Goodbye, Mr. Ex-Husband, I Won't Come Back novel Chapter 163

Tessa

Nostalgia hit me when I inhaled in the air of the house that I left four and a half years ago. I could smell the roses and the jasmines, the one I planted myself. The house was as I left it.

“Welcome home, Tess.” Logan wrapped his hand around my shoulder.

“I am at my home and the feelings is good.” I said wiping the moisture from my eyes.

“Daddy, is this our house? This is so big.” Lena stretched her arms.

“Yes, and you are the princess of this house.” Logan picked her in his arms and together we walked inside while Logan was behind us.

Her big blue eyes were looking around in astonishment. She wasn’t aware of her identity as a rich man’s daughter. I gave my kids a comfortable life but there wasn’t luxury like Wilferd’s.

The house staff hadn’t changed. They greeted us warmly.

“Daddy! Wow! This is very big and beautiful house. Will I also have my own room?” Lena squealed around the living room.

“We already have your room decorated, Lena. Come, I will show you.” Logan held her hand and took her to the room which he had designed over time with my help.

Lena’s old nursery was transformed into her new room and next to her was Lucas’ room.

“Are you coming?” Logan asked me but I shook my head.

“No, I think I’d let you and your daughter catch up and I am having jet lag.” I shook my head and sat down on the sofa.

Logan took Lena to her room. My attention then turned to Lucas. He was quiet throughout the flight. I could see that he was sad to leave his school and friends behind.

It was crucial but a hard phase for him.

“Come here, sweetie.” I patted the space beside me.

He shifted closer to me and I pulled him into a warm hug.

“I understand that you miss your friends and our house and our neighbours but this is a part of our life, Luke. We must learn to be happy and positive in every situation.” I said.

He only hummed in response and I thought it was better to give him some time. He’d eventually learn to adapt himself in his old but new surroundings.

It took me five months to settle everything in Vienna. I didn’t close my business but hired professionals who’d manage the company there in my absence but I’d be flying there once in a month to supervise.

Logan helped me to open a branch in our home city. He made sure that I’d buy everything on reasonable prices. Instead of building a new workshop and office, he brought me a client who gave their building to me on lease.

“Lena is over the clouds after seeing her mermaid themed room and especially her bed in the shape of a pearl shell.” He said with sparkle in his eyes.

“Lena doesn’t seem to miss her old life much but I am worried about Lucas. He’s strangely off. I know him. It’s something else but I don’t want to pressure him. I hope he’ll be his old self soon or at least share his problems with us.” I shared my concern about Lucas.

He held my hands and rubbed my knuckles.

“We’ll always support him as his parents.” He said.

We soaked in silence but it was comforting, just two of us.

“Will you share this room with me?” He asked.

“I’d still need a separate room because sometimes I have to work till late night.”

“You can take all the rooms here but I want to wake up next to you every morning.” He said leaning closer.

I lowered my gaze as his hands roamed on my thighs under the water. I knew where it’d lead but I wasn’t going to deny.

After years of being deprived of love and touches of the man whom I loved madly and deeply, I wanted to drown myself in the depth of pleasure.
