Semua Bab My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Haley’s POV:Some wounds didn’t just need time. They needed space. I needed silence and a breathing room.I once believed time could fix anything. That if you loved someone hard enough, long enough, it would be enough. But love wasn’t always the glue—it could also be the knife.Sebastian would always be a good father. I never doubted that. Even when I doubted everything else, even when I doubted myself… that part was clear.But it wasn’t enough anymore.Every morning, while I packed Lily’s lunch, I made a second box. Simple stuff—cut-up fruits, cheese sticks, his favorite peanut butter sandwich with no crusts.“Give this to Jordan, okay?” I would tell Lily, tucking the extra lunch into her bag.She always nodded seriously. “Yes, Aunt Haley. I give it to him at snack time.”One morning, I paused, watching her zip up her pink backpack. “Does he like it

By the time I returned to my bedroom, it was already past nine. Exhaustion tugged at me, but I couldn't sleep—not yet. There were moments too precious to risk forgetting.Flipping on the light, I connected my tablet and began sketching—each stroke capturing the memories Lily and I had made together. Her laughter as we baked cookies. The way she'd clung to my hand during her first school play. The quiet afternoons when she'd simply leaned against me, content just to be close.As I drew, I recalled the time Lily had insisted on making breakfast for me. She'd scrambled eggs, more shells than egg, and proudly presented them with a grin. "Best breakfast ever," I'd told her, choking down each bite with a smile. She'd giggled, "Next time, I'll make pancakes!"Hours slipped by unnoticed until my eyes burned and my fingers ached. But when I finally sat back to examine the finished illustrations, something warm unfurled in my chest. My fingertips traced the digital lines of Lily's smiling face.

Under Logan's arrangement, I stepped into his company's towering headquarters for the first time. I did not want to come here as I was scared to draw while people judge me but Logan said that, "You are too perfect to be judged. My company would love to have you on board."His words caused all the insecurities to vanish away and here I am, standing in his company.The sleek marble floors and high glass walls made me feel small. Everything here gleamed, polished, perfect, intimidating. People in designer suits moved with purpose, tapping away at their tablets or holding quiet conversations near the elevators. And there I was, in my soft blue sweater and jeans, holding a tablet and a thermos shaped like a cartoon bear.Logan smiled when he saw me from his office door. “Right on time.”“I was early,” I admitted, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. “Your employees looked at me like I wandered into the wrong building.” I mean, I have been here in past as well. But they did not think of

I stood outside the preschool gates, feeling like an outsider.My fingers clutched my bag tighter, knuckles white, and my heart wouldn’t stop pounding.I felt like I was on the outside of a world I once belonged to.Would he even want to see me?The last time I picked Jordan up, he hugged me so tight I could barely breathe. His little arms wrapped around my neck, his breath warm against my skin as he whispered, “Don’t go again.” And I’d left anyway. I told myself it was what I needed, that space was necessary. That I had to heal before I could be the mother he deserved.But now, I wasn’t sure he’d even look at me.“Are you Jordan’s mom?” a soft voice asked beside me.I turned quickly, startled. A preschool teacher with kind eyes and a warm smile stood beside me, her clipboard tucked under her arm.“Yes,” I answered, my voice coming out smaller than I intended. It trembled at the edges, like an apology.“He’s finishing snack time. You can come inside if you’d like,” she offered.I nodd

A few days had passed since that terrifying incident with Lily. My heart still weighed heavy with guilt, knowing that her condition had finally stabilized only to worsen again after Jordan's words. Lily was a delicate soul, and the weight of those careless comments seemed to have cut deeper than I expected.I had always tried to shield her from the harshness of the world, but despite all that I was failing miserably.I kept hoping Jordan had fully understood my actions—understood that Sebastian and I were divorced for good, but it seemed like he, just like Sebastian, thought my departure was temporary. I knew I had to find a way to talk to him about this, to make him understand once and for all.I sat in the living room, quietly waiting, when Logan finally came out of his study, his face set in a calm, composed expression."How is she?" I asked, my voice full of concern, hoping Lily had calmed down after the whole ordeal.Logan nodded, his usual stoic demeanor not betraying the tensio
