Too Late To Love Me I Already Left With His Twins (Lydia and Dave) novel Chapter 309

Lydia POV

Dave remained quiet, listening.

“And then there’s the house,” I continued. “Are we moving somewhere else? Are we staying here? Are we actually living together? Because apparently these are things I should have thought about before deciding I want to spend the rest of my life with someone.”

He gave me a small smile at that last part, but he didn’t interrupt.

I narrowed my eyes. “Don’t smile. I’m being serious.”

“I’m listening.”

I waited.

He leaned back slightly, his fingers loosely intertwined in front of him. For the first time since I started talking, his expression became thoughtful.

“Honestly?” he said.

“Honestly.”

“I haven’t really thought that far ahead.”

I blinked.

“Really?”

He nodded. “Not properly. I’ve thought about it in passing, obviously. But I haven’t sat down and planned everything out.”

His gaze moved briefly around the room, almost as if he were seeing our current life from a different angle.

“About the house, I don’t think we need to rush into moving.”

I nodded slowly.

“The kids are used to this place. This is their environment. Their school, their routines, their friends, everything is already built around here. I don’t want to uproot them just because our relationship has changed.”

That made sense.

“I don’t want to ruin something that’s already working for them,” he continued. “If we eventually find somewhere that’s better for everyone, then sure. But I’m not moving simply because we’re together again.”

I felt something inside me loosen.

“And your business?”

He shrugged slightly. “I’ll travel.”

I stared at him.

“That’s it?”

He chuckled. “That’s it.”

“You make everything sound so easy.”

“It’s not easy. It’s just manageable.”

He shifted closer.

“The plan would be for me to go back to my home country at least once a month, probably for about a week. I can handle everything else from here. We already have a new branch here, remember? I don’t need to physically be there every day for the business to function.”

I stared at him for a few seconds.

Then I exhaled.

“Oh my God.”

Dave raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“I was worrying for no reason.”

His smile grew.

“I was sitting there thinking we were barely going to see each other. I was already imagining you constantly flying back and forth, me getting annoyed, you getting annoyed, the kids wondering where you were, and then somehow we’d end up having another issue because we weren’t spending enough time together.”

I laughed at myself.

“Look at us.”

Dave’s expression softened.

“Look at us,” I repeated, shaking my head. “We haven’t even had the problem yet and I’ve already solved it in my head.”

“That’s very you.”

“Shut up.”

He smiled.

I looked at him again, and suddenly the ridiculousness of everything hit me. Yesterday, I had been worried about how we were going to make this work. This morning, I was standing in front of the man I had spent so much time being confused about, and somehow the answers weren’t nearly as complicated as I’d convinced myself they would be.
