Goodbye My Arrogant Ex (Marguerite and Leonard) novel Chapter 383

It felt like it had been ages since the two of them had sat down for a quiet meal together. For them, moments like these had become a luxury. Marguerite had been swamped with work lately, and her focus had drifted from matters at home.

Their relationship had been remarkably stable from the very beginning. They hadn’t faced any major storms or life-or-death crises; instead, they had simply become a comforting, steady presence in each other’s lives. Marguerite used to worry that this sense of ease meant he didn’t love her enough, that he was taking her for granted. But after their talk, she saw it differently. It wasn’t a lack of passion; it was a profound sense of security. It was the quiet confidence that came from two people who never imagined a future without the other.

This realization gave her an anchor, a sense of peace that settled deep in her soul. She found herself slowly, willingly, starting to lean on him.

The next morning, Marguerite was just about to head to the office when her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and her eyes widened in surprise. It was her mother. It was unusual for her to call at this hour, and a knot of anxiety tightened in her stomach. Fearing something was wrong, she answered immediately.

“We’re here, sweetheart! We’ve just arrived in the city,” her mother’s cheerful voice came through the line. “I know you’ve both been so busy, so we wanted to come and see you.”

Mrs. Taylor had been worried about her daughter. She knew about the turmoil in Leonard’s family and suspected Marguerite had been enduring more than she let on. On top of that, her son, Hogan, was newly in a relationship, and she and her husband were curious to meet the young woman who had captured his attention.
