Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs! : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Andera's pov "Bye, Mommy." Timmy and Tiffany chorused. I breathed a sigh of relief. Tiffany's body temperature was normal, and she was elated to go to school I caught sight of the lipgloss glistening on Tiffany's small pink lips but I let it slide. After all my worrying yesterday, I'm so relieved seeing my little girl animated that I can't bring myself to reprimand her. Just as I was about turning on my heels to go to the car, Timmy rushed back to me. "Mommy, wait!" I stopped at Tim's demanding yell."What is it sweetie?" I squat on my heels. Timmy looks up at me from beneath those thick eyelashes, his gray eyes full of a certain kind of determination. "Is Aunty Rosa's brother coming over today?" He asked, with his hand placed on his hips. For a moment, I'm shocked. Shocked and amused. "You don't like him?" I hold back a smile. Timmy folds his small arm over his chest and shakes his head. Tiffany -whom I didn't notice had walked back to me and did the same- folding her hands

Thane's pov. If I wasn't in love with her before, I'm completely, utterly smitten now. Andera doesn't know it yet, but she's beginning to care about me and fall back in love with me, or why else would she go through the trouble of getting me out of that cell?Just a little more nudge and we will be back together. Andera and I can have that family she always dreamt about. Full of love and laughter and kids to dote on and spoil silly.The thought brings a smile to my face. I can already imagine having a little girl who would be daddy's angel and a boy to be mommy's love.My momentary happiness turns into wistfulness. Andera and I would have had this happy home by now if I hadn't divorced her after Anna found the heirloom in her bag. But wait a minute, now that I think of it, how did that even end up in Andera's bag? My heart was filled with so much resentment that I believed the worst of her. Could it be that she was framed? But by who? That's a mystery to be solved another day.A

Andera's pov. Everything is going smoothly. Well, everything except my love life. I haven't been able to meet Rosa's eyes since I stepped into the office. Guilt twisted my insides."Andera, are you listening to me? I've been trying to get your attention" Rosa said, her tone slightly aggravated. "Umm...Yeah... You were saying?" I lift my head from the computer screen I had been staring at, gulping as my eyes lock on Rosa's. She eyes me suspiciously. "Let's leave business aside first." She walks around the table, her olive skin radiating in her navy blue suit."What did you do, Andera?" My eyes suddenly widen in their sockets. She must have noticed the dark circle under my eyes since I came in three hours ago."What do you mean?" I ask feigning ignorance"I know that face; it's the same one you had that day on the beach when I forced you to wear a bikini. You have this look of self-pity whenever you feel you've done something wrong. It's all over your face now. Tell me the truth, p

Andera's pov. I sat at my desk, exchanging a couple of messages with Dr Rahim Rajah. The date for our appointment has been set, a week from now. Tiffany hasn't shown any signs of tiredness or weakness; my little girl has been her usual energetic self, hale and hearty. But I'm not taking any chances. Better safe than sorry, which is why we're meeting with Dr Rahim next week.I stretched my arms to ease my body from the stiffness that comes with sitting down all day. Rosa was currently on-site, overseeing the installation of a solar panel system for a tech company. They wanted to change their energy source to solar power to reduce their carbon footprint. After that conversation with Rosa, I have avoided Carol like a plague. He stopped by the day after I made my move, but I had Becky politely dismiss him. Fortunately, Carol has been busy with his photography job; he's usually not at home, and our paths have only crossed once. Still, the awkwardness between us remains. I know differen

Andera's pov.I stared down at the necklace around my neck, Carol had put it on me before dinner. While Rosa and the twins chatted, he was taking sneaky glances at me. Our eyes met a couple of times, and I instantly looked away. I had invited Carol over to tell him the truth, not to get swoon away but his gifts and thoughtfulness. When we finished our dinner and dessert- courtesy of Becky, Rosa moved the kids to the living room so they could all watch cartoons, but I knew she was giving me some privacy to sort things out with Carol. "First off, thanks for the gifts tonight. It's really appreciated." I began; Carol had a lopsided grin on his face as he leaned back into the dining chair. His tattoos peeked out from under his short-sleeved shirt, his jean trousers hugging his thighs, and gold earrings in both earlobes. Carol is a handsome man; I don't know why my body doesn't reacted to him the way I do whenever Thane is around me."Don't mention it, Andera. I am more than glad you lov
