The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 294

"He's been racing against time, racing against death itself. He truly didn't mean to hurt you."

"When I heard you two were having a wedding... I figured that was just another goal he wanted to check off."

"He wanted to give you a perfect wedding to make you happy."

"Do you... understand?"

...

Alaina sat frozen, completely speechless, a sharp ache twisting her heart.

Seeing her reaction, Julian spoke softly again. "Honestly, I have a very selfish motive for telling you all this. I want him to stop living the way he used to. I'm hoping you can be his salvation, the one who finally frees him from his demons."

"I can't speak for him or declare what he truly feels deep down, but I can see that he cares about you."

"Alaina, I actually want to tell you to take your time being mad at him. Take your time calming down. Don't forgive him too quickly."

"Make him slowly make it up to you. Make him coax you."

"Make him view 'making amends to Alaina' as a long-term goal that will take a lifetime to achieve."

"That way, at least for a while, I won't have to worry about him suddenly coming to say goodbye to me, telling me that he..."

Julian abruptly stopped mid-sentence, forcing a lighthearted, joking expression onto his face.

Alaina understood exactly what he meant. She lowered her eyes and managed a small smile. "Are you sure Silas is the type of person who would change his deeply ingrained habits just because he owes someone an apology? And to be completely honest, I'm not sure I'm even that important to him."

Julian stared at her intently. "Then go find out."

"Alaina, make him tell you himself exactly how important you are to him."

Alaina fell silent.

Later, she returned to the Summers Estate.
