Winning My Ex-Crush 75: Me Too
Fenella’s POVAlthough confused, Laird eventually complied with me. He pulled the car over to the side of the road and parked it. When the car finally came to a safe stop, he finally looked at my face closely."Are you okay?" he asked."No, I'm not okay," I said, shaking my head.He then looked at me with a furrowed brow. The corners of his eyes drooped, and he gazed at me with a mix of sadness and confusion."Sorry, Fenella. You must be disgusted with me for lying and being too scared to confront Rebecca," he said as he gently reached for my hand.I shook my head again, and tears slowly began to flow uncontrollably. My tears streamed down my cheeks, and I unbuckled
Winning My Ex-Crush 76: A Shady House
Fenella’s POVRepeatedly, I asked Laird about our destination, but he refused to tell me. It seemed he wanted to surprise me, so I eventually just went along with him. As we drove further towards the edge of Astoria Heights, I could only imagine why he would bother to drive here.He parked the car in front of what appeared to be an old house. The house was nestled among rows of other houses with red brick walls. The garage and front yard looked neglected, and I almost thought the house was vacant."We're here," he said as he got out of the car.Confused, I could only follow suit and step out of the car. We walked up to the front door, and he rang the bell."Do you still have free time today?" he asked."Yes. I told Jessy, and we might have to reschedule for later," I replied, shrugging."Well, this will only take a moment, I hope," he said, pressing the bell once more.We waited for quite some time, but there was still no answer. He frowned, and I waited for any movement or sound from
Winning My Ex-Crush 77: Private Little Office
Fenella’s POV"Bravo, come here. This is your lunch."The woman slowly walked past me and up the stairs. Then, she extended a partially peeled banana to Bravo, and the animal leaped into her hand. Bravo eagerly grabbed and bit into the banana. In Rowan's hand, the big sugar glider appeared obedient and calm."Thank you for finding him," she said with a wide smile this time."This is Fenella, and this is Rowan," Laird introduced us briefly."Good job, Fenella," Rowan said with a smile."I didn't do anything, really," I replied, shrugging modestly with a restrained smile. Truly."Come inside." Rowan invited us to follow her through a door across the room that Laird had entered earlier. We climbed the stairs until we reached a small room."You're lucky that it was me and Fenella who found him," she said behind Rowan."Sorry. I think Dave forgot to lock the back door when he left earlier," he muttered softly while stroking Bravo in his hand."Be careful," Laird advised the woman."Yes, La

Fenella’s POV"How do you feel about it?"Laird asked with a small smile. I was sure he was nervous right now. He looked at me closely with his emerald green eyes, observing every movement of my face.Truly, I was starting to understand that my opinion mattered to him. There was a fear that I might criticize him, perhaps, but of course, I wouldn't shatter his dreams like that."Baby, I think you're amazing. I've always believed in you since we were kids," I said, holding Laird's hand."I still remember how you were always the star student in school. I'm confident you can do it and will do a great job." I spread a genuine, wide smile on my face.He used to dream of becoming a professional baseball player, but now he wants to be a businessman. Well, that's great. Whatever Laird does, I know he will excel at it.Laird held my hand tightly. His thumb gently stroked the back of my hand, and he smiled broadly after hearing my words of encouragement."Thank you, Fenella. Your support means a
Winning My Ex-Crush 79: Distant Memory
Fenella’s POVWithout realizing it, time passed quickly as we stood in line to buy pizza and placed an order for delivery to Dave and Rowan's home—a small surprise gift for them. The sky stretched clear without a cloud in sight, with the midday sun shining brightly in early November.Lunchtime had begun, and most people were enjoying their packed lunches at the wooden tables. Laird and I chose to sit under a shady tree without a mat, letting the grassy ground serve as a comfortable cushion.I was nestled in Laird's embrace while we playfully fed each other pizza with affectionate giggles. From a distance, I noticed several young children starting to arrive at the small baseball field in front of us, filled with enthusiasm in their baseball uniforms."Hey, look. They're the Little League team." I looped my arm around Laird's."Yup. Brings back memories," he said, his gaze drifting over the scene in front of us."Yeah, Laird. You used to be so dedicated to playing baseball. Do you remem
Winning My Ex-Crush 80: Our First Kiss
Fenella’s POVI still remained silent, refusing to answer. My heart was beating fast. Laird's interrogation that forced me to answer was something I didn't like.If he saw my facial expression, I knew he could easily guess my answer. Therefore, even though Laird kept asking, I still covered my face with my knees."Hey, are you going to accept him?" Again and again, he forced me to answer.His taunting eventually disturbed me. I'm impatient and easily triggered by emotions. So, his voice, the way he manipulated words to persuade me, and his mischievous fingers twisting my loose hair now make me even more annoyed."Stop it," I said irritably."Tell me," he continued to persuade me."Stop! I'm going to reject him!" Finally, my emotions exploded, and I exclaimed in frustration."I've answered. Are you satisfied?" I glared at him, expressing my frustration.He simply remained silent. It seemed he was surprised by my answer. Laird's eyelids blinked, then he stared at me intently. Yes, I kne
Winning My Ex-Crush 81: Birthday Boy
Fenella’s POVOn November 10th, it was Laird's birthday. Of course, we celebrated it together. Laird had already reserved a table at a famous restaurant known for its intimate ambiance and live jazz music.Laird said he would be arriving soon to pick me up, so I didn't want to keep him waiting too long. With my hair neatly tied up, wearing a black bolero jacket with floral patterns, a sleeveless knee-length black midi dress, and ankle-high boots of the same color, I stood frozen on the sidewalk in front of the apartment."OMG!"My mouth dropped wide open, and I immediately covered it with both hands. I held my breath, eyes wide. A red hatchback car with a license plate I knew very well pulled up in front of me.The car I knew so well and had desired since last month. Yes, the same red car that I drove crashed into the park's fence late at night. Laird stepped out of the car with a broad smile."OMG, Laird!" I held back a scream with a wide grin."Yup, I know," he said, nodding and app
Winning My Ex-Crush 82: Big Projects
Fenella’s POV"Well, Fenella, dear, please sign here." Jessy handed over a folder containing job contract documents.My mouth dropped open as I looked at the stack of documents he placed on the table. I had just finished a magazine cover shoot and decided to take a short break in the café outside the studio with Jessy. After this, I still had another appointment later in the afternoon for a small promotional video shoot on social media.I was sure the list of projects I signed last month hadn't been completed yet, and now I was signing another stack of new project contracts. Wasn't I incredibly lucky?"This many more?" I asked incredulously."Yes, isn't it great? You should know Alan really went all out to promote you to all the agencies and producers." Jessy waved both his hands and emphasized each word, making sure I knew it was all real."Wow, it really feels like being the main model at an agency is starting to make a difference," I said as I began to open one contract title after
