Love Affair w/ My Ex-Husband

✧─ Chapter 11 ─✧

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Um... Thanks for watching him." Esther breaks the awkward silence between them two. Baekhyun glances at her with sincerity in his eyes.

"It was no problem. You know I'd do it in a heartbeat." He slowly glances back at his son who was using his fingers to count.

"I'm done!" Jake shoves his pencils and crayons into his crayon box. "Already?" Baekhyun asks as Jake hands him the paper. "Here."

"Wow." Baekhyun scans the paper. "Let me see." Esther approaches Baekhyun from behind.

"It's an apple tree!" He smiles. "I love it!" Esther pinches his cheek, making him giggle. "Now can I go and play games on my iPad?"

"Put it in your backpack first." Baekhyun hands Jake his paper back.

"Yes!!" Jake runs off.

"Curfew is at 8!" Esther shouts.

"I know!!" His voices fades away into the background.

Baekhyun sighs as he slowly turns around. Esther's heart beats rapidly with that lustful look of his. Her eyes move downward as he tilts his head to the side.

He slowly leans his lips towards her lips but Esther steps back, leaving Baekhyun puzzled. "I'm very exhausted right now. Thanks for watching our son." Esther says with a regretful look.

Baekhyun watches with confusion as she leaves the kitchen. "God damn." He sighs deeply as he runs his fingers through his thick hair.

No matter how badly she wanted to kiss him in that moment, her priority was her son. It killed her to reject him like that, but she had matters to settle first.

~Friday~

It was Friday evening, and Jake somehow fell asleep a little bit early while watching a video on YouTube made him feel a bit drowsy.

Baekhyun managed to lay him down on his bed without waking him up. As he sat on the couch, looking at his phone with a blank look on his face, he wondered why Esther still hasn't read his message.

He much would of rather have his message left on read than not be seen at all. "Why is she still ignoring my messages?" He thought to himself as he sighs.

~Meanwhile~

Esther was out having dinner with a few colleagues. Let's just say she's had way too many drinks in her system.

"One more shot!" A colleague shouts.

"She's already had too much!" Another shouts.

"Just look at her. She looks like she's about to pass out."

"One more won't hurt!" She giggles. "Oh? Where's my glass?" Esther says while holding a glass in her hand.

"I can't drink Soju if I don't have my glass!" She looks around with a sad expression.

"It's in your hand."

Esther looks at her left hand. "It's not there!"

"You're right hand!"
