Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819 It Was Really You

These two months of clearing her head had truly changed Bria’s mindset. She was no longer ruled by extreme emotions. She knew what she wanted now and could respond normally instead of reacting out of pure impulse.

She’d thought about calling Kaleb in advance, but after two months of no contact and after ruining his birthday party before she left, he probably wished she’d disappear forever.

Calling him wasn’t an option. He’d probably blocked her already.

She couldn’t just show up in front of him either. That would only scare him off, or worse, make him look at her with that same disgust again.

After going back and forth in her head, Bria came up with what felt like a better way to meet him.

A family gathering.

With Ayla, Draven, and the twins there.

In that kind of setting, she wouldn’t focus too much on Kaleb, but through interacting with Ayla and the kids, she could let him quietly see how she’d changed.

It would be a gentle way to start. Then she could keep showing her best side. This time, she was truly trying to win him over. She couldn’t keep arguing or losing her temper.

That was the plan. But chances like that were rare. Unless it was a holiday, it would feel too forced, and everyone was busy. It wasn’t easy to get everyone together.

Bria wanted to see Kaleb too badly. She couldn’t wait that long. In the end, she secretly checked his schedule and followed him in her car.

She didn’t think of herself as a stalker. She just wanted to see how he was doing, to know something about him.

These two months of self-discipline had made her cut off all information about Kaleb. The good part was that her emotions had stabilized a lot. The bad part was that every single caption she posted on social media ended with the same line: she missed him.

Now she really did. She just wanted to see him once.

It was a weekday. Kaleb wasn’t at the company. He was out entertaining clients at a golf course. At one point, he stood by the lake for a long time, hesitating before throwing something into the water, then turned and walked away.

Bria was curious. What did he throw in there? Why did he hesitate for so long before doing it?

After Kaleb and his group left, Bria walked to the edge of the lake. She was planning to go into the water to retrieve whatever it was.

The bodyguard beside her was about to call someone else to do it.

9:28 am Pppp.

But Bria had already stepped into the water.

After an hour, she finally found something that looked like what he’d thrown.

It was a ring.

**Finished

Soaked through, Bria crouched by the lake, turning it over and over, but she couldn’t see anything special about it. She even worried she’d picked up the wrong thing. But according to the surveillance footage, it was this ring. There was no mistake.

Bria couldn’t figure it out, but she kept the ring.

Half an hour after she left, Kaleb came back and jumped into the water to retrieve it.

It was the ring he’d once bought, planning to confess to Bria with it.

He thought once he threw it away, that was it. But suddenly, he regretted it and rushed back as fast as he could.

Kaleb searched for a long time but couldn’t find any trace of the ring. Exhausted, he climbed back onto the shore. As the sky grew darker, his mood dropped to the lowest point, worse than it had ever been.

A staff member from the golf course drove by on patrol and saw what looked like a statue sitting by the lake. When he got closer, he realized it was a man, his expression heavy, his presence cold and unapproachable.

But they couldn’t just leave him sitting there like that, so the staff member went over and asked what was wrong.

The sudden interruption snapped Kaleb out of it. He came back to himself, recalling what he’d just done. and felt a deep sense of absurdity. He said nothing. Loosening his clenched fists, he stood up, pressed his lips together, and turned to leave.

The staff member looked at the strange man, then thought of the woman who had jumped into the water earlier and muttered to himself, “Weird. What’s in that lake today? Why’s everyone diving in?”

It was meant as a casual remark, but the silent, cold man suddenly turned back, his voice low and restrained. “What did you just say?”

The staff member jumped. “N-nothing.”

“You said more than one person came to the lake?”

“Y-yes. Before you got here, a woman jumped in to look for something too.”

Kaleb’s pupils trembled. A faint hope rose in his chest, but he was afraid it would turn out to be nothing. He lowered his voice. “Who was it?”

“I-I don’t know her, but she’s a friend of the golf course owner.”

“I want to see the surveillance footage,” Kaleb said.

“That’s not allowed.”
