Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

450 Saying Goodbye

(Winona)

The private first-class lounge is quiet except for the staff. We bought out all of first-class seats for privacy and space to move around. With my entourage of medics, nanny and security, we need all the space we can get.

The kids sit on the plush chairs, their legs swinging as they clutch their backpacks. Abby has her favorite stuffed puppy tucked under her arm, its floppy ears trailing as she drags it along the floor. She hasn't let go of it since we left the cottage.

I know this is hard on them. Even with the secret we are all keeping, leaving is going to be incredibly hard. We may be back to Brussels sometime but I don't know if we'll be back with the same family dynamic we started to build here. Jayden is striding along the floor towards the private lounge door. He's dressed impeccably, as always, his broad shoulders rigid. He's trying to hold it together, I can tell, and I know this isn't easy for him. "Daddy!" Abby squeals, breaking the silence as she rushes toward him.

Jayden crouches, catching her in his arms and holding her tightly. "Hey, sweetie," he says, his voice soft in a way that makes my heart ache.

Bobby and Sarah follow, and soon he's surrounded, their arms wrapped around him. I hang back, giving them the space they need, though every part of me aches to be part of that hug.

Lisa stays beside me, her hand resting lightly on my shoulder. Cass pats my arm briefly as well.

Abby buries her face in Jayden's neck. "I don't want to go, Daddy. Please don't make us go!"

He tightens his hold on her, his voice soothing but firm. "Abby, I'll see you again soon. I'll call every day, and I'll come visit."

"But I want you to come with us!" she sobs, her grip tightening around his neck. "I want us to live together again."

"I know, sweetheart. I want that too," he murmurs, his voice thick with emotion. "But right now, this is what's best for everyone. You're going to have such a good time with Mommy and your brothers and sister." Bobby steps closer, his face determined but his lip trembling. "You promise you'll call every day?"

Henry babbles, grabbing at Jayden's collar. Jayden chuckles softly, pressing a kiss to the baby's forehead. Lisa steps forward, her arms crossed. "Have you heard from Lance? He went back to
