Semua Bab My Billionaire Ex-husband's Greatest Regret : Bab 61 - Bab 70

Chapter 62Grayson Grant ~•~ “I came to drop off your daughter and decided to wait for a while because I didn’t want to leave her alone without any of her parent.” My face twisted in disgust. I didn’t want to argue with Sabine in front of Jack. “Okay, fine,” I let out a deep breath, trying so hard to suppress my anger. “You can leave now.” Sabine didn’t move, she just stood there, darting her eyes between me and Jack. “He looks a lot like you… he doesn’t really look like Tessa.” Jack tapped my legs. “Daddy, who is this?” “It’s your mom’s sister,” I replied, my voice tight. “Oh,” he whispered under his breath. “Mama didn’t really talk about her.” “I know… go upstairs, okay? Just enter the first room you see.” I gave Jack a little pat on his back before he ran up the stairs. After he left, I looked at Sabine. “You really came here to cause problems intentionally,” I said with a bitter scoff. “Problems? I’ve been trying to reach you since but you refused to answer my calls, s

Chapter 64Tessa Ford ~•~ Heart failure. My mom’s heart was failing. I didn’t even know how to react to the news. I didn’t know how to feel. And the worst part? She didn’t have much time anymore. I loved my mother. I really did. And I hadn’t spent much time with her for years because I ran away and ghosted everyone. But now, she was about to… I couldn’t even think about the word. Even if there was a great distance between us, I couldn’t imagine how I would live with myself if I lost my mother. I had already lost a child to a terminal disease, I couldn’t lose my mother. “Tessa, are you still there?” Her trembling voice echoed from the other end of the phone. “Please, I just need you here, to be by my side… I have already lost so many years. I can’t leave this world without seeing you.” My eyes burned with unshed tears but I didn’t let them spill. Not in front of Jade whose eyes were already shining with curiosity. I forced down the lump that had formed in my throat. “I’m so

Chapter 66Tessa Ford ~•~ As I stepped out of the airport, the cool New York breeze grazed my skin. I exhaled sharply as I looked around the environment. The air still smelled the same. Everywhere still looked the same. A few minutes later, our ride arrived. The driver helped us with our luggage and soon enough, we were on our way to our hotel. “Mama, New York is so beautiful,” Raven said as she looked out of the window. “No wonder Jack loves it here so much.” I laughed, pulling her closer. “Yeah, it’s a beautiful city.” As we drove through the busy streets, a thousand memories came flooding back.Nostalgia washed through me as I passed certain places I used to love. Even the places where Grayson and I used to love. Everything was so overwhelming. “Mama, are you okay?” Jade asked as she held my hand. I didn’t even realize I had been crying until I tasted the salt on my lip. “Yes, I’m okay,” I said as I wiped off my tears with the back of my hand. Coming back here stirred

Chapter 68Grayson Grant ~•~ A part of me felt bad for pretending to Tessa like I had no idea why she came back to New York. I didn’t even know what I was going to do when she found out that everything was actually an orchestrated plan by me. After she left the house, I called Ethan and asked him to come over. While I waited for him, I went upstairs to meet with the kids. As I entered the room, I saw Jack and Jade having a serious conversation. I was curious to know if he had told her about Amelia.But I didn’t want to ask because it would just remind him if he hadn’t, and I didn’t want him to tell her about Amelia. Jade and Tessa seemed pretty close and I was certain that it would be the first thing she would tell her mother when they got back to the hotel. “Are you guys okay? Do you need anything to eat?” I asked as I leaned against the doorframe, biting my inner lip to stop myself from smiling too hard. They both turned around in unison and looked at me. “Yes, can you make

Chapter 70Tessa Ford ~•~ Grayson didn’t pick up his phone. I knew it was intentional. I just entered a cab and drove off to his house. When I got there, I let myself inside and saw him and Ethan in the living room. My blood was boiling intensely with rage. “Hi, Ethan.” I waved at him. Then I turned to Grayson. I didn’t say anything to him, I just walked toward him slowly. His eyes flickered with guilt. “Tessa—.”My palm connected with his cheek before he could finish. The sound echoed through the quiet room and Ethan let out a low gasp. Grayson’s head jerked to the side and he held his jaw with his hand, but he wasn’t amused. “I’m guessing that you’ve found out about the truth,” he muttered quietly. “I know I actually deserved that slap.” “You deserve the worst things, Grayson.” I snapped, rolling my eyes at him. I was tempted to hit him again but I forced myself to stop. “How could you do something so… evil?” Grayson let out a wistful sigh. “I’m sorry about it but it was
