Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 460

The rest of dinner is silent. He did owe me an apology, but I didn’t know what to say. If I am being honest, I never thought that Gabriel would ever apologize to me. So, to have him doing it and, while being sincere, has left me speechless.

We finish dinner and call downstairs for them to come pick up the dishes.

“I’m going to sleep? Do you need anything before I do?” I ask once the dishes have been cleared and the hotel personnel had left our room.

Deep inside I was panicking at having to share a room with Gabriel, but my jet lag outweighed the anxiety.

“I’m also headed to bed. I’m fucking tired.”

I stifle the surge in panic. I thought I’d sleep before him like I always do. That would give me the time I needed to relax and rest before he joined me. I’d counted on being asleep by the time he decided to pop into bed.

Gritting my teeth in irritation and frustration, I nod my head before stomping to the bedroom.

“Which side do you prefer?” he asks, walking inside before stopping at the bed.

“I don’t really have a preference. As long as I sleep, then it doesn’t really matter.”

“Okay, then I’ll take the left. You take the right.”

“Fine”

We switch sides and I push back the covers before getting in.

“What are you doing?” his voice stops what I am doing.

“Dividing the bed, clearly”

I continue arranging the pillows down the middle of the bed. It’s childish, sue me! I need a barrier between us and that’s exactly what I’m getting.

Once I am done, I settle more comfortably on my side, breathing a sigh of relief.
