All Chapters of Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife : Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

(Ethan)Saying I'm angry is just me putting it out lightly, I was seething.Yesterday was like a dream, a blur to say the least, finding out that I was a dad and having to chunk down Ivy's words.I was a complete mess.But I was ready to put all of that behind me, now fast forward to this morning, I had gone to see my baby girl and I wasn't let in.Ivy had restricted me from seeing our girl.I called, texted but got no response.I've never felt pain as much as I did this morning but still I knew I had to give it time.She's probably having a hard time with everything that's happening.A knock comes to my door and Grayson walks in. “This came in for you sir,” he says, handing me a sealed envelope with a name I remembered all too well on it.I shift my gaze to Grayson at once. “How did this get here?” I lift my brows in question.“It was delivered a moment ago by an intern from Vinders and co.”Vinders and co, that's Ivy's law firm.I squint, tearing the envelope open, my eyes scanning t

(Ivy)“Don't you think that's a bit too much?” Bella gazed at me, her hands resting on her laps.“No, it's not.” I countered. “He was never to find out, none of this should have happened,”“But it did happen,” Bella quips back, clearly disagreeing with my logic. “And I— I honestly think you're being too hard on him, forbidding him from seeing Aria and issuing a restraining order?”My voice turns low as I breath out the words. “I don't want him near her,”“Clearly,” she retorts, and I hear her exhale. “Look sis, I once let my emotions becloud my sense of judgement and I wouldn't want you to make the same mistake as I did.” She says and reached out to take my hands.I force a breath down my lungs and fixed my gaze on her.She squeezes my hand gently, her expression softens as she holds my gaze.“I want you to think carefully if this is what's best for Aria, if you're not letting your fears deny her of the joy of having both parents,” she trails off. “I know Ethan has a reputation for bei

(Ivy)I spin around and there's Ethan standing by the doorway, his hand fully packed, flowers, and a big chunky teddy bear.I took him in, not sure how he was able to get those and still made it here in time.“Hey,” he says in a low tone, quickly shifting his gaze to Aria who's asleep.“Hi,” is all I say, peeling my gaze off him.This feels a bit strange to me but not entirely bad. I've never taken care of Aria alongside with a man before.The rare times Aria got sick, it was my grandfather’s assistant that came along with gifts in his stead, he was never fully present, always too busy.So that makes me wonder, am I being reckless, I don't want Aria getting used to this and then it just stops.Aria stirs a little, cutting me off my thoughts. But she laid back still.This was awkward, being here with him was nerve-wracking, yet I swallowed and say. “You can put it down over there,” I pointed to the table beside the bed. “She loves purple best, how did you know that?” I couldn't help bu

(Ivy)The doctor has assured us that it was safe to go home. So, I agreed for Aria to be discharged the next day.Ethan stuck around, making sure we have everything we need.I didn't ask him to, he just opted to do it himself.Yes, I could stop him but somehow I just didn't refuse any offer. I see the way Aria's with him, I see how happy she really is, what kind of mother would like to hinder such happiness?“Mommy, can Ethan get me ice cream as soon as I recover?” Aria had asked as I walked into the room after speaking with the doctor.“Sure, why not.” I smiled sweetly at her.She turns to face him with a giggle. “See? I told you she'd agree,” she says, her face beaming with smile.I love to see that smile on her face, it manages to make me smile as well.“Fine, but you can't have much though.” Ethan retorts, ruffling her hair gently. “Right now, we need to get you home,”She bounces up. “Yay! I don't like it here,” she replies, eliciting a slight chuckle from me.Ethan insisted on d

(Ivy)I was mad quite alright but how can I still be after learning he's dying, stage four, cancer.Tracy reaches out for my hand. “He really wish to see you, Ivy.” She says, her eyes darting on me. “I know he hurt you, with his lies and manipulation but he's still your family,”I whimper, not saying a word.I need time to process all this, to prepare myself to face him. I had sworn I'd never see his face again.I guess life has thrown me another curved ball.I look at Tracy. “I need time to think,”She doesn't hesitate to nod. “Sure, take your time,” she gives me a warm smile.*******I flip over for what feels like the hundredth time, pulling the sheets which feels rather too heavy up my body.I couldn't sleep. My mind was a mess.First, it was Ethan's weird attitude and now, I have a dying grandfather to worry about.All my anger towards him just vanished and now I'm filled with nothing but concern.I had always wondered why he's been quiet about me leaving LA, this is it then, he—
