My Ex-Husband's Temptation 71: Yes, I am Jealous
WINTER: Would my son approve of anyone whom I would choose if it was not Calcifer? If he won't, and I totally liked that someone else, would I fight for my feelings for that person? “I think there is a big misunderstanding here, Miss Winter.” My brows formed a straight line. “What do you mean, Hawk?” “I’m not trying to change Liam’s Dad. I could never be his Dad. I could never replace Calcifer in his heart.” Liam was hungry for a real Dad. He might not have asked me about his real Dad before, I believed it had something to do with his age. He was too little at that time and he did not understand the concept of a Dad. But now that he knows about Calcifer… “It will take a lot of time for him to like another man, Hawk. If you want to pursue your feelings, you should be patient with my son.” “I wish I could have an amazing child like him.” “One day, when you have your own family, you will have someone like him, Hawk. Or maybe even better.” “You’re the only woman who
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 72: Empty Pockets
WINTER: One second Calcifer was almost touching my face and another second, he was far away from me.I blinked a couple of times and then I heard a growl. "You're threatening her," Hawk declared and he put me on his back. I shook my head. If I don't stop this, they will continue fighting until we go home.Stepping away from Hawk, I muttered, “Calcifer, I'm sure Liam is already waiting for us. Will you stop fighting with Hawk?""I'm not fighting with him, Pumpkin. He is the one who’s starting the fight. You can see it for yourself, too."The way I see it, Hawk was only doing his job to protect me. "You are the one who is starting the fight, Calcifer,” I insisted. I massaged my temple. “Here's the thing. You promised to do anything for me today. Will you please stop fighting with my bodyguard? It's no longer funny, Calcifer.""You think this is my fault, Pumpkin?" he inquired with a disappointed face. He was not aware of that? “You forget he was the one who punched me on the previo
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 73: Gift
WINTER:“Mommy, I’m so full,” Liam declared after eating. The food was indeed delicious and surprisingly, I preferred this place compared to the expensive restaurants that we had dine in. This place reminded me of the foods Ynes cooked for us. I suddenly missed the old woman again. “I told you I’m going to pay for everything,” Nathalia exclaimed while laughing at Hawk. “I emptied your pockets, right? You paid a lot. To tell you honestly, I don’t have plans to stop, but I considered that you might go broke because of me.” She laughed. Nathalia was an eater. She had eaten meals good for three people, yet I did not know how she was able to maintain that figure. “I can even pay for everyone’s meals right now,” he boasted and sat back in his chair. “Everything is settled, Miss Winter. We can go to the place where you want next.”Hawk never told me how much the bill was. Seeing how Calcifer and Nathalia had eaten a lot, he might spend a fortune.My bodyguard threw an irritated look at N
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 74: Gift (Part 2)
WINTER:Calcifer stared at me as if I had grown a pair of horns. “You won't accept my gift?”Breathing deeply, I retorted, “Yes. And you need to accept my decision.”Accepting his gift was easy. Dad had given me more expensive ones and I was able to put them on my jewelry collection. But are gifts coming from Calcifer? No, thank you.He stepped backward as if he lost his energy. “You won’t accept my gift, but you’re willing to celebrate with your bodyguard. What’s the difference between him and me, Pumpkin? Why did you approve of coming with him, when you cannot accept my gift? This is only a simple gift.”There was nothing simple about that necklace. It cost a million. Or near to a million. Besides, accepting his gift for me meant accepting whatever he wanted from me. “That's not simple for me, Calcifer. If I accepted your gift, what would you want in return?”“You think I wanted a return? What do you think of me?”Pain flashed in his eyes.Did I hurt his feelings? But I was only
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 75: Badmouthed
CALCIFER:I removed my coat when I entered the house. My head was aching while my body was screaming to stay in my bed. It was already ten o'clock in the evening and I just got here. There was too much work and I wished I could bring them here. “Mr. Calcifer,” Zara called as she stood when I entered the living room. “Good evening.”I lifted my gaze. She was staying on the sofa and rubbed her eyes as she focused on me while trying to stay still. She was always like this. Among the maids, she was always waiting for me if I had not come home despite her job was to take care of Jett-Jett only. “Zara. Where is Jett-Jett?” “She's already asleep, Mr. Calcifer, while waiting for you. She was always asking you when you will come here.”“I already texted you that I will be coming home late. You also don't have to wait for me.”“I informed her about that, Mr. Calcifer, but she was not listening.” I heaved a sigh while stretching my shoulders. “Don't worry about me, Mr. Calcifer. If I will
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 76: Let Me
CALCIFER: Zara looked like she had seen a ghost seeing Carmela’s angry look. If looks could kill, the maid should be dead by now. “Miss Carmela.” “You can go to your room, Zara. Leave us.” Without being told twice, Zara hurried away as if she was being chased by someone. If I was also her, I would do the same seeing I was going to talk to Carmela. This woman was noted for not having a good relationship with my servants. “You’re just allowing her to run away?” she asked in disbelief. “Calcifer. That woman disrespected me!” she cried. “All your maids disrespected me. They don't treat me like I am their boss!” “They will respect whom they want to respect, Carmela. I also told them to respect the person who deserves it. And Carmela. I am the one who gives their salary. Not you. It is expected that they will respect me.” Given how you treated them, you will not win them, Carmela. “You think I don’t deserve it?” “You can assess yourself. Question yourself if you treated
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 77: Real Child
CALCIFER: I was no longer surprised that Carmela asked to sleep with me. Her desperation knew no bounds."How long will you continue to shove your presence, Carmela? Have you no shame? This attitude is unforgivable."Her mouth opened and closed. "Fine. If you badly wanted that woman... If you want to be with her, I don't care. As long as you have to spend the night with me. That's your responsibility to me, Cali.”My eyes narrowed. "Responsibility? Are you out of your mind? The only responsibility I had was to your daughter. Nothing else. Now, get out of the way, Carmela, and allow me to sleep. I'm tired.""Tired from what? From spending your day with that woman?”“Don't involve Winter's name. She got nothing to do with this.”“Bullshit!” she cursed, staring at the chandelier, and her eyes backed at me. “Don’t you think I deserve the truth?”I narrowed my eyes on her. "You wanted to know the truth? Fine. Since you badly wanted to know, yes. I was tired from spending the day with her
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 78: Chef Hawk
WINTER:I was scared of how Dad had been doing pretty lately. He was always in bed, in pain, and his doctors would check on him, but saying the same thing— Dad's life would only be until this month. His body could no longer fathom taking the medicine and rejected it. They said only miracles could heal him. If this was the result of being happy during Mother's Day, I should have never allowed myself to be happy. Yes, I was happy those times since I got to spend it with my child. And Calcifer?Who said that man was included in making me happy? I asked myself. Speaking of that man, he rarely came here again due to his busy schedule. Though he never failed to contact Liam. "Miss Winter...you have to eat," Hawk stated beside me. Lifting my gaze, I found him staring at me. Ah, right. I forgot I was not the only one here in Dad's room. There was also Hawk who never left my side except when he needed to do some errand such as driving the doctors back to the hospital. I made myself even
