All Chapters of After Divorce, I Became A Hotshot Lawyer: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Josephine's POV “Mummy, your phone is ringing,” Sabrina said, as I pulled the car to a halt in front of her school.“Oh, thank you, baby,” I said, picking up the phone just as it stopped ringing. The caller was Alice and on checking further, I realized that I'd missed seven calls in total from her, which made me sigh.Checking my phone's settings, I realized that I'd inadvertently put it on silent.“I will call her back,” I said, before getting out of the car and going over to Sabrina's side.“Thank you, mummy,” She said, as I opened the door for her.“You are welcome, my love,” I replied, giving her my hand to hold before locking the car and heading into the building with her.Her teacher, Miss Gabriella, was standing at the entrance of the classroom when we got there.“Good morning, Attorney Perkins,” She greeted, to which I smiled.“Oh, please, Just Miss Perkins is enough,” I said. “Good morning to you too.”“Good morning, Miss Gabriella,” Sabrina said, and her teacher grinned.“

Josephine’s POV Walking into the office the next day, I sighed heavily when I saw Alice's vacant seat.Three days had passed since she got heartbroken, and within that short span, my best friend who used to be the life of the party had become a shadow of herself.She rarely smiled and I'd caught her zoning out innumerable times.Seeing Alice in such a vulnerable and despondent state, made me want to kill Kieran, but then again, I couldn't act like an illogical fool because I wasn't him.“Good morning,” I greeted Edison before going to my corner.“Good morning, Jo,” He replied. “Alice is still not coming today?”“I don't know. Let me message her,” I said, to which he sighed.“Can we not hire hitmen to end that jerk's life?” Kieran asked.When Alice didn't show up at work for two days in a row, Kieran had pestered me until I told him the reason behind her absence.I had previously told him that she was feeling under the weather.Thankfully when I told Alice that I'd spilled the truth t

Josephine’s POV “I can't believe you were about to get bent over in our shared office, Josephine,” Alice said, as we trekked to the parking lot together. “Are you ever going through let me live this down?” I groaned, unlocking my car, as my entire face heated up in embarrassment.“Never,” Alice giggled. “But really, had Edison and I walked in five minutes later, we would have met quite an interesting sight, wouldn't we?”“Whatever, Alice,” I replied, to which she beamed then exhaled heavily.“But in all seriousness, I'm happy things are going great for you both,” She said, as she unlocked her own car. “You finally got your man back and are going on a date with him tonight. I'm pretty sure we will be planning a wedding in three months tops.”“Isn't that a little too fast?” I asked, to which Alice laughed.“I'm one hundred percent certain that Francesco would marry you tomorrow if the opportunity to do that arises for him,” She replied, and my insides fluttered with pleasant fondness.

Josephine’s POV As I slipped my feet into a pair of kitten heels, Sabrina slipped into my bedroom, her eyes gaping in awe as she regarded me.“You look pretty, mummy,” She said, moving closer to me. “Can I use your lipgloss? It's so shiny and cool.”“Thank you, baby,’’ I smiled, retracting the pink lipgloss from the dresser. “And yes, you can use mummy's lipgloss.”Crouching to her height, I pasted a tiny portion of the lip gloss on her lips and she quickly brought her lips together, her little brows furrowed in concentration, which made me smile again.Francesco was right—Our daughter was the most adorable little girl in the universe.Speaking of Francesco, I couldn't help but wonder how things would go between him and grandma today.The thought had kept me up throughout the night, as I tried to imagine the worst thing that could happen, but to my utter dismay, I couldn't even think clearly.It felt like eight years ago all over again, when Francesco introduced me to his mother.Pus

Josephine’s POV Scooping up a portion of the sizzling mushroom sauce on the gas cooker, I poured it on my hand and quickly lapped it up, before it could trickle down to the floor.I hummed in utter satisfaction as the perfect blend of spices and vegetables in the sauce, soaked into my tongue, leaving a delectable taste behind.To think today was the first time ever that I was making mushroom sauce, and I'd really outdid myself with it.Just then, the sound of footsteps approaching, drifted into my line of hearing, causing me to smile subconsciously.I smelled his distinct cedarwood cologne before I saw him, and it made my pussy wetter than the ocean.Smiling as he wrapped his strong arms around me from behind, I melted into his hold and covered the pot.“Good morning, baby,” He greeted. “Did you sleep well?”“Yes, daddy,” I replied, without thinking, only to regret it as Francesco chuckled and spanked my ass, through the skimpy nightgown that I was currently donning.“It seems someon
