บททั้งหมดของ When My Husband Regretted : บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

_________________...It had been a week since Gabby and Eric left. I still lived at Eric's apartment though I did not know why. I basically spent most of my awake hours with Rory and our daughter. I wanted to ask her if I could move into Gabby's room. But I did not want to push her this time. I mean, yes, I did want to push her, woo her, make her mine again. But I did not want to do any of this without her consent. And full consent at that. I had come to the realization that because Rory loved me, I always ended up confusing her. I confused her and played her feelings into getting what I wanted from her. It was what I had been doing. I was not proud of it but I had realized that the first step to redemption and fixing all that went wrong because of me was to admit to my wrongdoings and manipulations. So yeah, we were not going to do any of that this time. I will woo her but like how any man would woo his woman. I was not going to use our past relationship or our daughter to

___________________...I came back to my office in the jolliest mood in the longest time. We were making headway. At least Rory and I had gone from no contact to nickname basis again. I was not going to be greedy and ask for more than I deserved. I took out my phone to see if I had missed any important messages while I was with the most important person in my life. There was a message from Zoe. Messages. Fifty-three pictures from Ki's half-birthday party. I smiled as I went through them carefully, not wanting to miss the tiniest details. I grimaced at the pictures with Derek in it and grinned at the ones that featured my three-person family. I finally decided on a picture where Rory and I were holding our precious world in our arms as we kissed her cheeks. Ki, of course, was grimacing but that just made the picture all the more adorable. I set it as my phone wallpaper, letting out a sigh of contentment as I leaned back on my chair. "Everything's going to be okay now," I told

__________________..."Goodnight princess," I murmured as I kissed the top of my baby's head."She slept throughout the day." Rory sighed. "There's a high chance she won't sleep through the night."I nodded, my heart squeezing at the sight of our six-month-old daughter, Ki, nestled in her crib. Her little chest rose and fell with the steady rhythm of deep slumber.She had a frown on her face. As if she was weighed down by the pains of the world."It's okay," I said, patting his shoulder. "You've got this."I wanted to ask her if I could stay here tonight. But that would be crossing the line. I had promised myself that I would take things slow."You know," I started tentatively, "if you ever need me, I'm just a phone call away."Rory looked up, a glimmer of something unreadable in her eyes. "Thanks, but I've got it."I nodded, trying to swallow the lump in my throat."Okay, well, I'll be here tomorrow." I forced a smile. "We can go to the park before meeting with the bodyguard candi

______________...I caved.It was probably the dumbest idea on the planet but my stupid heart said, fuck it.So there we were, in the dimly lit bedroom, three days after he had made the offer, legs tangled together as we breathed heavily after our mutual release."I shouldn't have done this." I murmured, pushing his chest gently.Rowan's eyes searched mine in the moonlit room. "You didn't seem to mind a few minutes ago." He said with a smug smile.I smacked his chest. "Shut up."Rowan chuckled, the sound low and sexy in the quiet of the night. He leaned in closer, his breath warm against my skin. "I missed this, Rory."My heart skipped a beat. I knew I was playing with fire, but the flame was just too tempting to ignore. "It doesn't change anything between us, okay?" I whispered, already feeling the weight of our actions pressing down on me.Rowan nodded, his expression serious. "I know." He leaned in and kissed my forehead gently."This is purely sexual. Do not complicate it with

__________________________..."I have a bad feeling about this!" Jake murmured as I tried Rory's number for the nth time."I'm going to the park. Something's off." I told him, my heart racing."Let's go together," Jake offered, his eyes sharp.I nodded, and we sprinted down the escalator of the mall. We had been looking for Ki and Mary here."What if they are not there?" I panted, my legs burning from the run."Then we widen the search," Jake said grimly.We dashed out of the mall into the blinding sunlight, our eyes scanning the bustling street. The park was only a few minutes away, and the tension grew with every second that ticked by."What could have happened?" I whispered to myself, fear for Ki gnawing at my insides. Now Rory was also not picking up the phone.I had a bad feeling about all of this.The park was eerily quiet, not a soul in sight.We reached the parking lot. Something glinting on the ground caught my sight.A phone.Rory's phone.My heart sank. "Jake, look." I p
