Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

•Juliet POV•A cold chill ran down my spine, and a tightness grew in my chest. Standing in front of me was James. That same smirk that haunted my memories twisted his lips, and my heart began to race. I knew it. I knew what I saw at the opening party was him, I wasn’t losing my mind.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice unsteady as my eyes darted over his shoulder, hoping to see Edward. But he wasn’t there.He took a slow step closer, lifting the champagne flute in his hand and sipping like he owned the place. “What does it look like I’m doing here?” he said, voice low and filled with something darker than anger. “I’m here to crash your party… or maybe just to prove to you that you can’t go scot-free after betraying me.”I scoffed, masking the panic crawling under my skin. “Betray you? You and I both know I didn’t. I did everything you asked. And you think you could get away with hurting me?” My hands clenched at my sides. “You’ve forgotten one thing, James, I’m not alone.”He

•Juliet POV•"According to Eric, he isn't sure yet, but the little findings point at Mr. Anthony," I said.Vera shook her head. "Something isn't right. Why would Mr. Anthony do all that?"I stood up from my seat and walked over to her, placing my hand in hers. "Don't think about it too much, Vera. If he truly is the one, then he must have a reason for doing it.""What reason would he have?" Vera questioned, standing up. She paced slowly, clearly lost in her thoughts. "I need to call him." She rushed up the stairs and I called after her."Vera, don't call him!" I shouted, but it fell on deaf ears. She was already gone.I sighed, placing my hand on my waist, wondering if I had made the right decision telling her. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything until Eric was sure."My love, what's the problem?" Edward asked as he walked into the room, Jace still in his arms.I forced a smile and walked up to meet them. "I'm fine." I leaned in and placed a kiss on Jace’s forehead and cheek."Mommy,

•Juliet POV•I stared at the file in front of me and scribbled my signature before closing it. I placed it gently on the pile with the others containing the latest designs and leaned back in my chair, letting out a quiet sigh of relief. My neck ached slightly from how long I’d been bent over the desk, but it felt good to be productive.The soft creak of the door caught my attention. I looked up and smiled the moment I saw Edward walking in, with Vera right behind him. My eyes went straight to the small takeout bag in his hand and I smiled.“Thank you, honey,” I said, rising to my feet.He smiled and placed a gentle kiss on my lips before taking my hand in his. His touch never failed to warm me. Vera walked further into the office and set the folder in her hand on my desk, then scooped up the signed ones.“I’ll take these to the production team,” she said with a playful smile. “You lovebirds can have your alone time.”I chuckled as she walked out, shaking my head slightly.Edward and I

•Juliet POV•We sat in the office, with Edward and I seated across from the Chinese man’s desk, while Vera lounged on a chair near the window. I pulled Jace close, and he rested his head on my chest, my arm wrapped protectively around him.Vera had insisted we wait until we were certain the boy was no longer a threat to Jace. It had been nearly forty minutes when the door finally creaked open, making my head snap toward it. A boy stepped in, or rather, was pushed in. He was slightly taller than Jace and carried a proud, almost smug look on his face. His arms were crossed stubbornly as he hesitated to step fully into the room."Why do you always act this way?" the teacher scolded, giving him a nudge forward. He barely moved.Jace cringed against me, and I bent low to whisper softly in his ear. "I'm here, baby. He won’t hurt you."Edward's voice cut through the air, sharp but low. "So this is the boy who's been bullying my son. I didn’t know little children could be this cruel."The boy

•Edward POV•I breathed in the smell of caramel and turned with my eyes still closed. I searched for Juliet in the bed and pulled her close into a cuddle, but something wasn’t right.My eyes snapped open and landed on the unfamiliar room. I looked at the woman sleeping beside me, and froze. It wasn’t Juliet.I jumped to my feet, my heart thudding wildly in my chest. The lady stirred, blinking awake, and that was when it hit me like a nightmare, I was staring at Leyi.“Jeez,” I mumbled as my gaze dropped to my body. I was completely naked. A wave of heat rushed through me, not from shame, but from burning anger. I felt like I could set the whole room on fire with how furious I was. “What did you do, Leyi?”She smiled like this was some kind of joke. “It was such a wild night we had,” she said with a little laugh, standing up without shame. Her naked body flashed before me as she walked over to the bathroom.I didn’t look at her, I reached to the ground to pick up my clothes from the fl
