Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 190 – Not Accidental Anymore
Brandon’s POVWe stepped out of the shop with the gift bags between us, the soft rustle of tissue paper sounding far louder than it should have.That was supposed to be it.I should suggest something else, I told myself. Anything. Coffee. A walk. Another store. Because if this ended here—if the highlight of our time together was shopping for someone else’s wedding—that would be… pathetic.Natalie shifted the bag in her hand and looked at me. “So,” she said lightly, “where do we go now?”My heart kicked hard against my ribs.She wants to stay, I thought. She’s asking.“I—” I started, then stopped, scanning the mall like answers might be posted on the walls.And that was when I saw it.A new storefront we definitely hadn’t passed earlier—bright signage, splashes of color across the glass, people inside zipped into plastic coveralls, laughing as paint flew in every direction.Natalie followed my gaze. Slowed.She studied it for a long moment, expression thoughtful rather than impulsive.
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 189 – One Day Wasn’t Enough
Emma’s POVBy the fourth day back, I had convinced myself of the story.That Maldives had been a pause in real life. A pocket of unreality where sunsets were too perfect and feelings came too fast. That whatever Lucas and I shared had dissolved somewhere between the flight home and his silence afterward.No calls. No explanations. Not even polite good-morning messages. Well, what did I expect? This had happened before that first time we slept together. And the second time too. I groaned. When will I ever learn? This guy doesn’t take any woman seriously. So that morning, when I stepped out of my apartment and headed toward the small café downstairs—the one I stopped by almost every day for coffee and something warm—I was already braced for the usual.It’s over, I was telling myself. Just like a dream. Disappointment has a routine. I’d learned it well.So just imagine my shock when I saw him there! Lucas was standing just outside the café, hands shoved into his pockets, shoulders te

Natalie’s POVI said yes.Not smoothly. Not thoughtfully. Just—yes, tumbling out of me before my brain could catch up and overanalyze it to death.Brandon froze for half a second, like he hadn’t expected the universe to cooperate. Then his smile broke wide and unguarded, the kind that made his eyes crinkle, the kind that didn’t belong to the composed CEO I knew at work.He also turned visibly red.Like—actually red. Ears, neck, all of it.“Okay,” he said, nodding once. “Great. That’s—great.”I laughed, because he looked both triumphant and mildly traumatized, standing there with a bruised ego and a shoe that had almost betrayed him completely.We started walking without any real direction, the mall stretching out around us in polished floors and passing conversations. After a few steps, he reached over and wordlessly took the kettle box from my arms.“You don’t have to—” I started.“I insist,” he said. I snorted. “The old one died heroically. In a cloud of steam. So I got a new one t
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 187 – Sliding Into Her Heart
Brandon’s POVI saw them before I meant to.The ice cream shop was all glass and bright colors, the kind of place that made everything inside look lighter than it really was. Natalie sat across Dylan, leaning toward him, laughing easily. Not the polite kind. The real kind—the one that reached her eyes.My steps slowed.It shouldn’t have bothered me. Dylan was a good friend and colleague of Natalie’s. Safe and rational. That was all. If there was anyone I shouldn’t feel threatened by, it was him.And yet my chest tightened anyway.They sat close, not touching, but close enough that it looked practiced. Familiar. Like a habit they’d never bothered to unlearn. Dylan said something I couldn’t hear, and Natalie shook her head, smiling as she nudged his arm with her elbow.That small, casual gesture shouldn’t have bothered me. But it really did. I told myself to keep walking. I told myself this was none of my business, that staring made me pathetic. Still, I stopped a few steps away and pr

Natalie’s POVThe kettle didn’t even die quietly. It gave one last pathetic wheeze, coughed out a cloud of steam, and promptly shorted the outlet.I stared at it for a long moment before muttering, “Drama queen.”Which was how I ended up at the mall on a weekday morning, hunting for a new kettle like a perfectly ordinary person with perfectly ordinary domestic problems. The normalcy of it was… soothing. After the past few weeks, I welcomed anything that didn’t require strategy, negotiations, or emotional restraint.I found myself lingering longer than necessary in the appliance store, comparing kettles I would absolutely overthink for the next ten minutes, before finally picking one that looked sturdy and unpretentious. Practical. Dependable. I approved.On my way out, I passed a high-end gift store and slowed, suddenly remembering Arthur’s upcoming wedding. I stepped inside and checked the nearest items on display. A sales associate approached with a knowing smile. “Shopping for so

Natalie’s POV“Actually… I’ve been dating,” Dylan said casually, like he was commenting on the weather.I blinked. Once. Twice.Emma nearly choked on her drink. “Excuse me—what?”Dylan lifted a shoulder in a careless shrug, a faint smile tugging at his mouth. “Dating. You know. Seeing people. Nothing serious.”The words hit me with an unexpected rush of… relief? No—more than that. Genuine happiness for my friend. “That’s great,” I said automatically, and realized I meant it.Emma, however, was already leaning forward, eyes alight. “You do not get to drop that bomb and then skate past it. Pictures. Now.”Dylan laughed. “Absolutely not.”“Oh, don’t even try,” she shot back. “You’ve seen every questionable man I’ve ever dated. This is only fair.”“I object to the word questionable,” Dylan said, pulling out his phone anyway. “Some of them were objectively terrible.”“You loved them,” Emma replied sweetly.“Temporary insanity,” he muttered.He scrolled for a second, then turned the screen
