"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 81 - Observation

    RUBYI listened to all of Wyatt's explanation carefully, from his question to the worst scenario we had always feared. It wasn't about him or me anymore. It was about us, with Austin included. And I understood why he was disconcerted about this."So, what do you think?" He asked after a moment of silence.What did I think?"Does that mean I have to move out to New York?"He didn't reply to me right away and kissed the back of my hand. "I wish we could live together in New York, in our house. But if you prefer to live here, I will be okay with that, too. Just maybe, we need to move out to a safer environment."I let his answer sink in for a few seconds, then asked him another question. "What about my store?""You can appoint your trusted employee to be a manager and oversee the store here. Then you can focus on building a branch in New York."He had been encouraging me to expand my business. Was it the time to do that?"You won't do that alone, honey. I'm by your side, and you definite

    WYATT"Updates?" I prompted Ron as the call connected. It was Saturday night, and he should have been with family, not dealing with work. Still, after the restaurant incident forced me to move Ruby and Austin to a more private location, I couldn't wait anymore."We've tracked the account and got their places. They turn out to live in the same city as Mrs Logan, but they seem not to have any connection with her.""And?" My patience was running out to hear the full explanation."The legal team has visited and questioned them about the videos. Also, we have warned them about the consequences for ruining Ruby's Bakery's image because all their claims aren't true.""What did they say?""Our staff described them to be flustered when we mentioned the consequences. So we gave them options. They would face prison and fines, or just prison, but they had to make a video for clarification."I nodded in acknowledgment. That was what I expected from my staff. "What did they choose?""We have to wai

    WYATT"It looks nice to sleep between you and Uncle Wyatt."I couldn't help but let my heart swell with happiness at the thought of that. Yes. I was up since my son rustled into his spot between us. However, I purposely pretended to be asleep just to eavesdrop on their conversation. And it was always worthy."Really?""Hm." He hummed to answer her."Then, sleep, baby. Breakfast is still two hours ahead.""Will Uncle Wyatt be here when I wake up?""Of course," Ruby replied immediately. "It's the weekend, remember? He will stay for the weekend." Her voice was as calm as usual, especially in the serenity of the morning."Ah, weekend. We can play together." In contrast, Austin responded in excitement."Yes. You can play with him later. Now, let's sleep. Look, Uncle Wyatt is sleeping, too. Let him rest a bit longer.""Okay. Let's sleep together, Mommy."There was silence for the next minutes and only her hand movement, patting our son to sleep, was heard. And it slowly drifted away as her

    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
