Semua Bab My Billionaire Ex-husband's Greatest Regret : Bab 171 - Bab 180

Chapter 172Tessa Ford ~•~“Tessa, I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about! I’ve never been married!” I rolled my eyes, letting out a bitter scoff. “So are you trying to say that I was hallucinating everything? You want me to feel like a crazy person?” I folded my arms and looked at him with pure disgust. Zane came to my house after Nora talked to him. At first, I was skeptical about letting him inside, but I needed answers, so I eventually allowed him to enter the house. But what I couldn’t believe was the fact that he was continuously denying everything and making me look like a jobless woman who just wanted to start shit. “I don’t know what to tell you, Tessa,” Zane said as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “But the only thing I can say right now is that I’ve never been married and none of the women from my past would show up at my door and do something like that.” I paused for a while, trying to process everything he was saying. I couldn’t trust him. So many thin

Chapter 174Grayson Grant ~•~I had to stop myself from smiling. The plan worked. It fucking worked. I was tempted to ask if they had broken up for good, but I didn’t want to push too much. And I wanted her to say it on her own. I also wanted to give her some space and time to process everything before making a move on her. As she rested her head on my chest, it felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt relieved. In no time, Tessa would finally be mine. I knew I didn’t go about it the right way but I still got the result I wanted. And she would never find out about what I did. Her breathing evened out against me. She was so relaxed and I could tell that she saw me as her safe space. I hoped it wasn’t temporary or just happened because she was in a vulnerable state. This was the moment I was working towards for so long, and I expected it to be the start of something beautiful, or even the continuation from where we had stopped. “Tessa,” I whispered i

Chapter 176Tessa Ford ~•~The kids already had gloomy faces. Grayson still hadn’t picked up the call. I let out a deep sigh, trying to calm myself down. He was the one who brought the idea, made the kids excited, and now he wanted to disappoint them? I didn’t give up on calling Grayson. I dialed his house number. But nobody responded. I gritted my teeth in annoyance. What the hell was happening? Jade walked into my room. “Daddy still hasn’t answered?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. I nodded, giving her a sympathetic look. “Yes,” I replied, my voice tight. “Can you try calling him on your iPad?” Jade frowned. “I’ve called him a hundred times.” I could feel the frustration in her voice. I held back a chuckle. It wasn’t the time to laugh about anything. Jade was seriously upset because she had been looking forward to the dinner. “Should I take you and your brother to the restaurant? Daddy will join us whenever he answers the phone.” Her expression crumpled. “No

Chapter 178Tessa Ford ~•~Ethan swallowed. “Grayson is going to be okay.” My shoulders sagged a little bit at his words, but the knot in my chest didn’t loosen. Fear still clung to me as I saw him lying helplessly on the bed. “Are you sure?” My voice came out quieter than I’d intended. “Because he looks pretty… bad.” Ethan let out a long sigh. “I know, but don’t worry about all those bandages. He doesn’t have any serious internal injuries, he’s going to be okay,” he said, trying to sound confident. “They are just minor scratches on his skin.” I folded my arms, unconvinced. How could he look like that and be okay? “So why is he knocked out?” “It’s the medications,” Ethan replied. “He’s going to be okay soon.” “Okay, does his mom know about it?” He nodded. “Yes, she knows about it.” “When will he wake up?” I asked, my fingers brushing over his knuckles. “Soon,” Ethan said gently. “The doctors just want him to rest. His body has been through a lot.” I sat down on the couch op

Chapter 180Tessa Ford ~•~“Just go, I’ll tell him that you went to get him food or something,” Ethan said, probing for me to leave the hospital. I desperately needed a shower and a change of clothes. Plus, the kids had been calling me nonstop because they wanted to see me. But I promised Grayson that I wasn’t going to leave him until they discharged him. I didn’t want to break the promise. “Tessa, just go. Besides, he’s sleeping and you’ll be back before he wakes up,” Ethan continued, trying to convince me to leave. I’d already spent a lot of hours there and the day was getting dark. “How about you? You’ve been here for a long time. Don’t you need to rest?” I asked, raising a brow at him. “He’s my best friend and I can’t leave his sight. Besides, I don’t have anything to do at home. But you can’t just pause all your responsibilities just because you want to take care of him.” I knew he was right. But still, the thought of walking away even for a short while made my chest tigh
