After the Divorce, My Ex-Wife Just Can't Move On novel Chapter 9

I opened the door and pushed Noah outside. He immediately began crying, which confused my neighbor.

"Hey, you might not like his mother, but he's still your son!"

"He has a stepfather!"

That comment silenced the neighbor.

Noah didn't leave. He continued crying and calling for me at the door. I opened it again and scolded him.

"Is this how your grandfather raised you? Noah! Have you lost all your manners?"

He sobbed, barely able to speak. I turned to the bodyguards and said: "Get him back right now, or I'll call security!"

I slammed the door shut. My neighbor tried to ease the tension by bringing me a bowl of soup.

"His grandfather is your father, after all. Don't be too harsh on the kid…"

I took a sip of the soup and replied: "My ex-wife's family is very wealthy. Noah only recognizes my father-in-law as his grandfather."

By the end of the meal, the neighbor had stopped mentioning my family.

Later that evening, while out for a walk, I ran into James, who was nearing seventy.

"Can we talk?"

He walked slowly with a cane, and I followed silently.

"Ava's been causing you a lot of trouble lately, hasn't she?"

I nodded.

"She's juggling work and still finds time to bother you. Lucas, you're the second person she's done this to!"

James mentioned that Henry was the first.

"I didn't like Henry from the start, so I found Ava someone else. I didn't expect you to be such a challenge!"
