HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602

Cale stepped up behind her and wrapped his arms around her without resistance. He rested his chin lightly on her shoulder. The soft scent of Lydia’s perfume drifted toward him, and Cale closed his eyesfor a moment.

“Because we’re always busy.”

“Especially you,” Lydia muttered.

“I know.”

Lydia turned her head slightly. Cale was standing very close now.

“So,” Lydia said quietly, “you’re really serious about that one month?”

Cale looked at her. “Yes.”

“We’ll be busy once you tell your family about this plan.”

Cale brushed a brief kiss against Lydia’s lips. “I just don’t like delaying things that are already certain. And you don’t need to worry about all that.”

Lydia laughed softly. “You really are an infuriating man.”

“But you like this infuriating man, don’t you?”

Lydia hadn’t had time to answer when Cale lifted his hand, gently turning her body toward him. His fingers came up to touch her face with surprising tenderness.

A touch that contrasted sharply with his cold reputation.

Lydia studied him for a few seconds before murmuring, “You never change.”

Cale didn’t argue. Instead, he leaned a little closer.

He didn’t wait long before kissing her again-softly this time. The kiss began slowly, almost hesitant, but deepened within seconds when Lydia reached up, gripping the collar of Cale’s shirt and pulling him slightly closer,

Cale brushed Lydia’s cheek with his thumb before kissing her again, unhurried.

For a moment, time seemed to slow,

When they finally pulled apart, they were still standing very close to each other.

“You’re really insufferable,” Lydia whispered,

Cale gave a faint smile. “But you didn’t refuse me.”

Lydia let out a quiet breath before finally saying, “Continue before I change my mind.”

Cale didn’t say anything. He let Lydia begin to step away-but before she could take more than a step, Cale pulled her gently back toward him.

The movement was quick, yet careful.

“Cale-”

Lydia’s words cut off when he lifted her effortlessly. In one smooth motion she was already in his arms, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist. Her hands automatically caught his shoulders to steady herself.

“Are you serious?” Lydia whispered, her breath catching slightly.

Cale only looked at her for a moment. “Don’t talk so much.”

Lydia let out a soft huff. “You really have no idea how to behave like a normal person.”

“It’s a little late to realize that, isn’t it?”

“In that case… don’t think you can stop now.”

Cale didn’t answer.

Instead, he kissed her again-deeper this time, though still slow. Gentle and affectionate at first, but gradually more demanding. Lydia’s hand moved to the side of his face while Cale drew her closer until the space between them disappeared completely.

Outside the window, the afternoon light slowly shifted toward evening.

And for the first time in a long while-after months filled with work and endless business trips-they allowed time to pass without rushing it.

Their conversation grew sparse, replaced by small touches, quiet laughter, and a comfortable silence between them. Occasionally Lydia rested her head against Cale’s shoulder.

“I should probably tell Mom and Dad we’re spending the day like this,” she said softly. “I don’t want them to worry.”

Cale casually brushed her hand through her hair. “They don’t need to know.”

Lydia smiled faintly. “You’re such an infuriating man.”

“You’ll regret labeling me like that,” Cale said, loosening his tie before moving closer to her again.

“Why would I regret it?” Lydia asked with a soft laugh. Without realizing it, the tip of her tongue brushed lightly across her lips.

The small, unconscious gesture was enough to test Cale’s restraint.

He leaned in without hesitation, capturing her lips again-swift and certain-drawing a breathless reaction from Lydia.

“You’re impossible,” she murmured.

Cale chuckled quietly, though his arms remained wrapped around her in a warm, steady embrace as the afternoon slowly faded into evening.

“Let’s see just how impossible I can be today.”
