Goodbye, Mr. Ex-Husband, I Won't Come Back novel Chapter 166

Tessa

Tears streamed down from my eyes uncontrollably as I read rubbish gossips about me and Adrian. Someone played really dirty to defame me.

“Hello, Tessa, are you still there? Don’t worry, I will press charges against the news channels and the person who did this to us, especially you.” Adrian said over the phone but I hardly heard any word.

I was dreading to face my husband. I hadn’t told him about meeting Adrian because somewhere he was the unresolved question between us. Logan always felt insecure about him.

“Adrian, I will talk to you later.” I ended the call and threw my phone on the bed.

My phone couldn’t stop ringing. I knew who they were. Logan advised me to stay calm and avoid contacting anyone except him.

What was taking him so long to come home? Suddenly, my phone lit up and I saw a message from Logan. He informed me that the article was removed from the internet.

But the damage was already done. I was about to embark on a new journey, my business, my dreams and my family, someone tried to ruin it all for me.

Wiping my tears, I picked my phone and called Adrian again.

“Adrian, I think I know who is behind this.” I said.

“Who do you suspect?”

“Raelynn Cowper.” The name came out without hesitation.

“Tessa but we don’t know where is she living or in what conditions. Riccardo Manchini went back to Italy that’s I know. It could be Lilia Wilferd. You told me how desperately she wants to remove you from Logan’s life.” He said.

“I believe it’s her. If she could kidnap a baby then she is able to do anything.” I said.

“Don’t worry, I will look into this. Please, be strong. You have faced worse than this.” He tried comforting me but I knew with time, I was getting weaker.

My family was my everything and someone was trying to break it. My kids were growing up. Lucas was mature enough to understand such matters.

What if he saw the news?

The sudden thought struck me and I rushed towards Lucas’ room but bumped into Logan.

“Hey, slow down.” He held my shoulders and prevented me from falling.

“Logan…” I broke down into tears when his soft voice reached into my ears.

“Come here, let me take you back to our room. Your face looks like a zombie.” He tried to light up my mood.

“But you still love me the most.” I buried my face more into his chest.

“Well, it’s undebatable. I indeed love you the most.” He kissed my crown.

“Logan, I want to stand up for my pride.” I said.

“Tessa, I don’t understand.” A frown itched between his brows.

“Can you arrange a press conference for me. I want to clear my name. I want to face the media’s questions because I am tired of running. Facing them bravely is what I wish to do this time.” I said.

“It’s good that you want to raise your voice and reject all these rumours yourself but those journalists are shark. Their questions would be hard on you.” He said with concern.

“I know, Logan and I am also aware of the nature of their questions but being a coward is what they want me to do so they could demean me more.” I said.

“Okay, if it’s really what you want to do then I will support you, Tessa.” He caressed my hairs, “I will arrange a press conference at the evening and also filter out shady journalists who would try to trap you and make you even more embarrassed.”
