Walking Away While Pregnant: Dear Ex-Husband, I Don't Love You Anymore novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 135

Last night, Lily had insisted on sleeping with Elise. Fearing that the little girl would disturb her rest, Alexander had intended to coax her out of it, but Elise said it was fine. In the end, Lily got her way and slept with her.

Early the next morning, Alexander woke up and headed downstairs to check on them, finding both Elise and Lily still fast asleep. He went to a nearby market to buy fresh ingredients, borrowed the guesthouse kitchen, and started cooking.

At 8:30, Josh was woken up by his alarm. After washing up and coming downstairs, he found Alexander already busy in the kitchen. Josh rolled up his sleeves, tied on an apron, and jumped in to help his cousin. Both men knew exactly what the other was thinking, and neither was willing to back down.

When Mrs. Shaw came downstairs and saw the two handsome men bustling around the kitchen, she found the sight utterly surreal. Walking over to the front desk, she asked her employee, "What’s the situation here?"

The employee shrugged. "Maybe they just really love to cook?"

"Oh?" Mrs. Shaw raised an eyebrow. "That’s a rarity these days. I wonder who the lucky girl is going to be."

By nearly nine o’clock, Alexander and Josh finally finished preparing breakfast. Not knowing what Elise preferred, the men had made everything they knew how to prepare.

The spread included fresh soy milk, millet porridge, shrimp dumplings, boiled eggs, and a few light, home-style stir-fries, along with the sugar and cinnamon French toast and banana pancakes Alexander had bought earlier.

When everything was laid out on the table, Mrs. Shaw and her staff were completely stunned.

"Is being the perfect husband a genetic trait in your family?" Mrs. Shaw walked over, looking at the feast before turning her gaze to the brothers. "This spread is enough to make someone like me, who is completely disillusioned with romance, swoon. Do you two have girlfriends? If not, how about one of you dates me?"

Alexander and Josh exchanged awkward looks.

The staff watched from the side, knowing their boss was just joking, but while the two handsome men were great cooks, they were rather thin-skinned. Both of their ears flushed bright red.

Seeing their reaction, Mrs. Shaw waved her hand and laughed. "Just kidding! Don’t be nervous. This is a guesthouse, not a spider demon’s den—I don’t eat men!"

Her staff burst into laughter, and Alexander and Josh couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

"Mrs. Shaw, you are very witty. No wonder your guesthouse always tops the rankings," Alexander offered politely before adding, "I’ll go upstairs and see if Ms. Harper and Lily are awake."

"I’ll go," Mrs. Shaw smiled. "It’s more convenient since I’m a woman."

Alexander blinked in mild surprise, then quickly nodded. "Then I’ll trouble you, Mrs. Shaw."

"Don’t mention it. Go ahead and start eating," she said, waving her hand as she turned toward the second floor.

A single breakfast was enough for Mrs. Shaw to see right through the brothers’ intentions. She wasn’t usually one to meddle, but Rina had specifically called to ask her to look after Elise. With all the drama currently blowing up online and Elise and Dylan not yet officially divorced, the brothers’ advances at this delicate juncture would likely only cause Elise more anxiety.

So, she would just have to play the villain and ruin their fun!

Five minutes later, Mrs. Shaw came back down.

"They’re awake. They’ll be down to eat once they’ve washed up, and they told us to go ahead without them."

Alexander and Josh acknowledged this, and Alexander gestured to the table. "Let’s all sit down then."

As everyone gathered around the table, the wind chimes on the wooden courtyard gate jingled. Someone had arrived.

"Keep eating, I’ll go check," Mrs. Shaw said, patting the shoulder of an employee who was about to stand up, and headed outside.

Soon, her voice drifted in from the courtyard. "Sir, I’m terribly sorry, but our guesthouse is fully booked this week. If you’re looking for lodging, you might want to try next door."

Mrs. Shaw: "..." What do you mean, no need? She probably doesn’t even want to see your face!

While she was worrying, Robin, who was standing beside Dylan, suddenly asked, "Daddy, are Godmom and Lily really staying here?"

Hearing the child’s voice, Mrs. Shaw instinctively looked down at Robin. Her eyes widened in shock. The boy looked exactly like a mini-Dylan! And he called him "Daddy"...

Was this Dylan and Elise’s child? But then why did he call her "Godmom"?

Before she could solve the puzzle, a crisp, sweet little voice rang out from behind her. "Robin!"

Robin looked toward the entrance of the guesthouse. Lily let go of Elise’s hand and bolted toward him on her little legs.

Robin’s eyes lit up. "Lily!"

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two children ran toward one another and shared a happy hug.

"Robin, how did you know Godmom and I were here?"

"Daddy said you were here!" Robin and Lily hugged each other tightly.

The scene was incredibly sweet and heartwarming, softening the expressions of the watching adults.

Releasing Lily, Robin asked eagerly, "Lily, where’s Godmom?"

"Godmom is right over there!" Lily turned around, pointing a chubby finger at Elise, who was standing by the door. She added in a sweet, babyish voice, "Robin, I slept with Godmom last night! Godmom smells so good!"
