My Ex-Husband's Temptation 84: Now, We Are Talking
CALCIFER:“How was it? Did Miss Winter say "I love you two?” Nathalia asked as she sat in front of my table. She was the happiest when she heard I said my love for Winter.I ordered her to go while I talked to Winter over the phone, but she came back instantly. I heaved a sigh.The smile disappeared from her face. “Oh. She turned you down. Our great CEO of the company. My half-sibling was turned down by his ex-wife? I’m so disappointed in you, Mr. Calcifer. You’ve been with two divorces already and you still haven’t learned how to court someone? Eh. Like what the…”“Winter is not ready,” I grumbled, cutting off her words. She gave me a front-teeth smile. “Not ready? Or maybe you haven’t shown your feelings more than enough. Maybe you haven’t shown her how you feel. Courting a woman should be sincere and consistent. Your good deeds should remain for as long as forever.”“Forever does not exist. Our time in this world is limited. People die. There is no forever.”She rolled her eyes a
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 85: One Real Love
CALCIFER:“That’s my specialty. Playing Cupid to every couple. Have you heard about Dina and Felix? I was their bridge and succeeded in pairing them up.”I did find out about the newly married couple and they said it was all thanks to Nathalia. Could I trust her?I was a proud man. I believed I was capable of doing anything in life. I could make everything I did successful. This company was evidence of that. From scratch to now. But when it comes to Winter, everything is becoming difficult. It was difficult to woo her. She was always irritable around me. She was always indifferent. Her hatred had run deep and her emotions were valid. I hurt her in the past and no amount of forgiveness will make her forgive me that easily. “It will be your loss if you won't ask for my help,” she continued when I did not say anything. I admit that the bodyguard's presence made everything complicated. He was a threat to our relationship. What was worse was that Winter was considering him.I clenche
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 86: Family Day
WINTER:It was Family Day already. After being postponed because of some unforeseen circumstances, it was already continued. And here we were, already inside Liam's nursery school.“Aren't you coming with us?” I asked Hawk for the nth time when he pulled over in the parking lot. There were a lot of parents pouring inside. We still have an hour left to start. We were too early, but Cali did not want us to be late. “I am fine, Miss Winter,” he said and stepped out of the car. The next thing I knew, the door beside me opened. I stepped outside while Cali and Liam did the same. “Are you sure, Hawk? It will take us a long time before we finish the program. I don't want you to get bored waiting here.”His expression remained emotionless. “Don't worry about me, Miss Winter.”I hated how cold he was still cold around me. He had not totally forgiven me. Not yet.“She's not worrying about you,” Cali muttered. “Stop your delusions. Let's go, Pumpkin.”Hawk glared at Cali and the two were back
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 87: Offer
WINTER:"That man is old enough. Stop trying to be his babysitter," Cali grumbled. "Babysitter? You think I'm babysitting him? You're saying nonsense, Cali. Hawk is the most mature person I have ever met. He was way more mature than you, okay?"He looked down on me and pain flashed in his eyes. These past few days, all I did was hurt Cali—intentionally or not. "Winter. You were not like this before. May I be honest with you? Whatever you are doing right now is scaring me, Pumpkin. It seems like you're drifting away from me and getting even closer to your bodyguard."I averted my gaze. "What do you mean, Cali?""You were not this concerned about your bodyguard. I wanted to believe that I am losing the chances of having you back."Oh, shot. Speaking of Hawk, I forgot to bring him here with us. He was my freaking bodyguard. Why did I leave him in the car?Was he supposed to be our bodyguard? He was no longer doing that but was now an errand boy or a driver. I made a mental note to
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 88: Why Don't You Choose?
WINTER: I smacked Cali’s head. It was not that hard, but it was enough to address my annoyance towards him. The child, witnessing what I did towards my ex-husband, saw it, got scared, and ran away crying for his Mommy and Daddy. I felt bad for him. “Look what you did to the poor child, Pumpkin,” Cali declared, his eyes following the child’s direction. He stopped at the two couples and pointed in our direction. Not wanting to scare them, I waved my hands at them, but they glared at me. My eyes went back to Calcifer. “Imagine our second child would do the same, Pumpkin. Isn’t it lovely? I never knew how it felt to hold a newborn’s body. But I am willing to experience it again with you this time, Pumpkin. This time, you will no longer be feeling alone. I will be with you from the beginning until the end, Pumpkin. Liam and I will be there for you,” he declared softly. The image of him and Liam while they took care of me in the hospital resurfaced. My heart tightened. What
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 89: Are You Scared?
WINTER:Others felt proud whenever men fought for them, but for me, it made my stomach churn. I did not like any of it especially if I would be the reason why the two would hurt each other.I just wished these two would become best friends in the near future, but maybe I was only asking for too much.“May I remind you two that the goal is to lift Liam? To bring him to his room. Not to argue between you two?”“Isn’t it time to choose between us, Pumpkin?” Cali asked, not looking at me. A low growl escaped from his lips. “It’s time to put someone in their proper place.”A shiver ran down my spine.Would they fight again? Shit.Please do not be under my watch.I exhaled loudly. “May I remind you too that from the beginning, I told you not to pursue whatever you are doing if you will not persevere. Don’t force me to choose any of you,” I muttered harshly. I was not ready, and I don’t think I would be ready at all. “My life was at peace when you did not enter our life, Cali. So, please?
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 90: Article
WINTER:Maybe it was my anger that made me open my mouth. The kind of anger that I rarely felt. “You want to know the answer?”“That’s why I am asking, Miss Winter.”“Does it matter so much?”“Yes, because I want you to be happy with Liam even if it means I won't be. Your happiness will be mine, too, Miss Winter.”My eyes teared up. Dammit. Why was I getting emotional? Was it because this man did not deserve to be in pain? “I hate it when you are like this, Hawk. Do you know that? I hate why you want my happiness to be on top.”“All I wanted is for you to free yourself from any burden.”“You're not a burden!” I chastised. “Liam is happy to be with you. Do not think of such evil thoughts.”Why would he be a burden when he was there when I needed to rush Liam to the hospital? Why would he be a burden when he saved me from dying of exhaustion because Liam wouldn't be crying nonstop the whole evening? Not only was he my personal bodyguard, but he volunteered to be Liam's babysitter whe
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 91: Calcifer
WINTER:I stared at Cali in disbelief. “Why would I do that, you ask? Are you freaking serious? Do you like it when the world knows about Liam? You never respected my decision, Calcifer! You never changed.” I exclaimed and stood, pacing back and forth.I glanced at the screen. He was staring at me with a relaxed expression. There was not even any evidence that he was panicking because of the article. Perhaps you're overreacting, Winter. What if it's high time that the world will know about Liam?What would I benefit from if they knew about Liam? Nothing!"I never respected your decision, you say. If I did not respect your decision, Winter, I would be coming to your house to see you and my son. You said you want me to distance myself. And I did. How come I never respected your decision? Which part did I not respect your decision? It was you who first called."And I did not, you won't call me? I mean you won't contact your son?The only thing that I was grateful for was that Liam seem
