Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 388

For the first time since I got his call, I smiled, happy that he was leaning towards getting to know his daughter.

“Then I’ll support you.”

“But how the fuck do I go about it? I know finances like the back of my fucking hand, but I don’t know how to be a father,” he sighed in frustration, making me chuckle.

“You’ve got to realize that there is no handbook that will guide you on how to be a good dad. Even after years of being a father, I still learn new things each and every day. When it comes to being a parent, you just have to wing. Be there for them and do what feels right.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”

“What are you planning to do with Harper and do you feel anything for her?” I asked curiously.

His answer was instant. “Hell no! I don’t feel anything for her, and if it wasn’t for the fact that I needed her, I wouldn’t have bothered.”

Sighing, I asked him the question that has been bothering me since he told me his plans. “Then why the hell did you consider her as a wife? You can have your pick of any woman; why her?”

“I don’t know... Maybe because she’s familiar. I was married to her for three years. I know how she ticks. I also know she won’t expect much from me, just like when we were married. It will be a marriage of convenience where she won’t nag me and get in my space because she knows her place.”

I looked at him skeptically. I don’t know if this is the right time to remind him of what he told me before. There is no way you’ll live with someone for years and not have feelings for them.

It’s too early to say anything, but I believe there is a deeper reason why his mind immediately thought of Harper the moment he was given the ultimatum. Either the reason is hidden deep down and he isn’t aware, or he’s just not ready to admit it.

Our unconscious mind knows what the conscious doesn’t. I think that’s the case with Gabriel. His soul knows something that his mind has yet to conceive.
