Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 168

She was adamant about keeping her grandniece away from that Lysander. The man was nothing but trouble, a walking headache!

The more Jade thought about it, the more convinced she became, adding, "Besides, by the time you arrived in Verdelune, you were already single again. What's the issue?"

Mila hesitated, "…No problem."

"Great, it's settled then!"

Without waiting for further protests, Jade hurriedly added, "Alright, I won't keep you any longer. I have a connecting flight to Verdelune."

Rosalia Fashion Week had just wrapped up, with Verdelune next on the schedule. The international fashion weeks were packed closely together in the first half of the year. With limited energy these days, Jade entrusted most of them to her apprentices, only attending the most prestigious ones herself, including Verdelune, Milan, Eldermere, and Newcrest.

It was around four or five in the afternoon. Soft sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm golden hue on the otherwise stark white hospital room.

No matter how indifferent he felt towards Mila in the past, he had always had to concede one point: this woman was strikingly beautiful!

...

While Nathaniel was lost in thought, the child had already run inside.

"Mommy," he called softly, snuggling into Mila's embrace without saying a word.

Instinctively, Mila held the child, her gaze landing on Nathaniel standing awkwardly at the door. He scratched his nose, trying to mask his discomfort as he stepped inside.

"After school, Julian insisted on coming to see you. I thought since you haven't been discharged yet, maybe…"

He trailed off, clearly at a loss for words.

Mila glanced at him blankly, then turned her attention to Julian, her voice gentle, "Julian, what's wrong?"
