HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 639

The car pulled away from the restaurant at a steady pace, gliding through Berlin’s streets now washed in the glow of night. City lights shimmered across the windows, reflections flickering like restless thoughts—but inside the car, the atmosphere couldn’t have been more different. It was far too quiet for what should have been an easy, relaxed ride after dinner.

Lydia sat beside Cale, her body angel slightly toward him, though there was nothing comfortable about the way she leaned. Her arms were folded tightly across her chest, her gaze fixed on the window, as if the passing lights could distract her from everything she’d been holding back since they left.

“I didn’t even get to see the dessert,” Lydia murmured at last. Her voice was soft, but it cut cleanly through the silence. She didn’t turn, her eyes still tracing the city’s reflection in the glass. “I’d been looking forward to it the whole time.”

Andrew, seated in the front, glanced at her through the rearview mirror. His expression remained polite, though curiosity flickered beneath the surface. “Was something not to your liking, Mrs. Lydia? You returned earlier than I had scheduled.”

Lydia drew in a breath, trying to keep her tone light. “No. The place was nice. The food was good.” She paused, then added more honestly, “We just… had to leave early.”

“For something urgent?” Andrew asked carefully.

Before Lydia could answer, Cale spoke. “There’s nothing you need to worry about. We’ll proceed with tomorrow’s schedule as planned.”

His voice was flat, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

Andrew gave a small nod, accepting that without pressing further. “Understood, Mr. Cale.”

Lydia flicked a glance toward her husband. “That’s it?” she asked quietly.

Cale didn’t look at her right away. “What were you expecting?”

“At least an explanation,” Lydia replied, her tone sharpening just a touch. “We just walked out. No clear reason.”

Cale exhaled shortly, his eyes still fixed ahead. “I told you—it’s not our concern.”

“Everything becomes our concern when it happens right in front of us,” Lydia shot back. “She was obviously not okay.”

“And you don’t even know who she is.”

“I don’t need to know her to see she needed help.”
