Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 428

Deciding to ignore them, I stand up once again, get my coat and leave my office. I knew I wasn’t going to get any work done, so why the hell should I even try?

I text my driver asking him to get the car ready before jumping into the elevator. Minutes later, I’m in the underground parking lot.

“Mr. Wood,” he bows slightly while opening the car door for me.

I give him a nod as I enter. He gets in and we start moving.

To kill time, I decide to check out the tabloids.

GABRIEL WOOD FINALLY SETTLES DOWN, ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENTS RELEASED ON ALL THE WOOD CORPORATION SOCIAL MEDIA FORUMS.

THE CITY’S MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR, GABRIEL WOOD, IS NO LONGER SINGLE.

HEARTTHROB, GABRIEL WOOD, FINALLY TIES THE KNOT.

GABRIEL WOOD IS NO LONGER ON THE MARKET.

WHO IS THE LUCKY LADY THAT GOT GABRIEL WOOD TO PUT A RING ON IT?

On and on they went. Some of the theories they had were stupid, while some had some truth in them.

When we get to apartment building, I shut off my phone before getting out. After biding my driver goodnight, I head straight for my home.

I’m surprised when I find Harper in the living room waiting for me.

“You’re finally home,” she says distractedly. “Have you seen the gossip columns? Some of the things they’re saying are utterly ridiculous.”

I chuckle, “Yeah, but it doesn’t matter. Is Lilly asleep? How was her first day?”

After removing my shoes, I walk barefoot to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

“Yes, she’s already asleep. She could barely keep her eyes open. And you were right when you told me not to worry, she had a great day” she says, following me to the kitchen.

I move forward, stepping into her space, “I know I was a shitty husband before, but I was an immature and stupid boy. Things are different this time. I’m different, and I plan to do things differently.”

There were questions swimming in her eyes, but all I could see at the moment were her red lips.

Almost in a trance that I’m sure she cast, I lean forward and kiss her. Just like I imagined, her lips are soft.

Her taste fills me, and fuck! I could get addicted to it.

I coax and tease her until she finally opens up, and I deepen the kiss. The jolt that goes through me at the contact of our tongues meshing almost brings me to her. Kissing a woman has never felt this good.

All too soon, she pulls away. She stares at me speechless and confused before turning around without another word.

I watch her leave, before she disappears. I stay frozen on my spot as the kiss replays in my head over and over again, and the taste of lips lingers. She tasted like heaven.

I thought this marriage would be easy, but I am starting to realize that I’m definitely fucked.
