Chasing My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 69

And after what felt like forever, Hailey and Cole pulled away from the kiss. Cole placed a deep kiss on her forehead before letting go of her. "I was so worried about you." She tiptoed and kissed his cheek. Then used her fingers to straighten his messy hair.

Cole sat on the chair and made Hailey sit on his lip. He brought her hand to his lips, kissed it, and instantly snuck his arms around her waist, holding onto her possessively.

He stared at her eyes intently. "Thank you.”

Hailey brought her hand to his face, caressing his cheek with the back of her fingers. "What for?”

"I thought I lost you.” She could see the pain in his eyes as he spoke.

"Why?" She asked.

"We were just getting back together and then this happened.”

"So you think I would disappear into thin air when things get tough?"

Cole shook his head. "I guess I was too wrapped up in my head. I was scared and knew that I wasn't going to forgive myself if I lost you again.” Hailey smiled. She leaned closer to Cole and placed a soft kiss on his lips

"I'm here. Exactly where I'm meant to be. By your side. If there is anything you should know about me, it is the fact that I always stand by what's mine.”

"And if it would make you feel better, I was furious but I didn’t think ill of you. I was mostly angry at Vanessa and I felt the urge to put her in her place. Debbie warned me not to go, Jessica warned me too but I didn't listen.”

"I hope she didn't lay a hand on you." Cole said, searching Hailey's body to confirm that there was no bruise or any sort of injury.” "No. You need to trust me. I can take care of myself."

"I trust you, my love. I just don't trust her. She is evil and can come up with anything. I don't want you in trouble because of me. Would never forgive myself if that happened.”

Hailey shook her head "I'm not scared of Vanessa. And if anything. I always believe that the truth will prevail." "So you don't care that the world sees me another way?”

"If the world would judge you based on what a woman says about you, without knowing your side of the story, then they are the ones with issues. I don’t care about anyone's thoughts. I am just concerned about your reputation in business. I know how you've worked so hard to get your company to where it is."

"I know. It's sad but I'll figure it out. I am just grateful I've got my family with me. For now, that's all that matters." "I can always help.”

Cole shook his head

"You're refusing me?" Hailes tried to hide her hurt.

"No baby. You've got so much you are occupied with and I don't want to put extra pressure on you."

"You don't want to mix business with pleasure?" Hailes stared at him suspiciously.

A small smile appeared on Cole's lips. "I would be more than happy to use my woman's connection but I would want that to be my last resort. I'm not refusing you. I just don't want to burden you. I hope you understand."

Hailey shrugged. "I know I can count on you. I just need you to know that you can count on me too.”

"Thank you, my love." He kissed her cheek.

"I'm hoping you didn't get inte a fight with Vanessa."

"Fortunately I did. And I'm glad I did. I made her know that she isn't to mess with me and my man.”

Cole smiled. "Your man?"

"Yes. Turns out I don’t joke with what's mine. And someone has to put Vanessa in her place.”

Cole's heart swelled with so much pride, seeing Hailey go all out for him and talk sweetly about him as if he wasn’t present.

"I gave her 12 hours to turn herself in. To withdraw the case and make a public apology."

"Vanessa iS-crazy. She did this thinking kwould be at her mercy.d> don't know if she would do what” you'verequested. She feels bad for no evil she ever does. Her heart is as strong as a rock." Content.belongs to“ -

"I told her I was gonna give evidence against her theft in the company and all the terrible things she did to me, including the accident."

"That's a good one but knowing how spiteful Vanessa is, I don't know. Jessica is in talks with the right people already. She would let us know what my options are.”

“But thank you for doing this for us. You exceeded my expectations and I am so grateful for your love and presence." "It's fine. I really hope this gets sorted out today. I want to sleep with you by my side.”

"Cole smiled. "Are you sure you're craving just a sleep partner?”

Hailey blushed. “It's not my fault you've got bad thoughts."

Cole chuckled. "I want that too. I've missed my boys too. They must be so mad at me.”

"Maybe but they will get over it. After you and I, Debbie is the person they love most in the world. I know they are in good hands. She will make them forget they are mad at you."

"You mean after Me, you, and Bella?” Hailey blushed. “You've still not forgotten about that drawing." Cole smiled, shaking his head. "Sometimes I find it hard to believe they are 4."

Hailey chuckled. "They are just like you. Egoistic and charming. They know what they want."

"I think I told your Dad about them." Cole arched his brow, a small smile playing on his lips. "You think?” "It just happened. He seemed very happy. I never thought deeply about it but I think Ollie and Enzo would be thrilled to meet their grandfather."

"That will mean so much to my father. Thank you.” Hailey could see the deep sincerity in Cole's eyes.

"They are so cute. I'm so happy for them." Jessica giggled the moment she and Moore were out of the room.

Moore couldn't stop smiling. "It feels so good to see Cole so genuinely happy. He wasn't even this happy when he thought he loved Vanessa." "I'm happy he has Hailey. She's a good woman. She told me I'm a Grandfather. You knew that right?”

Jessica blushed in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

"It's fine. Hailey told me they wanted to keep the twins a secret because of their safety.”

"Cole told methe same too. And If it would makeyou feel better, I've never seen,them. But Cole tells me> they lookso much like him so I< guess tmey have some of your resemblance since Cole looks a lot like*you." :te a

"I'm glad the news is out. It's so hard to look you in the eyes and not be able tozell you such good news~1 think this is where I'm to tell you congratulations! I am so glad for you ane Cole." _to “

Moore smiled, wiping happy tears off the corner of his eyes. "Thank you. I'm mostly happy for Cole.” "But do you think he's gonna get released today?" Moore asked Jessica

He noticed the way the smile faded from her face, slowly replaced with sadness.
