Chasing My Ex-wife Back by Symplyayisha Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Shocked as to how his Son stormed away from his sight, Moore took fast steps to the office glass window. From the window, he saw Cole speaking into the phone with smiles all over his face and how he excitedly jumped into his car, and drove off.

Moore took out his phone from his pocket, scrolled through his contact list, and dialed the person on his mind.

Hi. Uncle. The familiar cheerful voice came through.

“What is going on with my son, Jessica?”

What do you mean?” Jess asked, confused. “Please don’t tell me you both fought again?”

“Cole wouldn’t say anything to me, that is why I called you. No, we didn’t argue. But he is just acting so weird.”

“How?” Jessica asked, careful of what she was going to say.

“He disappeared for a week. We were in the meeting all through the morning and once the meeting ended, he disappeared

from the conference room. I trailed him to the office only for him me. He said he has an important meeting.”

You know Cale would never disrespect you, Uncle. He must have been so late for the

in a hurry.

the meeting that he left you in the office

“That’s not the point, Jess. He has been acting strangely. I may not be an active member of this company but I know when he is to attend important meetings overseas. He disappeared for a week to God knows where and he returned happier than I have ever seen him.”

“You don’t want him to be happy?”

“Don’t get me wrong. I will always choose my Children’s happiness over any and everything in this world. But Cole is – beginning to freak me out. He is being really suspicious. It is as though something exciting is going on in his life and he

doesn’t want to share with me”

“You are his best friend. I’m sure he tells you everything. That is why I called you. What the hell is going on with Cole?”

Jessica said nothing.

“And don’t you dare manipulate me by changing topics? You are a lawyer and that can make you corny.”

“I had thought Cole would be cranky because of all of Vanessa’s trouble lately but he doesn’t even seem bothered. Is he seeing someone? Who is the Girl? Is it Hailey?”

“Why would you think his new behavior has to do with a girl?”

“Eric told me Vanessa hired someone to spy on him. The detective said he saw Cole leaving the airport with Hailey and some kids.”

“You told that to Cole?”

“I did. But he didn’t respond. He shrugged off my conversation and ran off.”

“I really don’t know what to say. Yeah, Cole and I are close but sometimes he can be really secretive. I guess him being happy is a good thing. And if there is an important reason behind it, I’m sure he is going to share with us soon.”

“In the meantime, I don’t think you should be troubled about anything Vanessa says. If she’s a sane person, She won’t be stalking a grown–up person who has declared he doesn’t love her and doesn’t want anything to do with her either. Cole also has a restraining order against her, She is just an eyesore. I honestly don’t know why you are still friends with Eric.”

Chapter 62

“Don’t try to manipulate me into feeling guilty Eric and I have been friends for a very long time

Tm not trying to make you feel bad. But the truth is just that Eric made terrible choices in his life. His wife and daughter are the most toxic people you would ever know. I would avoid him if I were you”

“Don’t talk that way about my friend. He has made mistakes in the past that he isn’t proud of. No doubt he is paying for his

Jessica rolled her eyes even though Moore couldn’t see her. “A friend whose daughter keeps stalking your Son. I would keep thers at arm’s length if I were you.”

“I told you already that Eric means well to me. He was just shocked when Vanessa mentioned seeing kids with Hailey and

And that conversation sort of gave me sleepless nights. I know Cole and I don’t exactly have the best father–son relationship but I don’t think things would be that bad that my son wouldn’t open up to me that he has a kid. The thought alone makes

me feel like a monster.”

You are overthinking. Uncle. I don’t know why you feel like Cole tells me everything.”

“Come on, you both are close. I know you have to protect his confidentiality as your client and his interest cos he is your friend. But I’m having this conversation with you because I see you as my daughter.”

best

“I know and I promise you that I’m not judging you or any of your actions. Your son is an amazing man and I promise you that he respects you a lot. All I know is that, even if Cole is hiding something from us, he cannot hide forever. We will know about it real soon. There is nothing to worry about.”

“I think I’m going to call him. It’s been like forever since I have heard from him too.”

Cole stares in confusion as a police car pulls up in front of him. His frown got even deeper when he saw three cops get down from the car and approach him.

He slid down the glass window of the driver seat as one of the cops was about to knock on the window.

“How may I help you?” His voice was filled with so much confusion. He wasn’t someone to break the law and he was more than certain he was driving within the speed limit.

“Please come down, Mr Matthis.”

Even though Cole was very confused as to what was happening, he obeyed. He e got out of the car and came face to face with the three police officers.

“You are under arrest for Assault and Attempted murder on one pregnant Vanessa Summers.”

“Vanessa? What the hell?” Cole said not believing all that he was hearing.

He shook his head. “This has to be some kind of joke.”

“You heard us, Mr Matthis. Please come with us.” Another cop said, gesturing towards the police vehicle.

“I am sure there is a mix–up somewhere. I’ve got an important place to be. My kids are waiting for me. I need to pick them up from school. They would get scared if they don’t see me.” Cole had no idea when his eyes got heavy with tears at the thought of this.

He had been looking forward to the first day he was going to pick up his kids from school and today he was so close to seeing that dream turn to reality but Vanessa took away his proud father moment.

Chapter 62

During the mii vacay. Offie and Enzo made it known to him that they would love to introduce him to their friends in school, including Enzo’s crich, Aubrey

Cole didn’t want to disappoint his children because he was at the point in his life where he was starting to earn their trust He missed so much in their lives already and he was doing all that he could to make it up to them. He didn’t want their trust. in him to die once they thought of him as an inconsistent father.

Cole’s heart shartered at the thought of what Hailey might think about him after all of this. His reputation was ruined already and he was starting to get scared if Hailey would still want to have anything to do with him.

Please, my kids need me.” He said more sincerely this time around, hoping the cops would be lenient with him or at least give him some sort of leverage since he was a public figure.

“You need to come with us right now or we are going to force you to. One of the cops said.

Cole was trying to crack his head for what to say to make them believe he was innocent when his phone rang. He quickly reached for it.

You are not….” One of the officers was saying when Cole interrupted. “That’s my lawyer. I am allowed to talk to my lawyer, right

He didn’t wait for a response but went ahead to pick up the call, bringing the phone to his ear, and ignoring all of the stares given by the people who were waiting to take him into their vehicle.

“Dude, you wouldn’t believe your father almost made me spill the truth to him.” Jessica’s cheerful voice came through.

“Jess, I just got arrested.”

“What? Why?”

“You hit someone? Traffic rules?”

“No. Bitchy Vanessa is suing me for Assault and Attempted murder.”

“I’ve never wanted someone dead so bad in my life. I wished you actually ended her life that day.” Jessica’s anger didn’t go unnoticed in her voice.

“Where are you now? At the station?”

“Not yet. They want me to come with them. I was thinking I could report to them later because I have to pick up the twins. Hailey would be so disappointed in me.”

Cole sighed.

“Try to stay calm, dude. I will do what I can to get you out of there as soon as possible. Follow them and don’t say a word to them until I get to you.”

“And please don’t feel sad about Hailey and your kids. Everything will be sorted.”

Cole nodded reluctantly, forgetting that Jessica could not see him.

“Please reach out to Hailey and let her know what’s happening so she will go get the kids. I will forward her number to you now. Please let her understand that this is beyond my control.” Cole said with a heavy heart.

“I’ll make her understand. Please don’t feel bad. I will be with you shortly.”

“Thank you.” Cole ended the call and instantly sent Hailey’s number to Jessica. His phone was taken away from him after which he surrendered to the Cops, Two officers ushered him into the police vehicle while one got into his car, driving it
