Goodbye Forever Ex-Husband (by Ammund) novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213

OLIVIA’S POV

I was still trying to process what my dad had just told me on the phone, at first I thought he was joking or this might be a prank call but then I remembered my dad doesn’t joke.

“Wait… you’re already on your way?” I asked, surprise rising in my voice before I could stop it.

My father’s voice crackled gently through the speaker, calm as ever. “We’re just about landing at the airport, sweetheart. Send us your address so we can come to you right away.” My eyes drifting to Damien

I blinked, momentarily thrown. I hadn’t expected them this soon, when he told me he was on his way I didn’t think he meant he was going to arrive in a day, how did he get another private jet when I am still using the family jet?

“I was staying in a hotel,” I admitted, glancing around the suite that had been both my hiding place and my war room these past days. “But I’ll get a house that can suit all of us.”

“Please do,” Dad said, his tone gentle but carrying that familiar finality that told me this wasn’t really a suggestion.

Then I also remembered that I told Julian that Dad was coming and he has a place they can stay, but knowing how stubborn Mom is and also from the last experience she had the last time she stayed at Julian’s place, she would definitely insist on staying with

1. me.

Before I could reply, I heard my mother’s voice in the background, softer but unmistakably excited. “And before I forget, we brought a surprise along with us.”

My brows drew together. “A surprise?” Curiosity laced my voice despite the ache of exhaustion gnawing at me.

Then, through the faint rustle on the line, on the other side of the camera, my mom turned to her back and I heard her call out: “Come here, mommy wants to see you.”

The words alone were enough to make me sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose, heart fluttering with both dread and affection. I already knew what was coming next even before the screen shifted.

Sure enough, Charlie’s familiar face filled the camera a second later, eyes wide and bright, his usual big smile lighting up his small features. His dark hair was a little messy, and his backpack strap peeked into the frame.

“Hey you,” I said, my voice softening despite everything, an instinctive warmth blooming in my chest. “We just talked a few hours ago, and you were on your way to school. So tell me how did you get out?”

“They picked me up from school!” Charlie replied brightly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

I let out another sigh, shaking my head faintly. “Okay,” I said, trying to keep my voice even though the corners of my lips twitched into a reluctant smile. “We’re going to see each other in a few minutes, so sit tight, okay?”

He nodded quickly, eyes sparkling before he slipped out of the frame, likely back to his seat next to my mother.

The moment he was out of view, my smile faded, replaced by the familiar tightness in my chest. “Why did you bring him with you?” I asked, keeping my voice low but firm “He was safer in Mexico.”

“Relax, Olivia,” my father said, his tone softening slightly but still carrying that stubborn edge I’d known my whole life. “Nothing is going to happen to you or him now that we’re coming to the city. I’ve already arranged for double the security, and once the

“You said the ceremony wouldn’t happen for a while,” I countered quickly, frustration bleeding through my words. “And what about Charlie’s school? He can’t just miss out on his classes. His life shouldn’t stop because of this.”

“We took care of that too,” Dad said, the faintest edge of impatience creeping into his voice. “He’ll have private online classes with his teachers and classmates back in Mexico. It’ll be as if he’s still there.”

A pause settled between us before he spoke again, his voice dropping to something almost weary. “You didn’t expect me to just leave my grandchild all alone in another country, did you? That wasn’t good enough for me, Olivia. He’s safer with us here than anywhere else. He’s not meant to be in this city but I promise you he’s safer with us than in any other country all alone.” My dad said.
