All Chapters of BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE : Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Pepper POVCan a person truly feel this much happiness?I kept asking myself that question while I stared at my ring. Set in platinum gold, the solitaire diamond that sits at the center winked at me.I giggled and sighed a contented sigh.The door to the bathroom opened, and my fiancé, yes! I would like to call him that since we already sealed the deal. We are engaged! My mind shouted.“You look happy,” Victor said, advancing towards me.He was naked from the waist up, and his body was wrapped in a towel. He was drying his hair with another towel, and he was looking straight at me.I opted for honesty.“I just could not believe that we are getting married again.”“Why?” He looked clueless. “I told you I wanted to marry you again. Right at the beginning, I had been open about it. All I want is your readiness.”The sincerity in his tone touched me like nothing ever could.“Are you really sure you are ready to marry me again?”He sounded unsure.“Don’t you believe me? It’s offensive. May

Donny FergusonI watched my daughter leave in dismay. Her assistant, Shan Johnston, pressed her palms together and bowed toward me before she ran after my obstinate daughter.I called out her name. She raised her hand to let me know she had acknowledged the call, but she did not stop moving. I thought she would stop, but she didn’t.The realization that my relationship with my daughter is falling apart because of Victor Gunner made my blood boil, but I would not give Pepper the pleasure of knowing that.“Not now, father.” She told me before she left the restaurant.I can only shake my head at how the meeting turned out.I did not get the response I was aiming for.Pepper won’t believe me. She still took Victor’s side and defended him from me.She used to be an obedient child, but when it comes to Victor Gunner, she has always been ready to defy us.I remembered when she told us that she would be pursuing her studies here in the States. I knew right then that there was a possibility t

Samuel POVI watched in horror when Shan sought the approval of the elder Fergusons before walking out of the restaurant to follow Pepper. Prior to that, she gave me a bombastic side eye. The most venomous one that she has, giving me a clue that she was mad at me.She even flipped her hair in my direction when she turned away to let me know that she was angry at me.I watched her tug on Pepper’s arm. The latter looked back, eyes flashing with fire. They talked a little. Then, Shan snaked her arms around Pepper’s and they walked out like the two best friends they were.I don’t feel good seeing the expression on Shan’s face. Or the way she had acted toward me right before she ran after Pepper, so before I could think things through, I was already seeking out the permission of Donny Ferguson to follow after them.I was worried to see Shan angry at me.After I told Pepper everything and cleared Victor’s name, which I hoped Donny Ferguson would forgive me for, Pepper fired me.I already ex

Pepper POVI hid a smile when I saw the confusion on Victor’s face.He was worried, but at the same time, I could feel the relief in his embrace.What did he think? That after meeting my parents, I would suddenly break up with him?I wanted to call him out for not trusting me enough, but I don't want to add more drama to our relationship.We had been delaying our happy-ever-after for a long time now.Life is short.And the more you prolong the conflict, the longer the suffering. We could always choose to be happy.So right now, I am choosing my happiness.I was glad Samuel told me what he did, because now I realize that Victor is willing to fight for me, just as I was willing to fight for him.While he was busy driving, my hand crept to Victor’s side to grip his hand. He was surprised, and he turned his head to look at me.I smiled.For a moment, he looked dazed.“Eyes on the road, mister.” I reminded him.It was only then that he transferred his attention back to the road, but not be

Victor POV“Mommy!”“Daddy!”While Pepper and I were busy kissing, the kids slipped our minds.We were only reminded about them when we heard their loud voices while they knocked repeatedly on the door.We looked at the building that houses their classroom and saw several kids running around, meeting their respective parents.The knock on the car’s door became persistent. The children stood outside the van, faces all sweaty but grinning.But their grin slowly paved its way to annoyance when we didn’t open up immediately.Pepper anxiously ran her fingers through her hair. Then, she smoothed her dress before hurriedly opening the window.“Pull back a little. I will open the door.” Pepper informed them.The three did what she told them, and they stepped back, all the while they were watching her.“What took you so long?”“Didn’t you see us coming?”“Your face is all red. Are you sick?”That barrage of questioning added a red tint to Pepper’s cheeks.She brushed her hair away from her fac
