Semua Bab My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Haley's POV:I hadn’t slept. Not really. I might’ve closed my eyes for a bit, but I didn’t rest. Not when my heart felt like it had been pulled from my chest and stomped on. I laid in bed, staring at the shadows on the ceiling, thinking about everything I’d built—everything that had crumbled overnight. The worst part was, I didn’t need anyone to explain. I didn’t need a text or a call or some ridiculous excuse. The truth had already been delivered to me, neatly wrapped in a notification on my phone. A photo—Joey, naked, curled up beside Sebastian, just like a wife might lie against her husband. It wasn’t just the intimacy of it—it was the ease. As if she belonged there. As if I never had.I stared at that image for so long the screen turned black. My hands felt numb. My chest hurt in a way that couldn’t be soothed with sleep or tears. I knew then—there was no going back. Not after this.But even with all the pain, even with the betrayal still fresh in my veins, I knew I couldn’t break

After Ricardo’s full-blown fairy godmother makeover, I didn’t just walk into Lily’s birthday party—I arrived.The moment I stepped through the grand entrance of the Hartwell estate, conversations stilled. Heads turned. Champagne glasses paused mid-air. Whispers rippled through the crowd like wind stirring silk.“She looks incredible—who is that?”“Isn't she beautiful?""She looks like a model."“No way. She looks like a Vogue cover.”It should have made me uncomfortable. A month ago, I would’ve shrunk into the wallpaper. But not tonight.Because tonight, I looked like a goddamn phoenix. And I’d burned the ashes of my past behind me.Logan Hartwell’s hand slid into mine, steady and warm. I glanced up at him, and his lips curved—not with smugness, but with quiet pride. Like he knew what it took for me to be here like this.“They’re staring,” I muttered, unable to keep the nervous flutter from my voice.“You are stealing the spotlight.” He gave my hand a gentle squeeze."Is that a proble

The moment the cake toppled over, the entire room seemed to fall into stunned silence. The lively chatter and music came to an abrupt halt. A soft thud echoed in the hall as the tall, beautiful and elegant cake fell onto the floor and turned in a messy heap of frosting and cream. The second, it happened, gasps filled the air. I was too shocked to speak and for some reasons, I looked at Lily. While she was staring at the mess with the wide eyes and her little fingers were still holding onto mine tightly.Meanwhile, I was too dumbstruck. I was not expecting such an outburst from Jordan. He was hyperventilating as he looked at me.Joey panicked and rushed to the scene as she tried to control the situation. “It’s okay, Jordan, it was just an accident,” she called out, reaching for him. Her voice was filled with panic, but she was trying hard to maintain some composure. “Come on, you should come to Mommy.”Jordan’s expression shifted. His face twisted in anger, his fists clenching. Then he

Sebastian's POV:My mind was a mess. I was not expecting to see Haley at the birthday party of Logan's daughter. Moreover, the way she was dressed up and stood next to him, looking so confident and while holding the hand of his daughter, it made my blood boil.The moment we returned home, I stepped through the front door, a sharp ache settled in my chest. The house was quiet, but the silence was deafening. Or perhaps the noise inside me was too loud for me to notice anything else.Jordan was also upset, he was hyperventilating and threw his shoes somewhere in the living room before he shut himself in his room."Jordan-" I called him from behind but it was clear that he did not want to talk to me.Joey approached me, her eyes searching mine for something—comfort, understanding, maybe even affection. She reached out, her hand gently touching my arm. "Sebastian," she whispered, her voice laced with concern.I pulled away instinctively. "Joey, not now." I was too mad at Haley to focus on

Sebastian grabbed my hand, his eyes filled with hurt. I knew him too well. This was one of his tricks, one of the manipulative games he always played to make me feel guilty. I quickly pulled my hand away, refusing to fall for it."You just want me to visit Jordan, right?" I said, my voice shaking with anger. "I can do it. He is my son afterall. No matter what happens between us, I cannot abandon him."He stared at me for a moment, disbelief written on his face. "Visit- What?? You want to just walk away from everything and leave me with nothing?""Jordan doesn't want me," I answered, trying to stay calm, though my emotions were a storm inside me. "I can understand that. You and Joey have already filled him with so much hatred about me that he is not going to open his heart for me again. This is the reason why he wants you to marry Joey as well. But Sebastian don't you dare ask me for blessing. I have never liked Joey and the way I was forced to leave my house because of her-- I would n
