Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M Novel novel Chapter 494

Shaking myself, I push those thoughts back. “I don’t know. He says it’s a surprise.”

“I love surprises!” she screams.

“That makes one of us,” I mumble. “Let’s just go.”

Lilly carefully puts her book down before jumping down from her bed. She takes my hand and pulls me from her room. We find Gabriel waiting for us by the door, his legs crossed at the ankles while his hands are folded across his broad chest.

He is wearing a black V-neck t-shirt that hugs his shoulder like a second skin. His thick thighs are encased in a Calvin Klein pair of jeans. There is something about him in that pose that makes him more attractive.

“Like what you see?” Gabriel teases with a smirk, his words pulling me from my thoughts.

"Hmm,” I murmur

Lilly makes a clicking sound that reminds me that she’s present. “I know daddy is good-looking, but you two are disgusting.”

“Wait till you grow up and meet the man that makes your heart race,” I tease her, pinching her cheeks softly. “Every time you look at him dreamily, I’ll remind you of this day.”

The air around us changes.

“She’s not dating anyone until she’s eighty,” Gabriel growls, all traces of fun and games completely gone.

I fold my hands across my chest and mimic him. “She’ll probably start dating when she’s around sixteen or seventeen.”

“Not gonna happen,”

I ignore his chilly tone and continue riling him up.

“She'll robably have her first kiss in middle school,” I continue. “I had my first when I was twelve.”
