Goodbye, Mr. Ex-Husband, I Won't Come Back novel Chapter 30

squirm.

I was leaning on him as my body might crumble on the floor. I was in my senses but my body failed to cooperate.

Tilting my chin up. our eyes met as he stared down at me.

“Yes, Ruby invited me and I couldn’t say no.” I replied.

“And you said ‘yes‘. Come on, Tessa. If it wasn’t for your driver, I’d never find you out. You’re drunk.” He looked annoyed but at the same time, he was worried. I could tell it.

“I was just looking for an escape tonight, Logan.” I whispered.

“Tessa…” He parted his lips to say something but held himself back.

“You know the divorce isn’t easy for me. I never wanted our marriage to end like this. You don’t love me but you were gentle with me. I have a son. My life was perfect. I never wanted more.” I didn’t know if it was the alcohol that kicked into my system.

I knew I would end up being hurt but the alcohol was an excuse to express my unspoken feelings.

He protectively wrapped his arms around me and led me out of the club through the back exit. He wrapped his blazer around my shoulder as I was wearing a strapless dress.

He helped me to get inside his car. I didn’t rebel or ask him. I knew he was taking me home.

“I was never against you going out with your friends. It just you’re still naïve and unaware of people’s intentions.” He broke the heavy silence.

I tilted my head to glance at him, his jaws were clenched and it was obvious that he was angry.

“Adrian isn’t a bad person and he wasn’t flirting with me.” I defended my friend but I wasn’t sure of my own statement.

“Tessa, his hands were all over your body. How could be so oblivious?” He snorted.

I looked away to hide my red cheeks because if it was true then Adrian would surely get a lecture and a prior warning from me.

“I only wanted to enjoy a few drinks. It was Ruby’s boyfriend’s club so it was safe for me. Don’t worry, no one had seen Logan’s Wilferd’s wife. Your reputation is safe.” I said.

“Do you really think I was worried for my image?” He frowned at me.

I couldn’t decipher the emotions or thoughts which flashed in those frosty blue eyes.

I chose to remain silent for the rest of the ride back to our home. Once we reached, he again unfastened my seatbelt and

stretched out his hand for me to hold but I tried to step down on my own.

“Your pride won’t be gone if you take my help, Tessa.” He said in a flat tone.

I was testing his patience.

Without waiting for my response, he grabbed my waist and helped me to stand on my feet.

“Be careful.” He said softly this time.

“Don’t be gentle with me, Logan or It’ll be hard for me to live alone.” I looked up at him as we entered in the silent house.

My eyes turned misty. His gaze softened and he used his thumb to wipe the tiny tears.

“I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you, Tessa. In fact, I can never pay for the sacrifices you made for me and Lucas. He’s blessed to have you as his mother. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.”

He spoke as we reached at the doorstep of my room but none of us tried to let go of each other’s hold.

“But you hurt me beyond repair, Logan. It hurt here.” I pointed on the left side of my chest.
