Chasing My Ex-wife Back

RUBY"Here is the last order. This one for... Betty Hunter." I said as I placed the cake that I just finished decorating on the counter. It was a mid-size cake in broken white and simple decoration."Wow. Well done, Ruby. This is so beautiful." Judy, the woman standing at the counter, replied. She was the one assigned to deal with customer and their order."Simple is always the best." I winked before glancing at the clock on the wall. "Oh, it's already eleven. I have to go." I made a quick turn back to the kitchen while untying my apron."Is it fried rice today?"I could merely hear Judy's voice because the thin wall had separated us already. "Yes. And an omelet. He loves omelets." I couldn't help a smile from tugging on my lips saying that. Talking about him always warmed my heart."It must be delicious. I could smell it." Rita chimed in from the kitchen, making me shift my body toward her. She was working on a batch of cookies, placing them one by one to bake them later. Meanwhile,

WYATTI watched the interaction of those two people sitting under the tree from my place: Ruby and Austin. One is a woman in my life, and the other one is...Those clear blue eyes...The age...Is he my son?"Here," Kevin said beside me as he thrust a paper bag as well as an envelope.My forehead creased not for the paper bag because I knew he had bought lunch for me but for the envelope. "What is it?""Information." He replied while gesturing with his chin in Ruby's direction. "About your son."My brows furrowed more. My son? It only meant that he already knew this all along. "When did you know? And why didn't you tell me?" I asked, my voice was firm at the sudden anger coursing throughout my body.But what made me angry, actually? Was it really because he just told me now? Shouldn't I be grateful, then? Or not, I wouldn't know at all.He raised both hands in surrender. "Calm down, Wyatt. I'm on your side. I also found out about him recently."Did I believe him?Well, it wasn't the

WYATTShe was so beautiful.No.She is always beautiful, whether now or years ago when I first met her. It seemed all these years did not change her beauty at all. And if it was, it merely added more. She is beautiful but in a more mature way.However, her beauty wasn't the only thing I loved about Ruby. She is a fantastic woman with a caring and loving personality. And I knew she would be a good mother someday, which I finally witnessed."Are you going to see her leaving like that?"Kevin's question rang in my head as the memory of yesterday's event kept flashing like a movie. From the moment he first brought me to the daycare center, I met my son for the first time and saw the mother of my son till I had to let Ruby go after my attempt to fix everything failed.I sighed as I leaned my head on the chair. Ruby refused to listen to me, not even let me finish my explanation. I knew the incident hurt her deeply, and whatever excuses I had, it wouldn't make sense. I was drugged, and Tina

WYATT The past two days were wonderful. The daycare center, Ruby's bakery, and their house... Despite Ruby's constant rejection, I cherished the moments I spent with the two most important people in my life. Yes. Ruby had always become the first, and now I had Austin. It was like my life couldn't be more perfect. Except for the fact they weren't officially mine, and I just got the moment now. Thinking of it now made me regret the decision to let Ruby go. I should have tried harder to hold her. But it was my only choice back then when I saw her pain. I loved her so much that I couldn't bear to see her hurt, even if it was never true. "Wyatt. What are you doing here?" Helen looked surprised after finding me outside her apartment building. As much as I loved being around Ruby and Austin, I had to return to New York after spending a nice dinner at their house. I had to return to my life as Logan. And the first thing I did was v

RUBYI always love his parents.They welcomed me the first time I met them, saying I was the daughter they had been longing for. And they treated me so well that even when I jokingly made complaints about their son, they scolded Wyatt instead. They also encouraged me to pursue my dream so that if I wasn't Wyatt's wife, they would be the ones supporting me. They were so loving, causing my heart pain every time I thought about them and our time together.That was why I had never looked back because I knew it would hurt them more if they saw me. And I couldn't do that. So I decided to stop being their daughter the moment divorce came out of my lips.I could no longer be their proud daughter-in-law.I could no longer disappoint them.But now?What would they say if they found out I was hiding their grandson?Oh, God!I inhaled deeply, only to exhale heavily. Only if Wyatt didn't find us, I wouldn't have this burden.But then, could I hide this forever?Another sigh escaped my mouth, reali
