Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back : Kabanata 261 - Kabanata 270

[Matilda]One week later."Aunty Julia!" The twins shouted excitedly as we walked into Julia's apartment.She immediately crouched down to their level, wrapping her hand around them."Oh no, my hand can barely contain both of you!" Julia pouted, circling her arms around the kids. "I missed you both so much.""We missed you too Aunty Julia." Aiden smiled, wrapping his tiny hands around her neck.I stood still, watching as she peppered their faces with kisses, like she hadn't seen them two days back."Aunty Julia, did you get the pizza for us? You said you'll get it if we come to your house." Austin added, already shifting his eyes toward her kitchen."How can I forget? That's impossible. I would never!" Julia pouted dramatically, stretching out her hands to them. "You want them now?""Yes!" They both chorused together. I shook my head, walking over to her living room. I plopped down on the couch, watching as Julia led them toward her dining table.I took a deep breath, throwing my head

[Matilda]"Yes...Hi," Kaden stuttered, staring right back at me. I bit down on my lips, my eyes shifting from his face to the bouquet he was clutching in his hand."Come in." I took a step back and he flashed me a smile before making his way in. I shut the door behind him, heading straight to the living room."How are the boys?" Kaden asked as he walked into the living room. I plopped down on the couch and he walked closer to me stretching out the bouquet to my face. "I got this for you," he mumbled and I almost scoffed. Like he hadn't gotten almost a dozen of those for the past week."Thank you," I said softly, taking the beautiful bouquet from him. I could already tell it smelled so nice and I wanted to sniff it so bad, but I held back, dropping it beside me.I shifted my eyes to him and he was still standing, his eyes not leaving mine. "What's wrong? Are you not going to sit down?"He suddenly chuckled, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I was waiting for your permission to do so,"

[Kaden] It’s been exactly two weeks since Tilda forgave me. Honestly, these past two weeks have been some of the best I’ve had in a long time. We’ve spent most of our time together. The kids also went back to school, and Aiden was excited about it—even though Austin didn’t want to go. He’d gotten a bit too used to being home and was moody all day when they resumed, even when Tilda and I came to pick them up. He wasn't as happy to talk about his day as his twin brother. I made sure to take them shopping almost every day after school just for a few hours, so they could pick out things they wanted and have as much fun as they wanted. Spending time with my kids and Matilda has been one of my happy pills. Even though Tilda was bent on not giving me a chance. I had asked her again and again and her answer has been a firm no. But I wasn't giving up. I will only keep hoping while trying everything I could for her to understand that I wasn't the man I used to be to her. I would occasionall

[Matilda]Why the hell am I angry? That is what I've been asking myself all through the day.We’d gone from the zoo to the amusement park, then grabbed something to eat at a restaurant, and Kaden still insisted we swing by the mall for a few things for my house.I just couldn't help the way my heart was squeezing so tightly. My hand hovered over my phone as I sat in the passenger seat. I was pressing absolutely nothing, but anything to keep Kaden from making conversation with me right now.The kids were chatting in the backseat, talking about one animal to the other.My lips pursed as I swiped through my screen, looking at nothing in particular."We should hang out before I leave the country!" The lady's voice echoed over my head again and I felt my heart squeeze even more.Hugging her wasn't enough for him and he had to give her his contact. I don't care that she lunged toward him. But he stayed still, he stood still until she was done hugging him, and pulled back. And what exactly

[Kaden]I walked out of the pharmacy, taking long strides toward my car as Tilda’s voice echoed in my ear. The way she sounded… if she was feeling sick, then why the hell hadn’t she told me earlier? And she just let me leave?I slid into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and pulled out, the low rumble of the car filling the silence. I’d been having a drink with Ryan when her call came in.My hand tightened around the steering wheel as I took a slow, deep breath. I hope she’s okay.I decided not to press her any further and that was the reason I left. She was avoiding me. It was obvious. I didn’t want to make her any angrier, not when I was still holding onto the hope of having her back.As her house came into view, I hit the remote for the gate, the metal bars sliding open. I drove straight to the garage, killed the engine, and stepped out, my pace quickening toward the porch. If she’d told me to use my spare key, it had to be serious.The moment I pushed the door open, I noticed
