บททั้งหมดของ I Need You Ex-wife! : บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

VICTORIA ~Saying I have been worn out over the past couple of days is an understatement. I am more than exhausted, both physically and emotionally.I have faced a series of challenges. Just when I thought I had finally managed to get my son back to Asheville City, another exhausting issue came up, leaving me with barely enough time to catch my breath.However, I am thankful that this present storm has finally come to an end. At least, I can breathe a little easier now, knowing that I no longer have to worry about the case hanging over my head.In all honesty, I cannot thank the universe enough for bringing Logan into my life.Right from the moment I got into this trouble, he took it upon himself to fight for my release. He stood by me when I needed help the most, even when I had no idea how things would turn out. His support meant more to me than I could ever explain.Even during the court hearing, which I never expected him to attend, he showed up with his lawyer, as though he had s

VICTORIA ~ "Mommy, are you still going to take me to McDonald's?" Liam asked as he barged into my room. I lifted my gaze from my laptop and stared at him. Seeing the excitement written all over his little face, I couldn't help but let out a weak sigh. "Of course, dear," I replied with a faint smile. In all honesty, I do not have the time for such an activity, especially with the amount of work waiting for me. However, I knew I had to fulfil my promise. After all, I was the one who had made it, and I didn't want to disappoint my son. I closed my laptop and stretched out my arms, silently requesting a hug. Without hesitation, he approached me and wrapped his little arms around my neck. I hugged him briefly before pulling away to look into his face. "Was it because of the promise I made that you forgot you were supposed to greet me first before asking for anything else?" I asked, pretending to sound offended. He lowered his head slightly. "I'm sorry, Mom." A small smile crept o

BRANDON ~"Sorry, I never meant to harm you." A female voice suddenly came from behind me."Besides, what are you doing here?"Hearing the voice, I slowly lifted my head, using the little strength I had left to look at the person standing behind me. There was something familiar about her, something I couldn't easily overlook.However, the moment my eyes landed on her face, my mouth fell open in disbelief."Ruth!"I couldn't help but scream her name.For a moment, I simply stared at her, wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Of all the people I had expected to encounter in this city, Ruth was certainly not one of them.It was almost impossible to believe that I was standing face-to-face with someone I hadn't seen in over two decades.Ruth and I had known each other for more than twenty years. In fact, she was one of my childhood friends. We practically grew up together, and there was a time when I couldn't imagine my childhood without her being part of it.But life had separa

VICTORIA ~ As we drove towards the busy road, Liam kept glancing out of the window, admiring the beautiful sights of the city. His excitement was written all over his face, and I couldn't help but smile occasionally as I watched him enjoy the view. It had been a while since I had taken him out like this, especially with how occupied I had been with work lately. Although I had a lot on my plate, I knew I needed to create time for him. He deserved more than a mother who is always glued to her work. "Mommy, why is that man walking with his hands?" he suddenly asked. His question caught me off guard, causing me to slow down slightly as I tried to see the person he was referring to. Unfortunately, before I could turn my head properly, the car had already passed him. "Sorry, sweetheart. I couldn't see who you were talking about," I replied, gently patting his shoulder with one hand while keeping the other on the steering wheel. He said nothing more and returned his attention to t

VICTORIA ~"Mommy, why are we running away from him?" Liam asked, frustration clearly written across his little face as I hurried towards the direction where our car was parked, holding firmly onto his wrist.I glanced briefly at him but couldn't bring myself to explain anything."You'll understand better when the time is right, sweetheart," I replied, trying to keep my voice as calm as possible despite the turmoil inside me.I knew he was confused, and honestly, I couldn't blame him. From his perspective, we had simply been having a lovely time together before I suddenly dragged him away without allowing him to finish his meal.However, there is no way I could explain the situation to him at that moment.I quickly opened the car door, ushered him into the passenger seat, and hurried into the driver's seat.Without wasting another second, I started the engine, reversed the car, and steered onto the main road before speeding away."Mommy, what is happening?!" Liam yelled, his voice ris
