Billionaire Ex-husband Begged Me and Son Back의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

"Jessica!" Alexander immediately rushed over. "What happened?!"His leather shoes accidentally stepped on the family photo, tearing the already damaged picture. But he didn’t even notice. Jessica looked up at him with tear-filled eyes, her sobs coming in hiccupping waves. "Alex, I'm so sorry... I really didn't mean for this to happen... I was just trying to dust the photo frame a little..."She pointed a trembling finger at Ella, her voice breaking. "She was showing me all the beautiful gifts you've given her over the years. I just said how much I envied the way you treat her so well... I don't know why that made her so angry. She just grabbed the frame and smashed it on the floor... When I tried to pick up the pieces, the glass cut my hand... I'm terrified something might happen to the baby..."Alexander's expression transformed into something cold and dangerous. He whipped around to face Ella. "You threw things at a pregnant woman?"Ella didn't respond to his accusation. She di

Looking at Alexander's angry, twisted face, Ella suddenly felt a surge of determination.Since he was convinced she was having an affair, then let him think that. As long as he would sign, as long as she could take Leo and leave this place, she didn't care about anything anymore.She took a deep breath, lifted her head, her eyes terrifyingly calm. "Yes, you're right. I had an affair."Alexander froze, his entire body stiffening like he'd been struck by lightning."What... what did you say?" His voice was trembling."I said, you're right." Ella repeated word by word, her voice ice cold. "I had an affair. Lucas and I are together. I'm desperate for a divorce because I want to be with him.""No!" Alexander shook his head violently, his eyes bloodshot. "Impossible! Ella, you're lying! You're angry with me, right? You're trying to force me to sign—""I'm not lying." Ella interrupted him, no expression on her face. "Alexander, our marriage ended long ago. I don't love you anymore. I l

"Went to the nearby amusement park?" Alexander repeated, his voice carrying a trace of urgency."Yes, sir." William nodded. "Mrs. Blackwood said it was arranged last week, to take young master to the amusement park for the whole day. She asked me to prepare lunch boxes and—""She's still in New York?" Alexander interrupted him, his whole body relaxing with relief."Yes, sir. She said she would be back tonight."Alexander leaned back against the sofa and closed his eyes.She was still here. She hadn't really left.His heartbeat slowly calmed down, and his mind began racing.Those words last night must have been her throwing a tantrum at him. She must have been so angry about Jessica living at home that she deliberately brought out the divorce agreement to threaten him, forcing him to compromise.Yes, it must be that.Ella loved him so much, how could she really want a divorce? She was just acting out of anger.Alexander remembered the scene of signing last night, and a surge o

Alexander stood in the empty room, feeling like the entire world was collapsing.The room had been cleaned completely. The bedding was neatly folded on the bed, nothing was on the desk, and the wardrobe was empty.It was as if no one had ever lived here.Alexander's gaze fell on the corner of the room, where a lone suitcase sat.Inside were all the gifts he had given Ella over the years. Those expensive jewelry pieces, bracelets, sculptures... all neatly arranged in the suitcase. She hadn't taken a single item.She didn't want anything.She only took her own things and Leo's things.Alexander's hands were trembling. He walked to the desk and picked up the divorce agreement.When he signed yesterday, he had been blinded by anger. He signed without even looking at it properly.Now, he turned through it page by page.Page one, reason for divorce: Irreconcilable differences, unable to continue living together.Page two, property division...Alexander's eyes widened."Party A (

Night fell, and candlelight cast flickering shadows on the crystal glasses in the dining room. Alexander sat at the head of the dining table, facing the carefully prepared dinner—the Italian seafood pasta had gone completely cold, the Caesar salad lettuce leaves were beginning to wilt, and the chocolate soufflé had long since collapsed into a mess.It was already eight-thirty at night."She probably hit traffic," Alexander told himself. "Or maybe Leo was having too much fun at the amusement park and didn't want to leave."But his hands were trembling.Alexander picked up his phone and dialed Ella's number again. The phone rang once, twice, three times..."The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." The cold mechanical female voice came through."Damn it!" Alexander suddenly stood up, his chair making a harsh scraping sound. He dialed again, getting the same message.The third time, fourth time, fifth time... each time yielded the same result.
