Semua Bab Dear Ex-Husband, I'm Only Here to Save Your Son: Bab 81 - Bab 90

I wasn't sure what to expect from the address Charlie had given me, but I went anyway. She wasn't the type to joke or pull pranks, so I could only assume it was something really important.“Is this really the address?” my father asked, standing beside me, eyeing the card in his hand suspiciously “A building full of offices? Does she want you to meet a lawyer here or something?”My plan was to come alone, but since he had offered to accompany me, I couldn't think of a good enough reason not to accept.“I don’t know.” I admitted, pressing the elevator button that would take us to the office Charlie had handwritten in the corner of the paper “She didn’t stick around long enough for me to ask, either, but… She’s alr

I knew it would be hard for me to watch Theodore's first day of school alongside Eden. I just didn't imagine it would be… This hard.I'd probably bitten off a chunk of my tongue after holding it between my teeth so many times to avoid telling the truth. After hearing Theo say that his wish was for Eden to become his mother, the guilt began to weigh down on me in an almost physical way.It wasn't news to me that Theo wanted to keep Eden in our lives forever. He'd been quite vocal about it since the day she came to live at the mansion, but now he seemed to have found the title he wanted to give her. Knowing Eden as I did, she probably thought our son would have become so attached to any woman who gave him the slightest bit of attention, but she couldn't have been more wrong.Every time Theodore asked me about his mother, all I could do was say that she wasn't part of our lives anymore, so there was no point in talking about her. Looking back, I think that was the moment I started to sink

“Uh…” Milo broke the silence, while I remained frozen there, unable to believe my eyes “I’m sorry, sir, but I’m afraid this table is already reserved for me and the lady. So, if you would be so kind as to…”“This is my table, now. I paid for it.” Connor growled, his voice hoarse as if he were about to explode inside as he took a sip of the dark liquid in his glass “Feel free to sit, though. We don’t want to leave the lady standing, do we?” His eyes raked over me with a mixture of jealousy and admiration, breaking my shock and replacing it with anger.“What do you think you’re doing…?!” I started to growl, but a female voice interrupted us.“Is there any problem?” With that question, I turned to see a waitress smiling at us, although it was very apparent that she was more nervous than friendly.“I think there might have been a mistake.” Milo was the first to speak, looking more confused than ever “I reserved this table this morning, but this gentleman seems to have done the same. Could

“Eden…” Connor gasped, his chair creaking as he was about to get up to come to me, but I held up my hands, stopping him."But you heard what Milo said." I sniffed "Sometimes love just isn't enough. And I know it won't be, Connor. Nothing can change the past. Nothing can bring Annie back or change the fact that I seem to have been the only one mourning her all these years. Besides, have you considered all the variables in this situation? Have you considered what would happen if we actually gave in to this feeling? It's not like in the past. You're the patriarch of the family now, and I'd always just be the nanny's daughter…"“And you think I care about that shit?” he growled “I didn’t care about that when I asked you to be my girlfriend when we were 16, and I don’t care about that now! I’ve wanted to

The moment she gave me permission, whatever little control I had left vanished, and I leaned over her completely. Hell, we were so close there was probably barely enough room for air, but I couldn't care less. I ran one of my hands around the back of her neck, tilting her face up so she could receive my kiss. Well, maybe it would be more accurate to say I was devouring her, my lips pressing fervently against hers and my tongue deep in her throat, as she released those soft sounds I'd missed so much.Tasting her mouth again made my blood boil and filled me with a mad need. I ran my hands wildly over her body, just as I'd wanted to do all night. Her curves seemed softer, even more succulent. Her smooth thighs and that perfect ass were begging for a good squeeze. She whimpered with desire as I did so, but I didn't gi
