All Chapters of Too Late to Win Me Back : Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Moments later, the door to my hospital room was kicked open.Reese stormed in wearing a black tactical trench coat, fury rolling off him.Seeing how frantic he looked, I let myself foolishly hope, for one second, that he was worried about the baby I'd been carrying."Our baby is—"But before I could get the words out, Reese cut me off roughly."You're being completely unreasonable."He yanked back my blanket. The edge scraped across my stomach, and a piercing pain shot through my whole body."Give me your phone."His eyes were full of irritation as he dug around under my pillow."Ivy, what were you thinking?"You know Layla has a heart condition, and you still left a comment like that on purpose to provoke her!"We're about to get married. She's already heartbroken that she can't be my bride, and now you've upset her so much she can't breathe again! How can you be so vicious?"Where's your phone?"Delete that comment right now!"I quietly took in his impatient face, and f

Ivy's POV"Miss De Luca, are you sure you want to cancel your marriage license application?"My hand trembled slightly as I held the form.The clerk could see I was hurting and gave my shoulder a gentle pat."Why don't you take some more time to think it over?"Besides, even to withdraw an application, the groom normally has to come in too. Where is he?"I gave a bitter smile."Dead. I'll sign it myself."Hearing that, the clerk didn't try to change my mind. She sighed, stamped the form, and slid it over to me.I'd just picked up the pen to sign when a message popped up on my phone."Ivy, get to Central Square, now! Reese is about to propose!"I agonized over it for a long time, but in the end, I went.The moment I stepped out of the car, I saw an endless stretch of pink balloons and roses in every color."Wow, this is so romantic.""Is someone proposing?""Has to be. She's so lucky!"Gasps of admiration rippled through the passersby.But when I looked up, the name on

The moment Layla walked in, she threw herself into Reese's arms.But Reese shoved her away."Don't touch me."Layla fell to the floor, staring up at Reese. He was always so composed, but now he was on the verge of losing control.Reese looked down at her, his eyes churning with hatred."You knew all along, didn't you? That day in the hallway, you ran into Ivy on purpose. You're the reason she lost the baby."Layla scrambled up and stumbled back two steps, her back hitting the cold doorframe. Her meek, fragile mask cracked—but she pieced it back together in an instant.She pressed a hand to her chest, deliberately quickening her breath, her shoulders trembling slightly."Reese, how could you suspect me like that?"Her eyes quickly filled with tears."We grew up together. You said you'd protect me for the rest of my life! Have you forgotten?"Reese was silent for a moment.Then he crushed the report in his fist, shoved Layla out of his way, and stormed out the door.Layla sa

I raised an eyebrow at Layla. She looked far more worn down than she had a month ago.She was nothing like the polished woman she used to be. After I left, Reese had dropped her.And with the De Luca family constantly pressuring the Romanos, her own family had cast her aside too.She glared at me, her eyes full of resentment."Ivy, how can you be so shameless? Reese doesn't even want you anymore. Why are you still clinging to him?"I threw the flowers Reese had sent me right in her face."Take a good look at who's chasing who!"Actually, perfect. Since you want him so badly, you can have his flowers. And while you're at it, keep him on a leash so he'll stop bothering me!"Layla's face stiffened. Then, as if something had occurred to her, she suddenly laughed."Don't flatter yourself. He's only coming after you because you're pregnant with his child. Reese doesn't want to give up his baby."As she spoke, Layla rested a hand lightly on her stomach, looking smug."Well, now I'm
