The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 186

"Happy New Year, Silas," Alaina whispered.

"Happy New Year, Alaina," he replied softly. He threaded his fingers through hers, grabbed Stella's hand with his other, and led them both inside.

With his arrival, the Rossi household became instantly livelier.

Silas had come prepared with gifts.

He presented Arthur with top-tier health supplements, handed Evelyn a stunning set of jewelry, and gave Stella a massive princess dollhouse.

He had absolutely nailed every single present.

Arthur, who had been sulking about drinking alone, was instantly revived. He dragged his son-in-law to the table, pouring them both a generous glass as they dove into animated conversation.

Silas seemed far more relaxed than his last visit.

Watching from the sidelines, Alaina couldn't help but feel completely utterly stunned.

Even more shocking was that, this time, the one who ended up drunk wasn't Silas—it was her father.

Evelyn hauled Arthur off to bed while Alaina brought over a glass of warm water.

"Are you feeling sick?" she asked, handing the glass to Silas.

He downed it in one go and shook his head. "Take a walk with me."

"You've been drinking. It's freezing out there," she protested.

Ignoring her, Silas interlaced his fingers with hers, snatched up his coat, and tugged her toward the door.

Alaina pulled him back. "If you just want some fresh air, I know a better spot."

Seizing the lead, she dragged him up the narrow stairs leading to the flat roof of the house.

Two bamboo chairs sat waiting. Alaina brushed off the light dusting of snow and shoved him into one.
