Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife

few seconds later, the soft voice coming from the bed made Grey and me abruptly pull away from each other so we could look at the bed. We both saw our son looking at us. My heart jumped, and I immediately went to Dylan's side and grabbed his hand.

"Mama." It was the first word that came from his lips. The sound of his voice made my heart swell with joy.A Despite being away from me for years, he had never forgotten that I was his mother. I was so happy that tears welled in my eyes. From looking at me, Dylan's eyes shifted to his father: He opened his small mouth and, in a soft voice, mumbled, "Papa."

Grey's throat moved as he swallowed hard. I could tell by the way he sucked in a deep breath that he was trying to contain his emotions. "Yes, my little boy, papa is here," Grey replied, his voice thick with emotion as he spoke. Crossing the small distance between him and the bed, he gently pulled Dylan into his arms. He was trying his best not to burst into tears, but his eyes clearly showed how he felt at that moment.

I wiped the tears that had fallen on my cheeks with the back of my hand. Watching Dylan and Grey together made my chest swell with happiness and contentment. In that very moment, I realized there was nothing more beautiful than seeing them together once again after the torturous years they'd been apart. I could see how much Grey loved our son, just

as much as he loved Isabelle and me.

I turned to the other side of Dylan's bed and sat at the edge. "Mama and Papa will never leave you again. We will always be beside you from now on," I promised Dylan, kissing him on the cheek after Grey let him go. "We have a lot of time to make up for the time we've lost, but we have a lifetime to show you how much we love you."

Dylan said nothing. He just looked at me and Grey with a gentle expression in his eyes. Then his small lips curved into a smile as tears pooled in his bright eyes. In his childlike voice, he murmured, "I love you both."

Grey and I exchanged smiles before our eyes shifted back to Dylan.

"We love you too, little boy," we both whispered, hugging him together.

Two days later, Dylan was finally discharged from the hospital, and we brought him to the house where the whole family welcomed him. He'd been shy and aloof

at first since he knew no one from the Phoenix family, but after staying at the house for weeks and seeing how good and fond everyone was of him, he gradually softened.

Dylan was slowly returning to his old self again, and he even learned how to smile and talk a lot more. He adored everyone, including my six brothers, who treated him like a pampered little boy. My brothers took him swimming and brought him to the mall, and every time he came home, he would have a large collection of toys that sometimes drove me crazy. I even joked about how they brought the entire toy store home. My brothers also taught Dylan basketball and various sports so they could bond with him and help him experience the freedom of being a child.

Though Dylan adored everyone, he especially adored Isabelle above all else. He always wanted to sleep beside his younger sister and would often say that he would always protect our little girl so no one would harm her.

Despite the positive improvements Dylan showed every day, Grey and I still regularly brought him to a therapist to help him mentally. What he went through at Ash and Natalia's hands was not easy, especially as a child. With the help of a therapist, I wanted him to completely forget about his traumatic experiences.

Grey had been busy with his stepmother and stepbrother's burials. Despite what Ash and Elizabeth had done to him, he somehow felt obliged to give them a decent burial because, after all, they had been members of his family. As for Natalia's body, it was handed over to her family, and she was laid to rest just days after Ash and Elizabeth's burial.

A few days later, Grey showed up at the house to formally ask my parents for my hand. Sophia and Elizabeth privately talked to him, and when they finally emerged from the library, Grey came out with a grin on his face. He told me that both Sophia and Philip had given him their permission to marry me again after learning that Grey and I weren't legally

divorced at all. I grinned back at Grey and told him he would have to wait for a year until I agreed to marry him. O

"I told you, I will wait," he told me, and afterward, he landed a quick kiss on my lips before I could even object.noveldrama

Grey grabbed my hand and pulled me downstairs, telling me a visitor was waiting. "A visitor?" I asked, my temples scrunched in confusion. I didn't recall expecting anyone today.

He did not reply; instead, he excitedly pulled me downstairs, where a familiar face greeted me at the bottom. It was Celine, my best friend! My eyes went wide in surprise and shock. She was here! I could not believe what I was seeing.

I skittered down the last steps and immediately went to Celine. We hugged each other with tears in our eyes.

"Your husband already told me what happened. I'm so happy to see you well, happy, and alive," Celine said when the hug ended. "I thought I lost you. I don't have any words to explain how I feel right now. If it weren't for Grey, I would never have known what exactly happened to you," she continued, dabbing a handkerchief to her wet eyes.

I cast Grey a thankful glance, which he responded to with a smile before my eyes returned to Celine.

"I want you to be my Maid of Honor at my wedding," I broke the news to my best friend.

Celine blissfully smiled at me and replied, "It would be an honor."

We then exchanged meaningful smiles.
