Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 426

With that, he links our hands, turns around and pulls me out of the room. The last thing I see before we leave is Milly’s fear. Her fear tells me all I need to know. Yeah, that investigation report isn’t going to be singing praises of her.

We get into the elevator in silence and ride up. When it opens, Gabriel leads me to his office.

“Are you okay?” he asks me when we are inside. “I gave our media team the go ahead to announce our marriage. I just went down to let you know since you weren’t in your office when I came across that disgusting scene.”

I pull my hand from his and then stare at him. “I’m okay. It’s nothing to worry about.”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive”

We remain in silence for a while. I can see he wants to say something more, but something is holding him back. His intense eyes causes me to shift uncomfortably.

“If there is nothing else, I’d like to leave for home. I’ve been anxious all day because of Lilly” I mumble, unable to meet his eyes.

“Sure, I’ll be home once I’m done here."

I nod my head before turning to leave. It’s not that I didn’t appreciate what he did for me, it’s just his actions have made me more confused.

When we were married before, Gabriel never wanted to be associated with me. He didn’t want anyone knowing he had married me, so he hid me and our marriage. Now he has just announced it and threatened anyone who dared to hurt me. I was at a loss for words on how to deal with it.

Going to my office, I arrange my desk, pack my things, then leave. Christopher was nowhere to be seen, so I just leave.

Getting to the underground lot, I find our driver waiting for me. After greeting him, I get in and minutes later, he peels off. I lean back against the leather chair and close my eyes while contemplating things. By the time we get to the apartment building, I’m still as confused as I was when this whole thing started.

Pushing those thoughts to the back of my mind, I focus on my daughter.

“Lilly?” I call the minute I get home.
