The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) novel Chapter 83

The Life Between Us 

3RD POV: 

“Of course you can,” he smiled, handing Amelia a whisk. “We can make a mess together.” 

His heart was just so full, seeing them even talking to him again after he questioned if he was visible today. 

The next ten minutes were filled with laughter, clattering bowls, and a whole lot of spilled batter. Even Hannah found herself smiling as Elijah pretended to faint dramatically when Amelia accidentally flung flour at him. 

“Mom, he’s so funny when he’s not trying too hard.” she whispered with a giggle. 

Elijah heard and his mouth went wide making Amelia laugh again. Hannah’s chest tightened with something warm and she just chuckled. 

Eventually, the brownies went into the oven half the batter somehow on the counter and everyone stood around waiting. Elijah leaned against the island, crossing his arms, that familiar glint in his eyes. 

You can do this…you can do this… He cheered himself on as he thought this would be the perfect time to ask for what he wanted. 

“So,” he started, speaking casually, glancing at Hannah, “I was thinking…” 

She shot him a warning look feeling his eyes on her. “Don’t.” 

He smiled even wider and suggested, “Three dates.” 

The laughter died down immediately and the kids stared at the both of them. 

“What?” she said flatly. 

“Three dates,” he repeated, his tone lighter than the seriousness in his gaze. “That’s all I’m asking for. No pressure, no promises. Just… three evenings. You pick the time, the place, everything and i will set everything up no matter where in the world it would be.” 

Hannah blinked, her heart thudding faster than she wanted to admit. 

Amelia looked between them curiously. “You mean like when people go to dinner and kiss?”
