My Ex Boyfriend Begs For A Second Chance

Evara's POV

Under the scorching sun, there was cheering and crowd everywhere, when Julia, my daughter and I waited for my husband Edward to arrive at school to attend the annual sports day.

But ditching us, he was busy accompanying his ex fiance to the cemetery to bury her dead dog.

Arina flexed it on the internet, saying: [Find a man who always makes you number one.]

Everyone cheered for them and even said that the famous CEO Edward would finally divorce his low class wife since the crush was back.

The jab on my heart made me weaker on my knees. I looked at Julia who was crying badly, unable to participate in the competition.

Later, when Edward spent his night in Arina’s place, hugging her close, I chose to end our marriage.

“Edward, we have had enough. Let's divorce.”

*****

“When will papa come?” Julia, our six year old daughter, asked me pitifully. It had been half a day since we were waiting for my husband, Edward, to come and join the annual sports competition in Julia's school. Since it was a parents' sports competition, I could not join without Edward too.

“Soon.” I patted her head, trying to comfort her while the anxiety in my mind rose up.

Edward sent me a message,

[Eva, I can't come today, something came up. Say sorry to Julia.]

And the reason was? Of course, Arina, Edward's ex fiance who left him to pursue her modelling career abroad leaving Edward depressed and heartbroken. Staying by his side, I soothed him at that time and eventually we fell in love. Our marriage was eight years old. During that time, we had a happy family until four years ago Arina chose to come back again after being successful. Since then Edward always ran after her.

I didn't get to know anything from Edward not even a proper explanation until I noticed Arina’s post on Instagram:

Arina_Morris: [Miss u Lulu!]

She posted the picture of her dead dog and her second update was break shaking.

[Find a man who always makes you number one.]

In the picture, she was holding her dog, crying badly when Edward was holding her shoulder closely. They looked like a family.

As they were both elites, Arina was a famous model and Edward was a renowned CEO, everyone rejoiced in their story.

As soon as the photo was up, everyone jumped into the comment section. It was filled with love and condolences for Lulu but the most comment was targeting how good they look together.

Ari_lover: [Say whatever you want, but this duo has great chemistry.]

Make_me_ketchup: [Since the old crush is back, I have a hunch that Edward will leave his wife.]

Green_tea: [Won't everyone do the same?]

Everyone hyped them up, bashing me as a backdated country bumpkin who just clung to Edward for power money.

Looking at their picture together, I recalled the old days. When we were still in college, Arina and Edward often posted their photos on the forum. I fell in love with him but was afraid to confess since he already had a girlfriend. Later Arina left him to pursue her modelling career.

Edward was heartbroken and I accompanied him. We got married for eight years and had a six year old daughter who would turn seven after a few days. Since Edward was a famous CEO and Arina was a renowned model, As soon as the photo was posted everyone bashed them, some even had the guts to say that since Arina was back, Edward would ditch his low class wife. This backlash didn't even leave my daughter, she came back running and cried hard that her classmate said her father would leave us and went to sleep with another woman.

She came running and hugged my legs, “Mom, I am disqualified from the competition. Papa didn't keep his promise.”

I wanted to say that he was busy with work but she showed me the picture of Arina and Edward and said, “Everyone saying that Papa got another wife for him and will leave us now.”

Looking at her crying face, who was hiccuping and on the verge of collapsing, I took her in my arms and left.

It was not the first time Edward did that, before when he was really busy, he always neglected us for his work, now he included Arina on the list too.

Arina posted again. In this photo, Edward was cooking while wearing a girlish apron.

[Sorry Julia and @Evara_Franklin, I am keeping Edward today. Thank you for being so generous.]

When I saw the post I was furious and called Edward who picked up with full of annoyance in his tone.

“What's wrong?” He frowned, his voice was almost grunting, “Why did you call me so late at night?”

“Edward, did you even call Julia once?” I shouted, “When will you be considerate to your daughter? Do you know how badly she cried today?”

Edward fell silent suddenly. He slowly mumbled, “Tell Julia not to cry, Annual sports will be held every year. I will surely participate next time.”

“But here Arina needs me. Christopher is on a business trip. She is not close with anyone except us, how could I leave her at that time? It was my duty, you know?” Hearing his explanation, I let out a dry laughter but before I could say anything, Julia tugged at the hem of my dress and pouted. She took the phone from my hand and switched the voice call into a video call.

As soon as that happened, the scene was horrible in front of us. Leaving Julia traumatised whereas I couldn't move a little.

Arina wrapped her hands around him, while showing her cleavage. They were so close that if I suddenly didn't turn on the video call, they would have kissed. Seeing the scene, my heart sank. Before I could react, Julia cried out and roared badly, “Papa, you are so bad. Danny was right, you will leave me and stay with that woman!”

I abruptly closed her eyes and consoled her when she was mumbling the same line repeatedly, “I don't want to stay with Papa. Mummy, let's run away from here.”

Seeing the scene, my heart broke and when Julia noticed her father was a cheater, she held my hand and said she didn't want to stay with him anymore, she didn't want to have a step mother.

“Edward, let’s end this marriage.” This was the last sentence from me before hanging up the call.
