My Ex-Husband's Temptation 102: Sleepover
WINTER:It had been a few hours since Cali had slept on my shoulders. My shoulders were already sore from being in the same position, but I didn't want to move. If I did, he would awaken. I wanted to stay like this even for a moment. I wanted to stare at his face for as long as I could since I could no longer go back to this moment.This felt like we were married before. The only difference was that it was I who would sleep on his shoulder while we stared at the twinkling stars in the sky. But of course, it would only happen when he would come home early. “Pumpkin…” he mumbled to himself. “Please…don't leave me,” he whispered. My heart clenched. Dammit. “I won't leave you, Cali. I promise,” I whispered even if he could not hear me or remember it. He would usually talk to his sleep even before we got married and it was cute to listen. Sometimes, I would ask questions and then he would answer on point. But when I asked him about it the next day, he had no memories of it. I bit m
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 103: Dad
WINTERI mentally shook my head at the train of my thoughts. What the heck was wrong with me? Just because he was only wearing boxer shorts meant he was seducing me. What if he was only feeling hot? The room temperature may not be too cold for him, thus the need to wear that kind of clothing.Calcifer never wore anything like that when you were married before. It was always pajamas. Never a boxer shorts.Nevertheless, this was the first time that he was drunk and the alcohol might still be in his system. “Do you really have to wear nothing except your boxer shorts, Cali?”He beamed. “Why? Are you scared that I might do something, Pumpkin?”Nonsense.What I was concerned about was how I would behave if he was like that.I was already feeling very hot and he was not helping me at all. He looked so appetizing. Delectable. Yummy looking. Dang.“Why would I get scared?” I retorted and crawled towards the bed. “You’re not that scary, Cali.” Don't look at the lower part of his body. Re
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 104: Dad (Part 2)
WINTER:One thing I noticed about that these past few days? He would always talk about death as if the topic did not make us sad. Was this a premonition that he was going to leave us soon?When I could not fathom to talk for a moment, it was Cali who broke the silence. “You will still have a lot of days ahead of you.”I was glad he was here. If not, this table would be full of crying. “My days are numbered,” he responded. “Why can't you all accept that? I am also tired of dealing with this pain.”I bit the inside of my cheeks to stop myself from crying and it seemed that Cali had sensed my mood that he was being talkative to Dad. Can't Dad see that I was also in pain seeing him like this? He was not the only one who was hurting. We were too. It was also a blessing in disguise that Liam was still innocent enough to understand everything that was happening now. “We are not ready to let you go,” I mumbled. A lump formed in my throat. “Every day, I am hoping for a miracle, Dad. And
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 105: A Day With Cali?
WINTER:Hawk looked around and landed his gaze at me. Something crossed in his eyes and disappeared before I could decipher what it was. Realizing that Cali and I were touching as if burned, I put distance between me and Cali. “H-Hawk. Y-You’re here. Have you eaten already?”“Miss Winter,” he greeted. “I'm still full.”“What have you eaten?”“I drank some coffee. I'm full.”“But…”“I'm sure Hawk knows how to feed himself, Pumpkin. No need to worry about him. He is old enough to eat for himself.”I whipped my head in Cali's direction and gave him a stern look. “Hawk does not come here to pick a fight.”My ex-husband folded his hands in front of his chest. “I am not picking a fight with him. I'm only giving my suggestion, Pumpkin.”I heaved a sigh. I hope they will stop whatever they are doing right now because it's getting tiresome. Closing the distance between Hawk and me, I asked, “Why are you here, Hwk? Did Dad order something?”He gave me a stiff nod. “Miss Winter, I came here
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 106: Children
WINTER:“What are you planning to do, Calcifer?”My ex-husband laughed out loud that tears came out of his eyes.What was so funny?When he was able to control himself, he murmured, “You always think that I am planning something, Pumpkin.”I narrowed my eyes and folded my arms in front of my chest. “Isn't that the case?”“I won't do anything unless you allow me, Pumpkin if that's what you are concerned about. You will be safe when you return home unless you're the one who will be touching me, which I don't have any problem at all.” He wiggled his eyebrows playfully, teasing me. “Over my dead body,” I exclaimed. Don't you feel excited, Winter? Imagine spending the night with Calcifer and doing things that you missed since you got married. Four years of being untouched by a man makes your body crave something carnal, isn't it?Dang it.I hated how the other part of my mind was correct. Excitement was already bubbling inside me.The kisses were enough to awaken my body. How much more i
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 107: River
WINTER:Cali let go of my hand and returned his gaze to the river. Across the sky, lightning flashed, signaling the incoming storm. At this time of the day, more people would visit the river to have their picnics laying their blanket on the ground and have their date, but it seemed that the incoming rain had stopped them from doing so. However, some were brave enough to go with the flow, making the rain their alley. "I would be heartbroken of course, Pumpkin. I cannot afford to lose you for the second time, especially if it will be my fault again.""Why would it be your fault?""It would be my fault because if I failed in winning you back, it meant I did not do my best in having you back. It meant I did not exert all my efforts in winning you back. I was complacent. That would be the biggest mistake that I would make in my entire life."I bit the inside of my cheeks. "I saw your efforts, Cali. There were changes in your behavior which I was grateful for." But still...another part o
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 108: River (Part 2)
WINTER:“All I am saying is that your gratitude to him was already too much,” Cali insisted. “For me, it's not normal, Pumpkin. Isn't giving him a salary enough?”My nostrils flared.I will just think that he said those words out of worry for me. That he did not want anyone to abuse my kindness. “No. His salary is not enough.”“Pumpkin…I'm only trying to explain it to you.”I gritted my teeth. “How dare you say it was not normal,” I growled. “You just don't know how grateful I am for all the things Hawk did for me and the family. You were not there during those times, Calcifer. That's why it was easy for you to say that I should not be grateful to him. Here's the thing. Even if I told him a couple of times my gratitude, I could still not repay my bodyguard.”He stared at me for a long time and then heaved a sigh in resignation. “You will keep on defending him.”“Of course, I would. If not, who will? Our bond is stronger than the wind.” Cali did not know what kind of man Hawk was. A
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 109: Hawk
HAWK:"Uncle Hawk, can you carry me, please?" Liam asked when we were done playing on the children's playground. “My feet are hurting now.”I guessed it was because of running so much with the other kids. This kid knew how to play and interact with the other children. Miss Winter had asked me to babysit the kid, saying she and that asshole would go somewhere else. From the way that asshole was staring at Miss Winter, it seemed the two were going on a date.Were they having a great time? Where did that jerk bring Miss Winter? Did he bring him snacks? My chest tightened.I wanted to ask Miss Winter where they would go, but held my tongue. Without verifying, I was certain that they would go on a date. And what was the assurance that Miss Winter would tell me the truth if I did ask? She won't.I was brought back to the present when Liam tugged the hem of my jacket, grabbing my attention."You're not listening, Uncle Hawk." Sweat coated his forehead and the kid smelled like the sun. I t
