HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE CHAPTER 0018
CELINE’s POV-As I put the twins to sleep, I carefully stood up to not disturb Sunny. I fixed both of their blankets and kissed them before I left them in their room. I ensured the dim light stayed on to prevent the twins from getting scared upon waking.As I proceeded to the living room, I saw Tristan sleeping on the sofa. His feet are over the sofa because of his height. It looks like he’s also tired of playing with the twins.We went to Gurnee Mills mall. We went for a walk there; we ate at the twins’ favorite fast-food chain; they played in the arcade and most of all, Tristan bought the twins’ toys again, Skye had car toys and Sunny had a human size teddy bear that is now on the side of her bed.I approached Tristan and gently shook his arm to wake him up. I did a few shakes before he woke up.“Hmm? Celine?” Tristan called sleepily.I help Tristan get up. “I thought you already left,” I said as I sat down next to him. “Would you like coffee or tea?” I asked.Tristan shook his he

CELINE’s POV-“You will not go home yet?” I’ll change our topic.“I’m planning to sleep here.”My eyes winded. “What? There’s no extra bedroom here, you know that.”Tristan taps the sofa. “I can sleep here on the sofa.”“But it’s not comfortable to sleep here on the sofa. Your body is merely half of the sofa. ”“It’s okay for me to sleep on the sofa. I don’t want to sleep in your room when we’re not official yet.”“But–”“Celine, I want you all to be safe. I couldn’t even rest at my house if I was aware that Lance might come here. I want to protect you. Allow me to sleep here for just one night.”It looks like I can do nothing about Tristan’s wants. Another thing is, Tristan is right. It’s possible that I couldn’t even sleep deeply after the chaos earlier at the Stellar restaurant.I nodded in approval. “All right. I will only bring you an extra pillow and blanket in my room. ”After I got one pillow and the blanket, I returned to the living room to give Tristan to this.“Thank you,”

CELINE’s POV-After I fixed the twins, we left the room straight out of the apartment. Tristan went out first because someone called him. He said that one of his family was calling and Tristan didn’t want the children to hear what they could talk about and Tristan might say bad words.“Mummy!” Skye called me as I locked the door.I held the twin’s hand in both of my hands as we headed to the parking lot.“Yes, sweetheart?” I asked calmly.“Where’s daddy Tristan?”I couldn’t help but smile when Skye suddenly looked for Tristan. Not even half an hour after Tristan disappeared from our sight, he was immediately looking for Tristan. Jst the day before, Skye didn’t even want to see Tristan.I stopped walking, so the twins also stopped. I sat in front of the twins to match them both.They both smiled at me. I want to cry the way Skye smiles now. Usually, Skye is always frowning, while Sunny is a jolly person who is always smiling.“Sweetheart, Skye, can you tell mummy why you’re not mad at

CELINE’s POV-When we reached Stellar restaurant, Tristan went straight to his office while I was at the reception desk.I’m not a chef or sous chef, I just often help in the kitchen since I somehow know how to cook. Besides the fact that the chef in the kitchen is enough, Tristan has four sous chefs.Stellar restaurant is jointly owned by Tristan and I’m also an employee. Right now I am also the acting manager since our manager resigned because she is moving to another country to start a new life. “May I see how many made reservations today?” I told Bianca, who is also the receptionist.“Here, ma’am.” Bianca said and handed me the clipboard with about ten bond papers attached and printed with the names of those who reserved for this day, as well as the time and numbers.“Wow. The number of people who made reservations are almost all female names?” I laughed as I asked.“Don’t you know, ma’am?”I looked at Bianca. “Which one?” I ask as I return the clipboard to her.“Most of the wom

CELINE’s POV-Despite sounding upset with the person he was talking to, Tristan’s voice still conveyed a sense of calmness.When Tristan faced me, his eyes widened and the person he ended the call over his phone.“Have you been there for a while?” Tristan asked calmly.“Not at all. I just heard that your brother doesn’t want to get married, either.”“Ah, you heard about that.” Tristan just said and let out a sigh.“You and your brother both don’t want to get married… yet?” I commented as I sat down.“My brother and I have different reasons. He doesn’t want to get married, while I–”Tristan paused in his speech without taking his eyes off me.“Meanwhile, for me, I already have a bride who I want to marry.” He continued.I felt guilty. I feel like I’m one reason why Tristan can’t negotiate with his family right now.“Tristan, you know it won’t be easy for me to–”“And you know I’m ready to wait for you, Celine. You are worth waiting for. You and our children.”I wasn’t sure what to say

CELINE’s POV-When the customer was getting quieter and Tristan rested, he called me to his office. It was almost past twelve noon for lunch when he called me to his office. “I think you could tell me now what you and Lance talked about earlier?” Tristan asked as I sat down.I detailed Lance’s planned perversion to Tristan if I hadn’t allowed him in this morning. Tristan nodded after I told him the full details. “Now, I understand. What are you planning now?”“Nothing.” I answered straight and sparingly.Maybe because of the way we cooked him a burnt breakfast earlier, he won’t come back here. We didn’t even serve him coffee. Another thing is that lunch is over. Maybe he won’t come back here.“We’ll appeal if he threatens again.”“Huh? Why?”“Why not? He's messing us especially to you. I want to protect you from him.”“You don’t need to do that, Tristan.”“I have to do this so that he won’t mess with us, especially with you.”“Really, you don’t need to do that. One more–” I paused

CELINE’s POV-“You forgot that all the CCTVs are connected to my phone.”Holding the knob, I looked behind me again and looked for CCTV. When I saw one CCTV, I smiled there and waved.“Did you see me?” I asked Tristan from the other line.“Yes, I also saw Lance is there as well. I’ll be back there.”“No.” I said. “Can you pick up the twins and wait for me at the apartment?”“What? Why?”“I’ll manage everything here, and there’s a chance Lance might do something silly.“But,” I heard from the other line the exhalation of Tristan’s breath. “Okay. I get it. But I will call you from time to time.”“Thank you so much, Tristan.”As I ended the call, I just sighed and closed my eyes for a while.Maybe it’s better to deal with him–to Lance, than to run into him again and again. I don’t know what his purpose is in troubling me, but one thing for sure is that it won’t do anything good.Following, I opened my eyes. I jumped in shock when I saw Lance in front of me. His dry eyes used to look at

CELINE’s POV-“Is it possible for you to please continue with everything you’re saying, Celine?” Lance said without taking his eyes off me and the way he looked at me, there was fondness in his eyes.I shook my head once. Maybe I am only misinterpreting his perspective. Why would he give me that kind of expression when he doesn’t even have any sentiments for me?“I mean sir, I suggest you have a four course meal. You can find an example on the menu for both individual course meals and combined meals, making it easy for you to decide.”“No. no. That’s not what I meant, Celine. Your suggestions earlier? The foods you know are my favorites and what foods are good for me? Those–”“Sir, if you haven’t chosen yet, I can give you time to choose what you want to eat.”“No, need for that.” Lance said before I could step out in front of him, “I already decided what I will order.”I nodded, then prepared my pen and paper.“I would like the four course meal.

CELINE SALVATORE POV-I put back my gaze at the secretary. “Thank you.”I stood up and left in front of the secretary.I took a breath and it seemed heavy to know about that thing. It was clearly a work discussion, but the thought lingered–I quickly dismissed it from my mind.I shouldn’t waste time thinking about other things. Lance loves me, he loves our children, we love him–it is the important thing and above all I trust him.I was about to get in the car but I saw the man get out of the car and come towards me.“Can we talk?” Lucian asked as he approached me.I sight at the time on the watch I was wearing. “Sure.”——————————Lucian take me in a private restaurant, where he rented the entire restaurant for the entire time.I invited him to a coffee shop, but he refused. He said what he had to say was a private matter.When we arrived at the restaurant and sat down, the waitress served us food, after that, Lucian told them to leave us.“I’m sorry, Lucian. I didn’t plan on staying lo

CELINE SALVATORE POV-“What do you want for dinner?” I asked Lance after I cleared away the container. “I’ll cook dinner.”“About that.” He held my hand, his other hand caressing my knuckles. “I’m not sure what time I’ll be home. I still have a lot of work to finish, so I can finish everything by tomorrow.”He sounded sorry, as if the sin he had committed was too big.“It’s okay, don’t worry.” I said with a smile to ease his burden. “Just, please, take care of your health.” I said, almost begging. “On our wedding day, I don’t want our friends to drag you down the altar so our wedding can go ahead.” I joked.“I won't.” He said, laughing, then hugged me tightly, just enough so that my body wouldn’t be trapped in his arms. “Thank you for giving me strength. I don’t even need to drink energy drinks anymore.”I hugged him back.For a moment, the surroundings became silent as we still hugged each other.“Celine.”“Hmm?”“Can we have one round?”I pulled away from the hug. When I looked at h

FREYA POV-After I finished fixing myself, I put the final touch on my makeup, my red lipstick as red as blood. I checked my phone first. I tightened my grip on it seeing that until now, after two days, Lance announced his engagement to the whole world. They all kept talking about all this. Our wedding back then, it maybe, was grand because I pressured him into every detail but to announce to the whole world he didn’t do it. He hasn’t said who he’s going to marry yet but I’m sure it’s his pathetic ex-wife he’s going to marry.I called that stupid thing, but he still didn’t answer my call. In my annoyance, I threw my phone somewhere in my hotel room. That stupid. I cooperated with him back then because he promised he could find a way to keep Celine and Lance away. I even sacrificed my smooth face and skin. The beating me back then in the old building was our plan. No one kidnapped me. It was all a plan to make Lance believe someone else hurt me. After beating me and got hurt, I shoul

CELINE SALVATORE POV-“As soon as possible?” I asked, with a hint of doubt.“Why don’t you seem sure?” There was concern in his voice. “Didn’t you change your mind?” There was fear in his voice.“Of course not. I just don’t know if your schedule can handle it if we get married so soon.” I spelled out.The worry on his face quickly disappeared after I explained it to him.“When would you like us to get married?”“Before our kids go back to school, so they won’t be confused about which surname to use and can use your surname.”“When is the new school year for our kids?”“Two months from now.”“Two months?!” I was the one who was worried by his question. “W-Why?”“I thought I would have to wait just less than a month to marry you.” I lost my concern. I thought he was the one who changed his mind now. I wish to give back my surname to you. If possible, we will get married next week.”“That’s a short amount of time for preparation.” I explain with a beaming face. “On a serious note, when

CELINE SALVATORE POV-It’s not like it used to be that my children wake me up every morning, now I wake them up.Skye and Sunny were still rubbing their eyes when I woke them up.“Good morning, sweethearts.” I greeted them and gave them a sweet kiss on the top of their heads.“Good morning, mummy.” They greeted me sleepily.My smile widened seeing their father was still sleeping soundly. I saw that his forehead was unfurrowed, he didn’t smile widely, but his face was peaceful. He looked like a puppy sleeping. He was so cute when he slept like that.For all the years, I think this was the only time I’d seen him sleep. In all these years, I finally saw Lance sleeping without anger on his face.“Daddy!” Skye and Sunny happily approached Lance at the same time.Sunny climbed onto Lance’s tummy while Skye was on the side of Lance’s face.“Daddy, wake up!” Sunny woke up. I came closer to them, theb supported Sunny’s body when it moved.“Daddy!” Skye and Sunny woke up at the same time to th

RAYNE ‘ASHLEY’ EVANS POV-Pure happiness washes over me for my friend. She deserves that kind of happiness. The proposal alone almost made me cry with joy for Celine. How much more so when they get married? I would like to witness their wedding. Just by their smiles, I can feel the overflowing joy.“Yes, I’ll be there tomorrow.” I replied to my soon to be manager. As I ended the call, I took a deep breath. I have to say goodbye to Celine that I will need to leave.I was about to head back to the garden, but close to where I was standing, I saw Hendrix approaching Sabrina.“What do you need again?” Sabrina asked irritably.“I’m just reminding you of my proposal.”Sabrina scoffed. “You’re crazy if you think I’ll accept your marriage proposal. If you have nothing to do in life, don’t bother me.”Marriage proposal? Something seemed to tug at my heart when I heard that.At the instant Sabrina left Hendrix’s presence, I approached him before he could walk behind Sabrina.“Why?” I asked tear

After counting to three, we will blow out your candles together.”Our children affirmed with a smile.Lance and I moved closer to our children and then our friends and family counted.“One! Two! Three!” As mentioned the three, we simultaneously blew out the birthday candles one after the other. When w

He prepared children’s games, which everyone took part in except Don Charles, Sir Frederick, Yuichi and Giovanni.Giovanni wanted to take part in the games, knowing him he would do anything for his nephews, but in his condition, he pretended to cry on the side when Skye and Sunny looked at him.For now, we have given everyone time to rest after the games, and now I am sitting at the table with Christine and Astrid.“You should have told us what Lance did, so we burned him inside one of his hotels.” Astrid asseverate in a frustrated tone.Christine just mentioned that she had just found out from her husband about what Lance had done when I disappeared without saying goodbye six years ago. She mentioned that not because she wanted to bring up the pain I was

CELINE SALVATORE POV-“Mummy, I saw Skye and I’s cake.” Sunny said in amazement when she returned to our room after drinking water downstairs. “Our cake is so big, it’s bigger than daddy’s height.”It was our children’s day. We made their birthday an early dinner party because most of the attendees were close friends of Lance and I. My family with Ashley were coming from Italy who had just landed here thirty minutes ago and the Morgan family was coming from San Diego.“My cake is yellow and Skye’s is blue, just like daddy and Skye’s eyes.” Sunny continued with her story. “Is Uncle Lucian coming?”In six years, except Lucian was with us, he was never absent from Skye and Sunny’s birthday. So they got used to Lucian attending their birthday, especially Sunny.“Yes, sweetheart.” Lance answered. “Your Uncle Lucian is coming.”I told him yesterday that our children can look for Lucian on their birthdays, and he said he understands that. What’s important to him is that our children no longe
