All Chapters of Too Late, Ex-husband : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The place sank into a deep deafening silence after Becca's last statement. There were shocked looks in the eyes of the spectators, especially Freya, who covered her mouth and gasped. Violet endured the burning pain, rubbing her cheek slightly.She should have seen this coming. She was just too slow to react. Becca loved bullying her and her favorite punishment was slapping her. She should have known that the woman would never change.“Just wait and see!” The woman went on. “Once Cora brings her back, I'm seizing her from your custody and entrusting her to a competent nanny.”Violet would have entrusted Mimi to a nanny if she wanted to. Well, she'd even forsaken her job in order to give all her time to her baby. For Mimi's sake, she'd turned down every job offer. How could the woman say that she wasn't capable enough?“You said it yourself, Becca.” Violet dropped her hand, her fingers trembling and she balled them into fists. “Mimi's your granddaughter while she's my daughter. Un

Would Clyde admit it, or would he not? Violet glanced at him, surprised at her own calmness.But five years was enough to lose feelings for someone.Staring at Clyde and Cora right now, locked in a tight embrace, she felt nothing. “Why aren't you answering?” Becca asked. “What's going on between you two? Are those photos real?”Seriously, Violet would rather be somewhere else instead of witnessing Clyde confess his love for Cora to his parents. She picked Mimi up and left the ward.The girl looked extremely sad and she didn't look up. Hugging her arm, she sniffled silently, about to sob.Violet had to stop that from happening. The last thing she wanted was seeing her baby cry. She sat down on a waiting chair in the hallway and sat Mimi on her lap. “Mummy, Aunt Cora is innocent…” The girl wasn't over the shock of seeing her slap Cora yet. “Please don't bully her anymore, okay?”Violet wouldn't promise that.As long as Cora kept on meddling in her life, she'd keep teaching her a l

…The Next Morning. Violet woke up to an empty bed. She wasn't even surprised that Mimi was awake already and had wandered off this early. She sat up on the bed, stretching her arm. But wait…Something didn't seem right.Last night, she'd been so overwhelmed with exhaustion that she went to sleep without minding her aching feet.It was so sore that the pain spread through her legs.But now, the pain was gone. The soreness of her feet was gone as well. Strange.She'd been walking around barefoot, and she even feared that she would find tiny bruises on them this morning. Letting go of the confusing thoughts, Violet left the bed and washed up in the bathroom. She changed into a dress better than what she wore yesterday to spite Clyde's family.Well, now that she'd agreed to stay here, she would have to dress and behave according to the family's rules.Scratch that! Pleasing Clyde or his family wasn't on her list. If he could sign the divorce before the one month was exhausted,

~The bowl of soup Becca had aimed at her ended up being thrown at her own husband.Violet couldn't believe the woman.The dining room was suddenly a mess with all the dishes sprayed with the soup. “I can see you've grown wings since you came back!” Becca shouted. “How dare you think you can challenge me!?”“Your authority in this house will only last for a few more years.” Violet wasn't cowering or giving in to her intimidation. “Why don't you get off your high horse so this place can have peace?”Honestly, she could no longer tolerate the woman's bullying. Just because she thought she was from a poor family, Becca treated her like trash. What if she discovered Violet was actually from a rich background? Would she have treated her differently? Wasn't that hypocritical? The bowl of soup didn't hit her, but the soup had stained her dress. Violet stood up, completely losing her appetite,However, Becca wasn't ready to let her go yet. “I will teach you not to disrespect me next tim

No way!Did she step into a thorn?Did Freya fall into a drainage, or was the fence so high from the ground that she broke her leg?Those negative thoughts bombarded Violet's senses at once. She trembled in one spot, lost at what to do.She couldn't just stand here though. Freya's screams would have alerted the bodyguards who were probably on their way right now. So she quickly climbed onto the fence to check out what was happening. The fence wasn't too high from the ground. Her best friend didn't break her leg either. She just happened to jump when someone was passing by. It was too late for Violet to hide because that person had seen her too. “Urgh, Vi! I told you to wait!” Freya sighed. “I heard you scream.” Violet jumped down anyway. She stared at the intruder who looked at her, and then Freya.His smile was so charming. He almost seemed familiar.“Well, he won't be our problem.” Freya shrugged and grabbed the guy's collar. “Hey, flower boy, don't tell anyone you saw us,
