping aside to let him in.Leon patted the boy’s head as he walked in, and when he saw Jason sitting on the couch, he didn’t look surprised at all.Claire, on the other hand,

The next morning, Claire purposely slept in a little later. When she stepped out of her room, she expected Jason to be gone—but there he was, still in the house, busy setting the table for breakfast."Why are you still here?" she asked flatly.Jason turned to her and smiled. “We should eat before starting the day, don’t you think?”“Where are the kids?” she asked, frowning. “Weren’t they having breakfast at Leon’s earlier? They were supposed to come here to get ready for school. Don’t tell me they’ve already left with Paul.”“They had to go back and change into clean uniforms and grab their school stuff,” Jason replied casually.Claire narrowed her eyes. “Wait—did you seriously tell Paul to bring all their things here last night?”“Yeah, he brought everything over.”Claire scoffed, clearly annoyed. “Jason, just be honest. What exactly are you trying to do? What’s all this supposed to mean?” Her voice was sharp now. “You hated me. You wanted me dead. So why are you suddenly bringing yo
