Ex-Wife novel Chapter 41

Amelia Pov

I moved my eyes between my brother and husband as they both were seated in front of each other while staring blankly. I am not surprised by the way Xander was looking at Harry.

But Harry. What's with him. Why is he behaving so coldly with Xander? It was almost like they both wanted to pounce at each other or simply ignore each other's presence.

"Uncle you promised to take me to your game room but you still didn't." I wanted to hug Alex for breaking the tension among the men and hearing his words everyone's attention went to him.

He was seated on my brother's laps playing with a digital watch Harry gifted him. The watch had a game in it and it's customized especially for kids. At first, I thought he's gifting him a digital watch that has a phone system but no it was just made for kids.

I can see that Alex is the only one whose keeping Harry's soft side to himself. Well I know he loves me beyond anything too. But seeing him behaving so liberate with Alex surprised me. But again he loves kids.

Xander surprisingly did nothing except watch uncle and nephew talking and playing. His face seems relaxed and he didn't look bothered.

"Of course Lil guy. How about tomorrow." Harry suggested with a soft tone making me chuckle.

"He can't. He has a school. And no skipping." Xander said with a stern voice. Here comes a professor freak. He never lets Alexander take off from school. Only if he's sick.

Like come on sometimes kids should skip school too. Our parents were never strict about studies or school. Harry is studying in the last year of his masters while I already did. And we both chose our subjects and professions on our own.

And I want the same for Alex. My parents never forced me to attend school on daily basis. Yes, they did sometimes scold me for asking to skip too much but never really burdened me too much.

And Xander had the opposite attitude. He never lets Alex skip school or compromise on his studies. Yes, he doesn't oppress what studies Alex have to do but he still needs to give a Lil guy a little space.

"One day wouldn't hurt," Harry replied with a Cold tone.

"It will. I don't want him to suffer from loss because of skipping." Alex pouted staring at his father while I and Harry rolled our eyes.

"Well too bad I am taking him with me tomorrow." Xander glared at him.

"I am his father."

"I am his uncle."

"I dare you to take my son without my permission."

"Ok. Watch me do it tomorrow morning."

"Yo---"

"Enough you two." I spat out in anger interrupting these big kids bickering.

"What's wrong with you two. Your behaving younger than Alex. And Xander you. Harry I can understand is only 22 but you. Your a freaking 32 years old man. Stop behaving like a kid."

He pouted at me with puppy eyes looking offended by my scolding.

"Why are you scolding me only. He started it. Plus he's the one who wants to take my son away." He said childishly whining. We heard a soft giggle making Xander playfully glare at Alex who looked away.

"He's not taking him forever Xander. It just a day. And if Alex wants to go then having a day off is no big deal." He tried arguing but earning a glare from me he looked away pouting.

He childishly crossed his bulky arms against his chest making me shook my head. Harry smirked in victory at Xander making me glare at him as well.

"Alex go and brush your teeth and get ready for bed. It's nearly 9 pm. Come on. Get up. When we will sleep earlier we will be able to wake early too and you will be able to go with your uncle." He smiled before running towards me and kissing my cheek.

"Thank you, angel. I love you." I smiled kissing his forehead.

"I love you too baby. Now go." He ran upstairs while I turned my head towards the duo who were again back to their blank face competition. Like who will keep the longest blank face.

"I don't like you," Harry said taking me by surprise.

"Feelings are mutual," Xander replied with an emotionless tone making me sigh out in frustration.

"But your liking doesn't matter." Harry rolled his eyes.

"It does. I am her brother."

"And I am her husband."

"There is an option of Divorce."

"There is also an option of disowning."

"Like hell, it will happen."

He hates her. Too much that he doesn't even consider talking about her. And I don't blame him. Rose is responsible for this.

Xander came back and looked coldly at Harry who rolled his eyes.

"Well, I will come back tomorrow then. Till then goodbye sis. Goodbye Mr. Storm." Xander nodded looking at Harry's hand that he extended for a handshake.

My eyes widened in surprise when Xander grabbed his hand and pulled him in a bear hug. Harry looked startled too.

"This is how you greet your brother you brat. Also me brother or Xander." I chuckled earning an eye roll from Harry who hesitantly hugged him back with a small smile which he tried holding back but failed miserably.

"As you say brother in law." I shook my head when they both pulled away with an emotionless face and after that Harry wished me goodbye.

I sighed feeling my body being engulfed in a tight warm back hug and I already knew who it was. Annoying leach.

"Your brother is caring. Your lucky to have him." I smiled nodding my head. But soon turned into small giggling feeling him kissing my neck.

I turned around still being in his arms. Wrapping my arms around his neck I smiled at him.

"What are you trying to do Mr. Storm. I have to check on Alex." He pulled me closer leaning to my face.

"I already did he's asleep. And now I am just trying to be civil with my wife." I raised my eyebrows at him.

"You call this being civil," I said gesturing at his hands that were wrapped around my body.

"That's my way to be civil with my wife darling." With that, my lips were swallowed by his. We both kissed roughly before I let him pick me up and carry me to our bedroom.

And that's how I again had a beautiful night with my lovely husband.
