Chasing My Ex-wife Back (Hailey and Cole) novel Chapter 66

The moment Debbie ended the call with Hailey, She packed her bags, cleared her table, and exited her office. Her office was really close to the city center which wasn't too far from Ollie and Enzo's school.

She got there in no time, parked the car, got down, and made her way to the twins’ class.

The two little boys were seated on the closest chair to the door. They already had their backpacks on, with their eyes fixed at the door, anticipating Cole Matthis, their father.

"Aunt Debbie?" Enzo voiced out confused when he saw his godmother instead of his Daddy who they were waiting for.

Enzo and Ollie reluctantly got off the chair and made their way towards the door, where Debbie was.

Debbie saw how grumpy the kids were. She let out a sad smile, crouched to their heights, and pulled her favorite little boys into a joint hug. She kissed them both on their cheeks. Usually, they would return the kiss but today was an exception.

"Where's Daddy? Is he waiting in the car?" Ollie asked, standing on his tippy toes, looking above Debbie's shoulders, his eyes searching for Cole.

"Yes, let him come in. I want him to meet my friends." Enzo's sad voice came through.

Tiana, the class teacher, saw them. She smiled and approached them.

"Good day ma'am," She said to Debbie.

Debbie looked up and responded with a polite smile.

Tiana crouched to the twins' height, joining their small circle.

"They've been so excited to go home. They said their Dad was coming to pick them up and couldn't wait for him to meet me."

"Yes, he's meant to but he had to attend to something important."

"Oh, I see," Tiana answered, then faced the boys. "Don't be sad sweethearts. I am sure Daddy has a good reason why he isn't here. I know he is going to make it up to you all."

Ollie and Enzo didn't react to their teacher's words.

"Thank you," Debbie said to Tiana.

"You are welcome." Tiana smiled. She rose to her feet and left to attend to other children.

Enzo had tears in his eyes.

Debbie brought her hand to his chubby cheek and caressed it. "We spoke to him this morning. He promised he was going to be here."

"Yes. He promised." Ollie added. He wasn't crying but he looked really sad.

"Yes, he did but something came up and he couldn't make it. That is why I am here to pick you both." Debbie explained but the twins said nothing and neither did they react to her statement.

"Are you both mad at Daddy?"

The boys nodded.

"You don't have to be. Like I said he is going to make it up to you both."

"Is he going to come tonight?" Ollie asked with a hopeful voice.

"I don't know yet but if you don't see him tonight, then you should see him tomorrow. I promise." Debbie brought her right palm up, sealing her promise.

Ollie nodded slowly but that wasn't the case for Enzo. He burst into tears.

"I want Daddy."
