My Colonel Ex-Husband Invited Me to Christmas, Unaware I Was Bringing His Four Children

PART 11: VANESSA MAKES HER OWN CHOICE

She had ended her engagement to Daniel and moved out of the apartment they shared.

She wanted to return copies of documents she’d borrowed and clarify which statements she had given to the attorney.

We met in a quiet café near a public library.

She looked tired, but there was relief in her face.

“I keep thinking about your children,” she said once our coffee arrived.

“Especially Ethan asking whether Daniel knew his name.”
