Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 278

Elara snapped out of her daze and walked over.

"Yeah."

She hummed softly, stepping up to the sofa. Glancing at the animated chaos on the screen, she raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you actually following this?"

Smiling, he rested his hand gently on Melody's head. "She gave me a full rundown of the lore. I'm fully invested."

Thrilled by the praise, Melody's eyes crinkled into happy little crescents. "I explained it perfectly!"

"Great job."

Elara leaned in and smoothed her daughter's hair. "You're getting so smart."

Melody giggled.

After chatting with her for a moment, Elara looked back at him. "Should we head out?"

"Let's go."

He tried to stand, but felt a sharp tug on his jacket. Looking down, he saw Melody clinging desperately to the fabric.

"Melody?"

Caught in the act, she ducked her head, avoiding his inquisitive gaze, but her tiny fist refused to let go.

It was painfully obvious she didn't want him to leave.

His heart melted. He was halfway to deciding he would just sleep on their couch, when Elara intervened.

"Melody, he just flew back into the country. He didn't sleep at all last night, so he needs to go home and rest."

Walking around the sofa, Elara knelt beside her daughter and spoke with infinite patience. "Do you like having him around?"

Melody peeked at Sebastian and nodded fiercely.

"Then how about we call him to play on his next day off?" Elara bargained.
