All Chapters of The Ex-Wife He Never Knew: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

After a filling lunch, Daniel and I went to the garage and took the SUV to the clinic to pick up Dr. Martin. When she reached the vehicle, Daniel opened the back door to let her in. She thanked him as she sat and Daniel closed the door, then got in the front seat. I asked, “Are you ready to see the shelter?” She smiled, “I am. I would love to hear about it while we’re on our way there.”I smiled, “I decided on the name ‘Runaway Angel’. It’s not just a shelter, either. We have a therapist on staff who is trained in equine therapy. We also have horses who are trained to be therapy horses too. We have an exam room and office for a doctor, but honestly, our doctor that we had chosen decided she wanted to stay where she was.”Dr. Martin smiled, “First, I am absolutely in love with that name. It’s so appropriate yet obscure enough to throw off the general public. Second, I love the equine therapy idea. I think that form of therapy is amazing in getting people to open up. Third, if this place

We took the elevator down to the first floor and walked to the back door and then outside. I knew she was taking us to the stables, and I could not wait to see it. Doctor Martin saw my excitement and asked, “Where are we headed?” I chuckled, “We are on our way to the stables.” She asked, “Animal therapy?” I nodded. She smiled, “I can’t wait to see it.” I chuckled, “I was thinking the same thing.”As soon as we reached the stable doors, Lori explained, “Inside this building is our animal therapy area. We have a therapist on staff who specializes in animal therapy for both children and adults.” Linda Jones asked, “Do you also have a trainer on staff?” I nodded, “We do. He actually sleeps in the stables at night. He wants his scent to be recognizable by all the animals.”Lori opened the barn doors and we all stepped inside. She yelled, “Goldie!” Just then, a beautiful Golden Retriever ran to Lori and sat at her feet. Lori smiled, “That’s a good girl.” She turned to us, “Goldie is a licens

After speaking with the guests, I asked the sheriff, “Well, what do you think?” He nodded, “You have my vote. This would be the perfect setting for healing. They have all agreed to give you all the licenses you need. They brought them, just in case you passed inspection. You can open for business immediately. I will be sending domestic assault victims to you tonight. Just make sure you let us know when you are full.“ I laughed, “We will definitely do that.”Daniel, the sheriff and I laughed out loud as we watched Lori running straight for me yelling, “Harley! We did it! We did it!” When she reached me, she hugged me tightly, “I’m so happy! All of our hard work has paid off.” Arnold Kelly, Department of Health representative, agreed, “You have no idea what you’ve accomplished. It’s very rare to get all of your licenses at the same time.” I smiled, “Thank you all, so much.”When they were gone, Lori got Doctor Martin set up for her house and office. Lori showed her the physician office a

When Doctor Cinthia Martin arrived at the new house with her boys, they all got out of the SUV and gasped at the sheer size of it. She smiled, “Guys, we will be the first people to live in this house. It’s newly built. We need to have a long talk about all the stuff that is going on after we are all done unpacking.”Her second-oldest child, Peter, sounding like he’d aged ten years, asked, “Do they have therapy here? Because I know I’m going to need it.” A tear rolled down her cheek as the rest of her boys agreed. She answered, “They do have a few types of therapists and doctors here. You will get to see them. Let’s get in the house.”When she opened the door with her fingerprint, her two youngest, twins Kenny and Kevin, got excited. Kevin asked, “Can we do that yet?” Cinthia laughed, “After we get settled in, we can go to the main house and get your fingerprints scanned.” Cinthia opened the door and they all walked inside.All the kids walked around the house slowly. Cinthia shook her

Harley POVIt had been two weeks since we opened the shelter, and it was nearly full. Daniel and I were eating breakfast when Lacey and Angela sat at our table to join us. Angela asked, “How are you feeling, hon?” Today is the grand opening of my jewelry studio and I was super nervous, “I’m so nervous, the babies are going nuts, and I feel like I could puke.”Daniel sighed, “Love, you don’t need to be nervous. You’re an amazing designer. You can handle anything that is thrown at you.” Angela agreed, “Harley, really? Have you seen the pieces in your gallery?” I shrugged, “I just hope they are good enough.” Lacey added, “You will do just fine. The pieces are exquisite.”I smiled, “Thank you all. I’m just anxious. It’s not a big deal.” Daniel put an arm around me and pulled me close, “You’ve worked so hard to make each item exceptionally beautiful. I know you will do well.” I sighed, “Well, it’s almost time to go, so I’m going to go to the bathroom, and then we can go.”A few minutes l
