After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 213
Haley slumped into the front passenger seat, exhaustion etched on her face. Helen started the car and handed her a coffee. “Here, sis, I got you a coffee. Take a sip to perk up.”“Alex, hand the coffee to your mom,” Helen instructed.“Okay,” Alex replied, carefully passing the coffee from the back seat. “Thanks, Alex,” Haley said with a tired smile, taking the cup from him.Lately, her time had been consumed by preparations for the art exhibition, leaving little room to spend with her children. The family had stepped in to help. Alex stayed with Helen, while Chase spent time with Wilfred. They were now on their way to pick up Chase and Wilfred. Tonight, Evelyn had booked a table at a restaurant to celebrate Haley’s upcoming art show, wishing her success in advance. Over the past five years, Haley’s life had been smooth and fulfilling, free of worries and full of support.In Wilfred’s office, he was wrapping up his work while Chase sat at a small desk nearby, studying business m

“Hello, Mom.”“Where have you been? I messaged you to meet at the restaurant, and why didn’t you go? Do you know that poor girl has been waiting for you forever?” Heidi’s angry voice came through the phone. This time, she hadn’t set him up with some heiress from a wealthy family. Instead, she had found a girl who bore a striking resemblance to Emily.“Mom, didn’t I tell you already? I’m not interested in blind dates.”“At least give me the courtesy of checking her out! Show a little respect for me, will you?” Heidi ranted, so agitated that she felt like her heart might give out. “If you weren’t going to show up, you could’ve just told me!”Justin sighed. His schedule was packed, and he genuinely hadn’t had a moment to check his messages. As he glanced around, he thought he caught sight of Alex’s small figure out of the corner of his eye. Squinting, he looked again, but all he saw was a potted plant nearby. Maybe he had imagined it. Distractedly, he replied, “Fine, Mom. When I g

Justin pushed open the private dining room door, carrying Alex in his arms. The reactions around the table were varied. The female business partner, in particular, looked utterly shocked. Spotting Alex was as if she had seen someone incredibly influential. It hadn’t crossed her mind that they might know the Walker family.Zac was momentarily surprised to see Justin walk in with a child, but the moment he recognized Alex, it all made sense. His tone turned casual as he remarked, “How’d you run into Alex?”He stood, giving up his seat to make room for them.Justin settled into his seat, placing Alex on his lap rather than letting him sit separately. Alex didn’t mind at all. He was quite content to stay where he was. Noticing Alex might be hungry, Justin picked up a fork and began offering him small bites of food. He even instructed the server to bring a fresh set of utensils for Alex. Once Alex was taken care of, Justin turned to Zac and responded, “I bumped into him while I was o

“Let me take you back,” Justin offered.Alex was about to agree, but Zac swept him into his arms before he could respond. “You’re staying here with the partners,” Zac said in Havenese. “I’ll take him back.”Alex glanced between the two men, his sharp eyes catching their conversation. It was clear he understood every word. Wrapping his little arms around Zac’s neck, he decided it wasn’t a bad deal. This uncle was pretty handsome too.Zac carried Alex securely as he stood to leave the private room. As they approached the door, Alex waved at Justin with a sweet smile. “Goodbye, Mr. Yates,” he said in fluent Havenese, his tone impeccably polite.Zac’s expression darkened slightly as he walked toward the lobby, casually probing, “Alex, what’s your aunt’s name?”Without hesitation, Alex chirped, “My aunt? Her name is—”Before he could finish, his wide eyes spotted Helen’s figure in the distance. Excitedly, he pointed forward with his chubby finger. “There she is! My aunt’s right ther

“Alex, didn’t I tell you not to interact with those two men anymore?” Helen scolded as she led him back to the private dining room. Alex tilted his head up at her, wide-eyed with innocence. “Aunt Helen, you only said not to bring them to the corner to find you. You didn’t say I couldn’t meet them again.” Helen felt her words catch in her throat, momentarily stunned. She huffed in frustration and amended, “Well, I’m saying it now. From now on, don’t meet with those two men again. Got it? If you see them, stay far away!” Alex nodded solemnly, but inside, he was sure of something else entirely. Aunt Helen must be afraid that Mommy would find a boyfriend while she was still single. With a determined squeeze of Helen’s hand, Alex declared, “Don’t worry, Aunt Helen. I’ll help you find a boyfriend too. And even if I can’t, I’ll stay with you forever and take care of you when you’re old.” Helen froze, her forehead twitching as if her frustration was written all over her forehead

Before Alex could finish his sentence, Helen yanked him into the room in one swift motion. From her bedside table, she grabbed a bag of snacks and shoved it into Alex’s arms as a bribe. Both hands firmly gripping his tiny shoulders, she looked him in the eye with utmost seriousness. “Alex, forget about what happened this afternoon. Don’t bring it up again—especially not to anyone in the family. And absolutely not to Uncle Richard.”She could already imagine Richard’s relentless teasing if he got wind of it. Alex glanced at the bag of snacks in his arms, then cheekily held up two fingers, silently bargaining for a second bag. Helen narrowed her eyes at him, feigning irritation. “Fine, two bags.” Quickly, she stuffed another bag into his arms and shooed him out of the room. The door clicked softly behind him before Alex could say another word. Grinning from ear to ear, he looked at the two bags of snacks in his hands. His brother didn’t like snacks, so these were all his.

Haley gazed at her sleeping sons, their delicate faces and brows resembling Justin’s more than her own. The bond of blood was truly remarkable, she thought, her emotions swirling as she stood there in silence. After a while, she turned off the lights and left the room.Meanwhile, Justin and Zac finished their meeting and left the restaurant earlier than Evelyn’s group, sparing them a chance encounter. Yet, as Justin exited, he glanced back inside, hoping for a glimpse of a small figure that never appeared.Returning to their hotel, Zac grabbed two cases of beer and joined Justin in his room. He was already tipsy from their business dinner, but now he drank even more. His cheeks were flushed, and his eyes glistened as he slumped on the couch, beer bottle dangling from his hand.The bitterness in his heart bubbled to the surface as he turned to Justin, rambling incoherently. “Why did Helen disappear too? Tell me… why?” He tugged at Justin’s shirt collar, his voice trembling and punctu

Helen shook her head, her tone flustered. “No, it’s not like that…” “Not like that? Then why did you leave me? Five years, Helen. Was I not good enough for you?” Zac’s lips pouted in mock indignation, but his voice betrayed genuine hurt. Helen’s gaze locked onto his slightly parted lips, which glistened with a subtle allure under the dim light. They seemed almost hypnotic, a magnet pulling her closer. His voice, however, broke the spell. It was so irritatingly loud, drowning out her thoughts. She frowned. “If he wouldn’t stop talking, then she’d make him stop.”The idea formed quickly, and she acted on it just as fast. Her hands flew up, cupping his face, as she leaned in. But no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t close the distance between them. Frustration bubbled in her chest. If she couldn’t get to him, then she would make sure he came to her. With determination, she yanked his face closer and puckered her lips. *Thud!A plush toy smacked against Helen’s f

As Mrs. White spoke, her face lit up with the unmistakable grin of someone deeply invested in her son’s love life. Mr. White took the phone from her, sat down beside her, and grinned just as widely. “That little rascal finally figured out how to chase a woman.” As a father, he was proud. But after the initial excitement, a hint of worry crept in. “Wait, no. I need to call him. I need to find out exactly what’s going on.” What if Zac didn’t know how to handle things properly? As a father, it was his duty to guide his son through this! But before he could dial, Mrs. White swiftly pressed down on his hand, stopping him. “They’re getting along just fine. Why would you call and ruin the moment? Do you want to be a third wheel?” “So… we’re not asking?” Mrs. White thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. “We’ll text instead!” “Good idea.” *Meanwhile, Zac was completely focused on enjoying grilled skewers with his wife and nephews. He had no idea his cousi

For the past few days, Chase had been completely wrapped up in tracking down the person who had tried to harm his mom. He had hardly slept, let alone had any fun. Now that they had identified the real culprit, there was no way he was just going to head straight home. “I’m not eating. Let’s just go home.” “No way. After that much ‘exercise,’ you’re not hungry?”Helen’s face immediately flushed red. She shot a glare at Zac. What nonsense was he spouting in front of the kids?! Luckily, Alex didn’t pick up on the double meaning. He was just excited. “Yay! That means we don’t have to go home! Uncle Zac, you’re the best! I like you the most!” One sentence was all it took for Zac to start grinning from ear to ear.Smugly, he glanced at Helen and raised a brow, as if to say, “See? Even Alex is on my side.” Helen’s glare instantly shifted to the backseat. This little brat—whose side was he really on?! In the end, she had no choice but to give in. She called Evelyn a

“Child support,” Justin repeated under his breath, as if still processing the words.He had children now. He was a father. And like any father, he had a responsibility to provide for them. Just like the chairman of B&J Corporation, who had his own family, Justin had a family now too. But… Chase and Alex were already five. Did that mean they no longer needed vaccinations? He had missed five whole years of their lives. Five years. There were countless milestones he could have been part of, yet he had missed them all. That couldn’t happen again. From now on, he wouldn't allow himself to be absent from any part of their lives. He had to be there. Of course, what Justin meant by "seeing the kids occasionally" and what Haley understood were two very different things. Haley thought "occasionally" meant once or twice a year. Justin meant "occasionally" as in every single day. As in—he would see them multiple times a day. Haley, still lying on the bed,

Justin’s grandfather left the shares specifically for his great-grandsons. That could only mean one thing—he had met the boys. Justin's eyes grew misty again. Haley remained still, her back still turned to him, her voice laced with cold indifference. “You don’t need to thank me. The kids have nothing to do with you.” Yes, he was their biological father, but he had contributed nothing beyond his DNA. He hadn't been there, hadn't raised them, hadn't even known about them. So as far as she was concerned, they weren’t his. “Haley, I… I’m not trying to take them from you. I—I don’t want custody… No, that’s not what I mean, I do want them—” Justin, usually sharp and articulate in business, was completely tongue-tied in front of her. He sounded like a clueless, stammering kid, struggling to get the words out right. His desperation was obvious, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. Haley suddenly sat up, her voice sharp and unwavering. “Chase and Alex are my children.
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 570
Helen turned to Haley, slightly stunned, her expression silently asking if this was real. Haley shrugged and spread her hands. “Same as earlier today—Chase was defending Alex back then too.” Helen let out a breath, half exasperated, half amused. But she wasn’t about to let the brothers off just because of Chase’s plea. With a swift motion, she smacked each of them on the backside twice. Their cries echoed through the room, making Justin, still hiding in the side bedroom, frown deeply. Was Helen being too rough? The boys were actually crying out in pain. Outside, Alex clutched his behind, giving it a quick rub. As soon as the sting faded, he was back to his usual energetic self. Helen never actually hit him hard—just enough to make a point. Compared to punching a sandbag, this was nothing. Chase, on the other hand, wasn’t used to this at all. He furrowed his brows slightly, feeling an unfamiliar discomfort.After all, this was the first time in his life he had e

When Helen finished changing and glanced out the window, she finally realized that the sky had already turned dark. Her eyes darted to the clock on the wall. “Eight o’clock?!” Her voice shot up several octaves, practically loud enough to shake the ceiling. “Zac White, look what you’ve done!” “My bad, my bad. We’ll go pick up the kids right now.” At this moment, Zac wasn’t complaining about his chest pain anymore. He quickly admitted his mistake, so much so that Helen couldn’t even find a reason to keep scolding him. Grabbing their bags and car keys, the two of them rushed toward Haley’s hospital room. At the door, Helen reached out to push it open, but Zac beat her to it. Instead of barging in, he knocked loudly—so loudly it was as if he was afraid no one inside would hear him. Helen shot him a suspicious look. “Why are you knocking so hard? It’s not like my sister goes to bed this early. Wait, is Justin in there?” Only now did she remember that Justin existed.
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 568
Helen’s face started turning red, and she gave him a light slap. “Be serious, we’re in the hallway.” “Oww!” The moment she touched him, Zac doubled over, groaning dramatically as if he were on the verge of tears. Helen didn’t buy it. “Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad.” She had barely tapped him! “It really hurts! If you don’t believe me, take a look.” As he spoke, he shamelessly started unbuttoning his white coat right there in the hallway, determined to show her his "injury." Helen panicked and quickly reached out to stop him, pressing his coat closed. The two of them wrestled—one trying to undo buttons, the other trying to fasten them back. “We’re in public! If you really want me to check, wait until we’re home tonight.” She was in a rush to pick up the kids and had no time to argue with him here. “Nope. You have to look now. It’s probably bruised, and you need to help me apply medicine.” “Medicine? You’re a grown man! Can you stop acting so fragile?”

“Are Chase and Alex with you?” Evelyn asked.Haley glanced down at the two children in her arms and replied calmly, “Yes, they’re here with me.” “Is Justin at the hospital? Did he see them?” Evelyn asked. Haley hesitated for a moment, her eyes drifting toward Justin, who was standing not far from her. Then, she lied to her mother. “No, he’s not here. I heard he went to meet with a business partner this afternoon.” “Good. I’ll have Helen go pick up the kids.” “Okay.” After hanging up, Haley tossed her phone onto the bed without sparing Justin a second glance. She didn’t explain her plans for the children to him, nor did she feel the need to. Justin wanted to ask, but with Chase and Alex present, he held back. Haley lifted Alex from her lap, wiping away the tears on his cheeks before continuing her lecture. “Do you know who just called?” Alex sniffled. “Grandma…” “That’s right! You two snuck out without telling anyone. Do you know how worried she was?” She
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 566
This was the first time Alex had ever seen Mommy this angry. She had never been like this before. He was so scared! “I don’t want Uncle Justin anymore… Mommy~~ hic… hic.”Alex cried so hard that he started hiccupping uncontrollably. No matter how angry Haley was, seeing her little son in such distress broke her heart. She pulled him into her arms, gently patting his back to help him catch his breath. At the same time, she scolded sternly, “I’m calling home right now. Someone will come and take you both back!” Justin had more bodyguards stationed at the hospital than she did. She didn’t trust him. The only way she could feel at ease was by keeping the children safe at home, surrounded by family. Justin and Chase both wanted to speak, but Chase beat him to it. “Mommy, sneaking to the hospital was my idea. This has nothing to do with Alex. If you want to discipline someone, discipline me.” Justin wanted to step closer but hesitated. He watched as the three of them
