Semua Bab My Billionaire Ex-husband's Greatest Regret : Bab 131 - Bab 140

Chapter 131Grayson Grant ~•~“What are you guys talking about?” Sabine asked as she stepped into the office. My breath hitched. I hope she hadn’t overheard our conversation. “How long have you been standing outside?” Tessa asked, taking a few steps closer to her sister. Sabine’s expression was unreadable. “Long enough.” “What did you hear?” I asked, my brows furrowed. “I heard enough,” she replied with a mischievous smirk plastered across her lips but I couldn’t tell if she was being for real or if she was bluffing. If Sabine really heard something, then I had messed up badly. What was she even doing at Tessa’s office? “What do you want? Why are you here?” Tessa demanded, ignoring her response. The irritation on her face was evident. Sabine pinched the bridge of her nose. “I came to see you.” “See me?” Tessa frowned. “What do you want to see me for?” she asked, eyes flashing with curiosity. Sabine’s eyes darted between Tessa and me before she continued. “It’s a privat

Chapter 133Tessa Ford ~•~“Even Ethan knows that what you’re asking me to do doesn’t make sense.” I sighed, running a hand through my messy hair. Grayson’s brows furrowed. “How? You spoke to Ethan?” he asked, blinking in shock. I nodded. “Yes, and he advised me not to listen to you. I can’t take such a risk,” I said firmly, so he would know that I was serious about not involving myself or my business in any illegal activity. Grayson snorted. “Wow, so after acting like he was okay with my decision, he still went behind my back to talk to you,” he muttered, more to himself than me. “Why can’t you guys see that I’m doing this for everyone?” “No, Grayson. You’re just desperate and you don’t mind putting other people’s lives in jeopardy just to solve your problem.” He reached out for my hand but I shifted uncomfortably on the couch. His face fell as he continued. “You know that I care about you, the kids, and even Ethan.” I shrugged my shoulders slightly. “It doesn’t seem like it r

Chapter 135Grayson Grant ~•~“Ethan, are you out of your mind?” I demanded as I barged into his office without caring to knock. Ethan looked up from his computer immediately. “What is going on?” He asked, a confused expression on his face. I couldn’t hold back a scoff. “You fired Daniel without my consent?” I shook my head in disappointment. “You’ve just made everything worse.” His expression became unreadable. “How? What happened?” “Don’t ask me questions, Ethan,” I replied through gritted teeth. “Why would you do something so careless like that without informing me?” He adjusted his glasses, steadying them on his nose. “I informed you but you didn’t want to listen to me,” he replied. “I knew I had to do something about it.” I let out a deep breath to keep myself calm. “Because it was a wrong decision. That was a wrong move, Ethan!” “Lower your voice, Grayson. People will hear us.” I snorted. “Like you care.” Ethan got up from the chair. “I care, Grayson.” His response wa

Chapter 137Tessa Ford ~•~When I opened the door, I saw my mother standing outside. I was shocked to see her because I wasn’t expecting anybody. “Hey… what are you doing here?” I asked, my eyes scanning her from head to toe. “Did you steal your sister’s design?” I blinked. “That’s what you came here unannounced to do?” I let out a scoff. “You couldn’t call me or something?” “So you don’t want to see your mother anymore?” Ever since she lied to me about being sick just so I would come to New York, there had been a rift between us. I’d tried to move past it and act normal, but somehow, I ended up remembering it and acting a certain way towards her. If it were in the past, I would have given her some grace and been more polite, but I didn’t care anymore. It also hurt that she would confront me about stealing Sabine’s designs in person. She knew how I felt about Sabine. “I’m not saying that I don’t want to see you,” I replied calmly. “I just don’t understand why you would com

Chapter 139Tessa Ford~•~My heart melted as I watched Jack and Jade make their birthday wishes with their eyes closed. After they blew out the candles, I dropped the small cake I’d spent the night baking on the table and pulled them into a warm hug. Everything still felt so surreal. I couldn’t believe that my babies were growing bigger and bigger every day. And with everything that had happened this past month, we were still standing. “Thank you, mama,” Jade whispered in my ear.“We love you, mama,” Jack added. As I watched them, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the day they were born. I felt all alone and at some point, I thought I couldn’t do it anymore. I wanted to die — I’d never admitted that out loud. But when I eventually gave birth and saw my beautiful babies, I knew I made the right decision by having them. But I wasn’t ready for the sleepless nights that came with newborns. It wasn’t an easy task doing it alone. Most times, I wished things hadn’t gone wrong betw
