THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [43]
BEATRICE:I was expecting that Christina and Drake would be asking about my date. How it turned out. But definitely not about me having sex over some random guy. I wished Christina could stop her mouth for a moment. She was totally embarrassing me. Could I ask the ground to swallow me now? I no longer know what I should do with her mouth. She was too blunt. Christina should be siding with me now. Not with my ex-husband. How could she put me in an awkward position? And how could she blatantly ask about sex while we were still in the doorway? Well, why would I be surprised when that was part of her personality? I should already accept all her strangeness since Everette had long accepted it.But still…I could not get used to it. But my ex-husband was another story. Why would he be asking about such things? What was his right?“Well?” Christina asked, her eyes full of mischief. "Do I have to answer that? It is too personal. I don’t usually share my private sexual activities," I fou
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [44]
BEATRICE:Why was Christina interested in my sex life? It was not like I was craving for it, right? "Where is Grayson?" I asked, changing the topic in an attempt to let her forget what she was planning to ask me which I knew would be a lot. Knowing him, she wanted the juiciest details. "Fast asleep. He told us to wake him up when you come home, but let's do it later. I need to monopolize you first. Now, tell me what happened. Everything. From beginning to end.""How about your husband? Did he not look for you? Everette must be worried for you? Why don’t you go home now and let’s continue about this over the phone? If it’s fine with you? It’s already late, Christina. My brother would be worried about you."“You don’t have to worry about me. I have a bodyguard and a driver on standby. If you are worried about something or someone, it should be you and your son. Stop wasting your time on me. Let your brother do that.”She rolled her eyes. "We've been chatting a few times now. I told h
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [45]
BEATRICE:Josh. As my future husband? I tried to feel something on my chest, but was confused about what I was about to feel. What was there to ask when he was an ideal man? The very reason why my friends liked him for who he was. There was nothing negative that I could think about him. Just pure admiration. If Josh was the one whom I married, my marriage would not fail. He loved me already and if he kept on showering me with his love, there was no way that I would not fall for him. Women feel harder if they are treated nicely. Are you sure the same goes with you? the other part of my mind asked. Would you really fall for him? Why not? I could try if my heart is ready for it. “What about Josh?” I acted, playing innocent. “There is nothing extraordinary about him.”Josh was surprisingly funny. He looked like nothing of a billionaire I envisioned. I thought he was serious. Moody. Who thinks highly of himself, but no. He was quite the opposite. You were talking about your ex-hus
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [46]
BEATRICE:Will I ever marry again? I was not in the hurry to do so. "You have to let me grow and let me act at my age. I can do this. I will approach you if everything becomes unbearable.""Alright. Fine. You could not make my worry go away, okay? I could not do that. You don't have someone to take care of you and Grayson. You know what? Whenever I laid on my bed, while my husband was softly snoring, I could not help but let my mind wander to you and Grayson. I don't want you to feel even more difficulty. You already suffered enough, Beatrice. I just want to ease your burden.""This is my problem, Christina.""Don't stop me from helping you. Everette would do the same if he is here. If he finds that you're always tight on cash, don't you think he will give you monthly assistance?""And then what? When Mom will find out about that, he would also be disowned? I would rather be with my son than drag my siblings to my problem. This is mine to carry.""It's not that of a problem. He has m
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [47]
BEATRICE:It had been a while since Christina left, but my mind would often wander on what she had been telling me. Of pushing me towards Josh. Until now, it was still a question if he was worth it or not. But I know for a fact that he was always worth it. I was just not ready. Or maybe…I was looking for someone. Especially my ex-husband? No matter how much I denied it, the feelings were still there. Still…My sister-in-law always had a point. When it comes to love, she was wiser compared to me. How come she would not become wise when she had experienced a lot of breakups and had relationships already? Each of them taught her life lessons. But sometimes, for some of them, she did not learn anything at all. How could she not when she easily falls in love? She always thinks that she’s in love with someone she barely knows. When I think about Josh, despite talking to him earlier, he seemed like a walking green flag. When I recall my friends, I would hear them talking about him nicel
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [48]
BEATRICE:“A chance for what?” I asked, rolling to my side and turned my back against my sleeping son. “What kind of chance are you asking, Drake? I could not think of anything because you do not deserve any of it.”How could he ask for it after everything he did to me? Did he forget everything? Did he forget how much I suffered in his hands? "I admit I am shameless for asking too much from you, Honey.”Honey. My heart thumped wildly against my ribcage. Honey was our endearment in the past. It was your endearment only. He never called you one. It was always Beatrice. But now…what was in his mind?“A chance to be with you and Grayson. I want you back. It is only now that I realize that you’re important to me. If you only give me a chance, I will never fail you.”I knew those were fake, just to make me warm up to him, but I could not deny the fact that my heart liked hearing those words as if I was craving for his consolations and comfort. Letting out a shivery sigh, I questioned, “
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [49]
BEATRICE:My ex-husband was hiding something from me.Drake’s silence about my question was living proof of that. My sleepiness suddenly jumped out of the window. What was he hiding? A certain part of me wanted to know about it while the other side just wanted to let it go. It was not worth it, right? Why would I be interested in anything about him? "Your silence means yes," I declared. He did not say anything anymore. "Fine. Keep that secret to yourself and tomorrow, I will learn it. Just make sure that your secret is worth it, Drake.""Beatrice," he called in a pained voice. My heart broke at the pain in his voice, making me want to take back the words that caused everything about this. "I only want us to be complete. Is it wrong to ask about that? Is it wrong to desire that?"Why did it feel as if it was my fault if I was the reason why it wouldn't be happening? Back then, it was me who would always beg at him, but now, the table had been turned. Who would have thought that my m
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [50]
BEATRICE:I held my breath as I waited for my son to respond. Please tell me that I was only hearing things. “Grayson? Who is your Daddy?” I asked once again, careful not to scare him off. "It's Mr. Drake, Mommy. I am now calling him Daddy. I like him so much, Mommy. He takes care of me when he is here. Please don't get mad at him, Mommy.""Did Mr. Drake tell you that you should call him Daddy?"He shook his head. "He did not say anything like that, Mommy. I called him Daddy myself. Are you angry with me, Mommy? Mr. Drake was not angry when I called him Daddy. I hope you are not angry, too."Am I angry? Actually, I was not. But…saying I was scared was the right term for that. No matter how much I stopped it, Grayson would still call him Dad, proof that he liked my ex-husband so much."Do you want him to be your Daddy?""Yes! Yes! Yes! Can you marry him again, Mommy? I want him to be my dad. It must be nice to be his son." My mouth went dry. "Who told you that?""No one, Mommy."
