Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 429

Harper.

The next morning, Gabriel was nowhere to be seen as I took my breakfast and got ready to leave for work. It was as we were getting in the car and I asked the driver where Gabriel was, did I learn that he had already left for work.

This is the first time we’ve gone to work separately since I started working for him. I didn’t know whether I was relieved or not.

Since he wasn’t around, I decided to drop Lilly off at school first. Her excitement had yet to die. The whole ride to school she kept talking about Sierra. I know my daughter, and I know she’s never been this excited or happy when it comes to another girl.

Sure, she had friends back home where we lived, but none of them were that talked about. I would say that those girls were more of acquaintances than friends to my baby girl.

She never had them over for sleep-overs, and if any of them invited her, she would come up with reasons why she couldn’t attend. She never talked that much about them; not like she was talking about this Sierra who she’s only known for just a day.

Anyway, whatever makes her happy, makes me happy. If Sierra is capable of bringing out this girlish, squealing and giggling persona of Lilly, then who am I to stand in the way?

For once, I am happy to see my baby girl being a child. She has always been too mature for her age. Always carrying herself like she was thirty instead of a little girl. To be honest, seeing this, makes me glad that I agreed with Gabriel to pay for the expensive school.

After I dropped off Lilly, I went to work feeling at ease. The car had barely parked, when she was out of it and running off after telling me a hurried and quick goodbye. It made me laugh, just how excited she was.

“Mrs. Wood, we are here,” the driver’s voice pulls me from my musings.

God! I will never get used to that name. When I was married to Gabriel, no one ever called me that. Well, because no one knew we were married. Now all of our staff at home are calling by his name, and it’s taking time to get used.
