Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 208

ALEX

"I didn't know traitors had birthdays." I click my tongue as we step into the ridiculously decorated room.

Gold balloons, silk table runners, champagne, and a cake so tall it probably has structural support.

lan doesn't even eat cake for fuck's sake.

My sister either does a great job or a shitty job at hosting events there's never an in-between. And judging by the way the glitter is already sticking to my shoes, this one's screaming "Emotional breakdown wrapped in sparkle."

Athena loops her arm through mine and leans in. "Be nice."

"I am being nice," I mutter, my eyes narrowing on the guests. "I showed up."

"Like you wouldn't." My wife rolls her beautiful eyes in that dramatic way she does and I'm already turned on.

Scratch that, her existence alone turns me on.

Peeling my eyes away from her because I'd hate to move around with a boner, my eyes find Katelyn's.

She smiles as she walks over to me.

"Look at you all grown up! Why don't you call and visit me anymore?" She pulls me in a tight hug.

"I'm sorry. The past months have been crazy."

"No worries! I'm glad I can now see you. Athena! How are you sweetheart?"

"I'm fine Mrs Quinn how are you?" My wife smiles.

"Nonsense! We are family, you can call me mum" She winks.

"She loves to collect us like trophies!" I tease, placing my hands in my pockets to keep from touching Athena.

"You can't blame me! I'm a sucker for more kids. But lan's father wasn't for the idea so here we are. Collecting bonus babies!" She sighs.

"Mrs. Quinn" Sloane's voice seems different.

She's nervous?

"I told you to call me mum, pretty girl!" She reprimands her.

I shake my head,

"If you'll excuse me for a bit. Great party princess."

She rolls her eyes so hard I'm shocked they're not stuck on the back of her head.

"You're probably mocking me."

"You know me so well." I hold back a laugh.

I kiss my wife's lips and her forehead before walking away to join Luca as we wait for the birthday boy to arrive.

"I wonder how they'll get that stubborn ass over here." Luca says the moment I reach him.

I scoff. "Doesn't take much to lure in a traitor."

Luca chuckles.

"Still mad?"

I give him a look. “Does my face look mad?"

The fucker looks up then laughs.

"You're one petty little bitch."

I grab a bottle of water, "At Least I'm not playing push and pull with my fuck buddy."

"I should get lan to grovel at your feet before this bitterness spreads around the world."
