Chapter 103

Scarlett’s POV: I frowned slightly, not quite understanding the sudden shift. “Even if we were still married, and you asked me this, I’d still say yes. Forget custody and the last name… even if you wanted everything I own, I’d hand it over.” “Oh, please, Everett,” I scoffed. “Nobody buys that. I know how men think… your own kid not even taking your name? Isn’t that, like, a pride thing?” He chuckled, raising a brow. “My pride isn’t worth more than seeing my wife happy.” “…” Who the hell said I was still his wife? I was completely thrown off by how Everett kept backing down tonight. I had already braced myself, even considered going to court to fight for custody. But this guy… completely off script. Now, looking at him kneeling on the washboard like some tragic drama scene, eyes lowered, I couldn’t help but have the wildest thought pop into my head. “Everett, I’ve got a serious question for you.” Just hearing the words serious question had him stiffening up like a statue. He swallowed.
