The CEO's Regret: Darling, Don’t Leave Me novel Chapter 400

Chapter 309 | Want to Be a Mom

The silence between us lasts barely a second, but it feels eternal.

“Or do you want to wait?” I add, lowering my voice slightly.

And then… I see him. His eyes open wide. As if he can’t process it, as if he didn’t expect to he that from me.

“You…?” he starts, but doesn’t finish the sentence.

And suddenly he leans in, his hands cup my face gently, urgently, and he kisses me.

A strong, passionate, real kiss. When he pulls away, his breath is a little ragged and he smiles, way that completely disarms me.

Then he hugs me tightly, as if he wants to make sure this is real.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, barely laughing, feeling his excitement.

“That…” he says against my hair, “is the best thing you could have said to me, Clara…”

He pulls back slightly, but doesn’t let go completely.

“It’s what I want most… truly.”

His eyes shine, and that… That touches me.

“I want to be a dad…” he adds, with an emotion he doesn’t try to hide, “I want…”

He lets out a small, nervous laugh.

“God… I can’t believe it.”

And I smile, because seeing him like this… makes it all feel right, that this feeling is common… that this is something real and, above all, possible.

I rest my forehead against his, and in that instant… there are no doubts, no past, nothing else.

Just us and what we can build.

The trip back goes by faster than I expected.

Between conversations, comfortable silences… and that new feeling that won’t leave me.

The feeling of being ready..

I frown slightly.

“And this…?”

I approach; the flowers are beautiful, elegant. Too perfect to have been there without my knowing.

I touch them carefully; there’s no card… nothing.

I looked everywhere, and no, there weren’t any.

“Did

you send them?” I ask, turning to Ethan. “Did you send them to me?”

He shakes his head.

“No…”

He comes closer, looking at them too.

I’m overthinking things, I’ve been doing it a lot lately.

“They’re beautiful…” I finally say, with a small smile.

And they are, so I pick them up carefully, feeling their freshness between my fingers. And walk

with them toward the house.

As I do… Something inside me feels different. Light, calm… As if a part of me, which had been

doubting… Now finds peace.
