The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 3

Since he thought this marriage was something she’d begged for, Reese figured it was time to be honest and lay everything out.

She was ready to tell him the truth—that she knew everything, and she wanted a divorce.-

Right then, her phone rang. Sebastian shot her a quick look and held a finger to his lips, telling her to keep quiet.

“Hey. What’s up?”

Reese glanced at the caller ID. Sofia. Whatever Sofia said made Sebastian smile, just a little. “Okay, I’ll head over now.”

“I need to go to the office. If there’s something you want to talk about, we can find some time later.”

He hung up, and just like that, the cold, distant version of Sebastian was back. He walked out, closing the door behind him.

Reese opened her laptop again, feeling a bitter little laugh rise in her chest.

So, Sebastian really did care about this kid. He couldn’t even wait—he had to rush off to Sofia and report on the baby, didn’t he?

She wondered what they’d do when they found out she’d already ended the pregnancy.

Picking up her phone, Reese sent a message to her lawyer.

[George, if I have evidence that would hurt Sebastian, can you guarantee I’ll get full custody of my son?]

It was late, and she wasn’t expecting a reply. She put her phone down, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Robbie standing in the hallway, holding onto the railing, looking at her with a cold stare.

“Mom, why are you so useless?

“Dad came home and you just let him leave.”

Reese blinked, caught off guard. She’s about to say something, but Robbie went on.

“Since Dad’s gone, there’s no reason for me to stay here either. I’m going back to the main house.”

He turned and knocked on the nanny’s door, woke her up, and started packing his stuff.

“Robbie, it’s late. It’s not safe for you. Let me take you tomorrow,” Reese tried.

But he was set on leaving. He shoved past her, voice sharp. “Don’t touch me!”

“I thought after your checkup today, Dad would stay with you tonight. Looks like I wasted my time.

“If I’d known, I would’ve gone to Auntie Sofia’s. At least I could’ve spent more time with Dad.”

He grabbed the nanny’s hand and walked off without looking back.

Reese just stood there in the nursery, not moving for a long time. Only then did she finally understand what Robbie meant.
