All Chapters of DEAR EX HUSBAND, YOU LOVED ME TOO LATE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LIAM’S POV“Where is the cookies Liam?”I blinked back into reality when Ruby tapped me with that impatient look on her face…I had probably spaced out.“You better not be lying about the cookies” she said pointing her fingers at me sternly.I looked down at her “of course not Princess, in fact I’m going to get it right now”I brought down the cookies from where Anika had kept them and arranged some in a plate before handing it over to Ruby “here you go, cookies for your Highness”She picked up one and took a bite “this is delicious… did Anika make this?” she asked and I nodded.She groaned licking up the chocolate from her fingers “I want her to make them for me all of the time” she declared.“Why don’t you go tell her that yourself then”“I will” Ruby said and made a beeline out of the kitchen.My eyes followed her as she ran “careful Princess” I called after her, but Ruby was stubborn, she was already far gone.Now I was alone, and I could finally think about what was said.Mum had

ANIKA’S POVI had smiled so much in this short little time than I had in four years.It felt strange. Almost unfamiliar. Like my face was relearning something it had forgotten.Liam had been very intentional about everything lately. Every little thing. And yes, I knew this was 2026 and nobody really used the word woo anymore, but honestly, nothing else fit.Because what else do you call it when a man remembers how you take your tea without asking? When he leaves small handwritten sticky notes for me every day just before he goes to work in places he knew I would find them but always switches it up so as to not be predictable.He always makes sure to text because he knew I loved to feed others but always forgot to eat.But most of all he listened.He never talked over me, or made me feel like my opinions were less than, even when we disagreed… rarely, he always made sure there was a middle ground.If that wasn’t wooing then I had no idea what it was.And I would be lying if I said I wa

SIMON’S POVI paced outside Bree’s hospital door.Back and forth.Back and forth.At this point I was even getting annoyed with myself and how much I was pacing, but I could not even help it.The sound of my shoes hitting the tiled floor was the only thing keeping me grounded, because everything else felt too over whelming.I was finding it hard to hold on to my last shred of control.One minute we were talking.The next… she couldn’t breathe.Then she was on the floor.Unconscious.I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply, trying to steady myself but it wasn’t working. How did things even get this serious?She had been in there with the doctors for over an hour now, and every second that passed made my chest feel tighter.I hated this feeling.Waiting.Scared, with no idea if she was seriously hurt, especially when it was my fault.I knew Bree had a weak heart and she was soft, so fragile. She could not handle harsh words or scolding. Even the littlest of confrontations could s

ANIKA’S POV“You really did your big one, huh?”I asked Liam the moment he came out from his room. He was wearing just a pair of grey sweatpants that hung dangerously low on his waist exposing his delicious looking V-line and that trail of hair that led down to his-God help meI had to force my eyes away from his body.He rubbed his neck with his face flushed “I just wanted you to talk to someone that you were familiar with you know?” he asked.“Felicia said you got her five star accommodation” I said.“A friend of you is a friend of mine too, nothing but the best”I moved to him before I could stop myself and wrapped my hands around him “thank you Liam” I said burying my face in his neck.He froze for a second, before his hands wrapped around me. When we finally parted, it was like our eyes connected and for a second it was like the world had come to a sand still.He was breath taking.“We really need to talk Anika” he said.I swallowed “I am sorry Liam, I should not have kissed yo

LIAM’S POVThe moment I opened my eyes, it was like my breath was taken away.There was no one on this earth, or above it, who had ever come close to being as gorgeous as Anika was. Even when she was doing something as simple and ordinary as sleeping, she still found a way to look perfect while doing it. It was almost unfair how effortlessly beautiful she was sometimes.My heart squeezed tightly, and that familiar flutter of butterflies filled my stomach.Anika Kingston was the only one who had ever made me feel this way.It had always been like this. She had my heart even when she did not want it, even when she barely noticed it was hers forever. And now she was here with me. Mine. Well, not completely, not officially, not in the way I wanted yet. But Simon had let her slip away.His loss became my greatest gain.And I was not about to waste it.I would give her the world if she let me. I would show her what it meant to be chosen every single day, what it felt like to wake up without
