Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband novel Chapter 223

223 Uninvited Guests 

(Jayden) 

The music is pounding, the lights are flashing, and for the first time in what feels like forever, I’m out, trying to enjoy myself. 

The new club is packed, and Lance is already in his element, a drink in hand, a grin plastered on his face as he chats up every woman within a ten–foot radius. 

I try to relax, sipping my drink and letting the atmosphere wash over me, but there’s a nagging feeling that I shouldn’t be here. I should be with Henry. 

“Relax. He’ll be fine with the nurses. You know how good they are with the babies.” 

“Yeah, but I feel guilty. What if he has a setback?” 

“He’s been going great all week. The doctor said the best thing you can do is take some you time. You’ve been there every possible moment.” 

“I know. I know you are right. But it doesn’t feel right.” 

“I’m hearing you. But, we’re here now. I’m all dressed up. Cass as well, a little less black and baggy.” 

“You are looking amazing too” She is. Her slender form in a hugging blue dress is amazing. But she could 

be dressed in a sack. I wouldn’t care. 

She’s beautiful on the inside, that’s what counts. 

“Why don’t you give it an hour and chill. Then if you still feel worried, we can ditch and go see Henry.” 

“Deal.” I down my drink and order another. Cass is the other side of me and she’s looking as lost as I feel but for different reasons. She’s never been clubbing before. 

“You okay?” 

She nods and grins. “This is way wilder than I imagined.” 

It’s getting hard to hear above the dance beat and I see some secluded booths at the back of the room away from the dance floor. 

“Let’s go get a booth, maybe we can talk without yelling.” I stand up and grab my drink, 

Winona looks at me and I nod towards the empty booth right at the end. She nods and picks up her drink to follow. Then I see Phillip coming across the dance floor. 

“Hey!” He calls and Winona turns around. 

“Oh hey, Phillip. Is Lance with you? We’re just going to that booth over there.” Winona says. 

“I’ll grab a drink and round up Lance,” Phillip answers. 

“Hurry. We won’t be here too long. We want to get back and see Henry tonight, and Sunday, we say goodbye to Ashlyn.” 

“Talk about hectic. Are you okay?” Phillip asks her.

“It’s a lot for us both. But young Henry is stable and doing well. He still has a long road ahead.” 

“Congratulations on the new baby.” Phillip holds out his hand to me. 

“Thank you, Phillip.” I take his hand in a firm handshake. 

“It’s a total bummer about the whole situation though. 

“It sure is.” I let the handshake go. I’m pleased that we can put the past behind us and be friends. 

We all head to the booth and before long I see Lance and Phillip at the edge of the dance floor deep in conversation. Phillip points to where we are sitting, and Lance gives me a wave and a look. 

I know that look. It’s the one he gets when he’s about to do something that will probably piss me off. Honestly, there’s not much else he can do to upset my week after the encounter with Mrs. Carter. 

I wave back and Phillip heads over to us. 

Lance is already heading toward the entrance again, his eyes scanning the room like a hawk as he disappears into the crowded dance floor. 

I shake my head as Phillip arrives and sits near Cass across from Winona and I. 

“Lance says he’s on his way, he’s just finding some friends.” 

“By ‘friends‘ he probably means his latest conquest.” I shake my head. “I swear he’ll never change. He makes me show up and I barely see him.” 

Winona laughs. “He never will. Oh, wait. I see Lisa!” She stands up and waves like mad. Lisa waves back. Winona is out of the booth and the pair run to each other and hug. Then they do their secret handshake which involves hands and feet and some dance moves. 

“Are 

“Are they always like that?” Cass asks with a frown. “All huggy and stuff?” 

“Every time.” 

“Damn.” 

“You’ll get used to it. Lisa always looks out for Winona and she will for you too.” 

“I guess it’s nice having a best friend to share life with.”
