Semua Bab Winning My Ex Wife: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Edward’s povI knelt in front of her. “What’s your name?”She glanced at me with timid suspicion. “Carmen.”Her voice was quiet. She gave off a strange accent, it felt like she had lived in a lot of different places.“Hi, Carmen,” I said slowly. “Do you know who I am?”She nodded a little. “Mommy said you are daddy.”My heart did something strange. It skipped a beat. It was burdened with a tender ache and felt warm at the same time. I took a glance at Charlotte, and she was beaming like an idiot.I got to my feet. “Come on. The car’s here.”The hospital was quiet. When we got there, Doctor Lennox was in his private office. He stood up when I came in and shook my hand, thn smiled at the child."This must be Carmen, " he said.She nodded and sat down on the chair beside Charlotte.“Let's get started.” The doctor spoke.He told us what he was going to do and then made the test happen. He got something that looked like a long Q-Tip and he wiped it gently on the inside of Carmen’s mouth

Charlotte’s povI came back from the bar after meeting with Dr. Lennox. I was feeling good. I had done what I needed to do. He would listen to me sooner or later. He always did.But as I entered the house, my good mood quickly dropped.Edward was at the front door, already dressed for work. He was fixing his cufflinks. I saw his tie was a little crooked, so I smiled and walked closer to him.“Let me help you,” I said gently, reaching for his tie.I tried to straighten it, just like I used to. Just like a wife would.But Edward stepped back.He didn’t say a word.He didn’t even look at me.He just moved past me, opened the door, and walked out.The door closed behind him.I stood there frozen, my hand still in the air.That feeling… I hated it. Like I was invisible. Like I meant nothing.I slowly put my hand down and walked back inside. My heart was racing. Not because I loved him. No. I didn’t even know what love was anymore.But I hated being ignored.I hated being treated like I was

Charlotte’s povI was studying a red dress –slinky, low-cut, the sort of thing designed to fathom depths when I saw a man with a woman glancing at me.He was definitely married, conversing with a woman not his wife, helping her decide which dress to buy. I knew she wasn’t his wife–too young, too loud.Until I saw his hand.A circle.Wed.Even better. He was married.He looked up and saw me. Our eyes locked. He kept looking.I smiled.He smiled back, and then… he did something daring.He blew me a kiss. I raised an eyebrow and smirked. Bold. Very bold.I looked at the dress in my hands then back at him.He pointed towards the changing room. First curtain at the right corner. I understood.I nodded slightly.And I, myself, walking over.Waited within the changing room.It smelled of new cloth and heavy perfume. The music playing in the shop was low. My heart pounded fast, but not out of fear. Out of… excitement.I heard the sound of a curtain sliding to one side.He walked in. He did

Charlotte’s povI drove to Carmen’s school feeling good. I could feel the dress hugging my body in all the right places. I needed to look good. I didn’t know who I would meet that would take me away from Edward. I wasn’t his until he had done the bare minimum. For now, he was just the random guy who would be my backup. Until then, I would be faithful to him or whatever. It wasn’t like I had a choice.As I got out of the car, I could see so many people looking at me. But I didn’t mind. They would have to start getting used to seeing me like this.With a smile on my face, I walked into the school as people turned to me.Heads turned, and I enjoyed the attention.I reached the classroom and saw Carmen sitting quietly. She was drawing something again, probably her usual flowers. She looked happy to see me.“Mama!” she called and waved.Oh my dear. She was so precious to me. I would do anything to keep her safe.I walked in as one of the teachers stepped up to me in an aggressive way whic

Charlotte’s povThe moment I got to dr Lennox’s office, I knocked as he opened up and panicked when he saw me.“You shouldn’t be here,” he muttered as he looked around, looking for someone or anyone to be afraid of.“What are you talking about?”I entered and shut the door behind as he went to stand before me“Charlotte, what do you want?” he snapped.I smiled and rolled my eyes.“Oh relax. I am not here to threaten you. I’m only here to know how his treatments are going?”“Since when did you care about Edward?”“Since I knew that killing him would leave his money to me.”“You shouldn’t be here,” he repeated. “Edward is in the building right now, if he or anyone else sees you I can only imagine the questions it will raise.”I looked away for a moment and thought before turning back to him. “I know but I’m smart about it. I made sure he didn’t see me. I just need to talk to you.”He sighed and finally sat back down, rubbing his forehead like I was actually giving him a headache.“I ho
