Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 130

Christiana’s POV.

The plane had barely touched down, and already I could feel the kids‘ excitement buzzing in the air. Ethan’s eyes were wide, scanning everything around us as if seeing it for the first time. Beside him, Emma was practically bouncing, her little hand clutching mine tightly.

“Mommy! We’re home!” Emma squealed, her voice full of unrestrained joy.

“Yes, sweetheart, we’re finally home,” I replied, smiling down at her.

Ethan tugged at Alex’s hand, his face glowing with a shy but unmistakable happiness. I could see the healthy flush in his cheeks….a comforting sign. Three weeks ago, I’d been so worried, watching him struggle with his recuperation, but after our time away, the difference was night and day. He was vibrant, laughing more, and it melted my heart.

“Daddy,” Ethan said, looking up at Alex with a small, proud smile. “Can we go to the park again? Like before?”

“Of course, buddy,” Alex replied, his own smile warm as he ruffled Ethan’s hair. “We’ll do all of that. I promise.” He was keeping close to both children, his arm wrapped protectively around Ethan’s shoulders. Ever the caring father, even as we made our way through the airport, Alex’s eyes would dart around, alert, watchful…his powerful billionaire presence never quite allowing him to relax completely.

“Alright, let’s get you two fed and settled, huh?” Alex said, glancing at me with that familiar smile, though I could sense something more behind it… hesitation, maybe even a hint of worry.

“Where are we staying, Mommy?” Emma asked, peering up at me with big eyes.

“Sweetheart, we’re going to the same hotel. Our things are already there, remember?” I answered.

At that, Alex’s expression shifted, and I could tell he was about to say something. We had gone over this already, but he wasn’t one to let things drop so easily. His brow furrowed just slightly, a sure sign he was about to argue.

“Christiana, you know they’d be more comfortable at my place,” he said, keeping his voice level but firm. “I want you all to be somewhere safe. Somewhere I can be with you, and not some hotel suite.”

I took a steadying breath, matching his gaze. “Alex, we’ll be just fine at the hotel. It’s closer to everything we need, and it’s easier for us. You’re welcome to visit any time, and we’ll come by too.”
