Goodbye, Mr. Ex-Husband, I Won't Come Back novel Chapter 89

Logan

Life felt better in a long time. Tessa was less cold towards me, though we rarely talked but she didn’t loathe me in the same way. She was recovering fast.

I didn’t take any risk with her health and made all the arrangements for her to feel comfortable. Sometimes, she said that she felt bored because the maids didn’t let her lift even a single thing.

But how could I tell her that I was scared when she nearly died.

My phone rang when I was working.

Raelynn’s number flashed on the screen and stress automatically consumed me.

But avoiding her calls means inviting more problems in my life when I had enough on my platter. So, I picked it.

“Hello, Ray.”

“Logan, I hope I am not disturbing you as it’s your work time.” I heard her chirpy voice from the other side.

I assumed I’d not hear her lecture this time.

“Yes, I am busy right now but you can talk.” I said in a normal tone.

“Logan, can we meet for dinner? You can decide the day according to your schedule. Please, don’t refuse me.” She said in a soft tone, I felt the hope in her voice.

But it put me in predicament.

“My schedule is packed this week, if you don’t believe me, you can check my schedule. I return home after ten every night.” I told her the truth.

“What about next week. Come on, I only want us to dine together and I know your days are quite busy so it’s hard for us to have lunch without you hurrying back to work. I feel guilty of ruining our lunch date that day. Please, don’t turn me down this time.”

Her request was pushing me into dilemma. I clarified to Tessa that I and Raelynn weren’t together and if I agree to Raelyn’s request, it might give Tessa another reason to not trust me.

“It’s fine if your conscious isn’t allowing you, Logan. You’re nervous about Tessa’s reaction. Shall I ask for her permission? I am sure she won’t object.” She said and horror filled me.

If she would look for Tessa, she might find out about Lena and I want to keep my daughter a secret from world’s eyes for her own safety.

I didn’t want Tessa to stress or feel overwhelmed because people in my world knew how to harass someone who don’t wish to be a part of such pompous life.

“Fine, I’ll be free on next Tuesday. I’ll choose a fine diner for us. Just tell me the time and I’ll take care of everything.” I finally gave in to save myself from further misunderstandings.

“Great! Thank you so much for giving me another chance to make things right between us.” She beamed with happiness.

“Ray, it’s not a date, please, don’t confuse everything. You know this as well that nothing is fine between us. We first need to talk and sort out everything with a clear mind.” I said in a straightforward language.

“I understand, Logan. Don’t worry, I have realized that anger isn’t the solution for our issues. I also want

us to talk about us. So, this dinner will be decisive for us.” She said.

Should I feel relieved?

“I have to hang up now because my meeting will start in less than fifteen minutes.” I said.

“Logan, there’s something else that I want to request.” She added and stopped me from ending the call.

“What is it, Ray? Please, hurry up. I am getting late.” I said impatiently.

“There’s a new restaurant and I really want to eat there. I saw reviews of the customers. They all are saying that it’s a place worth dining. Please, let’s go there. Our privacy will be intact.” She insisted.

I sighed because the more I’d refuse her, the more she’d try to engage us when I was planning to end things with her in a respectful way.
