All Chapters of Love me back, Ex-Wife: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Brielle came down the stairs quietly, her eyes holding a light that had been missing all day. She hurried to where he sat and smiled.“The results are ready,” she said excitedly, a wide smile stretched on her face.Ethan’s breath rushed out in a long sigh. His shoulders, which had been tense all day, loosened. At last. The end of Jessica’s charade was finally in sight. He ran a hand through his hair and allowed himself the smallest of smiles.“This is it,” he muttered. “Finally… an end to all of this.”He reached for his phone immediately, his first thought being of his mother. Vivian had carried the burden of shame and worry alongside him, and she deserved to know first. His thumb hovered over her number, but before he could dial, the device buzzed in his palm. Vivian’s name lit up the screen.“Perfect timing,” Ethan murmured before answering.“Ethan,” Vivian’s firm, commanding voice came through, “I am on my way to your house. I will call Jessica after this to join us. She needs to

The room was dim, and the heavy curtains were pulled across the windows. Brielle sat quietly on the edge of the guest bed. Jessica had come in like a thief in the night, moving like a ghost. But when Brielle’s sharp retort cut her down, Jessica’s eyes darted toward the door, realizing she was close to being exposed if Ethan walked in now.Almost instantly, her demeanor shifted, deciding to use a different approach. Her face twisted into a mask of outrage. “What are you even doing in my room?” she demanded, her voice rising as she began to shove Brielle toward the door. “Get out! You don’t belong here! This is my space, not yours!”Brielle caught herself, planting her feet firmly on the floor. “This is not your house, Jessica. You can’t order me around here.”Jessica’s hands pressed harder against Brielle’s shoulders, forcing her backward toward the edge of the bed. Brielle’s patience snapped. She shoved Jessica away from her. Jessica stumbled dramatically, falling to the floor with a

Ethan had spent the entire morning pacing in his office, restless energy refusing to leave his body. For days, he had been waiting for this moment—waiting until the weight of Jessica’s manipulations no longer hovered over him like a storm cloud. Now, with the air a little clearer and his heart lighter, he decided it was time to do something he had not done in a long while: take Brielle out on a proper date. Not as an obligation, not as a performance for the world, but as a man who wanted to win back the woman who still haunted his every thought.When Brielle returned from her shift at the hospital, she found a large box waiting on her bed. She frowned, curiosity tightening her brows. Gently, she unwrapped it and gasped at the sight. Inside was a beautiful blue dress, elegant and soft to the touch, the kind of fabric that whispered against the skin like silk. Nestled beside it was a small velvet box. Opening it revealed a delicate set of jewelry: a silver chain, earrings, and a bracele

The police station smelled faintly of coffee and disinfectant, the usual blend of late nights and weary officers. Brielle sat across from Officer Joe, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her knuckles pale from the pressure. Ethan stood beside her, his arms crossed, his tall frame tense with impatience.“Nothing?” Brielle’s voice broke, a fragile mix of disbelief and frustration.Joe sighed, sliding a folder across the table. “She must have known we’d try to check her phone. Every trace of data—messages, call history, apps—completely wiped. Whoever did it knew what they were doing.”Brielle’s heart sank. She leaned back in her chair, staring at the blank wall behind him. The image of Hannah’s bruised face, the sound of her fragile voice asking for help, rushed back into her mind. The phone was supposed to be their weapon, their chance to expose Jessica for what she had done. Now, it felt like sand slipping through her fingers.Ethan’s voice cut into the silence, low but sharp. “So yo

“I think I’m ready to tell Ethan about the baby,” Brielle said after taking deep breaths, her heart still pounding.“Oh…” Ella responded, her tone unsure.“What is it?” Brielle asked, her heart dropping at Ella’s tone. She didn’t expect Ella to be excited about the idea, but that certainly wasn’t the reaction she expected.“Honey, I’m just shocked. That’s all.” Ella confessed, making Brielle more nervous than she already was.“The reason you didn’t want to tell him about the pregnancy was because you felt he was too irresponsible to father your child and you didn’t want your child to be raised by someone like Ethan. Why the change of heart?” Ella asked, sounding genuinely concerned for her friend and future godchild.Brielle exhaled, “While I cannot say that Ethan has had a complete 360 change, I can say that he has shown a little change, and that is enough for me, Ella. It’s not like I’m accepting him back into my life. That chapter is closed, Ella. But, the child is his as much as i
