Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 498

“Is the food ready?” I ask our housekeeper once I step into the kitchen.

She answers with a kind smile “Not yet, but it will be in a few.”

“Okay, let me set the table then.”

She goes to argue, but I shut that argument down quickly. I wanted to help. Since she is cooking, this is the least I could do.

“Do you need any help?”

I look up to find Gabriel’s mom on the opposite side of the dining table. I place the plate I was holding down and give her a smile.

“Sure, but I am almost done.”

She walks towards me and begins helping with the glasses and spoons.

“So, Harper, how has my son been treating you?” she asks out of nowhere.

I don’t answer immediately. I take some time to just think about her question, not because I don’t know what to say, but because of the tone of her voice.

She isn’t just asking to make conversation; she genuinely wants to know how Gabriel has been treating me.

I must have taken too long to answer because she stops what she's doing and adds.

“Don’t take it the wrong way. I am not butting into business, but given how he treated you before, I just want to make sure that he is treating you like you deserve.”

The concern is evident in her voice and in her eyes. She’s genuinely concerned about my treatment.

I place the final plate down and smile. “You don’t have to worry; Gabriel is treating me really well. I am not complaining. Trust me when I say, If he were, I would have left him; everything else be damned.”
