Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 496

I spin around, just taking things in before finally facing Gabriel, who has an expectant look on his face.

“This is huge, Gabriel.” I could tell there were more rooms, but I would explore them later. “How many bedrooms does it have?”

He crosses the short distance to me. “Eight bedrooms and two guest rooms.”

I am stunned into silence as I stare at him. Sure, growing up, we had a big house, but it was a five-bedroom house. That was more than enough.

“Ten bedrooms is too much, Gabriel,” I chuckle nervously. I mean, what the hell would we do with the rest of the room?

He steps into my space before his arm wraps around my waist, pulling me to him. I place my hands on his chest, feeling his heartbeat underneath them.

“I was serious when I said I wanted more children, Harper.” His eyes bore into mine. “This is me making plans ahead.”

“Oh my gosh! I’m going to have a sibling?” Lilly screams, interrupting the intimate atmosphere.

We both turn to her, though Gabriel doesn’t let go of me. Her eyes are gleaming as she looks at us expectantly.

“Not yet, but hopefully soon,” Gabriel answers with a smile and a confidence that scares the crap out of me, especially when I remember we’ve been having unprotected sex.

Lilly’s shriek nearly leaves me deaf. She launches herself at both of us.

“I’m going to be a big sister!” She runs around screaming, her voice echoing through the empty house.

I glare at Gabriel, who is smiling. “You do realize you’ve just raised her hopes.”

"Yes,” he smiles and winks. “That’s because I know I can deliver.”
