Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 129

"Dr. Athena!" A sweet, small voice calls as the door swings open.

Rayen rushes in, a whirlwind of tiny footsteps and excitement, and jumps into my arms before I can even react.

I catch him with a soft oof, my arms instinctively wrapping around his tiny frame.

His warmth, his smell, his messy curls pressed against my cheek, and it all hits me like a punch to the chest.

Tears blur my vision, the overwhelming wave of emotions rising too fast to hold back.

My heart clenches as emotions fill my chest, and my stomach twists in knots. I want to cry. Tears of joy, tears of relief, and tears of gratitude.
