Semua Bab My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Haley's POV“Daddy, can you divorce Mommy?”I stood outside my son’s hospital room, frozen in place as his dissatisfied voice hit me like a hammer.I was stunned.My fingers clutched the doorframe tightly, and a sharp pain pierced my chest.What had happened?I had just gone to the doctor’s office to ask why Jordan had suddenly developed acute gastroenteritis.I had always been extremely cautious about his diet. His stomach was very sensitive—fragile even—so I always kept a close eye on what he ate.Thank God, he was now in stable condition.I couldn’t wait to tell him—and my husband.What did I do wrong?"Why would you say that?" Sebastian asked gently."Because Mom isn’t like Aunt Joey. She lets me eat whatever I want," Jordan said.Aunt Joey? My stomach dropped. She was back?Joey Mondéz. The woman Sebastian once loved. The woman who left him for a richer man and moved to France. When did she return?I clenched my fists, my breath shaky."Hey, buddy," Sebastian said in a calm voice

Sebastian had already left for work, but I couldn’t shake the heaviness in my chest. My mind kept circling back to the messages, to Jordan’s words, to the way Sebastian had hesitated instead of giving me a clear answer last night. Every moment, every breath, felt like a weight pressing down on me and that was suffocating.Just as I was about to head out, my phone buzzed with a message from Jordan."Bring me the tablet."No greeting. No "Mom." Just a cold command. Like I was nothing but a servant to him.I stared at the screen, my stomach twisting. He had never spoken to me like this before—not with such disrespect and such defiance. But what did I expect? He no longer saw me as his mother.A lump formed in my throat, my eyes watered but somehow I swallowed back my emotions and grabbed the tablet before I shoved it into my bag and headed out the door.Soon, I arrived at the hospital. The moment I stepped inside the hospital ward, I heard the clicking of sharp heels against the tile. I

I did not retreat. If my confession accelerated the collapse of my marriage, it only proved that my marriage itself had problems."Haley," he finally sighed. "I just didn’t want Jordan upset at his birthday party. I had no other intentions." He grabbed me. "What you said about Joey replacing you – I swear, Joey and I didn’t have sex.""You should have explained this to Jordan afterwards," I replied."I should have, but I was too busy. You know work suddenly piled up recently..." Sebastian explained.I opened my mouth to speak, but Sebastian exhaled sharply and rubbed the bridge of his nose, as if struggling to maintain patience. "Haven’t I always defended you?" His voice was low and firm.He was right. He defended me in front of Catherine and Jordan. I had no evidence of their affair.I let out a breath and finally said, "Come down to the restaurant with Jordan in an hour."Sebastian hesitated, seeming to want to say more, but ultimately sighed and walked away.For the next hour, I sta

"Jordan.. Jordan was in an accident." Those words kept on playing on a loop in my head. I don't know in which condition my son is and just the thought that he might be in some danger, it was terrifying.I rushed downstairs in a blur, my mind racing. I have no idea how I managed to walked down those stairs. Panic swirled in my chest as I realized the gravity of the situation. I looked around to hail a cab but there were no taxis in sight. I bit my lip while my hands trembled and I tried dialing Sebastian’s number. However, his line was still busy. I couldn’t wait any longer; Jordan needed me. I needed to do something to get to the hospital as soon as possible.I was about to dash out of the front door in search of a car when I heard the low hum of an engine. My heart skipped a beat as I saw the sleek black Mercedes pull up in front of our house. My breath caught in my throat—the person looked too familiar and suddenly it hit me. He was the same person who had helped me at the hospital.

Sebastian’s respect for me once again eased the pain Jordan had caused me. It was like a balm, soothing the wounds that his rejection had left on my heart. No matter how much Jordan pushed me away, Sebastian was still by my side. And that had to count for something, didn’t it?Now, all I needed to do was solve this problem."Sweetheart, Sebastian told me this might work."I sat on the edge of our bed, staring at the tiny pill in my palm. My birth control. For years, I had religiously taken it. To be honest, I did not want another child. Jordan’s birth had been difficult, both physically and emotionally. I had convinced myself that one child was enough, that I didn’t need to go through it again.But now, the cracks in our family were widening and this is the last thing that I can do to hold onto my family.Jordan barely looked at me. His love, his laughter, his warmth—everything he used to give me so freely—was now reserved for Joey. And it hurt.If having another child could bring him
