บททั้งหมดของ Chasing His Divorced Wife And His Child: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 7

NADIA’S POV“Sign here, here, and initial here.”Colin’s voice was as cold as the glass table between us, like he was closing a business deal rather than ending our marriage. I watched his manicured finger tap each yellow tab marking where my signature would dissolve three years of my life into nothing.I should have felt something. Rage, maybe. Devastation. The kind of emotion that matched the moment. Instead, I felt hollow, like someone had scooped everything out of me and left only the outline of who I used to be.“Nadia? Did you hear me?”I blinked, focusing on his face. Colin looked impeccable as always, his suit perfectly tailored, his posture straight, his expression untouched. His jaw was tight with impatience, and he glanced at his watch like this was taking longer than expected.“I heard you.”My voice came out steadier than I felt.I picked up the pen he had placed in the center of the folder. It was heavy, expensive, the kind of thing that existed just to remind you of the

NADIA’S POVI shouldn’t have stayed.The moment I saw him standing there, I should have walked out and kept going. Instead, I stood in the rain with him like nothing had changed, like three years of silence could be explained in a few words.“You don’t remember anything?” I asked.Colin shook his head once. “No. Just what I’ve been told.”I let out a breath that didn’t feel steady. “Then there’s nothing to explain.”“That’s not true.”“It is.” I folded my arms, more to hold myself in place than anything else. “You already made your decisions. This doesn’t change that.”“I didn’t know—”“You didn’t ask.” My voice cut through his before he could finish. “You never asked anything, Colin. That’s the point.”He went quiet.Good, because I didn’t trust myself to keep talking if he didn’t.Rain soaked through my sleeves, my hair, everything, but I didn’t move. It was easier to stand there than to deal with what came after.“I saw footage,” he said after a moment.I frowned slightly. “What?”

NADIA’S POVI froze the moment I turned and saw him standing there.For a second, nothing moved, not me, not him, not even the air between us, like everything had paused just long enough for it to settle in properly. Colin stood at the door, looking at us, but not really at me, his focus locked somewhere else.On him.My chest tightened instantly. My hand moved without thinking, pulling him closer to me, my body shifting just enough to place myself between them. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t controlled, it just happened, instinct taking over before I could think it through.“What are you doing here?”My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t soften it.He didn’t answer right away. His gaze didn’t move, like he was still trying to understand what he was seeing, like none of this fit into whatever version of reality he had been holding onto.I stepped forward slightly, enough to block his view properly this time.“You shouldn’t be here.”That got his attention.His eyes lif

NADIA’S POVThe word hits, and everything inside me locks.For a second, I don’t move. I just stare at Noah, waiting for it to make sense, waiting for it to undo itself if I stay still long enough.It doesn’t.My hand tightens around him before I realize it, pulling him back toward me. My chest feels tight, like I can’t get a full breath in, like something I buried a long time ago just forced its way back up.“No,” I say quickly. “Don’t say that.”My voice comes out sharper than I mean it to.He looks up at me, confused, his small brows pulling together. “Mommy…”I soften immediately, brushing my hand over his sleeve. “Noah, don’t say that, okay?”He doesn’t understand. Of course he doesn’t. He isn’t trying to hurt anyone. He just said what felt natural to him.That makes it worse behind us, Colin hasn’t moved.I can feel it without turning, that stillness, that focus.It presses against my back like something I can’t ignore.I don’t want to turn, but I do anyway.“You need to leave.”
