My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back (Katherine) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 An Accident

Fred replied, “Ms. Pearce said she’s going to the restroom.”

Lucas frowned.

If she wanted to stall for time, she could just say it.

He stopped and waited.

At the same time, the three kids also arrived in Crestburg by private plane.

Once they exited the terminal, Ethan craned his little head around. “So this is the city Mommy grew up

in.”

Ivy bounced with excitement. “Mommy’s gonna be so happy when she sees us.”

Julian shook his head, his small face set seriously as he looked at the overly excited Ethan and Ivy.

He was pretty sure Katherine wouldn’t feel happy. She’d be terrified.

Julian sighed.

Having two chaotic siblings was exhausting.

“I need to use the bathroom,” Ivy announced.

“I’ll go with you,” Ethan suggested.

“No need. You guys wait here.”

With that, Ivy dashed off toward the restroom.

She was in a hurry and ran too fast, not watching where she was going. She slammed straight into someone. The person’s legs were long and solid, and the impact sent Ivy plopping down onto the floor.

Lucas’s brow tightened as he looked down. A little girl was sitting on the ground.

“It’s you.”

The crybaby from before.

Ivy looked up and met Lucas’s eyes.

Bad Daddy.

Oh, no.

Why did it have to be him?

She scrambled up without a word and tried to run.

Thinking of the little girl who’d appeared at the hotel the night before, Lucas couldn’t be sure it was the same one, but the possibility was there He reached out and grabbed her. “Wait.”

Ivy clutched her tummy.

She really had to pee.

“Why are you here?”

Ivy pressed her lips together.

Gotta pee.

Gotta pee.

I really gotta pee!

Seeing her refuse to answer, Lucas didn’t let go.

Once at the auction house. Once at the hotel. Now again at the Crestburg airport.

Running into this little girl so many times in just two days made Lucas unable to ignore it.

Noticing her strange expression, he crouched down. “Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?”

Ivy didn’t know what to say.

“You came by yourself?”

She couldn’t say she came with her brothers.

So Ivy nodded. The moment she finished nodding, she tried to run again.

Ahhh, I really gotta go.

Lucas pulled her back again.

A four- or five-year-old, flying alone from Yarbrough to Crestburg?

Chapter 14 An Accident

Before Lucas could say anything. Ivy burst into ears. “Waaah!”

Lucas was baffled. Am I really that scary?

Why does this kid cry every time she sees me?

“Lucas… she peed herself.”

Rachel pointed at Ivy in disgust.

Lucas looked down and saw a wet patch on the little girl’s pants.

Ivy felt horribly embarrassed and cried even harder. “You’re a bad guy! Why did you grab me? I needed to pee… waaah…”

Lucas felt a headache coming on. So that weird expression earlier was because she was holding it in?

The poor kid had an accident in public. No wonder she was devastated.

Seeing her tears fall, Lucas felt an unexpected twinge of sympathy. He stood up, took off his suit jacket, and wrapped it around Ivy.

Rachel tried to stop him. “Lucas, that’s dirty. Just leave her.”

Lucas ignored her, covering Ivy with his jacket and lifting her up. “I’ve covered you. No one saw. Don’t cry.”

Ivy’s eyes and nose were red, but wrapped in the big jacket, she felt a bit safer and slowly calmed down.

“So, did you really come alone, or did you get separated from your parents?” Lucas asked patiently.

Ivy couldn’t say she was with her brothers.

“I came alone.”

She didn’t look like she was lying.

In this situation, Lucas couldn’t just leave her here by herself.

Better to figure things out first, then send her back.

“I’ll take you to change clothes, then we’ll contact your parents to come get you.”

“I don’t want to, I want

my brothers…”
