HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 753

Chapter 753

The atmosphere inside the hall, which had been suffocating with tension only moments ago, gradually became far livelier after every faction member officially paid their respects to Naomi.

Soft traditional music began flowing gently from one corner of the room. The aroma of warm tea, faint incense, and expensive dishes filled the vast underground hall. The alliance members who had once stood rigidly under pressure were now moving around more casually, conversing with one another or gathering near the banquet tables.

But strangely enough, that was exactly when Naomi started feeling overwhelmed.

“Miss Chen, this is a small gift from the Luo family.”

“Please accept it as a token of our respect.”

“This tea has been preserved for nearly twenty years. Our family head insisted it be given to you personally.”

One person after another approached her.

And oddly, every single one of them looked genuinely enthusiastic.

Naomi barely had time to set down one gift box before another was placed into her hands again. There were expensive carved wooden boxes, jade bracelets, antique paintings, even ownership documents for a luxury restaurant that nearly made Naomi choke when she read them.

“I can’t accept this,” she said nervously.

“Of course you can.”

“It would honor us.’

“The Chen family deserves to reclaim what belongs to them.”

Naomi’s smile slowly turned stiff.

Just a short while ago, everyone had been staring at her with suspicion and pressure.

Now… they were treating her like a princess who had finally returned after years of exile.

Her eyes darted around quickly, searching for someone who could rescue her from this situation.

On the other side of the hall, Lydia appeared to be chatting quite comfortably with several women from one of the major families. Every now and then, Cale’s wife let out a soft laugh while still maintaining the elegant composure that somehow made everyone feel at ease around her.

And Cale.

The man stood together with several alliance leaders, his cold aura still making him difficult to approach. His expression remained as unreadable as ever, yet everyone around him clearly treated him with immense respect.

Naomi immediately glanced in their direction like someone silently begging for help.

Unfortunately… neither of them noticed her.

“And this is my second grandson,” an older man suddenly said as he pulled a young man forward. “He’s not much older than Miss Chen.”

Naomi froze instantly.

The young man quickly lowered his head politely.

“Pleasure to meet you, Miss Chen.”

“Ah… yes… it’s nice to meet you too.’

“He graduated overseas,” the older man continued enthusiastically. “He’s currently managing the family business and still unmarried.”

Naomi immediately started feeling uneasy.

And unfortunately, her bad feeling turned out to be absolutely correct.

“My grandson is unmarried as well.”

“My nephew manages a casino in Macau.”

“My son is a doctor.”

“My grandson used to be a national athlete.”

Naomi stared at them in disbelief.

How had this conversation escalated this far?

“I…” Naomi let out a nervous little laugh. “I think we’re moving a bit too fast with this topic.”

“Not at all,” one of the older men replied casually. “The heir of the Chen family naturally deserves a worthy partner.”

“Exactly.”
