Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 459

“Shower is free,” I inform Gabriel when I step into the living room.

“I ordered, so feel free to start eating without me” he walks past me and into the bedroom.

It didn’t feel right to eat without him, and I wasn’t that hungry. Instead, I take my phone and just check my emails, going through what needed to be done tomorrow.

I didn’t have to wait long because less than ten minutes later, Gabriel was striding out of the bedroom with a worn-out t-shirt and some sweatpants.

“You didn’t start?” he questions with a raised eyebrow, eyeing the food.

“It didn’t feel right to eat without you when you are the one that ordered for us.”

He takes his seat, and begins uncovering the foods. After serving a small portion, I start eating. I was exhausted despite sleeping on the plane. I couldn’t stop envisioning the bed. I’d been reluctant to sleep in it with Gabriel, but now I couldn’t stop thinking about it. My body begged for sleep.

“So, have you ever been in love?” Gabriel's question catches me off guard.

I turn sharply, only to find his intense eyes on me. Swallowing, I will my mouth to work. This could only go two ways. I could either lie or tell the truth. I didn’t want to lie since he had been truthful when I had asked him the same question. So, the truth is.

“Yes,” I murmur, unable to meet his eyes.

“Your former husband?” there was something in his voice, but I chose to ignore it.

I take a deep breath, “You, actually.”

He’s shocked. Like really shocked. I guess he didn’t expect that.
