Goodbye, Mr. Ex-Husband, I Won't Come Back novel Chapter 153

Logan

Tessa was challenging my determination. I didn’t know if she said that she could date someone only to irk me or she actually thought about it, either way, I wouldn’t accept it.

She was mine. The day we exchanged the vows, I knew I’d not let another man near her.

“Mom, I am home!”

My disturbing thoughts came to an abrupt halt as I heard a slightly mature but same voice of my son after years. My head snapped in the direction of the front gate from where an older version of Lucas entering.

He was too focused on his mother that he didn’t notice me. He looked more like me, I could see my younger version in my son. It was definite that one day, he’d break many hearts.

“Luke…”

I whispered his name as my throat was constricted.

And it caught his attention. His attention shifted from him mother to me and his whole posture stiffened, his eyes widened in shock.

“Dad??”

He blinked his eyes trying to process everything as he looked dumfounded.

“Yes, my son. I am here and…” My voice choked, “You look bigger.” My eyes moistened again.

He was my first born. I had loved him more than anyone in this world, he was my world until I realized my feelings for Tessa and then Lena came. They three become my lifelines.

He dropped his school bag on the ground and then looked at his mother.

“Mom, what is Dad doing here?” He asked Tessa.

My heart dropped because he was mature enough to understand the turbulence in his parents’ marriage. He held me accountable for the collapse of our marriage.

“Lucas, please, talk to him nicely.” Tessa pleaded him.

He shook his head, “No, he should go back to his girlfriend. We’re happy here without him.”

I felt like the air was knocked out of my lungs.

“Lucas, behave.” Tessa scolded him.

Lucas was right. I invested my time and trust in wrong people.

One of them was his biological mother who had lied to me since the very start.

“Sir, don’t worry. His anger will calm down soon. He’s only protective of his mother.’ Kelly’s voice forced me to divert my gaze from the distant mountains to my old maid.

She was holding a cup of coffee.

“Thank you, Kelly. You still remember that I need a black coffee whenever I feel stressed over something.” I smiled taking the cup from her.

“I do remember everything and I am sorry that I also left without telling you, Sir. I was your employee and I breached the contract I signed before starting my work as your house help.” She looked guilty but I waved my hand.

“Kelly, I don’t think if the contract is still at the house. It no longer existed ever since you accepted us as your family and thank you for choosing them. They needed you more than I needed your service at my house.” I said.

There was a brief silence between us.

“It’s not place to ask you but what happened to Raelynn?”
