Too Late To Love Me I Already Left With His Twins (Lydia and Dave) novel Chapter 87

Because what just happened?

Yeah… I needed to unpack that.

The drive home was quiet.

Too quiet.

My hands were on the wheel, steady, but my mind?

All over the place.

Dave. 2

In my office.

Sitting across from me like nothing ever happened.

Like he didn’t wreck my life and walk away from it.

Like I wasn’t the one who had to rebuild from scratch.

Like I wasn’t the one who had to carry two children and a broken version of myself at the same time.

I let out a small laugh.

Sharp.

Dry.

“Mr Ashton,” I muttered to myself.

Of course.

Of course that’s how this would happen.

Not a warning.

Not a heads up.

Just… boom.

+15 BS

Boardroom.

Aesentation

Eye contact.

Like some twisted full circle moment.

Not my work.

Not my peace.

Definitely not my children.

By the time I got home, I had already decided one thing.

Dave Ashton stays in the past.

Where he belongs.

I stepped into the house and before I could even drop my bag

“Mummyyyy!”

Two small bodies rushed toward me.

Impact.

Arms.

Noise.
