Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 195 After a brief moment of surprise .

I refocused my gaze .

Standing there , he was unmistakably striking 6 feet tall , with long legs , elegant yet imposing , his presence so conspicuous in the crowd .

His features , sharp and noble , seemed like they were sculpted by the gods themselves nothing less than their greatest He looked exactly like a prince stepping out of a fairy tale .

Once I confirmed it was really him , only four words echoed in my mind : Fates cruel irony .

But , thankfully , he hadnt seen me .

I had no idea what he was doing wandering the streets , so I turned and walked in the opposite direction , coffee in hand .

It wasnt that I was afraid of him I just didnt want him disrupting my plans .

After all , wed been divorced for three years .

We should have been strangers by now .

I hurried back to the car , ready to leave , when I noticed the little brown bear keychain was missing from my keyring .

I froze for a moment before recalling that I must have left it on the table while playing with it at the cafe earlier .

Id only remembered to grab the coffee when I left , but the bear … It was something my son had hung on my keys , and if it was gone , hed be heartbroken .

Lately , my son had caught a cold and been feeling miserable .

I couldnt bear the thought of him crying over this.

With a deep sigh .

I went back to the cafe .

To my surprise , Hayden was still there .

Not only that , but he had also ordered a coffee and was sitting at my table , playing with the little bear .

I could hardly believe my eyes .

In such a busy mall , how was it possible to run into Hayden , let alone see him someone so aloof and proud drinking coffee ? My hand , still gripping the car keys , trembled slightly What in the world had happened these past three years ? First , Lucy and Joanna , and now Hayden , sitting there with my bear ? Had I missed a flight or was I still jet lagged ? I rubbed my temples and closed my eyes for a moment , trying to compose myself .

When I looked again , Hayden was still sitting there , staring at the little bear , his coffee untouched .

I couldnt help but suspect hed only ordered it as an excuse to sit down .

But , no matter what , it was still my bear , and I had to get it back .

I di didnt want to confront him directly , so I hid behind a tree and waited .

I stood there in the cold wind for over ten minutes , and finally , he got up , still holding my bear .

112 PM Chapter 195 I was rooted to the spot , my mind reeling .

This was Hayden heir of the Parker family , rich beyond measure picking up a tiny stuffed bear from a café table ? Hayden returned to his car , placed the coffee in the cup holder , but kept the bear in his hand .

He couldnt explain it , but something about the little bear felt oddly comforting It was a feeling he couldnt quite articulate , one that seemed to resonate deep within him .

Could it be fate ? he wondered .

Since I found it , I might as well keep As for the coffee , he had asked Lacy about Yvonne , trying to understand her likes and dislikes , and learned that Yvonne had loved that particular cafe .

Lucy had told him hed never really understood Yvonne , never truly knew what was on her mind .

But now , Hayden followed in her footsteps visiting the places she liked , drinking the coffee she had adored hoping to catch a glimpse of her heart .

Even if it was only a tiny fragment of understanding , it was something The coffee was sweet , but Lucy had said Yvonnes heart had been bitter .

She needed just a little sweetness to soothe it .

Until Lucy had said that , Hayden hadnt realized how much Yvonne had suffered while they were together .

Yvonne , if we could start over , would you ever forgive me ? Hayden sighed , placing the bear on the dashboard , and pressed the accelerator .

He had no idea that , long after he drove away , I was still staring at his taillights .

That damn Hayden .

He truly was my nemesis .

For the past three years , all I could think about was revenge .

And now , I was back in Elysiumville , knowing that sooner or later , Id run into him.

I had imagined countless scenarios .

Wed stand face to face , saying nothing , perhaps exchanging polite pleasantries like strangers or maybe wed mock and insult each other .

I had imagined every possible outcome … but never this .

Fate , it seemed , had played a cruel joke on me .

I stood there , grinding my teeth , feeling a mix of anger and helplessness , but eventually had no choice but to head home .

Before returning to Elysiumville , Id bought a villa after my marriage , Id realized just how important property is for a womans security .

Once I got my business going abroad , I bought several more homes .

No matter what happened , no one could force me out of my own space .

As soon as I walked in , Marlon greeted me .

Whereve you been ? Waylons been looking for you .

Just ran into something , I replied vaguely , quickly asking , Where is he ? 1.12 PM c Chapter 195 He wouldnt eat without you .

Finally , he ate a few bites , but now Dylans telling him a story Marlon took my coat as he spoke .

lgo see him.

I hurried upstairs .

As soon as I stepped into the hallway , I heard the soft light in Waylons room and Dylans deep voice , full of warmth and affection .

The little fox was shivering in the cold , so it hurried into a cave to keep warm… Then Waylons soft , curious voice asked , Wow , will the little fox catch a cold ? Dylan paused for a moment , clearly trying to think of an answer , then said , Probably ….

Will it need medicine ? Will the doctor give it an injection ? Will it cry ? Waylons questions came in a flood , one after another .

Dylan was silent for a moment .

A child at Waylons age is naturally curious about everything .

I smiled and walked in , saying , The little fox is strong , just like Waylon .

It never cries when it gets a shot .

The moment he heard my voice , the little one leaped out of bed and ran toward me .

Mommy .

Careful .

Dylan quickly reached out to steady him as he rushed toward me .

I caught him in my arms .

You okay ? Did you fall ? Nope .

The little one giggled as he hugged my neck .

Dylan said the little fox could jump really high .

Waylon can jump too ! It turned out he was mimicking the little fox .

I glanced at Dylan , who quickly looked away and coughed to cover the awkwardness .

Well , I wont interrupt your bonding time , Dylan said , stepping back .

I want Dylan to keep telling the story ! Waylon pouted , reaching for Dylans arms .

Dylan grinned , instantly lifting him and saying , Okay , the little fox is the most fun , right ? Waylon nodded enthusiastically and then looked at me , Mommy , you should come listen too .

Reluctantly , I walked over to join them .

As I sat down , my car keys fell from my pocket .

Immediately , Waylon turned his head .

Mommy , wheres the little bear on your keychain ?
