Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Ex-wife, My Destination: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Daisy’s P.O.V.I’m working on my laptop, and beside me, Hope is sleeping, hugging her Rabi. I couldn’t sleep properly last night because of the dreadful memories of my past. Luke’s return to my life has reopened old wounds.I was an idiot to let Luke treat me with cruelty; now I won’t let him do it again.“Mommy.” As Hope calls me in a sleepy tone, I shift my gaze towards her. A smile spreads across my face as I see her adorably rubbing her eyes, kneeling beside me on the bed.I place the laptop on my other side and open my arms. “Come here, my little princess.”She smiles softly and immediately settles on my lap, telling me, “Mommy, Hopi saw a very beautiful dream.”“What dream?” I inquire, embracing her in my warm arms.“I saw my uncle in my dream, and I was calling him Daddy.” My face becomes pale upon hearing Hope’s words. “Mommy, will you make Uncle Hope’s Daddy?” She asks in an innocent tone, placing her hand on my face, and my chest becomes heavy with pain.Don’t cry, Daisy. Ju

Luke’s P.O.V.I close the soundproof partition of the car, separating us from the driver’s seat because I want to converse with Daisy. I’m dropping Hope and Daisy off at their home. Daisy’s gaze is fixed on the window.When I offered them a ride, Daisy initially refused, but Hope persuaded her in the end. As we settled into the backseat, Hope dozed off within a few minutes in Daisy’s arms.“Daisy,” I call her, but she doesn’t respond. She just keeps looking outside, completely ignoring me. However, I continue, “I know your anger, your hatred, everything is justified. But think about Hope. She is so happy to have her father. At least for her, let me—” I pause as she turns her face towards me and shoots me a glare.“Just stop it, Luke,” she snaps at me. “I’m keeping you away from us, for Hope’s sake. You can hurt her in the future. I’m afraid of you.”Hurt Hope? I could never do that, not even in my dreams.“What are you saying, Daisy?” I stare at her in shock. “Hope is my daughter. How

Luke’s P.O.V.“Mr. Anderson, I need your help. Can you come here?” I hear Eva’s voice from the kitchen as I settle down at the dining table with Hope.“Hope, I’ll be right back.” I walk to the kitchen after placing a kiss on Hope’s cheek.As I enter the kitchen, I see Eva standing with a stern expression, her arms folded across her chest. “I talked to Daisy and found out that you’re her ex-husband.”I lower my gaze, bracing myself to hear all the harsh words I deserve.However, instead of berating me, she speaks softly, surprising me. “I don’t know what you’ve done to Daisy in the past, but I’m certain it must have been something terrible. That’s why she is so afraid to trust you now. But Luke, I believe in second chances. I can see you genuinely care for Hope, and she deserves to have her father.”I stare at her in shock and disbelief. I didn’t think she would understand me. We have just met a few hours ago. She has rendered me speechless.She continues, “Luke, I can clearly see that

Daisy’s P.O.V.As I enter my room, the sight before me brings tears to my eyes. Hope and Luke are sleeping, with Hope lying on top of him. It seems like a dream. After the way Luke threw me out of his life, I never thought I would ever witness this moment.However, deep inside, I always longed for it. I truly wanted my daughter to experience a father’s love. Thank God, Aunt made me understand, and I didn’t make the mistake of keeping them apart.I was furious when Aunt told me that Luke took Hope to my apartment when I clearly instructed him to leave before I returned. But all my anger disappears as I witness the sight before me.I take my phone out of my handbag and capture this blissful moment with a smile on my face.After approaching them, I put the comforter over them and lean in to give a peck on Hope’s forehead. I stand up, controlling the urge to kiss Luke’s forehead.I truly hate the fact that I’m still drawn to Luke. After all these years, he still has the power to drive me

Daisy’s P.O.V.As Luke stands beside me, holding out his hand, I am just about to rise from the sofa, ignoring him, but Hope places my hand in his, giggling.A smile flashes on his face as he clasps my hand, sending a shiver down my spine. Yes, his mere touch still affects me like this, and I hate it.“Go, go, Mommy and Daddy!” Hope squeals, standing on the sofa and bouncing on it.I take a deep breath before standing up. Luke leads me to the dance floor after passing me a small smile. Five years ago, I yearned for his affection. Now, when Luke is finally treating me with kindness and care, I feel baffled.Part of me wants to push him away, to maintain the walls I’ve built around my heart to protect myself from getting hurt again. But another part of me, a part I’ve tried to bury deep inside, yearns for love from him.As we stand in front of each other on the dance floor, I look everywhere except at him. He grabs my waist with one hand and entwines my fingers with his other, drawing m
