Все главы My Billionaire Ex-husband's Greatest Regret : Глава 71 - Глава 80

Chapter 72Grayson Grant ~•~ Colluding with the NYPD and the Australian police to arrest Tessa just to keep her back in New York was something I never imagined doing. But I was too desperate to get her back, so I didn’t mind crossing a few lines. I already had the plan in motion before she even came to New York. Tessa bribed a judge and her little boyfriend decided to testify against her. When I first reached out to him, I thought he would blow me off or something. But it seemed like something had happened between them that made him really upset with her.I was happy about that part. At least, there was no man in her life anymore. A few hours after she left the house, my friend from the NYPD called to say she had been detained. I hated that she had to go through something like that, but I didn’t have any other way to convince her to stay back here. I didn’t even want her to get the slightest idea that I was behind everything. So I waited for a few hours before going over to th

Chapter 74Tessa Ford ~•~ I waited for another day before going over to Grayson’s house to pick Jade up. She was still in my custody, so I had every right to take her back. I just hoped that Grayson would have some empathy and allow me to leave with her. When I got there, I met Grayson outside. It seemed like he was about to go out. “Hey, I’ve been trying to reach you but your number wasn’t available. I was tempted to go to your hotel room, but I chose to respect your boundaries.” I had turned off my phone the previous day because I wanted to be alone and didn’t want anybody to contact me. “It’s a good thing you chose the latter option, I definitely didn’t want to see you.” Grayson sighed. “How are you doing? I’m sorry about everything.” I ignored his fake concern and continued. “I’m here to pick up Jade,” I said, my voice firm. “You still want to go to Australia?” He asked with a hint of surprise in his voice. I fixed my narrowed gaze on him. “What the fuck do you expect

Chapter 76Tessa Ford ~•~ “Grayson, are you out of your mind?” I growled at him as I stormed into his office. His secretary tried to stop me but I pushed her away. Grayson stood up immediately. “What’s the fuss about?” He asked, feigning ignorance. Was he seriously asking me that question? He asked his secretary to leave the office and closed the door. My nostrils flared and I couldn’t even control the anger that was radiating through me. “Ask me that shit one more time!” I said through gritted teeth. “Fuck! I can’t even believe you.” “Take a deep breath, calm down, and let’s talk.” Grayson gestured for me to sit on the empty chair, but I let out a bitter scoff. I hated that I was causing a scene at his workplace, I looked through the transparent glass walls and saw that all eyes were on us. Grayson didn’t seem bothered, so I also chose not to care. “Who told you that I was in Australia? Was it your private investigator? Who is responsible for everything? Who helped you fin

Chapter 78Grayson Grant ~•~ The way Tessa looked at me— eyes full of resentment— made my chest tighten. She didn’t say anything to me, and her silence was really scary. The judge had just granted me custody of Jade. I felt a mixture of relief and guilt swirl in my stomach. Relief that I had finally gotten custody of my daughter, and guilt that I had taken everything from Tessa. Tessa didn’t even scream at me or anything, she didn’t even talk to me. She just turned around and left the court. Was she tired of fighting? I felt like we would come to an agreement after I got custody of Jade. I acted like my main focus was getting the kids, but it was also getting Tessa. I thought she would have no choice but to stay in New York because she wouldn’t be able to survive without the kids in Australia. But from the way she stared at me before leaving, I could tell that she wouldn’t even want to be in the same space with me. Did I fuck up so badly? Or maybe she just needed space to p

Chapter 80Grayson Grant ~•~ “They’ve refused to eat. They spend all day crying…” I let out a frustrated sigh as I explained everything to Ava. She had just flown in from London and stopped by my house because we hadn’t seen each other in a while. “That’s terrific. So what do they want you to do?” She asked, a pang of sympathy in her voice.I pushed my hair backward, letting out a quiet breath. “They just want to be with their mother… It’s either I bring her here or I take them back.” “Wow, including Jack?” I nodded. “Yes, Jack was always excited to stay in New York, but two weeks after Jade started staying here, he started acting weird.” Ava chuckled. “Do you think that Jade must’ve convinced him to throw a tantrum just so they would be with their mom?” I shook my head. “Not really, I just think that they miss her so much. Maybe they’re starting to process the fact that they don’t live with her anymore.” Deep down, I also felt that Tessa might’ve put them up to it during one
