HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1027

Eli was about to answer when her phone, which she had placed on the table, rang. She glanced at the screen, and David's name appeared.

Eli immediately picked up her phone, but before she could answer, the call ended.

Josh noticed it. "Who was that?"

"A friend." Before Eli could explain, her phone rang again.

Josh raised an eyebrow. "A friend?"

Eli began to feel slightly uncomfortable. "Yes."

"Which friend? Have you told me about this friend of yours?"

Eli looked at him.

Josh leaned back against the sofa, holding back a smile. "Why do you look like someone who just got caught doing something?"

"I didn't do anything."

"Then just answer it." Josh was still watching her with great curiosity.

Eli finally sighed and answered the call. "Hello?"

She listened for a few seconds before giving a brief reply. "Yeah. I've already arrived."

Josh, sitting beside her, noticed the change in Eli's expression. She looked more cheerful as she spoke to the person on the other end of the phone. Even a small smile appeared on her face several times without her realizing it.

After the call ended, Josh immediately looked at her. "So?"

Eli frowned. "So what?"

"Who was that?"

Eli laughed softly. "I told you, a friend."

"A friend who's been calling you repeatedly since this morning?"

Eli fell silent.

Josh looked at her suspiciously, though his tone still sounded playful. "Don't tell me ... he's your boyfriend?"

Eli immediately looked away.

That small movement only made Josh more certain. "Oh."

Eli looked back at him. "What?"

"So it's true. Right?"

Eli bit her lip for a moment before finally nodding. "Yes."

Josh fell silent.

Only for a few seconds, but it was enough to change the atmosphere between them. The smile on Josh's face slowly disappeared, replaced by an expression that was difficult to read. However, Eli did not pay much attention to it.

Instead, she smiled shyly.
