Ex-Wife novel Chapter 42

Xander Pov

I waved my hand bidding goodbye to my son who waved back with his tiny arms still being in his grandfather's arms. My father smiled at me nodding his head while I returned with a bright one.

Everything seems so perfect. Too perfect to be real. Every second I still fear that all of this might end up disappearing. But now I have started believing that indeed miracles happen.

I pushed myself in the car and drove to the mansion. Our house. An empty dry mansion Amelia succeeded in building into a beautiful home. My Alexander's and hers.

If I say I wasn't surprise seeing how mature yet childish her brother behaved with me would be a pure lie. I didn't expect him to give me a cold shoulder. He loves his sister more than anything.

Sometimes I don't even know why I become jealous of their interaction. I mean they are brother and sister for God sakes but damn this heart wants her to only look at me and me.

Weird how I used to think that I wouldn't be able to smile again. Be happy once again after Mia's death but you can never predict what is restore in your fate for you.

I love her presence. I love having her near me all the time. My mind always remains clouded with her thoughts. I felt like a lovesick teenager.

Lovesick. Love?

Am I really in love with her? I don't know I just can't understand what I feel for her. I know have no strength to confess my love to her if I have any. As I already know she likes me not love.

I can't make her uncomfortable with me again just because of my feelings. Yes, I know somewhere in my heart I started feeling more than just liking towards her but I still can't bring myself to call it love.

Today was Sunday and Alexander was begging me for a month to let him spent a day with his grandfather. He loves my father too much. And why not father had always given him the love I should be the one giving but well I am still happy. Even though late but I at least realized that more than my presence he needs my attention and love.

And I might hadn't realized it if it wasn't for Amelia. Again that dangerous woman. I don't know why but I just want her near me all the time. I want to hold her. Touch her.

And maybe love her all time.

Finally reaching the house I entered it. Today I gave leave to servants as well. I just wanted this day to be mine and Amelia's. Only us.

I planned a lot of things for us. Movie. Fast food. Damn I can never forget she's a sucker for fast food. She loves eating fast food like normal food. Because of her, we have frozen pizza and burger patties in our fridge all time.

I chuckled remembering how she jumped on me kissing my whole face when I showed her the frozen fast food stock I bought for her. Damn just to have her in my arms I wouldn't mind buying fast food from the whole city convenience stores.

"Darling I am home," I said raising my voice a little as I entered our room.

But as soon as I entered the room my smile fell off and I stared at the woman in front of him in shock.

"Amelia." Without wasting a minute I walked towards her taking fast steps.

She looked so sick. She was coughing while sitting on the bed. Her back was against the headboard while her face was looking paler than usual.

Worry clouded my mind as I instantly removed my jacket and took a seat in front of her. She opened her half-conscious eyes shooting me her weak smile.

I touched her forehead and gasped out. "God Amelia your burning. Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well." I questioned making her open her mouth to answer me but before she could utter a word she coughed out badly.

"Hey hey don't say anything. Just lay down. I will call the doctor." She nodded finding it hard to speak anything.

Soon the doctor came and gave her an injection. She was fast asleep while I stared at her as worry wasn't letting me sleep. The doctor said it was because of excessive work load. And why not she was working overnight yesterday.

Harry had taken over the company that Amelia started building again. He's doing quite a good job with handling the company. But there was still one project left that was under Amelia and only she could end it.
