Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 28
Lessie's POV Before I knew it, the men had already disappeared from sight. They must have had ridiculously long strides.I lowered my head, trying to relax. Not even a minute had passed when a figure appeared in front of me.I looked up, confused.“You may use one of the free rooms now. Here’s the key,” the guard said, handing me a key.“Huh?” I blinked, momentarily lost.“The boss has approved that the free rooms can be rented out. While the standard rooms are occupied, the VIP rooms are still available. This key is for one of them,” he explained patiently, likely noticing my bewildered expression.Before I could say a word, he turned and walked away.“Hey—” I called after him, but he was already gone.Excited, I got up and hummed to myself. A proper rest was just what I needed. Not wasting a second, I hurried upstairs, hoping he wouldn’t change his mind. With directions from someone, I quickly found my room.When I opened the door, I was stunned by the size of the VIP room. It was

Lessie's POV “Lessie, you—” Ella started but sighed midway. Before she could continue, I cut her off immediately.“You don’t need to say more. Let’s head inside.” Without waiting for her reply, I quickened my steps back into the house.“Hey, Lessie! I’m not done talking!” Ella shouted after me, but I didn’t slow down. In fact, I walked even faster.“Sweethearts, we should get going already,” I said as I entered the house, noticing James and Jasmine standing by the door, clearly waiting for me.“Yes, Mommy.” James grabbed Jasmine’s hand, and together, we quickly left.“Argh, Lessie, you’re so stubborn! Bye, my darling Jasmine and James! Godmother will visit you again soon,” Ella called out, waving after us, finally giving up as we reached the bus stop.When we returned to the hotel, I didn’t even have a moment to rest before my phone buzzed. Benjamin’s name flashed on the screen.“Hi, Benjamin,” I greeted with a smile, even though he couldn’t see it.“How are you doing?”“I’m fine.”“

Lessie's POV The sudden voice startled all of us.I glanced at the screen and saw a new space light up. Benjamin had joined the call.I couldn’t help but smile. His timing was perfect, even though I knew I couldn’t always rely on him to save me like this.“Everyone, Mr. Rodriguez will be online in one minute. Be ready,” Benjamin said calmly.His words seemed to snap everyone back to reality. They quickly straightened their outfits and flashed polite smiles at him, concealing the awkwardness from moments before.“Yes, boss,” they responded in unison, suddenly serious.Just as Benjamin predicted, the last blank screen lit up a minute later. Mr. Rodriguez was now online, dressed sharply in corporate attire.“Hello, sir,” we all greeted him professionally.“How’s everyone doing? Are you all fine?” he asked with a warm smile, and we nodded in response.“That’s good to hear. Alright then, let’s get down to business,” he said, his tone now more formal.“Yes, yes.” “Mr Benjamin, will you ta

Lessie's POV He didn’t even wait to hear anyone else’s words before clicking the end button.“Phew!” I leaned back into the chair, exasperated.I didn’t even have the strength to call the kids and their nanny back inside. I was both too tired and relieved at the same time.Feeling uncomfortable in the chair, I forced myself to stand and headed for the bed.Today had been overwhelming, from waking up early to visiting Ella’s house, taking the kids out for some fun, panicking when I couldn’t find them, finally bringing them home, and then rushing into a conference meeting.Now, I was utterly drained, sleep tugging at me. I sank into the soft bed, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, sleep claimed me. I had no idea how long I slept.When I woke up, I looked around and saw through the window that it was still bright outside.Frowning in confusion, I muttered, “Did I only sleep for a few minutes?” I couldn’t quite make sense of it.I was still lost in thought when I suddenly felt a soft

Freddie's POV "Boss, it's almost evening," Zenith said, standing to the side while I remained completely engrossed in my laptop.I didn’t even bother looking up at him.“Boss,” he called again, more insistent this time.Reluctantly, I raised my head. “What?” I asked curtly.“It’s evening already,” he repeated.“And so?” I snapped, my irritation bubbling over.Zenith had been on my case since morning, and my patience was wearing thin. He knew it, yet he wouldn’t let me be.“You should eat something,” he said softly.I glared at him before turning my attention back to the laptop. Anyone with half a brain could tell I was upset and wanted to be left alone, but Zenith? He had a knack for doing the exact opposite.“Boss.”“Zenith, can you just leave my office? It’s almost evening, not evening yet. I’m busy and have a mountain of work to deal with. Do you understand?” My tone was sharp, laced with frustration.“Yes, I understand, Boss,” he replied. “But you’ve been working late for days no

Freddie's POV “It's nothing. Just want to free my head.” I remained tight-lipped. “But-” Tyla wanted to persuade but Collin quickly spoke.“Let's Freddie be. If truly he's in trouble he won't keep it from us.” He said."I'll be in another room," I said, standing up abruptly. Before anyone could question me, I walked out.Once outside, I instructed the manager to arrange a private room for me. He quickly obliged, and as I approached the room, I turned to Zenith."Go and explain to them why I left," I said, hoping he’d come up with a reasonable excuse for my sudden departure. I just couldn’t face them myself."Understood, boss," Zenith replied, bowing slightly before heading toward their room.Without lingering, I entered the private room the manager had prepared. Inside, a staff member stood by, waiting for instructions."Bring me three bottles of alcohol," I ordered, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over me.The staff member quickly complied, and within two minutes, three bottles w

Lessie's POVAfter the meal, I sat on the balcony with the kids and their nanny. The fresh air felt refreshing, the perfect way to relax after eating.“Mommy, are you serious?” James asked, his curious eyes fixed on me.I nodded with a small smile. “Yes, son. We’ll be heading back in two days.”It was already a new day, and I hadn’t shared the outcome of the meeting with them yesterday. Now seemed like the right time.A quick glance at my phone told me it was already afternoon.“We’re going back, James!” Jasmine’s slower, childlike mind took its time processing the news, but once it clicked, she shot up and started bouncing around excitedly.I couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling lighter as I watched her joyful expression.“Sweetheart, are you happy we’re going back?” I turned to James, curious about his reaction.“I don’t mind,” he said with a casual shrug.It was exactly what I expected from him. No matter where we were headed, as long as Jasmine and I were with him, he was content.F

Lessie's POV “Are you even listening to me? I’m telling you to leave the club right now and go home. And make sure you eat properly,” I said, raising my voice slightly to emphasize the seriousness of my words.Freddie didn’t respond, not to my earlier words or this latest demand. The silence was frustrating.“Freddie, are you there? Don’t just sit there acting dumb!” I snapped, my patience slipping as I raised my voice even more.I could hear his faint breathing on the other end, so I knew he was still there, listening. He just wasn’t saying a word—or maybe he didn’t want to.“Fine. Since you don’t want to say anything, I’ll just hang up now,” I said sharply, my thumb hovering over the end-call button.But just as I was about to hang up, his voice came through, hoarse, low, and unexpectedly electrifying.“What?”The sound of that one word sent an odd jolt through me. I froze.“Goodness, Lessie, get a grip!” I mentally scolded myself, smacking my forehead. “Don’t tell me you’re losing

Lessie's POV “No way! I need to save some for later,” she pouted, kicking her hands in the air.James rolled his eyes. “Stop throwing a tantrum and just eat already.”Jasmine scoffed. “You should be on my side, but no! Instead, you abandon poor little Jasmine.” She let out a dramatic sob.I pressed my lips together, trying to stifle my laughter. What was Jasmine doing? Her fake tears were painfully obvious.James rolled his eyes even harder this time, and I just couldn’t hold it in any longer.“Hahaha!” I burst into uncontrollable laughter.“Mommyyy!” Jasmine whined, already knowing why I was laughing.“Fine, I’ll eat.” She huffed, pulling the plate closer. Without looking at any of us, she grudgingly began eating.James’ cheeks puffed out, clearly trying to hold back his own laughter.I picked up my food and started eating too, but midway through, I noticed Nanny Adele hadn’t touched her meal. She simply sat there, watching the kids.“Aren’t you eating?” I asked.She lowered her hea

Lessies POV Before I could say another word, Jasmine had already leaped onto me."Yay! Mommy, are you serious?" she squealed, bouncing with excitement. I knew just how much she loved outings."Yes, I am," I chuckled softly."Alright, alright, let’s go already!" She dusted off any stray hair from her clothes before standing straight. Her excitement was unmatched, and I would do anything to keep seeing that joy on their faces.Even James seemed pleased. He didn’t show it outright, but I could tell from his demeanor."No, first, we need to pack our luggage so that when we return, all we’ll have to do is take them out," I said firmly."Okay!" Jasmine spun around and immediately got to work.Nanny Adele followed suit, checking for any clothes or items that still needed to be packed. It wouldn’t be ideal to leave the city only to realize we’d forgotten something important at the hotel.James looked around for anything that needed packing, but when he found nothing, he decided to help by ha

Lessie's POV “Was he threatening me?” I exhaled sharply, frustrated."Fine then, let's see what he can do to me." I shrugged, tossing my phone aside before slipping into my clothes.Today was our last day here. Our flight was scheduled for the night, which meant we still had the entire day to prepare.I refused to let Freddie ruin this for me.After dressing, I peeked into the kitchen and spotted Nanny Adele cooking. I waved at her before glancing down at the children.They were already dressed up nicely for the trip.Q"Mommy, how does little Jasmine look?" Jasmine kept her eyes on her dress, waiting for my response."My baby girl looks the best. You're beautiful." I smiled warmly, and I wasn't even exaggerating.I had to admit, proudly, that I had given birth to truly beautiful children. Even at the airport when we arrived, people couldn’t stop staring at them. They were just that stunning.I gently ruffled their hair, but before I could relish the moment, my phone rang again.I si

Freddie's POV "Mr. Freddie, are you on the line?""Can you hear me?"I didn't get to hear any word from him since my phone was on the floor.I clenched my fist, trying my best to suppress the anger bubbling inside me."So, this is it? She never cared about me." I let out a bitter scoff.I had been foolishly happy when she called last night. Not even in my worst nightmares did I think she was planning to leave again.She’s leaving again—just like before.Forcing a dry smile, I swallowed my emotions and bent down to retrieve my phone."Hello? Are you still there? Maybe it’s a connection issue?" Mr. Rodriguez’s voice came through the speaker.I cleared my throat and responded, "I’m hanging up now. Goodbye.""Wait, but—"I didn’t let him finish. Frustrated, I ended the call.I knew I shouldn’t take my anger out on Mr. Rodriguez, but I couldn't ignore the fact that he planned everything without telling me. How could he allow them leave without informing me? Damn it!Just as I was lost in

Lessie's POV“What?” the kids exclaimed in unison, their faces a mixture of shock and disbelief.James even jumped to his feet. “Mommy, what are you saying?”I stood frozen, my mind spinning. I wanted to speak, to say something—anything, but my lips refused to move.“Answer James, Mommy! What did you say? He’s our daddy? Who is that?” Jasmine rushed toward me, grabbing my arms and shaking me urgently.Her expression was a mix of anticipation and fear, as if she were terrified that she had misheard me.“Mommy, what do you mean? What daddy?” James pressed, growing more impatient with my silence.I looked down at him, an emptiness settling inside me.James had never acted like this before. He was always the calm one, yet now he was reacting so strongly. Just the mention of his father had ignited something in him. Was this how much they longed for their dad?“Mommy! Mommyyy! Mommyyyy!” The kids kept shaking me, desperate for an answer, but my body wouldn’t respond.I felt numb, wishing I
