บททั้งหมดของ His Ex-Wife Came Back—Stronger.: บทที่ 141 - บทที่ 150

My breath hitched as I slowly rose to my feet so he easily tired over me, eyes locking on each other.“Dale, wha-what are you doing here?” My voice was low, barely above a whisper.I was so engrossed in him that I almost missed Emery walk over, take Donald with her and leave the house to thankfully give us privacy.“The news,” his tone matched mine, “I saw you defending me Chloe.”A small smile was my reply. “It was nothing.”“No, you don't understand,” he shook his head, taking a step towards me so the gap between us was cut short, “what you did today, no one has ever done it for me and-and I don't deserve such favor.”The color rose up my neck and ears, embarrassed by his comment. “I wasn't doing it as a favor. It was just my way of helping.”“Still,” his expression was filled with an emotion I had never seen. It melted my heart, “you took to risking everything for me. Thank you.”I waved a hand to brush it off. “Oh stop, you're making a big deal out of nothing. If you continue, I f

“Sam, wh-what are you—?” I was shocked, surprised even.But before he had a chance to reply, a crying Donald was already on him. “Those scary people.” He cried in his ‘dad’s’ arm.Sam ruffled his hair, cupping his cheeks. “Hey, don't cry hon. Didn't I tell you then that I'd always be available to protect you no matter when or where.”He placed Donald on his chest where the boy cried.My heart ached at the sight. They both looked so perfect. Such a perfect father and son trio, and the fact I had deprived him of such relationship was heart breaking.I had to stare out the window just as the car zoomed off.A few minutes later it was parked in front of Sam's mansion, the car stirring in.The door was opened by a guard and I got down after Sam, who held an already asleep Donald.I didn't question him. At least not until we were both inside and he'd safely dropped Donald on one of the baby beds.“How did you get there?” I asked the second we were alone.“My car.” He nonchalantly took a sea

The next morning, I went to the company to complete some unfinished work.Thankfully, the crowd in front of the place had dropped a whole lot. Still, I had about three guards follow me in. Just to be safe.As ritual called, Kanyin greeted me and followed me to my office where we both completed most of the work.By three, I got a message from Tina letting me know the dinner was scheduled to start by five, so I left the office at three thirty, heading back home.Emery was still cooped up in her room, probably reflecting on her embarrassing moment. I didn't bother disturbing her, because sheesh, she really needed to reflect as that had to be the most embarrassing thing to even think of doing.Instead, I left to change into something comfortable, but still suitable for dinner with the Beldson and the chilly weather outside, a dark purple spaghetti handle shirt, tucked in a black tummy jeans, then a black parka.I topped it all with black heels, grabbing my purse which I tossed my phone i

My fingers moved to rub my temples as just her presence was growing a headache.“What's all this now?” It came out with a tired sigh. “Are you really going to be cliche or whatever by saying these shitty words?” I rolled my eyes. “So what are you going to do? Offer me five million— no, a hundred million dollars to leave your son alone.”Her expression didn't change. Instead, she straightened. “No, as it seems, you don't need money.”My face scrunched in disgust.“And I'm not telling you to leave him for his sake, but yours,” she continued, “how will you seriously live your life knowing this was the same guy that made your parents no longer be in this world.”A frown fell on my face, fingers balling in a fist.“I know you say you've forgiven him, but I'd have expected you to still have some dignity in you.” She shook her head, huffing a little. “As cliche as you might claim I sound, it doesn't stop it from being the truth. The bitter fact that Dale was the main cause of whatever happen

When the interview was over, I found my hands flying to clutch my chest where a fluttering heart resided. He was so good at it, that mine wouldn't even be able to stand beside him. And my gosh, I couldn't be more glad about that. It seemed as though I wasn't the only one who thought that because many reviews and comments had mostly positive things to say about him. I was beyond relieved. All the while till Dale returned, I read different comments. Some people still had bad things to say, while many agreed with that fact holding onto a past effect was likely not the best. Someone even said, *Who knows, this new project of his might have a better effect than any other one. We can't risk holding back a future progress because of a past mistake.” “Yeah,” I muttered, clicking the like button on the screen. A message from Emery popped on the screen. *Just saw the interview. It wasn't so bad.* A smile touched my lips. *Admit it, you are just as excited as I am about its success 🌝
