Chapter 22
Catherine’s POV
1 fled back home in a panic. When I entered the door,
my heart beat very fast. I’m not sure if it was because James kissed me.
I know that I still have feelings for him, but last time when I believed that he was the man I could spend my life with, I fell down from paradise to hell.
Probably, I was just afraid to get hurt again. This time, it wouldn’t just be me but also the children.
I poured myself a glass of wine and lay on the sofa.
The more I thought about it, the more worried I was. What if James really want to fight for custody of the children?
I grabbed my phone and texted, “What do you mean?”
He replied quickly, as if he had predicted that I would text him, “About what?”
“The kiss”
“Don’t you get it, Cat? I want you to come back to me. I missed you so much.”
His words pissed me off. Who does he take me for? A woman who called upon to play?
I don’t want to talk to him anymore, I just
hoped that he could never bother me and my kids, and sign the agreement as soon as possible.
It was the family day on Saturday. I promised the
children to go to the amusement park.
The children ran over to me, sweating. “Mommy, we
want to
have ice cream.”
“Okay. Let’s go and buy i
ice cream together.”
I picked up my bag and was about to take them to the ice cream house when I
heard Albin
our to me, “Mommy, look over there.”
I looked in the direction of his finger. “Oh my
goodness! What is James doing?”
Loever
expected that James would suddenly appear and
push over the cart of 999 roses toward me
Is crazy?
Many people looked over, and I felt my face burning because it was awloward.
“You
Before I could speak, Jarnes picked up an exquisite
Linall box from the roses. “Open it.” He said in a very gentle voice
so soothing in the eats
I looked at the people around the, and then at the
children Allan cheered, “Open it, Mommy”
open it.” Adela’s eyes were filled
with anticipation
I had no choice but to open it. This was the
Marish necklace
I only glanced at it and immediately closed the box. But James Insisted on picking up the necklace and put it
I remembered how expensive it was. “Please no, James, this gift can’t repair our relationship.”
I refused and placed the necklace in his palm.I shook my head to reject him
Then I pulled the children and fled in panic.
On the way home, the children chattered and asked
non–stop.
Arab asked me with a smile, “Mommy, is he
pursuing you?”
Adela asked, “Is that necklace expensive?”
“It’s especially expensive,” Albin answered
a question, for me. I continued, “Yes, it is very expensive. So, I can’t
accept such a valuable gitt ”
“Is that the legendary 999 roses? It turns out to
be such a big bouquet..Mommy, you really should take those flowers so that our
house will become a rose garden. 1 can also invite my friends, Adela said
with a bit of regret.
‘If they only knew… If I
could only tell them.‘
I asked them to get out of the car so their attention
will be diverted. “All right. Go and take a shower. You’re covered in
on me.
They rushed into their respective bathrooms, and 1 was
ready to take a bath as well.
Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring.
Felix stood at the door. He did not say much and only
handed me a dress. “I have washed it for you I hope to see you wearing this on Sunday.” He was smiling.
I could see in his eyes emotions that I couldn’t
describe
I took the dress. “Thank you, I’m sorry I am
going to take a bath now, so
interrupted me, “I value the date on Sunday
very much. Yes, it’s very important for que “ He looked a little nervous. I stulled and nodded “Godo | Goodnight,” I said as I stalled at lun elix nodded and left. I grily closed the door,
looked at the dress in my hand, and muttered with a bitter studle, “I haven’t dated for many years. I really don’t have a decent dress for
Dreame–Read
I hung up the dress and felt that Felix was really
considerate. He was the man that every woman would dream of having in their life.
I came out of the shower and looked at the pictures
that I suddenly received on my phone. I was puzzled. When I clicked the pictures open and found that it was some private images about James. And the attached text said “Bitch! Go to hell! James is mine!”
My eyebrows were knitted together when I looked at the message like a curse
In these pictures, James was asleep. And obviously, the photo was taken after sex.
He seemed to have fun after divorce. I can guess that James had sex with other woman after we broke up. But I was still a little disappointed when I saw
the truth
It seemed that I made the right decision, I wanted to have custody of my children. There would be no way that I was going to break their heart. My heart was filled with depression.
I was about to pour myself a glass of wine to relax,
but I saw the message sent by James. 1 didn’t want to look at it. Most of the information was deleted without a glance.
When I planned to block him, the same number sent me a new message, a photo in which a man looked like Enough! I had already no interest in learning about my ex–husband’s romantic affair. I sent the last message to James,“Don’t bother me again, I have a
e James was kissing a girl with affection. boyfriend!” then I put him on the blacklist
Not a while later, a strange phone call came in, it was James, he had seen my text messages and found out that he was blocked, so he called me on a different phone.
“What’s going on, Cat? Why do you block me? He sounded very aggrieved
“Don’t play pity! I don’t want to receive any photos of you!” Then I hung up the phone. These images made me think back to eight years ago
before we divorced. At that time, I begged him like he was now. “You must
believe me, James.”
But he did not bellove me.
I looked at the number carefully and thought, it is strange. Why do I feel that the phone number looks very
Temiliar? I seems to have seen them somewhere before.”
My heart was pounding so fast,
I really couldn’t remember, but I casually stored the number on my phone.
