RUBY

"Hello, Austin. Can I join?"

I grunted inwardly at that question. Wyatt already got the ticket, so of course, he would come.

Austin nodded, and I was tempted to coax him to change his mind.

But then I must remind myself I was the one giving approval. Taking it back would need a logical reason, which I couldn't find at the moment.

Wyatt sat on the empty space opposite me and on the other side of my son. He looked at Austin, and somehow, I felt the odd way he did that. He seemed like someone was longing and in pain. Also, I spotted happiness as well as love.

Did he really know?

"Do you like the book?" He started the conversation.

Austin nodded again, this time more enthusiastically. "Yes. I love Superman."

"Do you want to be a Superman?"

My son tilted his head up so the two most beautiful blue eyes I knew met. "Mommy said, as long as I'm being a good boy and good to friends, teachers, and others, I'm a Superman." His eyes blinked twice after he said that, making

  • Chasing My Ex-wife Back    Chapter 78 - Sleeping Together

    WYATTFinally, I returned home, and the home I meant wasn't my actual house in New York, but Ruby's. And the first thing I did after landing was go to her house.I needed to see my family.Of course, Ron didn't go with me as his home isn't in this city. So I used a taxi since I left my car at Ruby's house.And when I arrived, the light was still on."Welcome back, Mr Logan." Niel, the bodyguard guarding the house, greeted me."Hi, Niel." I acknowledged him and continued with a brief talk about the team's condition, as well as my family and the house."So far, everything is good. We don't see harm around your family."I nodded. "Thank you, Niel, for your hard work. Keep it up.""Definitely, Mr Logan. Enjoy your night." He initiated the goodbye, perhaps, because he spotted the urge in me. "Katy is still inside. But I've told her about your arrival."Just as he said that, the door opened and Katy appeared from behind. We greeted briefly before she excused herself to leave this place, whi

    RUBYIt was the reason I avoided discussing a matter over the phone. Without the comfort of touch or a hug, misunderstandings grew easier, and words alone felt risky and limiting. The absence of in-person support left nerves unsettled, making me anxious about how our conversation would unfold.However, I then realized I had also contributed to this misunderstanding. I deliberately left Wyatt out, telling myself he might be too busy at work, even though I knew he had access to all the information. I felt a mix of guilt and apprehension, wondering why I had chosen not to tell him, especially when I knew he would learn about it with or without me."No. It's not like that." I defended myself from his accusation. "I was dying to tell you about this matter and share my feelings with you. But it would only steal your focus from the important thing.""You're important." Wyatt cut me off, clarifying my words, which resulted in a smile forming on my lips."Yes. I know that." And I acknowledged

    RUBYI was scrolling through my screen, only to see numerous requests to follow my account. I purposely locked it since I wanted to keep my life private. But now... Why were there suddenly many flooded requests from people I didn't even know?"What requests?"Brian's question entered my ears. However, I couldn't tear my focus from the screen as new requests continued to come in. What was this?"To follow my account. I'm getting many requests, and they keep growing by seconds." I explained."Your social media?"I nodded. "Not the store, but my own account." I made it clear. Since the video went viral, our store's social media account has been flooded with new followers. However, this was my private account. How?"Can I see?"I looked up and hesitated for a second. But then, I handed my phone to Brian since I couldn't get an answer for it."Can I look through your profile?" He asked after taking my phone. Only after I gave my approval did he start scrolling over my screen. I didn't know

    WYATTI threw my body a bit hard to sofa once I arrived room. Today was loaded with meetings, lunch, meeting again, then one more through zoom. After this, there was an event I had to attend.It was full and exhausting. But who was I going to complain? It's my responsibility as part of Logan and the leader of our business.A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I leaned my back on sofa and found the comfort. Only if Ruby and Austin were here. It might not erase the tiredness entirely. But at least, I could use the warmt to lift up my mood."I miss you, Uncle."I instantly smiled after hearing son's message. We couldn't talk through call because of time difference, so I had to accept with only voice notes. Nevertheless, it was better than text or nothing."Hm, that must be delicious. Have a sweet fun with Mommy. I miss you, too."I recorded those lines and sent it to Ruby. Then I returned to previous position while staring at the ceiling. Ruby and Austin's faces were there, looking back at hi

    RUBY"I'm nearby, so I thought to stop by."I blinked at his reply, and it snapped my mind from wandering. "Then welcome to our store. It's good to see a loyal customer return here." I smiled softly as I meant my words. I was happy to see him again, despite the awkwardness also being present.Brian returned the smile in kind. However, I noticed his lips twitch stiffly, and he refused to look at me longer."Welcome back, Brian. What can I help you with?" Judy greeted him with a bright smile as always."I want to buy treats for my staff, so I will take all the cookie flavors.""Oh, like the last time?" Judy asked, starting to prepare his order."Yes. Three of each flavor, please.""Sure."I walked closer, not to interrupt them, but... I didn't know. Perhaps for a chat or reconciliation. Surely, if only Brian were good with the idea."Can I cheer your staff, too?" This came out of nowhere. I meant, I didn't think of it before.He turned around, and we exchanged gazes for two seconds befo

    RUBY "You've never done that." That was Helen's reaction during our call after I sent her the video link. She didn't sound only angry, but also disbelieving of the accusation. "I know you, and this is out of character for you," she continued. A smile crept onto my lips when I heard that. It touched my heart to know someone believed in me. "Thanks for your trust, Helen." "Of course. I would have been the first to beat you if you had ever done such a thing." She responded with the same spirit, causing doubt to begin forming inside me. Was she really on my side? "Wow. That's the kind of you." I grumbled. "Which one would you choose? Beaten by me or the police?" "Hey!" I protested right away. None of those choices was appealing, and I wasn't in a place to face it, either. Helen laughed, and I huffed in annoyance. The call with my best friend was supposed to ease my mind, not the other way around. "What is your plan?" She asked after a moment of joking. This time, I let out a heavy
