All Chapters of Longing For My Ex-Wife: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The rest of the day passed in a gentle haze of emotions and quiet moments. Anika stayed glued to Maya’s side, holding her hand as if afraid that letting go would somehow make her disappear again. Maya, still overwhelmed by the turn of events, held her close, as though anchoring herself to this precious reality. The Denovans had kindly invited Maya to stay for dinner. Though she was hesitant at first, still unsure of how everything would settle, their warmth reassured her. The house was quiet, filled only with the soft sounds of the evening, and Maya found herself seated at the same table where Anika had eaten so many meals — where she had grown, laughed, and been loved. They ate a simple but comforting meal, with Anika chattering happily beside Maya, telling her about her favorite books, her drawings, and how she once won a prize at school for writing a story about a magical garden. Maya listened to every word as if it were music, drinking in the sound of her daughter’s voice, the

The morning was calm, the air crisp and quiet as Maya stepped out of the car, a bouquet of fresh lilies and white roses cradled in her arms. A gentle breeze stirred the leaves of the trees lining the hospital courtyard, and the building loomed ahead, tall and still, its glass doors reflecting the soft light of the day.Maya stepped out of the car, a bouquet of fresh lilies and white roses cradled in her arms. She stood still for a moment, brushing a hand over her dress to smooth the wrinkles and steadying herself.Her heart was racing—not wildly, but with a soft, fluttering rhythm she couldn’t quite ignore.Elias had messaged her earlier, letting her know this was his final follow-up visit. He’d been coming in for occasional checkups over the past few weeks, and now the doctors had confirmed that everything had healed well. There would be no more hospital visits after today.She told him she’d come pick him up.Of course, he didn’t ask. He probably wouldn’t have. But he hadn’t refused

The party was just days away.Preparations were in full swing at the Denovan estate. Staff bustled about with decorations, food tastings, and final touches, but amid all the busy excitement, Maya had something special in mind for Anika.That morning, she arrived at the Denovan home just after breakfast. Anika was waiting at the top of the stairs, her face lighting up the moment she saw Maya step in.“Maya!” she called, rushing down in a blur of energy.Maya knelt to greet her with a warm hug. “Are you ready, my little star?”Anika nodded eagerly, bouncing on her toes. “I’ve been ready since yesterday!”Maya chuckled and stood, smoothing a hand over Anika’s hair. “Well, today’s the day. We’re going to get your hair done, and then… just a little shopping.”She winked.Anika’s eyes sparkled. “Is this for the party?”“Maybe,” Maya teased. “You’ll see.”Before heading out, Maya helped Anika try on her birthday dress just to make sure it fit just right. The soft blue gown, made of light ch

The crowd slowly settled after the unexpected entrance. Soft chatter resumed, but many eyes lingered on the tall man who had just arrived.He stepped inside, his arrival quiet but commanding. He wore a tailored navy-blue suit that hugged his broad frame with sharp precision. His dark hair was neatly brushed back, revealing a high forehead and strong brow. But it was his eyes that drew attention—sharp, striking, and an intense shade of green that seemed to cut through the noise.In his hand was a rectangular gift box wrapped in deep green paper and gold ribbon.Anika, standing near the front of the hall with Maya and the Denovans, turned at the sound. Her face lit up instantly.“Pumpkin!” she squealed.Without waiting for permission or acknowledgment, she took off in a blur of blue satin, her little feet pattering across the marble floor as she rushed toward the man.Colton’s serious expression melted into a warm smile the moment he saw her. He bent just in time to catch her in his ar

Laughter rang through the grand banquet hall as the party continued into the late afternoon. Children ran around with balloon animals and face paint, the air filled with the sweet scent of vanilla cake and fresh flowers. The waitstaff moved smoothly among the guests, serving sparkling juice and bite-sized pastries on silver trays.Maya stood quietly near a tall window, sipping from her glass and watching Anika from afar. The little girl was full of life, dressed in her soft blue gown like a tiny princess. She had just finished cutting her towering birthday cake and now darted across the room toward her friends, her curls bouncing with every step.Maya smiled faintly, touched by the sight of Anika’s joy. She had promised herself she wouldn’t cry today, not when this day belonged to Anika. But just as she turned to place her glass down, her smile slowly faded.Across the room, she spotted Colton again.The same man who had spoken to her with such cold suspicion just earlier… was now cr
