Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 386

Back then, when he was the one soaking in Elara's warmth, he used to take a twisted pleasure in watching her freeze other people out.

Now, he had become the very person he used to watch with cold amusement—the one he had subconsciously wanted to show off and mock.

Julian finally realized that when Elara said she was letting go, it wasn't a joke, nor was it a bluff to protect her pride.

And Melody...

What about his child?

Melody was only four. Could Elara really convince the little girl to completely erase him from her memory? To forget her own father?

Even a normal four-year-old couldn't do that, let alone a child as sensitive and deeply affected as Melody. How could she possibly...

Julian froze, his internal attempts at self-assurance suddenly hitting a brick wall.

Aside from that accidental encounter at the park, how long had it been since he'd actually seen his daughter?

They used to have a daily routine of WhatsApp video calls that lasted for years. How long had it been since that routine shattered?

Julian couldn't even remember.

There was plenty of foot traffic outside the law firm as people got off work. Gradually, pedestrians began to notice the man standing frozen on the sidewalk. Curious glances were cast his way.

Some people even assumed he was a threat, instinctively giving him a wide berth as they hurried past, avoiding eye contact.

Awkwardly, Julian lowered his hand, turned around, and walked toward his car.

He got in, buckled his seatbelt, and pulled into traffic. It wasn't until he passed the first traffic light that he remembered a crucial detail.

He had gone there to talk to Elara about actual business, but thanks to her abrupt interruption, he hadn't accomplished a single thing.

He hadn't resolved the Emotional Distress Compensation, they hadn't discussed the division of their assets, and he hadn't even brought up Melody...

Elara had told him to talk to her lawyer. But some things couldn't be settled by attorneys.

If a lawyer could give him what he wanted, he wouldn't have staked her out in the first place.

Yet it was glaringly obvious that Elara was outright refusing to communicate with him.

She had blocked his number. She probably wouldn't answer unknown calls either. Was he supposed to just keep ambushing her outside her office?
