All Chapters of He Divorced Me. Now He Wants Me Back: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Julie chewed in silence, looking everywhere but where Jotham stood. He watched in silence satisfied with himself that he’d managed to render her speechless. “The tea, Mary, don’t keep my wife waiting.”Julie choked on the food. Jotham rushed over to her, patting her back gently but it only made matters worse. Because now all Julie could think of was every part of their skin that connected. It sent her heart into a frenzy.“Move away from me,” she forced out between coughs. He didn’t listen. She pushed him.Instead of being offended, Jotham retrieved a bottle of water from the fridge. He held her chin and tipped the mouth of the bottle to her. “Drink.” His voice was firm and hypnotizing that Julie didn’t know when she opened her mouth and drank it. The smile on his face as he fed her the rest of the food was satisfying. Mary served the tea and left them in the kitchen to give them some privacy. Jotham cleared the table after she was done, which was something he’d never done in the

Julie could not believe her ears. She knew straight away that there was no way in hell Mirabel had magically found herself in the same place as Jotham. “Liar!” Julie called to her face. “You’re a goddamn liar! You poisoned my children! What did they ever do to you?” Mirabel’s face twisted in agony, like she had been accused of the most cruel thing. “I might not be the most loving person in the world but I would never ever hurt children. If I have a problem I’ll settle it with you. I can’t believe you’re accusing me of such a thing.”People were beginning to gather in the hallway to know what was going on. Everyone recognized Dr. Julie and wondered what the problem was.Jotham tried to handle the situation. “Look, let's get a donor first and then we can settle this later. You’re with your phone, right? Call Trevor, he’s our best bet since he’s the father of the kids.”Mirabel smiled a little on the inside. They couldn’t be so sure about that, which was why she’d taken the risk and we

They all waited outside for the blood transfusion to be finished. Julie was a nervous mess unable to sit still while Mirabel scrolled away on her phone. It was almost midnight when they were finally done. Julie sprang up from where she was sitting the moment the doctor came out of the room. “Doctor, how did it go?”He took off his gloves. “It went really well. The donor and the patient are both fine. Your daughter will have to remain in the hospital, though; we need to check her vitals and then monitor her for some time to ensure there are no delayed reactions. Like a fever or allergic responses, you know how these things work.”“It’s alright, I’m just glad that she’s okay.”The doctor put a reassuring hand on her shoulder before leaving to attend to his other patients.Mirabel came up to her. “I’m very glad everything is fine. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if anything happened to your daughter.”Julie met her with a blank stare. She was tired of putting up with her

Jotham looked at her like she’d grown two heads. He was confused as to what she was talking about and what the commotion in front of the hospital was.“Pictures are circulating on the net of you and Julie leaving your house together. They’re saying that Julie’s kids are yours and that you’re having an affair with her.” Mirabel explained better. I wish that were true, Jotham thought to himself. “It’s not news that I’m trying to win Julie back. As for her kids, we all know they’re not mine—these damn rumors are beginning to get on my nerves. Don’t they have anything better to do?”“Not exactly. To them, we’re engaged, remember? From the public's perspective, you’re cheating on me with my sister. You need to see what they’ve been saying in the media. It's worse.” Julie exhaled through her mouth, she just couldn’t catch a break. What the hell was she supposed to do now?She’d spent years hiding away from the media, living a lowkey life, and keeping her children from the public eye. It s

The rumors that had been circulating online had taken a toll on Julie; it had been a hassle taking Astrid back to the hospital for her checkup cause she was trying to constantly avoid the media. Vesper sat beside Astrid, reading her stories. It made Julie grateful that they had each other. The doorbell rang and she froze. She’d become fidgety cause of the numerous bad comments she had read online lately. She was scared that the hate that Mirabel's fans were displaying online would somehow make it to her door. She wasn't just worried about herself—she was greatly worried about the kids too. Mirabel's fans can be very toxic. In walking over to the door, her face morphed into anger when she saw Jotham. She only let him in the cause of how caring he had been towards Astrid. She thinks avoiding Jotham is best for now even though he has been nothing but good and kind towards her and her kids. Sometimes, she secretly wished that they were actually a happy family. Jotham had really chang
