Too Late, Ex-husband 61. Melt For Him
The place sank into a deep deafening silence after Becca's last statement. There were shocked looks in the eyes of the spectators, especially Freya, who covered her mouth and gasped. Violet endured the burning pain, rubbing her cheek slightly.She should have seen this coming. She was just too slow to react. Becca loved bullying her and her favorite punishment was slapping her. She should have known that the woman would never change.“Just wait and see!” The woman went on. “Once Cora brings her back, I'm seizing her from your custody and entrusting her to a competent nanny.”Violet would have entrusted Mimi to a nanny if she wanted to. Well, she'd even forsaken her job in order to give all her time to her baby. For Mimi's sake, she'd turned down every job offer. How could the woman say that she wasn't capable enough?“You said it yourself, Becca.” Violet dropped her hand, her fingers trembling and she balled them into fists. “Mimi's your granddaughter while she's my daughter.

Thinking she would meet her baby lying on the bed with bruises on her body, Violet's fear was replaced with shock.Not only did Mimi look fine, but there weren't any signs of bruises on her.She cheerfully painted Cora's face with the powder palette in her hand, giggling and throwing compliments at her. Just like Violet, everyone else was confused. “What the hell is going on here?” The first person to break the silence was Freya. Her words dragged Mimi and Cora's attention to the door. Mimi's eyes lit up immediately. “Mummy, Daddy, you're here!”She put the makeup materials away, climbed down from the chair, and scurried towards them. “Aunt Cora was right. You'll show up to check on her.”Violet exchanged glances with Clyde. They were both confused. Squatting to Mimi's height, they both held her shoulder. “Are you hurt?”“Are you alright, Baby?”Mimi giggled. “Of course. I only accompanied Aunt Cora to the hospital because she lost a lot of blood. Aunt Cora was so pitiful and n

Would Clyde admit it, or would he not? Violet glanced at him, surprised at her own calmness.But five years was enough to lose feelings for someone.Staring at Clyde and Cora right now, locked in a tight embrace, she felt nothing. “Why aren't you answering?” Becca asked. “What's going on between you two? Are those photos real?”Seriously, Violet would rather be somewhere else instead of witnessing Clyde confess his love for Cora to his parents. She picked Mimi up and left the ward.The girl looked extremely sad and she didn't look up. Hugging her arm, she sniffled silently, about to sob.Violet had to stop that from happening. The last thing she wanted was seeing her baby cry. She sat down on a waiting chair in the hallway and sat Mimi on her lap. “Mummy, Aunt Cora is innocent…” The girl wasn't over the shock of seeing her slap Cora yet. “Please don't bully her anymore, okay?”Violet wouldn't promise that.As long as Cora kept on meddling in her life, she'd keep teaching her a l

~Was Cora too desperate that she could use a little child for her selfish whims? Clyde didn't want to believe it, but the truth was right in front of him.And he’d wrongly blamed Violet, almost thinking for a second there that Cora was the most pitiful girl. Who the hell did she think she could fool? He watched Violet's figure disappear inside the elevator with their daughter.Her cold treatment was unsettling.The more Violet acted like this, as if she didn't give a damn about his feelings, the more wary he found himself becoming. Her sudden change wasn't only scary, it would turn into something chaotic if care wasn't taken.Never had he thought Violet would have the guts to talk back at his mother. Did he make a mistake by not standing up for her? But Violet didn't seem to be bothered about that. Seriously, she confused him. Clyde stood up, releasing his clenched fists. He could go after Violet and be with her and his daughter… well, he had to take care of something first.

…The Next Morning. Violet woke up to an empty bed. She wasn't even surprised that Mimi was awake already and had wandered off this early. She sat up on the bed, stretching her arm. But wait…Something didn't seem right.Last night, she'd been so overwhelmed with exhaustion that she went to sleep without minding her aching feet.It was so sore that the pain spread through her legs.But now, the pain was gone. The soreness of her feet was gone as well. Strange.She'd been walking around barefoot, and she even feared that she would find tiny bruises on them this morning. Letting go of the confusing thoughts, Violet left the bed and washed up in the bathroom. She changed into a dress better than what she wore yesterday to spite Clyde's family.Well, now that she'd agreed to stay here, she would have to dress and behave according to the family's rules.Scratch that! Pleasing Clyde or his family wasn't on her list. If he could sign the divorce before the one month was exhausted,

…At Grandpa Luke's Quarters. Clyde sat across from the old man inside the garden, watching him sip his morning tea leisurely.After having breakfast together, he'd looked forward to hearing why he'd summoned him immediately,But Grandpa Luke hadn't said anything yet so far, heightening his curiosity. Clyde had no other choice but to break the uncomfortable silence. “Grandpa-”“Why're you in a hurry?” Grandpa Luke dropped his teacup on its plate, mumbling. “I wanted to have a nice time in the company of my grandson, but it seems you can't wait to leave.”Clyde wasn't really in a hurry.Today was the weekend and he didn't have to go to the company.Grandpa Luke's summon made him anxious though.It had been very long since he'd last sat with his grandfather like this.Ever since Violet left, their relationship had become so sour that the old man couldn’t stand his sight sometimes.“Grandpa, it's not like that,” Clyde answered. “I can accompany you for the whole day.”“No, I'm old and

~The bowl of soup Becca had aimed at her ended up being thrown at her own husband.Violet couldn't believe the woman.The dining room was suddenly a mess with all the dishes sprayed with the soup. “I can see you've grown wings since you came back!” Becca shouted. “How dare you think you can challenge me!?”“Your authority in this house will only last for a few more years.” Violet wasn't cowering or giving in to her intimidation. “Why don't you get off your high horse so this place can have peace?”Honestly, she could no longer tolerate the woman's bullying. Just because she thought she was from a poor family, Becca treated her like trash. What if she discovered Violet was actually from a rich background? Would she have treated her differently? Wasn't that hypocritical? The bowl of soup didn't hit her, but the soup had stained her dress. Violet stood up, completely losing her appetite,However, Becca wasn't ready to let her go yet. “I will teach you not to disrespect me next tim

Did he think he could fool her? Any day Clyde sold one of his properties, then the world might probably end because the CJ Group was notorious for preserving its assets. “You can stay if you want. I'm leaving with Mimi.”Violet was more worried about her baby.She honestly didn't want her to grow up in this kind of environment.Giving her a hopeless look, Clyde's shoulders dropped in defeat. “I'm sorry about what happened.”“I thought you didn't believe me!” Turning her back to him, Violet folded her arms. Why was he sorry now?Hadn't he taken his mother's side?He didn't care about her, so he probably didn't mind the lashes Becca gave her.But the truth had been right in front of him. Why did he choose to turn a blind eye? “I know my Mum, Violet. I know what she's capable of.” He wrapped his arms around her, hugging from behind. “And I've made sure she won't repeat that.”Was she supposed to believe him?“Does it hurt?” He touched her arm. “I'm very sorry.”So he'd believed her i

Hearing that statement coming from him, Violet almost laughed out loud.Why did he look displeased by the gift his mistress just bought?“Yay, Daddy! You're the best!” Mimi let go of her and hurried to the man, hugging his leg tightly. “Where’s Grandma?” Clyde picked her up.He looked so happy and carefree as he spoke with her. “I bet you're having a great time with her.”“Grandma treats me well.” Mimi bobbed her head happily. “Grandma bought me a tablet and she promised to take me shopping later.”“Daddy, will you and Mummy come along?” Mimi added. “Grandma said there’s a huge mall that sells luxury things.”“If course, we'll go with you.”“I'm so sorry, Baby… Mummy's quite busy today.”They both said concurrently. Violet glanced at Clyde who stared at her in confusion. Seriously, she hated looking at his face. “It's okay, Mummy…” Mimi pursed her lips. “I'll miss you a lot, but Grandma and Daddy will be there with me.”Violet stood up with a sigh. She hated to see her baby being

Cora brought her baby some gifts.Folding her hands, Violet chortled. What trick was she up to this time? “Let me have a look,” She ordered the maid who followed her inside with the gift boxes. Violet opened them one after the other. There were a bunch of clothes inside one box, and the second box contained school materials.And then the third box contained all sorts of toys.“Wow, Ma’am Cora surely knows what the Little Young Miss needs!” The maid said in excitement. “I bet she loves her very much.”Love?Violet almost scoffed.She couldn't tell what Cora was up to this time, but she couldn't allow any shit to happen.“Dispose of them.” She pushed the gifts aside and ordered the maid, “Do that before Mimi sees them.”Because it would be hard to throw them away then as her baby might get tempted by the toys.“B- But, Young Miss-” The maid looked confused, stuttering as she packed the gifts together hesitantly. “What if it hurts Ma’am Cora's feelings? She's still here and she might

Well, that was embarrassing.Violet wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole.Shutting her eyes, she sank in embarrassment.Clyde didn't hear her moan, right? Urgh! Damnit!She was done for.How could she let his touch affect her so much?Why couldn't she get a hold of herself?Did she even have control over her body? She bit her lips, struggling to keep her heartbeat in check as the effect of his touch still lingered.Moments later, Violet was able to calm down.She opened her eyes, however, there was a storm in his eyes. Staring at her, Clyde's eyes darkened with desire, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He pressed forward and all the energy to push him away departed her. Her knees were the weakest, her entire body failing her at the moment.Honestly, Violet was afraid…This kind of effect the man had on her scared her to the core. When he leaned forward again, whispering in her ears, her insides melted immediately.“It's a servant from Grandpa's quarters,” Cly
Too Late, Ex-husband 75. A Spy
Grandpa wanted to send her baby away? Violet's heart skipped a beat. That was too sudden. Sending Mimi to a children's boarding school abroad literally meant taking her away from her.No!Violet couldn't let that happen. “You can't believe it, but when she was with me yesterday, I found out my great-granddaughter has an extraordinary talent unlike other kids,” Grandpa Luke went on. “Remember you attended a similar school, Grandson. Imagine if my great-granddaughter grows up to be as astounding as you are.”Violet walked into the area, listening quietly.She sat on the chair beside Clyde as she greeted the old man good morning.“Ha! You're finally here, Violet!” Grandpa Luke chuckled. “I wanted to see you since yesterday, but you and this silly boy were occupied by something else, right?”The knowing look Grandpa Luke gave her made her uncomfortable.Honestly, did anything happen between her and Clyde?She glanced toward the man. However, Clyde quickly looked away.That was fishy.

…Violet woke up with a splitting headache the next morning. Her eyelids felt heavy.Her whole body was sore, a numbing feeling spreading across her chest.What happened to her? Where was she?How did she end up here?Looking around the bedroom, she frowned in confusion.The more she struggled to recall, the more her headache increased. The room looked familiar though. Was she inside the mansion?Where was Freya?And her baby… wait a minute.Violet gasped as it all began coming back. The last time she saw Mimi was at a similar time. Was it yesterday?No way!Yesterday, she and Freya met Asher. Then they visited a restaurant, and then a mall before proceeding to the bar-No!Violet gasped, wrapping both arms around her. Strange how she couldn't recall all that happened after that.“Good morning, Young Miss…” A knock came from the door and the maid stepped inside, holding a tray with a bowl and some dishes on it. “Oh, you're finally awake.” The maid smiled. “The Young Master orde

She stared at him, her arms wrapped around his neck. Waiting for her to push him away or put up a fight, imagine his surprise when she slowly nodded.Clyde sighed in relief.He stepped inside the bathroom with her, a crazy idea cooking up.What if he got her drunk every day so she could always be this obedient?Well, that would be silly. Clyde turned up the water in the bathtub, making sure it was the right temperature. He dropped her favorite fragrant shower soap in it, letting it stir until bubbles formed.And then he carefully dropped her in the tub. Violet shivered before adjusting to the temperature.Closing her eyes, she let out a soft moan. Clyde was about to head to the shower, but she pulled him back. “Won't you give me a bath anymore?”No!He changed his mind just a second after hearing her moan.Clyde had underestimated himself. He'd thought he could observe self-control,Well, he'd rather save his life before she ended it in the morning. “Wash up.” He gave her the soa

Their bodies swayed and they were literally falling on each other.After the taxi driver helped them out of the car, he hurried to the driver's seat and zoomed off.Clyde couldn't take his eyes off the ladies as they felt very familiar. When the streetlight flashed on their faces his intuition became right.Where the hell were they coming from?“Speak about luck!” Harry smiled. “Isn't that your brave wife, Buddy?”Clyde hurried in the direction before they could think about crossing the street. They didn't look alright as they swayed back and forth. What happened to them, especially Violet, who seemed as if she was dozing off in Freya's arms? “Hey, that's my heartless husband.” She rubbed her eyes and squinted them at him. One arm spread across her friend's shoulders, she staggered forward and tumbled into his arms. Clyde caught her quickly, his heart racing. “Violet…” he patted her cheeks. “Why do you look like this?”“Huh? Like what?” She hiccuped. A deep stench of wine hit h

They jumped off the fence!Clyde was about to pick up his tablet when that word halted him.He glanced at the guy.Harry didn't seem to be pulling his legs.So Violet escaped.She was going to return, right?She wasn't gonna back out of her promise.Why the hell did she jump off the fence when the gates were wide enough for twenty more persons like her to pass through?What if she never came back?Well, Violet would never leave Mimi behind,But!“Your wife is quite interesting.” Harry continued, unaware of the turmoil in his heart. “She made such a dramatic entrance last night. If I knew she was so enterprising, I wouldn't have wasted those many years outside the country. Ah, I wonder how fun your wedding was.”His wedding wasn't any fun. Violet preferred it low-key.Except for the family members and close business allies, not even the media was invited.The Violet from five years ago was a completely different character from the current Violet.His wife wouldn't skip from a single s

…At The Crawford Mansion. It had been hours already. She didn't even show up for lunch.Was she still mad at him? Where was she?As Clyde sat on a couch inside the study room with a tablet in his hands, he would glance at his wristwatch now and then. He'd considered giving Violet some space for her anger to go away,But now, he was beginning to worry.He hadn't seen her again ever since she left the room in the morning.She wouldn't go to his parents’ quarters either.Was she with Grandpa Luke?Unable to pay attention to the article he was reading, Clyde dropped the tablet.He couldn't give in to her request.She had a valid reason for demanding they move to the Villa,But Clyde wouldn't take any chances.His grandfather was extremely pleased that he'd decided to live here with his family.If he suddenly moved out, wouldn't it anger the old man?Besides, there was a high chance that his grandfather wouldn't agree.His parents wouldn't agree either, especially his mother who demand
