DEAR EX WIFE, YOU WERE NEVER A CHAPTER のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

As the weekend wrapped up , Sophia began preparing for her Wednesday trip, already feeling the weight of the journey ahead . Raven's school session had just ended just in time, so she decided he'd travel with her .On Tuesday evening, Sophia sat on the couch with Raven, who was full with excitement and questions. “ Mom, will there be big aeroplanes? He asked, his eyes wide.“ Yeah, a big one,” Sophia replied, smiling at his eagerness, “ and guess what? You'll get a window seat.”“ Yessss!” Raven cheered, already dreaming of what he will see from up high. As she looked at him, she felt both thrilled and nervous. She wasn't entirely sure what awaited them or how the trip would unfold, but she knew it was something she couldn't avoid.The next morning, as she was finalising her packing, Sophia called Elena over. They ran through the usual business tasks, with Sophia entrusting her to keep an eye on things until she was back.“ Elena,” she said, slipping a set of keys into her assistant'

The cold nibbled at Vanessa bones as she hurried through the snow covered streets of London, clutching her tiny daughter,Sophia, tight against her chest . She was eighteen, barely more than a child herself, In a world that felt as if it was closing in on her . Each step she took was burdened not just by the weight of her daughter but by the silent hopes and fears she habored within. She was young, unprepared and alone.Her mind drifted, as it often did,to the thoughts of her lover, Nelson. The man who had once looked at her with promise had quickly turned cold when he discovered she was pregnant. In his eyes, Vanessa had been an inconvenience, a future who had no desire to accept. He walked away without hesitation, leaving Vanessa to face the harsh reality alone . She'd slept many sleepless nights wondering if she could have changed his mind or softened his hardened heart, but in the end , the answer was always the same: he'd chosen himself over them.Vanessa pushed open the heavy do

After Sarian’s abrupt departure to California, the Cole mansion settled into an odd kind of quiet one that felt like a pause before a storm. Sarian hadn’t said goodbye, not even to Ethan. One morning, she was there, draped in silk and ego. The next, she was gone, her perfume lingering only on the guestroom sheets.Ethan pretended not to care. He buried himself in work, late-night meetings, and back-to-back charity events. But everyone around him could see the way his temper had sharpened, the way his smile had become more of a smirk.Sophia stayed silent. She moved through the house with practiced grace handling Mrs. Cole’s medications, organizing Mr. Cole’s events, and managing household chaos with invisible elegance. She never mentioned Sarian. She didn’t have to. Her absence was its own story.One evening, seated in the Cole family’s private study, Mr. Cole gestured for Ethan to sit. His voice was calm, but the air between them was thick with years of unmet expectations.“You’re Th

Her words hung in the air, and Sophia struggled to process them . Her whole life had been a journey shaped by my loss and resilience. And now, the woman sitting across from her was revealing herself as my father's sister, the father she never knew.What… What do you want from me?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Mrs. Blackwood's gaze softened, her voice softened, “ nothing, Sophia. I just want a chance to know you better, to be the family you never had.”Sophia's lip trembled as she struggled to hold back her tears. “ I can't…I can't do this. Not right now ,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. She stood abruptly, turning away before the tears spilled over.Without another word, she walked out, leaving Mrs. Blackwood sitting alone, regret etched into her expression as she watch her go.Back at the apartment, Aunt Kate noticed Sophia's troubled face when she returned and quickly poured them both a cup of tea, guiding her to the kitchen table. Sophia sat down, hand

Ethan hadn't expected to wait so long. The sterile smell of the clinic mingled with his impatient thoughts as he stood in the corridor, his mind racing with questions. Sophia's sudden reappearance in his life had pulled him down a path he thought he'd closed long ago. And now, waiting for Dr. Cassy , he felt a thug of tension and hope at war inside him.As he leaned against the wall , he noticed a doctor walking briskly down the hall. Ethan's eye narrowed, there was something uncomfortably familiar about him . He was certain he'd seen that face before, though the name escapes him . Memories surfaced,jagged and half formed, of a time filled with deception and doubt. Then it hit him: five years ago, at the hospital with Vanessa. His jaw tightened as he recalled Sarian's lie, the hospital stay she fabricated, and this man, this doctor who had assured Ethan everything was true . It was that same face, though now aged and a little wearier.The doctor paused, catching Ethan's gaze. Ther
