Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 425

“Wife?” Milly repeats the words as if she just can’t comprehend them.

“Did I stutter?” Gabriel asks with an edge to his tone.

The whole room was now silent. Everyone who had been murmuring and pointing at me was now staring at the ground.

I really didn’t need Gabriel fighting my battles for me. I’ve grown a long way from the insecure and timid girl that would allow people to walk all over her. That being said, it doesn’t mean that I don’t like how he came to my defense.

Milly was trembling. Like full body shakes. Her body was still and fear was etched on her face. For the first time since I came to work here, she didn’t look like the arrogant woman I was used to.

With the way she carried herself, you would think that she owned the damn company. She bosses others around, she’s rude and malicious, always treating others (especially women) like they were beneath her or something.

I rarely go down to the other floors, but if I’m needed to, Milly is always there spouting nonsense and treating me like shit.

“I’m sorry Gabriel, I didn’t know she was your wife,” She whispers, her tone begging.

The dangerous air around Gabriel intensifies to an almost choking level. Did the stupid woman have a death wish?

“Who the fuck are you to call me by given name?” Gabriel asks harshly.

He didn’t need to shout or yell, but the intensity of his words was enough to produce the same outcome.

Milly flinched at his harsh tone and at the realization she just called her boss by his name.

“I-I’m sorry Mr. W-Wood,” she stammers, the words barely leaving her lips.

Ignoring her, Gabriel takes my hand and moves us to the middle of the room. My hands clench his as I start to get nervous. Everyone’s eyes were on us and I didn’t like the attention.
