Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband novel Chapter 313

313 Europe Beckons 

(Winona) 

Jayden leaves later tonight. I’m trying my best not to be sad in front of him. I really want this opportunity 

for us. 

As much as it was a shock for Gus to throw him in at the deep end, I can see a certain buzz back in Jayden since he’s been a businessman again. 

I like that for him. 

I glance over at him, his focus somewhere far away. “You all packed?” 

Jayden nods, sipping his coffee. “Mostly. Just a few last–minute things to throw in the bag. It’s weird, though. This time tomorrow, I’ll be in Dubai overnight. 

My 

y stomach tightens at the thought. He’ll be gone for a whole month before we can join him, and I’ll be juggling everything here–Henry, the kids, work, and planning the big move. I’ve never been more excited and more nervous in my life. 

“I can’t believe it’s finally happening.” I admit, leaning back into the couch. “Europe. I mean…. we’ve talked about it, planned for it, but now that it’s real…” 

Jayden reaches over, squeezing my hand. “Hey, we’re going to be fine. The month will fly by. And once Henry gets the all–clear, you’ll be on a plane with the kids, and we’ll all be together again.” 

I nod, though my chest still feels tight. “I know. It’s just no Anne. And I’m used to having her help with the kids. Especially Henry. What if it’s too much without her?” 

Jayden gives me a reassuring smile. T’ve already been talking to some agencies over there. We’ll get the best nannies, Winona. I’ll personally vet every single one of them. You’re not going to be alone in this.” 

try to let that sink in. It’s true–I won’t be alone. But the idea of starting fresh in a new country, without the familiar comforts, without Anne’s steady presence, is overwhelming. 

“And I’m excited,” I say quickly, not wanting to seem too negative. “I mean, it’ll be great for the kids. New experiences, a different culture. It’s just… a lot to take in. I mean I should be able to do this. Some people have like ten kids.” 

Jayden’s eyes soften as he leans forward. “I know, but you’re right to be nervous. We’ll have the best schools lined up, or if you’re more comfortable, we can bring in private tutors. 

I wrinkle my nose. “Homeschooling?” 

Jayden chuckles. “It’s an option if you want it. We’ll find tutors who can work one–on–one with the kids, help them overcome the language barrier.” 

want to give them a chance to learn more than just academics–immerse themselves in the culture.” 

“I’m sure that can happen with private tutors.”

He sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. “That’s true. But the schools may all be French or Flemish- speaking. It’ll be a challenge. Let’s do some more research before we decide.” 

“I think that’s best.” 

Jayden nods. “We’ll have support to help them settle in This is going to be a good thing for them. New environment, new friends, new culture.” 

I take a deep breath. “Yeah, I guess you’re right. For all of us, actually.” 

“Look, Win,” Jayden says, turning to face me fully. “I’ll be honest. This thing with Nexus Global… it’s going to take time. Once you’re all over there, I’m aiming to wrap things up in about three months, one way or 

another.” 

Three months. I know that’s the plan but hearing it out loud makes it feel more real. We’ll be living in Europe for at least that long. Maybe longer if things don’t go as smoothly as Jayden hopes. 

“And if things take longer than that?” I ask quietly. 

Jayden pauses, then shrugs. “Then we deal with it. But don’t think it will. I’m going to get in, see what impact a full sale will have, and we’ll figure out what’s next after that.”
