All Chapters of Too Late, Ex-husband : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

She walked over and took Mimi away from the cunning lady.The little girl only looked more confused, glancing between her and Cora. “Mummy…”“Hey, Dear. How about we go down and get something to eat after washing up?” Violet asked.She wasn't a fool to eat anything offered by Cora. Seriously, she didn't know what Clyde was thinking.“But there's food, Mummy…” Mimi pointed towards the large table. “I think Aunt Cora wants us to eat them.”Violet nodded, smiling at the girl. “But Mummy plans to feed you all your favorites. None of them are here-”“Mummy, you're amazing!” Mimi's confusion gave way to happiness the moment she heard about her favorite foods.Convincing her baby was a piece of cake. Violet couldn't tell her baby outrightly that Cora was a bad person because her foolish father trusted the lady. Minutes later, Freya emerged from the bathroom wearing a towel. “Great! Food is here and…”It only took a single glance from Violet for Freya to understand what was happening.She

His eyes had to be seeing wrong.Clyde sprang to his feet, shock overwhelming him.That wasn't Violet and her friend.It definitely wasn't Mimi standing with them. Where was the limo he'd sent to pick them up?And where exactly was Cora?They not only arrived in a taxi, they were wearing faded jeans and blouses, and his daughter wore just another jumpsuit.Their makeup was more horrible than anything he'd ever seen. What the hell was happening?“Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Who are they?”“Who invited these kinds of people?”“Are they beggars?”“Who allowed them in here?”Clyde's eyes darkened, a fit of rage suddenly boiling inside him. Indeed, they looked like beggars, especially Violet whose hair was so messy and unkempt.Was this what Cora had been trying to warn her about? This cunning woman!“Becca, I hope this is not your daughter-in-law and granddaughter.” Olivia clicked her tongue. “Tsk, if not, your family's reputation ends here.”“O- Of course, not!” Rebecca exclaimed. “How c

Violet stiffened up, holding her breath. She dared not to turn back, due to their proximity. His question was out of the blue.Was it even necessary?“State a single reason why I should,” She murmured, staring at his reflection through the standing mirror. For a man who had cheated right in front of her, should there be any other reasons why she should give him her trust? She wasn't a fool. Violet wasn't a kid either. Five years ago, she knew what she saw, and she knew that he already knew she'd discovered. “My relationship with Cora isn't as you think.” Staring at her reflection too, he snaked his arm around her waist, holding her close to him.Violet struggled between ignoring his touch and focusing on his words. Who would even believe that?“Violet…” Clyde went on. “I still want us to be a couple… I mean it-”“I no longer want to be with you,” she whispered. “Is that too hard to digest?”And what the hell was he doing? Clyde leaned forward, holding her waist with his other

~Cursing under his breath, Clyde tugged at his necktie, yanking it off as he returned to the bedroom.The place was empty.Violet must still be inside the closet.Well, he'd think twice before approaching her now.Who knew if another bottle of perfume would be thrown at him? He removed his jacket and then his bloodied shirt and tossed them in the trash. The metallic stench from Cora's blood lingered, and he wrinkled his nose, fighting the urge to belch.Clyde stripped out of his entire clothes. He needed a long warm bath to get the dirt off him. Damnit! He couldn't believe how much blood she had lost. He still couldn't believe that Violet did that to her as well. Stepping into the bathroom, Clyde headed straight to the shower. He turned the tap on, letting the warm water fall on him, the effect gradually soothing his nerves. When he closed his eyes, his mind flashed back to the scene inside the closet. Heaven knew how much he wanted her, and how much he meant his words. The

Violet didn't realize that she'd been holding her breath.She literally staggered, patting her chest in relief. Her baby wasn't here. Thank goodness. She didn't even want to imagine what would have happened if these huge scary dogs had barked at Mimi. “Ah! Thank heavens she's not here!” Freya sighed in relief. “But we still have to look for her. I- I don't like how this evening is becoming.”Violet didn't like it either. She'd better find Mimi as soon as possible and keep her safe.“See, you worry too much.” Clyde gave her a helpless look. “I'll deal with that maid for thinking we're her playmates.”He hadn't turned around, though.The maid joined them, gasping for breath. “Y- Young Master, did you find her? I swear I heard the Little Young Miss-”“What's your name?” Clyde frowned at her.Violet wished the maid never appeared. It was too late to tell her to turn back.Although she was also mad at the maid for scaring the shit out of them, firing the young girl from her job should
