Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 472

Releasing a breath, I try to steady my heart. This is one conversation I never thought I would have with Lilly at this age. The one thing I’m grateful for though, is that she didn’t ask where exactly babies come from. That would have been a very difficult conversation.

“I need to head to my room real quick, and then I’m leaving,” I inform them, ignoring the whole baby talk.

“You still haven’t told me where you are going,” Gabriel reminds me.

In my defense, I would have told him, but I got distracted. Well, he distracted me.

“I’m meeting Ava and the girls for lunch.”

I’d been tempted to cancel on them and get some shut eye, but I decided against it. Ava had called a few days before we left Tokyo asking me if I could join them for lunch on Saturday. I’d said yes immediately without really thinking of how tired I’d be after a thirteen-hour flight.

A smile breaks from his lips. “Really glad to see you making friends.”

“Yeah, well, they are awesome.”

“Speaking of friends,” Lilly cuts in. “Don’t forget that Sierra is coming over today for a sleepover.”

“I haven’t forgotten, my sweet.” I answer her. “Is there anything you want me to get for your sleepover?”

She shakes her head. “Maybe more snacks and drinks. I don’t think we have enough.”

“Okay then, I’ll come back with them,” I reply before walking out of the kitchen.

I quickly rush to my bedroom, change into another pair of panties, then leave after saying goodbye to both Gabriel and Lilly.

Thirty minutes later, I arrive at the restaurant she’d told me about. They were already seated and were waiting for me.

“I didn’t think we should order without you, so we got drinks instead,” Ava says as she stands up to hug me.

Connie and Letty do the same, before we take our seats.

“Sorry I’m late, something came up,” I whisper while trying my best to hide my blush, knowing very well what had come up.

I must not have hidden it very well because Lettie catches on to it.

“Did you mean someone? Because from that blush you’re spotting, I’m guessing Gabriel had something to do with you being late.”
