Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife : Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

Tearing my gaze away from him, I shifted my focus to Dylan's grave and knelt on the ground to clear the dry leaves scattered in front of his tombstone. While doing so, my mind prayed nonstop for my ex-husband to leave immediately. Just knowing he was standing only a few meters away from me was enough to fill me with unease and discomfort. Unless he left, I would never feel inner peace.Heaving a sigh, I forced myself to forget he was here, but it proved to be useless. Just like the lyrics of my favorite song go, "Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met.” I finally stopped trying. Instead, my eyes traced the name written on the tombstone. As it always did whenever I saw the name deeply carved into it, a heavy weight fell on my chest.It had been years since Dylan died, and yet I still wished he was here with me. I missed him so much that it hurt like hell to think I'll never hold him in my arms again.The sound of thunder shattered the silence inside the cemetery.

Grey Gabriel Bradford couldn't believe his eyes. Lily was standing at the door of the restaurant. He rapidly blinked, wondering if she was just a figment of his imagination. He couldn't shake her from his mind after meeting her in the cemetery that morning, and he badly wanted to see her again.Could she just be his hallucination? he wondered, his eyes still locked on the upscale door. Still, after blinking, the woman who occupied his thoughts the whole time did not disappear at all.Annoyed, he watched the couple follow the waiter to their table. Clearing his throat, he straightened in his seat and forced himself to look away. It must have been his thoughts of Lily that summoned her to the place where he was.He was actually glad to see her, but not like this. She was with a man who was obviously her date. Despite trying to ignore them, it still secretly hurt like hell.No man would ever want to see the woman he loved going out with someone else, especially when he could see that sh

“You still love your ex-husband, don't you?” Cain Lawrence asked quietly. But the words sounded more like a statement than a question to me.We were on our way home to Phoenix Manor when Cain spoke for the first time after leaving the fancy restaurant. He'd been noticeably quiet while we were dining. But despite his silence, I could feel him watching me silently, lost in his thoughts.The remark rendered me speechless for a good thirty seconds. Finally recovering my scattered wits, I slowly turned to him, but Cain didn't look back. His intent eyes were focused on the highway as he drove.“Why did you suddenly ask?” I inquired, wondering why he had made the remark out of nowhere.“Because I saw the way you looked at your ex-husband when you thought I wasn't watching you,” he whispered. I caught the hint of pain in his voice. A sudden surge of guilt rushed inside me.“Let's not talk about my ex-husband, Cain,” I pleaded. The topic made me too uncomfortable.“We should,” he insisted plai

My eyes opened, and I found myself staring at my mother's worried face. There were large bags under her eyes, indicating she hadn't slept well last night.“I'm glad you're finally awake,” she whispered, teary-eyed. She captured my hands and wrapped them tightly around her own. “You've given us all a heart attack after learning you're in the hospital. We've been terrified out of our wits, but we're all glad you're safe now.”“How's my daughter?” The words emerged from my lips, and Mom assured me that Isabelle was alright. Cassandra and Lia were at the house to babysit my daughter.A sigh of relief escaped my lips. I had nothing to worry about then, I thought to myself.“Are you feeling okay? Is there any part of your body hurting right now?” Mom asked, and in response, my hand went to my head. For the first time, I realized it was wrapped in a bandage.As if a button had been pushed in my mind, memories came rushing back to me. I clearly remembered every detail, particularly Natalia ar

Two days later, I was discharged from the hospital. I could only thank God and the doctor for it. Finally, I was going home.Despite being temporarily banned from the hospital, Grey had the audacity to visit me while I was still confined. Each time he visited, the guards on duty at the entrance had to drag him out, but that didn't stop him from sitting on a bench outside and waiting for someone kind enough to deliver the flowers and food he brought for me. Each time, the flowers mercilessly landed in the trash while the food filled my nurse's stomach.Because of Grey's presence, I hadn't been able to see my daughter for days! Those two days felt like an eternity to me. My parents couldn't bring Isabelle to the hospital because Grey might see her. Although he wouldn’t think that Isabelle might be his daughter, I was still afraid he would spot the little resemblance she shared with him.Isabelle might have inherited the unique color of my eyes and the Phoenix shape of them, but the rest
