HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1028

"I'll pick you up."

"David—"

"Send me your home address."

Eli fell silent. She couldn't just give him the Miller family's home address. It wasn't because she didn't trust David, but she had never really talked about her family in depth with him.

"You don't have to come all the way to my house. Just pick me up at the bookstore."

"Which bookstore?"

Eli thought for a moment. "Light World in Sentral West."

"What time?"

"Tomorrow at ten."

"All right," David said with a soft sigh.

"Thanks in advance." Eli felt happy because she would get to see David again tomorrow.

However, before their conversation could continue, the voice of a woman came from a distance.

"Hurry up, David. I can't take it anymore. You promised me, didn't you? We can't possibly cancel our Spider-Man movie, can we?"

Eli fell silent. She recognized that voice. It was Natalie.

David sounded as though he had moved slightly away from the phone before answering, "Yeah. I haven't forgotten."

His tone sounded casual, even slightly affectionate. As though he was indeed used to spending time with Natalie.

Eli frowned. "You two ... are going out?"

“Hmm.”

“Why didn’t you tell me yesterday?”

David chuckled softly. “I forgot.”

“Forgot?”

“Yeah. Natalie only just invited me too. If you weren’t going home, I could have spent time with you. Not with someone else.”

Eli fell silent. Something felt uncomfortable in her chest. Not because David was going out with Natalie. At least, she tried to convince herself that it wasn’t a problem.

“You know, right? A lot of people want to spend time with David. If you’re away too often, don’t blame anyone if someone else ends up getting his time first.”

Eli tightened her grip on her phone slightly. She knew Natalie might only be joking, at least, that was what she wanted to believe.

“I’ll be back tomorrow,” Eli finally replied.

“Good. That’s better.” Natalie chuckled softly before handing the phone back to David.

“Tomorrow at ten,” David said. “Don’t be late.”

“Okay.”

The call ended.

Eli continued staring at her phone screen for a few seconds.

She didn’t know why Natalie’s words kept echoing in her mind. She was certain and believed that David cared about her. He was even coming to pick her up tomorrow just to make sure she wouldn’t have any trouble getting back to campus.

However, for the first time, Eli began to feel that perhaps she really had been spending too much time with her family. And maybe, she needed to start learning to give David more of her time.

But ... was that really the right thing for her to do?
