Ex-husband Demands Remarriage のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

I’d been sitting here for over an hour, telling my mom everything, my life, all I went through, and even mentioning Parker, telling her she had a granddaughter.“You’re a grandmother, mom, you need to wake up and meet her.” I said, and I know nothing was proven yet, but like they say, when you know, you’ll just know. Right now I felt the connection — she was my mother.I cried when I needed to, laughed when it came to that, and smiled, but there was no response from her. Still, it was therapeutic, having her listen.I didn’t realize it at first, but it felt like I still needed to see my therapist. I hadn’t gone for over a year now, but just talking about all of this made me feel much better.“Now that I found you, I’ll finally focus on getting pregnant, and I don’t know if I even need to reveal my true identity to everyone, as the only important people from my past know the truth.” I chuckled, remembering how Rodrigo outplayed me.I kept telling her all about my life without even gett

I cleared my throat and walked in, the question obvious on my face.“Sit down,” he said. And I don’t know why, but I listened. I sat and watched him take his seat too, before he spoke, starting with a sorry—an apology that, if you ask me, meant nothing to me.“I know I can’t undo the past.”“Yes, you can’t. Now stop wasting your time apologizing when your precious family is waiting for you.”“You are my family.”“Oh, so serving you was part of the job as your family?”“I made a mistake.”“No, Oscar. You made mistakes. It wasn’t one, it was a million. And to think I’ll forgive you just because you’re sorry is pathetic.” I sounded like a little girl, but really, he didn’t deserve forgiveness.My painful marriage to Rodrigo, what Aaliyah and Madeline did to me—all of it happened because of him.If he could have stood up for me and protected me like a father should, this all wouldn’t have happened.“Now, if this was all that brought you here, then you’re done. Leave.”“Val—”“Don’t say my

Mom’s voice echoed in my head, and I could hear Millie join in, welcoming Theo into the family, which was strange considering she wasn’t actually a part of this family.After all, she was married to Miles and expecting his baby. The whole situation felt surreal, almost like I was watching a scene in a movie I didn’t audition for.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself before speaking. “You’ve got it wrong,” I said firmly.“It’s okay, baby. Mom gave us permission,” Theo said calmly. I turned to look at him, stunned. His expression was calm, almost eerily serious, and that’s when a flicker of doubt hit me. Maybe he was mental.“What are we celebrating?” Pablo’s voice cut through my thoughts as he walked over to Millie, kissed her hands, and then sat beside her.“He just proposed,” Mom said brightly, practically glowing with excitement.“Who?” Pablo asked, slightly confused.“Theo. He asked for her hand. Well, same thing, huh?” Mom’s face was radiant. “I have a wedding to plan.”“

“Ms Sterling? Can I let Mrs Roberts in?” the lobby man asked on the other end of the line.“Yes, please and thank you,” I replied. I placed the landline back on its base, then turned to Maggie and Parker. “Girls, I need you to give me the room for a little while.”“Why, Mommy? Is it Daddy?” Parker asked, nosey as always, her little eyes peering into mine with curiosity.I shook my head with a smile. “No, sweetheart, it’s business. It won’t take long, I promise. Besides, we have to get ready. We have a place to be.” Pablo had already said he was picking me up soon, and yes, I was considering moving into the Evans mansion, like Mom had requested.“Alright, Aunt, we’ll be in the room.” Maggie stood up and reached for Parker’s hand, but Parker refused to give it.“Honey,” I warned softly.“Promise you’ll take us on a date,” Parker said, always negotiating, her stubborn little chin held high.“Even better,” I teased, “you’ll have chocolate cake.”“Oh, don’t fool me, Ms Sterling. I’m big no

Alright, this was getting confusing. First, I was still married to Rodrigo, who I wasn’t even sure would be willing to give me a divorce.Then Carlos, whom I knew would come crawling back soon. Then Theo proposing. And now this? I mean, didn’t Pablo just want to set me up a day ago?“No.” I stood up and shook my head. “You’re kidding me, right?” I turned to Pablo with a smile on my lips, the kind of smile I thought would trigger him to break and admit he was pulling my leg.“You saw the DNA results.”“No, I’m talking about the marriage. You can’t possibly want to marry me when I’m practically your sister.”“Val, we are not related.” He let out a nervous laugh.“You can’t be serious.” He didn't sound like he was against it.“Okay, listen. This will be like one of those marriages. You know, an open marriage.”“I can’t believe you’re even considering this.”“It’s family, and I’m sure you understand. Mom is not well, you know that. Any stress—if I say no, she might go back into a coma.”“
