The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 145
Chapter 145Ryan’s Pov“I love you, Sienna,” I whispered under my breath as I stood near the edge of the patio, just within earshot of Sienna and Lucas’s conversation. My jaw tightened at Lucas’s pathetic attempt to win her back. His groveling made my stomach churn, but her responses kept me glued in place, hoping she’d shut him down for good. “You had your chance,” I muttered to myself, gripping the edge of the wooden railing. “Ryan?” I turned sharply to see David approaching. He had a quizzical expression, his arms crossed. “What are you doing here?” he asked, his gaze flicking toward Sienna and Lucas. “Nothing,” I replied quickly. “Just making sure Lucas doesn’t pull one of his stunts again.” David frowned. “You’re eavesdropping. That’s not right.” “I’m not eavesdropping,” I said defensively. “I’m looking out for her.” David didn’t look convinced, and I sighed. “Fine. You’re right. It’s not my business. Let’s grab some drinks and cool off,” I suggested, slapping hi

Chapter 146 Lucas's Pov“Lucas…” Her voice was soft, almost like a whisper, as she turned slightly in her sleep. I froze, standing at the edge of the bed in Sienna’s room, watching her closely. She was fast asleep, her face peaceful yet slightly flushed from exhaustion. Hearing my name again stirred something deep inside me. This was the second time she’d murmured it, the first when we were at the bar. I leaned closer, careful not to wake her, wondering if it was my imagination. “Sienna…” I whispered back, but she didn’t stir. She shifted again, her lips moving faintly, and my name escaped her lips once more. My chest tightened, and I pulled back. As much as I wanted to be near her, I wouldn’t let it look like I was taking advantage of her in such a vulnerable state. I sighed deeply, brushing a hand through my hair. “This is not the right time, Lucas.”Leaving her room, I found David nearby, pacing anxiously in the hallway. “She’s still asleep,” I said quietly. “I need to

Chapter 147 Sienna's Pov“Where’s Daphne?” David’s voice pulled me out of my slumber, and as I blinked my eyes open, I realized I was in his arms. I felt disoriented, like I had been asleep for days. “She’s with Lucas,” he said softly, helping me sit upright. “What happened to me?” I asked, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “You fell asleep out of nowhere. You looked so tired, so I didn’t wake you. I thought you needed the rest.” I blinked again, still trying to piece together my thoughts. “How long was I asleep?” “For hours,” David said, smiling gently. “I figured it was time to take you home anyway.” His warmth and kindness were always comforting, but a small pang of unease settled in my chest at the mention of Lucas and Daphne. “Daphne’s still with Lucas?” “Yes,” David confirmed, his tone careful. “Are you okay with that? I mean...him taking her?” I hesitated. “She’s his daughter, after all. I just...I don’t want him thinking he can swoop in and claim owner

Chapter 148 Lucas’s Pov"Jenny, you’re okay with taking Daphne out, right?" I asked over the phone, my tone light but distracted. “Of course! Daphne’s adorable,” Jenny responded cheerfully. “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.” I sighed, trying to shake off the lingering annoyance that Lisa’s recent actions had left behind. I already sent her packing, and honestly, I didn’t have the energy to dwell on it. Right now, all that mattered was spending time with Daphne and enjoying the rare peace I had made with Sienna, even if it was fragile. When Jenny arrived, Daphne’s face lit up. “Aunt Jenny!” she squealed, running into her arms. I chuckled at her excitement and helped Daphne into the car. Jenny settled into the passenger seat, chatting animatedly with Daphne while I drove. I felt a faint sense of relief watching them. Maybe things could be normal, even if just for a day. We decided on a park near a popular cafe for our outing. Daphne couldn’t wait to play, so I carried her t

Chapter 149 Sienna’s PovI felt like my body weighed a ton when I finally walked through the door of my home. Exhaustion was an understatement. The day had been chaotic, and every muscle in my body ached from running errands and dealing with the people in my life. I dropped my bag on the couch and immediately grabbed my laptop. There were a few emails to send to companies I knew needed consulting, and I wasn’t about to fall behind on my work. As I typed out the last email, I found my thoughts drifting to Ryan. He hadn’t returned any of my calls or texts, which wasn’t like him. My fingers hesitated over the keyboard before I finally grabbed my phone and dialed his number again. “Ryan?” I asked when he finally picked up after several rings. “Sienna,” he said, his voice calm. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you. I’ve already headed out of town. I needed to clear my head.” I sighed in relief. “I was just worried. Are you okay?” “I’m fine. You take care of yourself, Sienna. And

Chapter 150 Lucas’s PovI sat across from Jenny, her sharp eyes scanning my face as I sipped the last of my whiskey. She had been quiet for a while, waiting for me to explain why I looked so distracted. Finally, I sighed and spoke. “I’m not even sure if I still love her,” I admitted, leaning back in my chair. “But I’m sure of one thing; I’m falling for her again. It’s like…I can’t let go. I don’t want to. It’s all I know right now, and I’m holding onto it.” Jenny smirked, setting her glass down. “Well, Lucas, that’s progress. It’s about time you figured out what you want. But I’m guessing this revelation doesn’t make things any easier.” “No,” I said, shaking my head. “Not at all. But I know what I have to do now.” Jenny nodded, her expression softening. “Then go after it. Just remember, you’re not the same man you were. She’s not the same woman either.” We left soon after, her words replaying in my head like a mantra. When I got home, the silence hit me harder than usual. T

Chapter 151Sienna’s PovThe soft buzz of my phone startled me. I reached for it, half-distracted by my thoughts. A message had come in, and as soon as I saw Lucas’s name, my heart tightened. I already knew what it would say. “Good morning, Sienna. Just a reminder to meet me tonight. I’ll come with Daphne. Please, just us.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. Part of me had been waiting for this, and another part of me wasn’t ready. Why did he always manage to push his way into my thoughts, even when I swore I had moved on? I sat there staring at the message. There was a small voice in my head whispering that I shouldn’t go, that I should let him feel the cold edge of rejection. But another part of me, a quiet, stubborn part, wanted to be there, alone with him, to see if Lisa was still in the picture, to understand his intentions. For all his mistakes, Lucas was Daphne’s father. And as much as I hated admitting it, he had been acting differently lately, calmer, mo

Chapter 1Sienna’s POV“What do you mean by let’s get divorced? What about our baby?” I subconsciously rubbed my tummy, looking so perplexed.I couldn’t believe my ears. Why would Lucas suddenly propose a divorce when I was finally pregnant after our two years of marriage?“Can’t you just get it, Sienna?” Lucas ran his finger into his hair, pacing around the room, looking so frustrated.And of course, I couldn’t get it. I couldn’t understand what was going on.I knew Lucas only had his eyes on someone else, but she had gotten married to someone else who was his uncle. Lucas begged me to marry him, promising me he would love me and show the whole world I was his wife. Our marriage of two years had been going perfectly well, but not until a few days ago. Lucas had been coming back home late. He had been receiving some strange calls, but I didn’t think much about them. I thought it was just business, but now it doesn’t look that way anymore.Is Lucas seeing someone?That can’t be true.

Chapter 144Sienna’s Pov“You are admired beyond measure, and I’m deeply sorry for everything I’ve done to hurt you,” the message read. Along with it came a box of expensive chocolates, a delicate bracelet, and a handwritten letter. I sighed, setting the gifts on the counter. “Lucas,” I muttered to myself. Who else would send such a message? Still, I brushed it off, refusing to let it distract me. I had more pressing matters at hand, packing for the vacation. I called David as I zipped up Daphne’s bag. “We’re all set,” I told him. “Great,” he said, his voice warm. “I’ll pick you both up soon.” But as I ended the call, another thought crossed my mind. If David and Ryan could just get along, this trip might actually be enjoyable. Against my better judgment, I picked up the phone and called Ryan too. “Ryan,” I began, “I was wondering if you’d like to come on the trip with us. Daphne would love to see you.” There was a pause on the other end before he answered. “Of course. If

Chapter 143Lucas's PovI sighed as I stared at my phone. I had been calling Lisa repeatedly, but every call went unanswered. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks, Lisa was gone for good. “Good riddance,” I muttered under my breath, but even as I said it, loneliness wrapped around me like a cold blanket. My life had become a mess. My company was struggling, my fiancée was gone, and the only people who brought me happiness, Sienna and Daphne, wanted nothing to do with me. Unable to bear the emptiness, I grabbed my keys and headed out to a nearby bar. I sat in a corner, nursing my drink. It was my third glass, and I was already feeling its effects when a cheerful voice interrupted my thoughts. “Mind if I join you?” I looked up to see a woman with short, curly hair and a bright smile. She seemed out of place in the dreary bar, but her energy was contagious. “Sure,” I mumbled, gesturing to the seat beside me. “I’m Jenny,” she said, holding out her hand. “Lucas,” I re
