Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 137

ATHENA

Ariana bounds toward me, practically glowing as she throws her arms around my neck.

"God, you smell like eucalyptus and baby shampoo. I hate how much I missed you," she says, planting a loud kiss on my cheek before pulling back and giving

me a once-over.

"Wait... what's going on? Why are we here? And why do you look like you're about to go to bed?"

I laugh.

Trust Ariana to roast your outfit no matter what you wear. These are the days when I miss Sloane the most. They'd go head to head as they argue about her love for bright colors and crazy combinations.

I open my mouth, then close it again.

"I... don't know," I admit honestly. "Alex and Rayen said it's a surprise. That's all I know."

Before she can press for more, Giana groans dramatically as she climbs out of the car with Ryan's help, her hand pressed to her lower back.

"Ugh, I swear my back is conspiring against me today."

Alex raises a brow. "Your back hurts because you've been glued to the couch watching Korean dramas for three days straight."

Giana scoffs, straightening with all the sass in the world. "Excuse you, I'm old. I deserve peace, comfort, and beautiful Korean men on my screen. What's your problem?"

Alex shakes his head as he walks towards her and leans in to kiss her cheek. "Then we'd better hurry so you can get back to the next episode before you miss out." The sarcasm in his tone is loud enough to earn him a glare from Giana.

"I swear you're lucky I love you."

All the words being spoken fade away as the French doors swing open.

I freeze as a familiar figure walks out.

Eli.

And right beside him is Luca, lan, Noah, Isabelle... all of them.

My jaw drops as my heart slams into my chest like a punch.

"Happy Mother's Day!!" they shout in unison, beaming as they step aside to reveal the grand foyer.
