Chasing My Ex-wife Back (Hailey and Cole) novel Chapter 67

"No. I'm too old to tell lies."

Cole sighed deeply and Jessica saw that he was trying so hard to hold back tears.

"Are you Okay?"

"I honestly thought I lost her already. I mean, things were starting to take off on a high note for us and then this happened."

"I understand. I was scared too. But turns out Hailey isn't about to let anyone mess with her man. She is willing to protect you from the world. Even from her bloody step-sister."

Cole's expression turned soar. "Please tell me she didn't go all the way to her family house?"

Jessica shrugged. "I tried warning her not to but I was too late. She was on her way there when I called."

"Hailey!" Cole sighed, massaging his temple.

"She could get hurt! Vanessa is a witch! She might frame Hailey with something. I wouldn't forgive myself if anything were to happen to Hailey because of me."

Jessica chuckled. "You have no idea of the kind of woman you are in love with, right?"

Cole stared, confused.

"Hailey's the kind that would go the extra mile for the ones she loves and cherishes. You are her man and she is doing what any woman who is in love would do to mark their territory."

"Besides, She needs to speak sense to her family members. Most especially to Vanessa. Vanessa would keep trampling on her right if she continued to keep quiet."

"She is doing the right thing. You need to trust her."

"I know you are worried about her safety but Hailey is going to be fine. She is strong and fierce. I believe her and her words."

"If you are still worried, I will give her a call if she isn't here in an hour. How about that?"

Cole nodded.

"Did you hear from my Dad? He must be so worried."

Jessica shook her head. "But I think he's aware. The news is all over. He spoke to me before you called me. He was worried you were acting so strangely."

"Yeah, we finished from a meeting and he followed me to my office, asking questions. I can't believe Vanessa stalked me and Hailey. Now my father is suspecting that I have kids."

"Vanessa is a psycho. She really needs to be in a mental home. I used to pity her, thinking she was genuinely in love with you but this is just some silly obsession."

"Not after all she did today. Love is patient, love is kind, and mostly, love is not selfish. You can't claim you love someone and ruin them."

"I am definitely going to deal with her my own way. I will make sure she gets a grave punishment for all she put you through."

"I feel like I am never going to enjoy my life If She is still in the picture. I want her to disappear from my life forever."

"She will, I promise you."

"But don't you think it's high time to tell your Dad about the twins? Maybe that would make him less worried about you."

"I do. I really want to. But then, Hailey and I are just waiting for the right time."

Jessica nodded.

"I should go speak to the officer so we can discuss how to get you out of here."

..............

"Sorry, I am embarrassing myself before you." Moore sniffled, pulling away from the hug, and wiping tears away from his eyes.

"It's fine. I really needed the hug too. And I am so sorry about your past."

"Don't mention. Like you said, it is in the past. It's just that no matter how hard you try to move on, some wounds never heal."
