My Ex-wife, My Destination

Daisy’s P. O. V.

As I pack the bags for the trip, Hope goes to the washroom to pee. She made me pack all the dresses she had purchased with her father a few days ago.

“Mommy, come!” As I hear Hope’s shout, I immediately rush to the bathroom, worried about her.

“What-” As I enter, my words trail off, seeing the sight in front of me. Hope has spilt shampoo all over the clothes.

I march towards her, scolding, “Hope, what did you do?”

“Mommy, I was just washing my hands,” she says, giving me an innocent look.

“But, Hope, it’s shampoo,” I explain. “We wash our hair with this.”

“Oopsie-Topsy, Mommy. Hope forgot.” She giggles, and I shake my head in disbelief at her condition.

“Now I have to bathe you.” I kneel and take off her dress.

“Yippee… I’ll bathe again.” She claps her hands with delight because she loves to play with water in her little pink bathtub.

“Hopi, don’t tell me you did this deliberately to take a bath.” I give her a wary look, placing my hands on my waist.

She shakes her head. “I swear, Mommy, it was a mistake.”

She is such a little drama queen.

“Okay, I believe you.” I nod at her before picking her up in my arms. “But be careful next time.” I settle her down in the bathtub and wash her gently, trying to remove all the shampoo from her body.

“Mommy, you also bathe with Hopi.” She splashes water on me, giggling.

“You naughty little girl.” I laugh, gently pulling her nose.

The doorbell breaks our moment.

Hope chirps, “Mommy, it must be Daddy.”

My heartbeat races. Finally, I’ll meet Luke after three long days.

As the doorbell rings continuously, I rise from the floor. “Hopi, don’t do any mischief. Mommy will be right back.” I instruct, pointing my finger at her.

“No mischief. Promise, Mommy.”

I smile at Hope before walking out of the bathroom.

As I approach closer to the main door of the apartment, my heartbeat quickens with each step I take.

Daisy, control yourself. It’s not the first time you are meeting him. And don’t forget, he is the person who treated you like trash and humiliated you.

After composing myself, I open the door.

Luke’s P. O. V.

As the door of Daisy’s apartment swings open, I sigh with relief at seeing Daisy’s face.

She took almost three minutes to open the door. I was so worried about her and Hope during those three minutes. The negativity consumed my mind, driving me crazy.

“What were you doing? Why did it take you so long to open the door?” I ask, concerned, and then my gaze lowers.

Fuck!

Her wet shirt has become translucent, and beneath it, her nipples are clearly visible. My shaft twitches in my pants.

“I was bathing-” She follows my gaze and pauses, seeing her state. She curses under her breath, immediately covering her chest with her arms, and her cheeks crimson red.

A smile tugs at the corner of my lips, seeing her blushing.

“I’m just coming.” She turns on her heels and rushes to the room, causing me to chuckle.

I must say, seeing her after three days is worth it in the end.

I close the door and settle down in the hall after taking a deep breath.

It was quite hard to keep myself away from Daisy for three days. But it was the best decision of my life. All thanks to Eva.

Daisy didn’t get angry or shout at me for planning the trip without her permission. She immediately agreed to it. I was still in disbelief. And she also talked to me normally on the phone.

It clearly seems these three days have really worked like magic and melted Daisy’s heart. Maybe now she’ll let me make amends.

I have a feeling this trip is going to bring us closer.

Daisy’s P. O. V.

I rush to my room, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Why didn’t I notice my condition before opening the door? How could I have been so careless? Especially in front of Luke, of all people.

I wasn’t even wearing a bra. I had pulled it off as soon as I reached my apartment after work.

I hastily grab a fresh shirt from my closet and slip it on before walking into the bathroom.

“Mommy, you’re back. Look, Hopi didn’t do any mischief,” Hope grins at me, coming out of the bathtub as I approach her with a towel.

“My good girl.” I bend down and wrap the towel around her body before taking her to the room.

“Mommy, is Daddy sitting outside?” She asks as I help her put on a pink long-sleeved top with a ruffled collar and pink pants for travelling.

“Yes, baby,” I say, caressing her hair. “Go meet him and tell him that mommy is getting ready.”

“Okay, Mommy.” She sprints out of the room in excitement.

I don’t know how I’m going to face Luke. I feel so shy. Yes, I know Luke has seen me naked countless times, but that was five years ago. Things have changed. I’m his ex-wife now. It’s not so cool to expose myself in front of my ex-husband like this.

Shit! Daisy. What have you done?

I emerge from the room after getting ready in a black crop top and sweatpants. I find Hope talking to Luke, sitting in his lap.

As Luke sees me, he gives me a teasing smile, glancing at my chest. “Nice dry clothes, Daisy.”

“Thank you.” I roll my eyes, folding my arms across my chest, causing him to chuckle.

“Mommy, Daddy, let’s go!” Hope jumps out of Luke’s lap and raises her arms in excitement.

“All ready, Daisy?” Luke asks me, rising from the sofa.

“Yup,” I nod at him. “Let me bring the bags.” I turn to leave.

As I return with the luggage, hanging a handbag on my shoulder, Luke’s driver takes the luggage from me.

“Mommy, you forgot something.”

“What, princess?” I ask, my brows narrowed in confusion.

“Wait.” She rushes to the room and returns within a second, holding her stuffed toy Rabbi.

“How could you forget him, Mommy? You know I don’t go anywhere without him.” She hugs the toy close to her heart, and I smile at her.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Luke picks up Hope in his arms. “Now let’s go, kiddo.”

“Yes, Daddy. Let’s go.” She throws her hands in the air, causing us to laugh.

Luke’s car pulls up to the private terminal at the airport, and I gasp at the sight of his white private jet. It’s the first time I will travel to it.

As his driver opens the car door, I step out, carrying the bag on my shoulder.

“Daddy, will we go on this plane?” Hope asks excitedly, seeing the jet. She is in Luke’s arms.

“Yes, princess. It’s Daddy’s private jet. Wherever we go, we’ll fly in it comfortably and quickly,” Luke grins, holding Hope securely.

“Yay! Mommy, we’ll travel on the plane. Hope is so excited!” She claps her hands with delight, making us chuckle.

Luke gestures for me to follow him as we approach the private jet. A uniformed pilot greets us at the bottom of the steps, and I nod at him before ascending the stairs behind Luke.

“Wow, Daddy, it’s so huge and beautiful.” As we step inside, Hope runs all over the jet, her face beaming with enthusiasm. “Look, there’s a bed too!” She exclaims, jumping on it, eliciting laughter from Luke and me.

There are two cabins with two sofa chairs and one bed. Luke and I settle into the seats across from each other, and Hope explores every corner of the jet, her laughter echoing throughout the cabin.

She rushes towards Luke. “Daddy, can we have ice cream on the plane?” She asks, licking her lips with anticipation.

He chuckles, ruffling her hair. “Of course, kiddo. Whatever you want.”
