Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 314

Elara dug into her bag and pulled out a pair of fuzzy pink bunny gloves, slipping them onto Melody's hands.

This time, the little girl didn't put up a fight. Eager to hold her mother's hand again, she obediently wore them and laced her small fingers through Elara's.

Julian watched the entire exchange in agonizing silence. He was no different from the random tourists in the park—a complete outsider with no right to intervene, unable to utter a single word, let alone blend into their dynamic.

Not too long ago, these small, intimate moments had been his rightful place.

Now, his role had been seamlessly replaced by another man, someone younger than him.

A strange, suffocating sensation clawed at Julian's chest.

He couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, only that it felt unbearable. Watching the four of them walk away looking like a perfect, cohesive family stung his eyes. A venomous urge to destroy that picture-perfect scene surged through him.

But what right did he have to do that?

As Elara's soon-to-be ex-husband? As Melody's biological father?

Given the explosive nature of their divorce, he had zero leverage. Elara would never tolerate his interference.

And Melody...

Julian's gaze gravitated desperately toward his daughter.

She had Elara by one hand and held her kite in the other, walking securely between Elara and Sebastian. Whatever Sebastian said to her made the little girl bounce with joy.

Realizing she was being a bit too energetic, she quickly settled down, walking properly but eagerly chatting with Elara on one side and replying to Sebastian on the other. Busy and happy, she kept pace with the adults, slowly drifting out of his sight.

It was obvious that Melody was having a wonderful time today.

She was a far cry from the anxious, desperate child who used to cry, 'When is Daddy coming home?' and 'Daddy, can you play with me?'

This Melody no longer chased after him. She no longer begged for his time.

She looked as though she had perfectly adapted to a life without him.
