Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 203

Perhaps realizing his own words were contradictory, Julian paused and offered a dry explanation. "If you feel it's inconvenient, we don't have to go."

Elara just smiled and said breezily, "Let's go. Why wouldn't we?"

Julian's expression softened a bit, and he glanced at her. "Then why did you just..."

"It just felt a bit sudden."

Elara gave a half-truth, her face showing not a trace of displeasure. "Besides, I'm also a little worried about Melody."

"After all, Meredith never liked Melody, and Melody can sense it. There were so many people at the birthday party last time that she couldn't keep track of everything, so she ended up having a slight stress reaction right at the end."

Julian hadn't been at the birthday party, so he was entirely in the dark about what had transpired that afternoon and evening.

Hearing Elara mention this, he was stunned. "Melody had a panic reaction?"

Elara briefly explained the situation. "It might have been because Meredith's tone was too urgent. She accidentally raised her voice, and I think it scared Melody a little."

And the reason Meredith had raised her voice, desperately trying to explain herself, was entirely because of Julian.

Julian's eyes darted away guiltily. Just then, the light turned green. He tore his gaze away and hit the gas to follow the car ahead, eager to move past this incredibly uncomfortable topic.

Elara just smiled at him and didn't push the issue.

Julian seemed lost in thought for a while before driving a bit further and suddenly saying, "I'll talk to my mother and tell her to be more mindful in the future."

"What?"
