# Chapter 26: The Phone Call That Changes Everything
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 26 of "Seduced By My Ex's Divorce Attorney audiobook free". This chapter is a rollercoaster: it starts with fire and laughter, settles into a rare moment of domestic warmth, and then rips the rug out from under us with two phone calls that could change everything.
We open with Hannah admitting something dangerous: she doesn’t entirely hate Roarke’s caveman streak. He tosses her onto the bed, and she teases him about being gentle. He makes it very clear he isn’t feeling gentle today. Their banter about his black underwear is playful, intimate, and so them—Hannah poking at him, Roarke smirking, both of them circling each other like magnets. When she calls him boring, he turns her face up to his and asks if she really thinks that. She doesn’t. Not even close.
What follows is a passionate scene where Hannah takes the lead. She kisses him with ownership, undresses him, and drives him to the edge with a confidence that leaves Roarke completely undone. For Hannah, the thrill isn’t just physical. It’s watching this controlled, powerful man lose his composure because of her. It’s addictive in a way she never expected. And Roarke, true to his word, makes sure to repay her in full—with interest. The heat between them is undeniable, but it’s the trust underneath it that makes the scene linger.
Later that day, we get something softer. Hannah and Roarke snuggle on the couch while Lucy paws at Nickel’s cat toys and Nickel looks on like a grumpy little king. Hannah asks why he has a cat, and Roarke hesitates because he doesn’t want her to think he’s soft. But he tells her the truth: Nickel was a stray, the last kitten in a free box outside a liquor store. Roarke felt bad for the little furball and took him in temporarily—except temporary clearly turned permanent. Hannah smiles, and we see a side of Roarke that makes him almost impossible not to love.
They flip through channels. He wants something manly like *Die Hard* or *The Terminator*. Hannah wants *Dirty Dancing*. He groans, she insists, and eventually she wins. She tells him she thinks the cat story is sweet. He reminds her that she didn’t always think he was sweet. So she straddles him and admits she was wrong—this one time. Lucy barks in protest, the little twat swatter, but neither of them cares. Roarke’s hands find her ass, his fingers slipping under her panties like it’s a habit he can’t break, and Hannah realizes she’s come to love it. It’s as if he doesn’t want even the thinnest silk barrier between them.
But beneath the happiness, Hannah’s mind starts to wander. Will they ever get enough of each other? Will there come a day when he wants to sleep in another bedroom, when his hand won’t slide along her ass as she passes, when he stops cornering her for kisses or asking her to keep him company while he cooks? Will all the little intimate moments fade away like they did in her marriage to Todd? Her heart says no. But that annoying part of her brain whispers that she’s living in dreamland.
Then his phone starts vibrating. He ignores it. It stops, then starts again. A text beeps. The phone rings once more. Hannah asks if he should get it. He says no, his voice throaty, and kisses her like he’s starving. But when the phone won’t stop, he finally checks it. His hand, which had been smooth and warm on her legs, stops moving. He scrolls. Then he gently lifts her legs, stands, and says, “I’ll be right back.”
He disappears for ten minutes. It’s the second time this week he’s sheltered himself away for a call. On the TV, *Dirty Dancing* plays on. Baby’s dad has just found out she’s been sleeping with the dance instructor. Baby’s world crashes down around her. And just like that, Hannah’s does too.
Roarke emerges from the hall in jeans, a polo shirt, and shoes. He’s even run gel through his hair. He walks straight to her, kisses her chastely, and says he has to run out really quick. Hannah is stunned. Where is he going? He says he has something to deal with for a client. He wraps his arms around her and tells her it kills him to leave, especially when she’s dressed in almost nothing. She tells him not to go. He says if he had a choice... and then tells her to order sushi. He’ll be back to eat it off her.
He kisses her deeply, cradling her cheek, his tongue sliding into her mouth until all her doubts vanish for a few blissful minutes. By the time he pulls back, she’s breathless with swollen lips. “That way you won’t forget me,” he says with a smile. It’s meant as a tease. But his words sear right into her biggest wound. Then he grabs his wallet and leaves.
Hannah doesn’t have long to sit in her own head, because her cell phone starts ringing immediately. Scarlett’s name flashes on the screen. Hannah silences it, staring at the phone, wondering if that’s where Roarke ran—to meet David, to conjure up a plan to take everything from Scarlett. A beep sounds. Scarlett has left a voicemail.
Hannah crosses her fingers, hoping Scarlett is going to go on and on about how busy she is with David and the kids. But from the minute she hears Scarlett’s voice, she knows that’s not the case. Scarlett sounds shallow, drained of her usual light, airy tone. She says it’s been forever, she misses Hannah, they definitely need to do lunch. She’ll be in the city next week for a meeting with a lawyer. David filed for divorce. “But you probably already know that,” Scarlett says. “I’ll be damned if he gets Brody and Nell. Call me back. I could use some advice from someone who’s been there.”
The line dies. Hannah grips the phone tighter. Is Roarke representing David? God, she hopes not. But she clearly heard his assistant saying Mr. Quinton. It would be way too much.
And that’s where the chapter leaves us—heart pounding, stomach sinking, and the man she’s falling for suddenly looking like a stranger.
**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating**
Oh, this chapter hurts in the best way. The opening gives us heat, playfulness, and a delicious power shift between Hannah and Roarke. The couch scene with Lucy and Nickel is adorable, and it makes Roarke feel safe—maybe too safe. Then the phone rings, and we remember exactly what kind of story we’re in: a romance built on divorce, secrets, exes, and legal battles. Hannah’s fear isn’t just about Roarke cheating. It’s about repeating the pattern Todd taught her—that she can’t control what a man does, only how she survives it. The Scarlett voicemail is a knife to the chest. If Roarke is David’s attorney, the conflict is nuclear. If he isn’t, why is he being so secretive? I rate this chapter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars. It balances steam, tenderness, and suspense with a cliffhanger that makes you hit play immediately.
**Next Chapter Prediction**
Next chapter, Hannah will likely confront Roarke the moment he returns—or she’ll spiral first and call Scarlett back. I predict she asks him point-blank if he’s representing David Quinton. Roarke may evade, then admit he’s handling something for David, or reveal a twist: he’s not David’s attorney but someone connected to the case. Scarlett will come to the city, and Hannah will be torn between loyalty to her friend and love for Roarke. The sushi night will either become a battlefield or a reconciliation before the storm. Either way, the secrets are about to explode.
