Chasing My Ex-wife Back by Symplyayisha Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Later that Evening.
After tucking the kids to bed, Hailey went back to her room. She reached for her phone on the nightstand and dialed Debbie. It rang for a while before Debbie answered.
“Hi” Hailey’s gentle voice came through.
“Did you call me by mistake or?” Debbie said.
I’m sorry.
“What for?”
“It’s been a week since we last talked. I miss you.” Hailey admitted.
“Seemed to me like you needed space. I told you to reach out to me if you needed anything.”
Hailey sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed. “This past week has been the hardest.
“How?” Debbie asked.
“I don’t know. I feel like a zombie who has no idea what’s going on in my life. I have been using work to distract my thoughts but that trick is not working anymore. I feel so lost.”
“I am glad you called me but you know what the solution is right?
Hailey said nothing. You have intentionally been choosing unhappiness over happiness.”
Hailey still said nothing.
“Or are you back with Ty?”
“I can’t seem to give Ty what he wants. And I don’t know how the twins would feel if I got official with Ty. According to them, Mommy and Daddy are supposed to be together and not Mommy and someone else. I don’t love Ty. It would be unfair to just keep him tied to me.”
“So what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know,” Hailey whispered. I am thinking of going to see Cole tomorrow.”
“For good or otherwise?” Debbie sounded casual, trying to hide her excitement.
“The kids keep asking of him and I am tired of telling lies about his absence. I just want to see him so we can schedule convenient days for them to meet and with the media out of it.”
“I am glad you are doing that.”
“I know. I just hope I don’t regret it./
“That’s not a good thing to say. Cole is their father and he will always be. Even though he was married and had other kids, that is still not enough reason to keep them apart

Chapter 41
“No, you are getting it all wrong. I am just concerned about their safety.”
“You need to learn to trust Cole. The last thing he would want is to put you and the kids in danger.”
“This is not about Cole, it is the evil people around. I don’t think I would be able to live with myself if anything were to happen to them.”
“Take your mind off negatively. Everything will be fine.”
“I hope.” Hailey mumbled.
“I hope you don’t change your mind about tomorrow.”
“No, I won’t. I already promised Ollie and Enzo that they would meet their father unfailingly by the weekend. So I need to act on that.”
“I’m glad you thought things through. Don’t ever allow jealousy blind you from reality.”
“Jealousy?”
“Don’t tell me you weren’t when Vanessa and her mother came over
“It was almost inevitable. They sounded so sincere. Maybe I was jealous but it was just a little bit. I was mostly disappointed and it just felt like all of Cole’s apologies have been nothing but fake.”
“At that point, I knew I should have known better since I knew the kind of people my stepmom and stepsister were. But it was just so much information. My head was a mess.
“It’s fine. You need not blame yourself for anything. Better late than never.”
“Yeah! And I don’t know how. But I hope Vanessa and her mom will stay out of my life and business forever. As long as they see me as a threat, I feel I am never going to hear the end of it.”
“I understand your concern but I feel those two should be your least priority right now. I think there is nothing you can’t overcome if you join forces with Cole. Just let him know about all of your insecurities. He is a man. He’s going to handle everything.”
“I think I finally lost my best friend to Cole. Look at you taking his sides.”
Debbie chuckled. “That’s not it. I just want you to be happy.”
“And you think he is going to make me happy?”
“Maybe and Maybe not. What matters is that you are doing the right thing and that gives me great joy.”
“I’m glad we spoke,” Hailey mumbled.
“Yeah, me too. I missed you. Debbie admitted.
“Jess came to see me at the office sore days ago.”
“Jess? Who’s that?”
“Cole’s lawyer and best friend.”
Chapter 41
“She brought the divorce papers?” The fear didn’t go unnoticed in Debbie’s voice.
“No. She came to talk to me behind Cole’s back. She said Cole has moved on since I am being too selfish.”
“Her statement makes me want to give up seeing him.”
“You need not think that way.”
“In the end, we are all humans and we get exhausted. If he is really over you, I am sure you would have gotten the divorce papers by now. Sometimes, showing someone that you love them is simply adhering to their demands. You always made it clear that you wanted to be left alone. That’s what happened.”
“I messed up a lot, didn’t I?”
“Maybe you went overboard for just a bit, but I still think your reaction was pretty normal. What matters is that you are making efforts to make amends.”
“The two best friends talked for a bit more after which they decided to call it a night.”
Hailey changed into her pajama set and got into bed.
She knew she hadn’t slept for long when her door burst open followed by the crying voice of one of the twins.
“Mommy. Mommy” Hailey opened her eyes, she sat up immediately and switched on the light on the lamp o on her nightstand.
Ollie’s face came into view with tears rolling down his cheeks. The little boy was by her bedside already.
Hailey’s chest was beating really fast. “What is it, baby? Did you have a bad dream?”
“Enzo is sick again. He is not waking up. More tears rolled down Ollie’s cheek.
