The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 501

501 /502

Neither Winona nor Yves was surprised by Julian's arrival.

They had sent him an invitation, and when he didn't show up, they assumed it was because he was too ashamed. It was better that way.

They never expected him to crash their wedding at a moment like this.

All eyes in the venue shifted to Julian.

He stared at Winona, his expression a storm of longing, regret, and heartache. "Winona, can you just give me one more chance?" he pleaded. "You loved me for ten whole years! I'm the only man you've ever loved, and we have two children together..."

As he spoke, Julian's gaze fell upon the little flower girl and ring bearer, Tiana and Zane. "Tiana, Zane, my precious children, please say something to help me. Your mother and I, we're the real family, aren't we? The four of us?"

The two siblings looked at Julian as if he were a complete stranger.

"Tiana, I'm your daddy..." he pressed, his voice cracking. "Your mother loves me. She's loved me since she was sixteen, for ten long years. And now I love her too. Can you please tell her that we should be a family of four, living a happy life together? Please?"

Tiana's gaze was firm and distant. "You are not my father. I didn't have a father before, but starting today, I do. My father's name is Yves Prescott. If you'd like to attend my mother and father's wedding, you are welcome to stay."

Her small voice was clear and unwavering. "But if you don't, then please leave. Okay?"

Tears streamed down Julian's face. "Tiana, I'm your biological father..."

Tiana fell silent, unsure what to say. After a long moment, she spoke again. "You have a wife. Her name is Felicity, and you have two eight-year-old children with her. You also have two more on the way. The six of you are a family. Please... don't interfere with my mother and my father's wedding, alright?"

"No! No, Winona! No!" he cried out, turning his desperate eyes back to her. "You loved me so much! Can't you give me a single chance to repent? Can't you forgive me for making one mistake? You and Yves Prescott have nothing between you, but you and I... we have a shared past, shared children! Winona!"

The man who had always been so composed and aloof was now a weeping mess.

Thousands of guests watched the scene unfold.

Before Winona could even respond, voices rose from the crowd.

"You knew she loved you from the very beginning, but you never gave her a chance, did you?"

"You knew she loved you, you knew you had children together, but you still brought your mistress home right in front of her. You were intimate with that woman in front of her. You never thought about giving her a chance."

"While you were still married, she came to you for help, and you mercilessly tried to exile her and her entire family thousands of miles away. You weren't thinking about giving her a chance to live back then, were you?"

"She only turned to Yves Prescott because you were trying to destroy her. To be precise, you pushed her right into his arms. And now you want her back?"
