Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 455

“Harper?” his voice calls me.

“Oh, sorry, I got lost in thought for a moment.” I shake my head to clear my mind. “Yes, I’m done packing.”

“Good, let’s go then.”

An hour later, we were seated in Gabriel’s private jet. This time though, I was accompanying him to sign a business deal.

“Everything okay? Do you need anything? I can get the hostess to bring you whatever you want.” Gabriel says the moment his jet starts taking off.

See what I meant? He’s very attentive.

Back when we were married, he wasn’t. I don’t think Gabriel ever did anything to make me happy. In fact, it was the opposite. He never cared about my needs or wants. He never cared if I was comfortable or not. He never cared if I was alive or not. He simply never cared about me.

Things are different now, though, and that’s why I’m having a hard time. It’s like he’s my genie and my wish is his command.

“No, I’m okay. If I need something I’ll let the hostess know,” I mumble.

Nodding his head, he then pulls out his laptop.

I lean back against the plush leather chair and settle more comfortably. I didn’t want to think. I didn’t want to drive myself crazy with questions I had no answer to.

It’s not that I hate him, I don’t. I forgave him a long time ago. The thing is, despite this, I still remember. My heart still remembers the pain. It takes a lot of energy to hate someone, that’s why, around a year after being divorced, I let go of the bitterness. I didn’t want it to taint me.

I also didn’t want to feel the pain. I didn’t want to remember the heartache, so I tried burying all of them. I tried numbing myself. Lilly was an exact replica of her father. That was hard enough without me holding on to what he did to me.
