Semua Bab The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back): Bab 61 - Bab 70

HANNAH’S POV:After all, it was going to be our first dinner in this new house, and though I couldn’t shake off the unease of how we’d ended up here, I didn’t want to leave in discomfort and constant worrying. I was going to let things play out.The dining room looked like something out of a magazine. The long mahogany table was set for eight, glistening under a crystal chandelier that scattered diamond light across the polished wood. Mr. Dean had outdone himself; there were platters of roast lamb drizzled in rosemary sauce, seafood pasta, mashed potatoes with truffle butter, and a colorful array of salads, fruits, and desserts that could tempt even the most disciplined eater. At the far end of the table, a bottle of aged red wine waited, unopened, though I doubted Elijah had placed it there for me.Andrew and Amelia came running down the stairs, laughing in their matching semi-formal outfits Andrew in a navy shirt and pants, Amelia in a pink dress with tiny flowers sewn across the he

HANNAH'S POV:Andrew turned toward him, and for the first time, there was a spark of anger in his eyes. “Why do you keep asking her to stop?” he snapped. “You act like everything’s fine, but it’s not!”“Andrew,” I warned softly, but he wasn’t finished.“You ruined everything,” he said, his voice shaking. “Mum never talks about her family. We never get to see anyone from your side or from hers. You made everyone hate her. Didn’t you?”The air seemed to shatter around us. Elijah blinked, completely taken aback, and I saw the color drain from his face.“Andrew, that’s not—”“Don’t!” Amelia interrupted, her eyes glistening. “Don’t try to say it’s not true! You think just because you bought us a big house and gave us toys that everything’s fine? You hurt her. She stays up sometimes at night and just thinks and we have heard her have so many wishes on how things could have gone.”The room went completely still.Lucas’s lips parted slightly, his usual humor gone. Even Matteo set his fork dow

ELIJAH'S POV:Just as I walked out of the mall ignoring the stares and glances, I saw a flower shop with beautiful lilies and I had just found out that Hannah loved them and roses. I had a friend working in Bri dresses and I had requested one of the limited edition dresses, as a gift for Hannah and I purchased it. I planned to ask her on a date with both the lily and the dress.So I stepped into the store, purchased a huge bouquet of lily to be delivered to the house since they weren’t ready yet and I still planned on making popcorn and spending time with the kids. I also got daises for my beautiful princess, Amelia, since she was so obsessed with pink and yellow lately.I was so excited at the idea of spending time with all of them separately but I also was aware enough to know that the chance a slim. But nonetheless I wouldn’t stop trying until we had a truly happy family. “Thank you.” I appreciated my driver as he opened the door and I was offended by the surprised look on his fa

HANNAH’S POV:“Wow,” he muttered, opening the car door for me. “I should’ve gotten a warning before seeing you like this.”I chuckled as I slid into the passenger seat. “Don’t start, Roman. You begged me to come, remember?”“True,” he said with a smirk, getting in beside me. “But I didn’t know you were going to make every other woman there irrelevant.”I ignored him, focusing instead on adjusting the slit of my gown so it wouldn’t crease.As he started the car, my phone buzzed reminding from Maya reminding me to text Elijah simply out of courtesy and I let out a sigh. I already texted the kids letting them know I was joining a friend for an event, so why did I still have to talk to him?I groaned quietly.Roman raised an eyebrow. “Is everything okay?”“Maya,” I sighed. “She’s insisting I text Elijah to let him know I’m going out. Says it’s ‘the courteous thing to do.’”Roman laughed under his breath. “You’re kidding. That man’s lucky you even share a roof with him, let alone tell him

HANNAH’S POV:THAT SAME NIGHT:“It’s almost midnight, Hannah, and I was trying to call you because an hour ago when I was just checking up on the kids, I noticed Amelia was burning up…..” He informed me and my eyes went wide, instantly sobering up.“What? Where is she?” I asked raising my voice walking in the direction of the stairs but not only did he stop me but I was surprised seeing his friend, Jacob and Cherry heading down the stairs.“She's asleep now. I had our family doctor cone check her up, and he informed that it was as a result of the medicine and her condition. She's okay…” He spoke reassuringly and walked towards me and embraced me as I was just standing dumbfounded. Being in his arms felt weirdly comforting and he smelt so good, I wanted to hold him tightly and sniffle, and question why I decided to go out knowing Amelia’s condition.It was as though he could read my mind because his next words were, “It is not your fault. You deserve to have a nice night out…..I’m sor
