HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1029

“Are you sure you’re going back tomorrow morning?” Althea asked in surprise. She was in Eli’s room because Grace had told her that Eli would be returning to the dorm tomorrow morning. Althea had thought Eli would return in the afternoon. The journey to Raven only took an hour, so why did Eli seem to be in such a hurry to leave?

“Grace still wants to spend time with you,” Althea added.

Eli smiled faintly, feeling reluctant to leave her room in this house, but ...

“I still have some assignments to work on, Mrs. Althea. I still want to stay here too, but...” Eli let out a long sigh.

“All right, all right. Don’t feel pressured. You’ll be coming home again next month, right?”

Eli nodded. “I’ll make time to come home.”

“You have to.” Althea gently patted the top of Eli’s head. “And three months from now, you have to clear your schedule for an entire week. We’re going to Carrington Bay.”

There was no way Eli would miss that event. Going to Carrington Bay for the Water Dragon and Lantern Festival had been planned since the beginning of the year. “Yes, of course. I’ll make sure my class schedule doesn’t interfere. We’ll have a vacation together.”

Althea smiled widely. “Don’t let yourself miss it. Naomi might sulk and end up following us to Suncity. That would be very dangerous for her.”

“Right.” Eli nodded in agreement. “Naomi’s pregnancy is apparently making things quite difficult for her. She once complained to me that she couldn’t eat anything except porridge.”

“That’s why we mustn’t delay our trip there.” Althea looked at Eli’s belongings. “I’ve already asked Hans to deliver some food supplies to your dorm. Daven said you look thinner, Eli.”

“I don’t know what else to say for all your kindness, Mrs. Althea.” Eli looked at Althea with tearful eyes. “You really are such a kind-hearted woman.”

“So are you.” Althea gently stroked Eli’s hair. “Study hard and achieve your dreams. We support you.”

Eli hugged Althea tightly. Truly, although their relationship had begun under unfortunate circumstances, Eli had been certain from the beginning that Althea was a kind-hearted woman. And to this day, it had proven true. Eli felt that this house was her family.

“Make sure you keep us updated.”
