All Chapters of His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful!: Chapter 171 - Chapter 178

I went to open the door, and instantly grinned the moment my son jumped into my arms.“Mummy!”“Hey, baby.” I ruffled his hair. “How was it at your aunt's?”“It was so much fun. I stayed with Nana and she showed us so much cool stuff, then me and Imogen played parents to Cinderella and Elsa.”I chortled, unable to hold back the smile that grew up my lips.This was such a beautiful moment for me. Here I was, having a conversation with my son without the fear of this being my last.I chortled, pressing a kiss on his cheek just as Lisa walked in. “The little boy ran out of the car without waiting for me.” She shook her head, but didn't sound annoyed. “Hey, why're you carrying him? Aren't you too tired of that?”“Not at all.” In fact, I felt super energetic, and stared at Rick. “Mummy has barely had the time to spend with you in so long, so now I promise to spend everyday playing with you and doing whatever you want.”He gasped, eyes growing wide. “Seriously?”I nodded. “Just name it and

“One night when I was one, she had spent the entire day working and was exhausted. Her body aching from all the times she had to carry me.” I continued, sitting straighter when he did the same.“As she was walking, she passed out. When she woke up, she was in a luxurious mansion, the room alone as big as Cassie's parents house.” I remembered how she'd explained that part so detailed, and how I'd laughed.“Turns out, David had seen her faint and took her to his house. I have no idea why he chose his house and not the hospital like a normal man should,” but then again, what did I know about romance?Richard chortled, clearly very interested.“A nurse took care of her, and then he had a driver send her home.” I shook my head. “Trish had tasted luxury for a moment, and wanted more. So she researched this guy, then spent the next eight weeks passing around his company's building, just so she could meet him by 'coincidence'" I air quotes the last word.“Are you serious?”“Yeah.” I laughed w

His eyes were wide, clearly not expecting to see me.“Do you plan on making me stand out here forever?” I asked, snapping him out of whatever world he had been in.“Oh, sorry. Come in.” His voice was a little guarded, and it reflected on his look when I stepped inside. “Is everything alright? Did Cassie do anything from jail?”“I'm not here because of her.”“Oh?” He raised a brow. “I don't suppose you're here to greet me.”I almost laughed. “I'm here to ask about someone.”“Someone?”I nodded once. “My mother.”The surprise was clear in his expression. We barely ever talked about my mom when I still lived with him and it had been so many years since I brought her up.But I wanted to know the truth.Twenty eight years and I still didn't know about my mom.That had to change today.David was going to speak, when a voice cut him off. “What's going on here?”We both turned to where Trish was walking down the stairs.The moment she spotted me, her expression twisted.“You.” The one word wa

I'd gone there searching for answers.I don't know what I'd been expecting, but a different kind of irritation filled my being.The moment I got into my car and shut the door, the anger shifted.It shifted to hurt.I couldn't help but imagine how much she'd have had to suffer.Trish was terrible, and if there was one thing she liked, then it was making people's lives miserable.She would've made my mom's life as terrible as she could.She'd have done and said things she shouldn't.She'd have made my mom feel less of herself.I wished my mom had stood her ground. I wished she'd snapped back, not allowed them to treat her how they did… I wished she'd let them know that they couldn't try any kind of trash with her.But she didn't.My face buried in my palms. She endured it all… “because of me.”This was messed up.Completely messed up.A small sigh left my lips, and I stayed in that position for a few more minutes.When I finally stared up, I caught his figure.Standing in the distance,
