Billionaire Ex-husband Begged Me and Son Back의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

At six in the morning, Ella was already busy in the kitchen. She stirred the batter by hand. The oven filled the air with the scent of vanilla cake.For Leo's fifth birthday, she had refused all help from the servants. The living room was filled with blue and white balloons. Every streamer was hung by her own hands, climbing up the ladder herself.Leo ran downstairs rubbing his sleepy eyes. He wore a miniature suit. His hair was combed neatly.He excitedly tugged at Ella's dress. "Mommy, when is Daddy coming back? He said he would teach me to ride that new mountain bike today! And we're going to blow out five candles together!"Ella looked at her son's bright eyes. A bitter feeling rose in her heart.She remembered Alexander's promise before he left last night. She forced a smile and kissed her son's forehead. "Daddy will be back soon. He promised you, didn't he?"At two in the afternoon, the party's official start time arrived. The invited children showed up one by one. But Alexander

Ella stood in the living room, holding Leo tightly. She felt like her entire world was collapsing."Mommy, I'm cold." Leo said softly in her arms.Ella looked down at her son. Only then did she realize Leo's face was frighteningly pale. His little face was flushed red with fever. She reached out to touch her son's forehead. The burning temperature made her heart tighten."Leo? Baby, what's wrong?"Leo's eyes looked unfocused. "Mommy, I feel terrible..."Before he finished speaking, the child's eyes rolled back. His body suddenly went limp."Leo!" Ella screamed. She held her son tighter. "Leo, wake up! Baby, look at Mommy!"Her hands were trembling. He must have caught cold sleeping on the sofa waiting for Alexander. How could she be so careless? How could she let the child wait so long?Ella carried Leo and rushed to the garage. She held the child with one hand and started the car with the other. Tears blurred her vision, but she didn't dare stop to wipe them."Hang in there, baby. We'

Ella stood at the kitchen doorway. She looked at Jessica sitting arrogantly on the sofa. She suddenly felt nauseated. She took a deep breath. "No."Jessica froze. "What?""Are your hands and feet disabled? If you want water, get it yourself." Ella said coldly."You..." Jessica was so angry she sat up straight on the sofa. She pointed at Ella. "You dare refuse me? Alexander told you to take care of me. You dare disobey?!""Alexander isn't here." Ella said calmly. "And even if he were, I still wouldn't serve you.""You—" Jessica trembled with anger. She held one hand over her belly. Her voice became shrill. "Ella, you better think carefully! If anything happens to me and the child in my belly, Alexander will never forgive you! Do you believe he'd kick you out of this house for us?!"Ella didn't answer. She just looked at her coldly.Just then, small footsteps came from the stairs. Leo came down again. He had heard the arguing. He was worried about his mother.He timidly moved his feet. H

At five in the afternoon, Ella went to pick up Leo from school. Leo saw her and immediately ran over. "Mommy!""Baby, did you have fun at school today?" Ella crouched down and hugged her son."Yes! The teacher taught us to make crafts today. I made a little boat for you!" Leo pulled out a paper-folded boat from his backpack. On it was written crookedly "For Mommy."Ella's tears nearly fell. She took the boat and kissed her son's forehead. "Thank you, baby. This is the best gift Mommy has ever received."When they got home, it was already six in the evening. Ella led Leo through the door. The air was filled with the aroma of food.Leo shouted excitedly, "Mommy, it's mac and cheese! My favorite!"Ella smiled. "Yes, Mommy made your favorite. Go wash your hands. Get ready for dinner."She walked into the kitchen and put on an apron. She was stirring the cheese sauce in the pot. This was Leo's favorite dinner. Every time she made it, she added lots of cheese to make the pasta rich and fragr

Gradually, Jessica cried herself to exhaustion. She slowly fell asleep.Alexander leaned against the headboard, watching the sleeping Jessica. Her hand still gripped his sleeve. Even in sleep, she didn't let go.She slept very restlessly. As if having nightmares. Every time Alexander tried to pull his sleeve away and leave, she would startle. She would frown and cry out in her dreams."Michael... don't go... the baby..."Seeing Jessica's loving yet heartbroken appearance, Alexander sighed. In the end, he didn't pull his sleeve away. He stayed by her side without moving.Meanwhile, in the small guest room at the end of the hallway, Ella sat on the bed. She held Leo, who had cried himself to exhaustion."Mommy," Leo said softly. His voice was hoarse. "Doesn't daddy want us anymore?""Shh, baby, don't think about that." Ella kissed his forehead. "Sleep now. Mommy will take you away from here.""Can we really leave?" Leo looked up. Hope shone in his eyes."Really," Ella said firmly. "Momm
