Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband

Chapter 77 BLAIRE I lost track of time and couldn’t remember what time I dozed off. I was having a hard time sleeping because of what happened. I keep on thinking about it. I stayed with Blaze the whole night, and I keep glancing at the adjacent door, even with a slight sound, thinking Sebastian will walk right at the door in any minute. However, it didn’t happen. The room right across ours remained awfully quiet. I’m still not ready to face Sebastian right after what happened last night. I was afraid that seeing how regretful he was would make me change my mind about leaving. I’m well aware that he was trying. He tried to make up for the mistakes that he had made in the past. But he can’t blame me if I was having a hard time welcoming him into our lives after everything that he did. I was pulled out of my reverie when I heard my son’s voice. “Mommy,” he uttered. “Yes, honey? Do you need anything?” “The man who owns the house…” he started. I held my breath, waiting for what he was about to say. I’m afraid Blaze has already caught up with the situation. He may be young, but he is smart and well aware of his surroundings. “Is he my dad?” he asked, completing his sentence. “Sweetheart…” My voice cracked. I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to lie to my son, but what will I tell him when I have already decided to go on leave? “He came here last night. You were sleeping,” he added, which caught me by surprise. “He did?” I replied, forcing a smile on my face. “He was saying sorry, mommy. He said he loved me so much. He said he wanted to be with me, but he did a lot of awful things. That’s why it’s impossible for him to stay. He was crying, but I told him to be quiet because you’re sleeping. What did he do, mommy?” he asked innocently. I was surprised that he managed to remember all the things Sebastian said. He tried his best to remember everything Sebastian told him.

“Did he introduce himself as your father?” I asked him. “Nope, he didn’t. It was just a guess,” he replied innocently, shrugging his shoulders as if it weren’t a big deal. “But it’s a good thing if he is my daddy. I always wanted to have a daddy,” he added as the light on his face slowly faded. 75% 12:03 Fri, 1 Mar i O Chapter 77 +5 I started sobbing upon hearing that. I thought what I was doing was best for him. I never even considered that Blaze may want to have his dad in his life. Did I make a mistake? Am I being selfish by choosing to protect myself from the man who caused me pain? “Do you want to be with your dad?” I asked him, preparing myself for whatever his answer would be. “I’m okay with anything, mommy. As long as I’m with you, I’m okay,” he answered. At that moment, I finally broke down. I can’t believe I was about to steal my son’s chance to grow up with his father just because I couldn’t stand to be with him. Maybe I should reconsider my decision for the sake of Blaze. “Would you like to stay here for a while?” I asked him. And right there and there, I saw the light flash in his eyes. “Can we, mommy?” I can hear excitement in his voice. I felt guilty knowing that my son was more mature and considerate than I was. Despite him wanting to know his father, he didn’t insist on it. Instead, he allowed me to make a decision and accepted it wholeheartedly.

It made me realize that there are times when we can learn a few things from an innocent child’s perspective. I forced a smile on my face. “We can if you want to,” I said. “Yes, mommy!” He almost leapt out of bed in excitement as he tried to imprison me in a tight hug.

“Thank you, mommy!” he said. We were in that position when I heard a soft knock coming from the door. “Good morning,” Maximus said. “Am I interrupting something?” he asked, smiling. “No, you’re not. Come on in, doc,” I replied. “I’m just going to do my daily morning routine quickly, and then I’ll be out of your hair in no time,” he said as soon as he started checking up on Blaze. As I watched Blaze get checked by Max, I decided to go out and look at Sebastian. We need to have that talk once again, but this time I should prioritize my son over my feelings. If I were to guess it correctly, Sebastian would probably have his morning coffee in the dining room during this time. I went straight to the dining area, only to find it empty. Though there’s already food on the table, Sebastian was nowhere to be found. Candince came out of the kitchen holding a bag of freshly cut fruits. “Candice, is 12:03 Fri, 1 Mar ti Chapter 77 Sebastian still in his room?” I asked her. P “You didn’t know?” she asked with a confused look on her face. “What do you mean?” 75% “Sir Sebastian already left earlier, around three in the morning, I guess?” she explained. “Oh, what time will he be back?” She frowned in confusion, as if there’s something wrong with my question. “I don’t think he’s ever coming back, Blaire,” Candice answered. I chuckled nervously. “What do you mean he’s not coming back? That’s absurb. This is his house.” “Ahmm… I don’t know what’s going on, Blaire. Maybe you should go find him and talk to him,” she suggested. “That’s a good idea. Thanks, Candice!” I replied.

“Wait! Aren’t you going to eat first? Sir Sebastian specifically told us to prepare your breakfast,” she said. “I don’t think I can. I need to talk to Sebastian as soon as possible. I’ll probably just grab some sandwiches along the way,” I said. “And can I ask you a favor, please?” “Of course! What is it?” “Could you look after Blaze while I’m gone? Don’t let anyone come near him, okay? You’re aware of what happened last night, right? I’m afraid of what Catherine might do if she finds out about Blaze,” I said. “Don’t worry, I’ll look after him,” she replied. “Thank you, Candice. I’ll be back as soon as I can.” “No worries, Blaire. I got you,” she assured me. I smiled at her gesture. I’m glad that even after all these years have passed, there’s still a few good people around us. As I was on my way to the gate, I saw Clifford coming through the gate. He was riding the black sedan car he used to drive with Sebastian. My heart raced, thinking Sebastian was inside. But I was a little disappointed when it was only Clifford who came out of the car. +5 O 12:03 Fri, 1 Marti Chapter 77 +5 “Oh, thank Go d you’re here,” I said. “Do you have any idea where Sebastian might be?” I added. “He’s currently staying at his office, Miss Blaire. He asked me to give this to you. He also wanted to apologize that he didn’t have the courage to give it to you personally,” he said as he handed me an envelope. “What’s this?” I asked as I slowly checked the envelope he just gave me. “That’s the temporary restraining order that Mr. Foster filed against Miss Catherine so she wouldn’t be

able to get close to you and your son like she did last night,” he explained. “And here…” he said, and he handed me another folder. “This is the title of this house. It has always been under your name, so Mr. Foster thinks that you should have it. He also said that you can do whatever you want with the house, whether you stay in it or sell it; it’s totally up to you,” Clifford explained as I tried to read the documents. “Why is he doing this?” I asked, frowning. “I can’t answer for him, Miss Blaire. But I believe he’s honoring your request. He decided to give you and Blaze the freedom that you wanted,” he said. “He also wanted me to give you this,” he said, handing another paper that seemed endless. “And this one is for?” My confusion grows every minute. “That’s a copy of his last will and testament,” he answered. My eyes widen in shock. I’m sure Sebastian wasn’t the type of man who’s giving up his life because of this, isn’t he? Clifford probably saw right through me. “Don’t worry, Miss Blaire. It isn’t what you’re thinking,” he chuckled. “I can assure you, Mr. Foster is absolutely fine.” I let out the breath that I hadn’t noticed I’d been holding the whole time. “He just wanted to give it to you just in case something happened to him. Despite the choices that you and Mr. Foster have made, he still wanted to assure Blaze that he would get everything that was rightfully his. In that will, it is stated that Blaze will be the sole heir of Foster Enterprise if anything happens to him.” “He did that?” What Clifford said hasn’t been fully sinking into my system. “Yes, Miss Blaire. And if ever you have any questions regarding those documents, here’s a lawyer you can discuss them with.” He reached for his pocket and picked out a calling card before giving it to me. “Is there anything I can do for you?” he asked after I accepted the card. 75% Chapter 77 “Yes. Could you bring me to Sebastian? I have something to discuss with him,” I said.

He looked surprised upon hearing that, but he quickly recovered. “Of course, Miss Blaire,” he replied before opening the door for me. +5 0 I quickly got into the back seat, feeling the tension as we drove quietly to Sebastian’s office. I tried to think of what to say to him, but it was hard. How could I tell him that his son wanted him around? What happened was surprising. Even though I wanted to cut ties with him, he still decided to be there for Blaze with all his heart. It made me feel both impressed and upset. As we approached Sebastian’s office, my heart pounded with uncertainty. I’m not exactly sure how this conversation would go. As we approached Sebastian’s office, my heart pounded with uncertainty. Stepping out of the car, I took a deep breath to steady my nerves. With each step towards his office door, I felt the weight of the moment pressing down on me. Clifford led the way as we took the elevator going to Sebastian’s office. The guards and the employees at the reception didn’t bother asking me for my ID. With each passing moment, my heart was thumping like a wild drum. I keep repeating in my head the words that I’m about to say. But as soon as the elevator door opened, my head went blank. My feet felt like they were glued to the ground once we were standing in front of the door to his office. “He’s inside, Miss Blaire. You can go ahead and get inside,” Clifford said before opening the door for me. As soon as he opened the door, I immediately saw a silhouette of a man sitting on his swivel chair, his back facing us. “Clifford, I’ve already said I want to be left alone, haven’t I? How many times do I need to repeat that I don’t want to be bothered right now?” Sebastian growled, clearly annoyed by our sudden disturbance. I didn’t answer and stayed silent. He probably noticed that, so he quickly turned his chair around, facing me.

I can see the surprise on his face upon seeing me. His jaw dropped as he stared at me intently. He even blinks his eyes a couple of times, probably to convince himself that he isn’t hallucinating. 12:03 Fri, 1 Mar ti Chapter 77 75% My eyes landed on the bottle of Scotch on his table, which was almost empty, and the glass in his hand. “Isn’t it too early for drinking?” I asked him. He cleared his throat, trying to compose himself. “I-I was just—” He was having a hard time finding the words to explain. Finally, standing before him, my emotions tangled into a web of conflicting feelings. Sebastian’s gaze met mine, and for a fleeting moment, I saw a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. “Fix yourself; we need to talk,” I said as I walked towards the couch and waited for him to compose himself.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
