Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 53 The success of the project
I don’t like seeing her here. My mood is getting worse."Move aside," I say as I approach my room. I don’t even think it is necessary to ask why she is here. I have nothing to do with her and don’t want to talk to her.She blocks my way. "I can understand how you are feeling. We are in the same boat, you know."I scowl at her. "What do you mean?""Come on, Edward. Don’t try to hide anything from me. I can see right through into your mind." She is smirking and looking straight into my eyes.Such provocation really annoys me. I am losing my cool."What do you want? Say it and scram."She chuckles and mutters, "Still trying to hide. Okay, then I will reveal it. You are here for Molly.""What are you talking about?" I grumble. It is embarrassing to be exposed in front of a woman like her."Stop pretending now. I know your intention." She flashed a vile smile. "You want Molly, and I want Lance. How about we work together, Mr. Brookes?"My eyebrows furrow as I consider something."Come in."

I don’t get a word she says after that. I remained numb in my seat. Although it was just gossip, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Lance’s strange behavior, his silence, and his flustered look all crossed my mind.Ruby is seeing a gynecologist! Is she pregnant? Who is the father of her baby?My heart shook at the thought that Lance could be her baby’s father. I feel sick to my stomach. I leap to my feet and dash to the bathroom.Not only did I puke, but tears streamed down my cheeks. I am terrified. My entire body is trembling.I splash water on my face, again and again. I want to wake myself up from the dream. This is not true. Lance is not the father of Ruby's child. He stated that he regarded her as a sister. I keep reminding myself. This is merely a rumor, and I shouldn’t pay attention to it. But my tears are still coming out. My heart still hurts."Uh…" I gasp and look at myself in the mirror. My face is pale, and my eyes are red. The woman looking back at me reminds me of Molly

I gasp and step back, chills pricking my body. I am too shocked to react.Ruby just said she wanted to have a baby with Lance. Did she mean the baby was Lance’s?Another wave of shudders hits me. This time, I cannot stay silent."What did you say? Did you mention Lance?""Please go away," she yells, curling into a ball."Who is the father of your baby?" I continue to ask, my voice shaking."I am begging you, don’t hurt me. Please."I am getting annoyed to hear the same words. Why is she not simply answering my question?"Ruby." I grab her arm. "I am asking you something.""Ah… you are hurting me. Let me go.""You were saying something about Lance. Is he the father of your baby?""Molly, please leave me." She no longer takes Lance’s name. She only keeps begging me, crying her eyes out.I am not sure if she took his name on purpose or if she was so overwhelmed with emotion that his name slipped out by accident."Molly…"Before I ask her some more things, I hear Lance’s voice from behind

Lance is fast asleep. Based on his tired expression, I believe he will sleep the entire day.I received several messages from my colleagues last night, asking me whether I would attend the party. But I couldn’t reply to any of the messages. I even didn’t reply to William’s call. Everyone celebrated the success of the project, and I was not there. I should go to the office and apologize to William for disappearing without informing him.I quickly got ready and went to the office.I go straight to meet William as soon as I arrive at the office. I apologize to him and tell him about Lance."I am sorry. I couldn’t inform you. I was tensed.""It’s okay, Molly. I was worried about you when you disappeared suddenly.""It won’t happen again. I promise.""Have a seat." He motions to the chair across from him as he calls someone.I sit down, feeling self-conscious."We missed you at the party last night. Everyone was asking about you, especially Amy."I drop my eyes to my lap, remembering the l

They all gasp and then grin. The next minute, Mom takes me in her arms. "Oh, dear God. Thank you for granting our wish. I am happy.""Molly, my child." Grandma spreads her arms wide.I hug her, smiling. My face is turning redder. It is quite embarrassing. But their delight makes me happy."You give us such good news today," she says, rubbing my back up and down."Lance is such a brat," Dad grumbles. "He is with Ruby, leaving his pregnant wife. Let me call him right away.""Dad, please. Listen to me first." I stop him from calling Lance. "Ruby is really in trouble. Her condition is not good. She miscarried. She needs someone by her side."Their anger at Lance dissipated a little. They understood the situation. At the same time, they are still disappointed with him."You are kind-hearted. That’s why you have no problem with Lance staying with Ruby." Mom still sounds a little down when she talks about Lance. Her displeasure is noticeable. "If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t have let my

He finds my erect nipple over the nightgown and rubs it with his thumbs.“Mm…” I let out a moan unconsciously. The pregnancy hormone easily turns me on. His sensual kissing and teasing of my nipples have made me wet down there.I can hardly stand the rush of sensations coursing through my body, particularly in my pussy. It feels as if all the blood in my body has rushed over there, making it sensitive. All I want is to feel him inside me and have him fuck me really hard.Lance, however, is gentle tonight. There is no urgency in his kisses. He is kissing me softly, sweetly as if he is afraid his actions will hurt me. He slips his hand inside my dress, touching me everywhere.I arch my back when he pinches my nipples, which are so sensitive to touch that I cannot hold back my moans.He takes my breast into his mouth, his tongue rolling over my nipple. He is pinching my other nipple between his thumb and index finger.My head rocks against the pillow, and my chest thrusts out. His finger

The next day I called Daisy to meet me as soon as I arrived at the office, but I learned that she was away from the city with her team."I will not be back before the next week," she says. "What happened? You are sounding so low. Are you not feeling well?""It’s fine. Don’t worry. We will talk later."I end the call and resume working.The latest success of the project has made the entire team enthusiastic, and they are all eager to work harder to achieve even greater success in the upcoming projects. Besides, William is encouraging us. At the same time, he puts a lot of pressure on us. As a result, I didn't have much time to think about Ruby and Lance.The next few days went by in a rush. Lance had been busy, and so had I. We rarely had a chance to sit and talk.Daisy called this morning to let me know she had returned. So, we decided to meet for lunch at a restaurant where we often meet.When I see her, I cannot control my emotions. I hug her, my eyes turning watery."Did anything h
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 60 The doubts
Lance’s POV…I have been busy these days because a lot of work has been piling up since I couldn't work due to the recent accident. I had spent a few days taking care of Ruby and couldn’t focus on work. Now that I have resumed working, I have been busy.I have been returning home late these days. Every night, I found Molly asleep when I got home. So, I thought I would return home early and have dinner with her. I would work from home if necessary.After having back-to-back meetings since the morning, I finally had time to work.Ding…My phone buzzes. When I glance at it, I notice a text message from Molly. My lips curl slightly as I pick up the phone and click on the message.‘I am tired of this marriage. I don't want to keep this relationship going. I want a divorce.’A frown flares across my brow. My smile fades straight away. The tightness in my stomach makes me really restless.Why does she want to end this marriage all of a sudden?I agree that I am unable to give her my time the

Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 92 The finale
I am somewhat taken aback as I notice the quick change in her expression. Then I realize her distress is because of what Edward did to me."Look, I have nothing against Edward." I hurriedly try to explain. "What he did is undoubtedly wrong. But it is also true that he kept me safe from Ruby’s torture. He had some misunderstandings. The moment he realized his mistakes, he released me. So, don’t be sad. Okay?"Daisy has a bitter smile on her face. Honestly, that smile doesn’t look good on her. If I had not been injured, I would have held her hands and comforted her.I can only say, "He is not perfect. But he is not bad either.""I know," I hear her say when I am about to say more. "I know him well. I am not sad because of him. Basically, it was not his fault. He was only looking for the woman he had a crazy one-night stand with. It was me who was trying to hide from him. It was I who remained silent when I realized he had mistaken you for me. I could have told you everything, but I didn
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 91 Schooling Ruby
Lance’s POV…My hands are itching to strangle her to death. But I don’t have time now. I need to stay with Molly. I will deal with this bitch later, and I swear, I will teach her a good lesson."Take her to the dungeon," I command. "Make sure you will treat her well."Treating her well entails not allowing her to sit quietly, and the guards understand exactly what I mean.I turn to leave."Lance…"I pause at the doorstep and look back at her."Don’t be so cruel. It is me, Ruby. I love you, Lance. Whatever I did was for you. All I want is to be with you. Please, don’t let them take me away. Consider the time we spent together. You like me. Didn't you say you would always look after me? Didn’t you say you would be grateful to me forever for saving your life? You cannot forget your promises. Please, Lance. I beg you. Take me back. I swear, I will not hurt Molly."I glare at her. I can see right through her mind. How pretentious she is. She is capable of outperforming Oskar-winning actres
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 90 Desperate attempts to escape
I dodge the attack and turn swiftly aside, pushing her away.Ruby stumbles, the knife slipping out of her grip.Before she can get on her feet, I pick up the stool and throw it at her. The stool collides with her back as she attempts to stand up.I don’t have time to check if she is able to stand up or pick up the knife. I turn around and flee to the door. It is shocking that I cannot open the door. I twist the knob again and again, but I can’t unlock it.What the hell is going on? Did the lock get jammed?I still try to unlock the door, twisting the knob repeatedly."Hahaha…" Ruby’s laughter resonates inside the room.I freeze and turn to face her."Oh, Molly… you are too naïve," she says between the laughs. "Do you think I am also stupid like you?" She gets to her feet, her expression darkening. "I won’t come here without preparation, risking my life. I have been waiting for this day to meet you again face-to-face. And it is the best day to kill you on your wedding day."She bends a

A month later…Molly’s POV…This is our wedding day. It is a grand wedding that any woman will dream of. The hall, which is decorated with various flowers, is packed with guests. The media is also present.I have a feeling that I have suddenly become a celebrity. My wedding gown is designed by a well-known designer. It looks so pretty.It is a strapless ball gown that fits snugly around my breasts and widens from the waist, hiding my slightly protruding belly.After holding my hair in a messy bun, the makeup artist completes my makeover.I check myself in the mirror and smile shyly."You are glowing," the makeup artist says. "Mr. Stevens will not be able to look away from you today."I blush to hear her compliment."My bestie is the prettiest one," Daisy chimes in as she walks into the powder room. She inspects me, holding my shoulders. "You look gorgeous. Your and Lance’s photos are going to make headlines tomorrow.""Has the groom arrived?" The makeup artist asks, beaming with a smi

Lance returns after some time. I am relieved to see his wound is properly bandaged."We are heading to the restaurant for dinner," says Edward. "Are you coming?""No." Lance denies his offer, his gaze lingering on me. "I will ask the room service to deliver the food here.""As you see fit. Shall we go?" Edward nods at Daisy.Daisy hugs me and whispers in my ear, "Enjoy your meal with your husband, and let me enjoy my boyfriend’s company."I smile in response.They walk out. Now, I and Lance are alone in the room. We continue to stare at each other silently.Lance has told me many things today. He has been honest with me. He has cleared many doubts in my mind. I now know that he genuinely loves me. I also understood why he always took care of Ruby.He was only trying to repay her favor.Favor?I am still perplexed as to when Ruby saved him and how. I cannot help but say, "I’d like to know how she saved you.""I will tell you everything." Lance holds my hand and takes me to the bed. "It

Lance’s POV…My heart aches when I recall Molly’s sad look that evening. I was confused and apprehensive at the time and couldn’t reveal it to her. I wanted some time to think about it before concluding anything. So, I didn’t tell Molly anything about it when she asked me.That was another mistake I had made. However, I don’t want to repeat the mistake, so I decide to disclose everything to her."The doctors said that there were some complications in her pregnancy, and the fetus was weak. He recommended bed rest. Ruby often called me while I was at work and cried a lot, saying she feared her baby would suffer from cancer just like she did. I pitied her and used to go to her to console her."I pause when I notice her suspicious look. I know exactly what she is thinking. I clasp her hands. "Believe me, I only intended to console her. I owe her this life. She saved me once.""She saved you!" she exclaims, a look of disbelief spreading across her face.I nod. "Yes. I am taking care of her
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 86 His explanation
I cannot stop crying. I feel so guilty.Out of anger, I came so far away and put myself in danger. Because of me, Lance got hurt. I shouldn’t have acted impulsively. I could have stayed at the resort and questioned him."Sorry." I apologize to him again."Stop crying," he consoles me. "Listen up. The rain is getting heavy. We need to take shelter somewhere."I don’t know how far the village is from here. Since it is getting dark and raining, nothing is clearly visible. Furthermore, I don’t know how the people will be. As I look down at the three people lying motionless on the ground, I cannot help but shudder.I don’t want to put my trust in the villagers. I’d better head to the next bus stop."There…" Lance pointed to the right. "I can see a building there. Let’s go."I also spot a building-like structure in that direction. But I am reluctant to go there. I tug on his wrist and stop him."I'm not sure what danger lurks there. What if we come across more goons like these?" I nodded to
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 85 Lance rescuing Molly
Molly’s POV…I am so lost in my thoughts that I don't realize all of the passengers have left. The driver asks me to get down since it is the last stop.I hesitantly get off the bus and take a look around. The area is deserted and looks scary. I don’t know where to go. At this moment, I regret acting recklessly. I shouldn’t have come so far away from the resort.It is started drizzling now. I have to get to the bus stop shed quickly. I take my phone from my purse, thinking to call Daisy."Oh!"I am stunned and disappointed at the same time when I see no signal on the phone.I dejectedly sit down on the bench and look at the road dazedly, hoping the next bus will come soon.Maybe a taxi.I remember Lance running after the bus. I wonder if he is still looking for me."Will he come here looking for me?" I murmur in a trance."Are you waiting for the bus?"I almost jump when I hear a husky voice.Three men are coming toward me, smiling vilely.I immediately know I am in danger. I stand up

"Molly, you are getting it wrong," he says. His nervousness is clear in his demeanor.Why is he so nervous if he has done nothing wrong? What is he trying to hide?I scowl at him suspiciously."Yes, she was here. Believe me, I didn’t call her. She came here on her own." He comes in closer and holds my hands."And you met her secretly," I add, my heart tearing apart.He hangs his head down and nods slowly."Why?" I snarl, withdrawing my hands. My fingers are shaking in rage. My insides are clenching in agony. I get emotional, and I cannot say a word.All the bitter memories from the past rush into my mind, making me feel that he can never forget Ruby. He always preferred her and rushed to her whenever she called him. I am sure he might have done the same thing."I met her because she was depressed. She was…""Depressed?" I scoff before he can finish speaking. "She is always depressed… pitiful. You always go to her. Why, Lance? If she needed you, I wouldn't have stopped you from going t
