Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 457

The jet comes to a halt on the runway. Gabriel’s hand stops me from jerking forward when the plane lands.

“You good?” he asks, his eyes searching mine.

“Yeah”

After Gabriel told me about the girl he fell in love with, nothing much happened after. He was carrying scars that still haunted him. Scars that had tainted him.

I could see it in his eyes after he told me everything. He didn’t want to talk anymore. He had revealed something about himself that no one else knew. Not even his twin brother.

I didn’t push him to talk more about it. I didn’t demand he tell me what happened after he found out the truth or what happened to the girl. He felt vulnerable, and I understood that he needed time to get himself together, so I gave him space.

I spent half of the time reading, and the other half sleeping. He was still attentive even when he was pulling away from me. He would regularly ask if I was comfortable or needed anything.

His hands on my belly, pulls me from my thoughts. I look down, only to realize that he was undoing my seat belt.

“You do realize I can do that myself?” I try to push his hands away, but he doesn’t budge.

“Yes, but I can’t pass up any opportunity to touch you,” he drawls.

His lazy grin tells me all I need to know. Gabriel had pulled himself together, and he was now back to normal.

Once he’s done, he stands up before gently grabbing my hand and pulling me up. For a moment my legs wobble. I latch on his bicep to stop myself from falling given my legs had gone to sleep.

He seems to understand and just lets me hold on to him. After a few minutes, blood starts circulating normally, and I’m able to move.

“Thanks” I whisper, not really knowing what else to say.

He doesn’t say anything, just gives me a small jerk of the head. He guides us outside, and after going through clearance, we get inside a waiting car.

“Have you even ever used a normal car before?” I ask eyeing the vehicle before us, before climbing in.
