Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 79
Sophie's POVThe car filled with heavy silence. Derek’s face had gone red. He opened his mouth, then closed it again. I could see him struggling to find words. After a long moment, he spoke again, his voice lower and tighter.“I’m trying to make things right, Sophie.”I turned my head back toward the window, watching the city streets pass by. My voice was quiet but final.“It’s too late.”Derek didn’t say anything after that. The silence between us felt thick and uncomfortable, but I didn’t try to fill it. I kept my eyes on the window, my phone still warm in my hand. Every few seconds, I could feel Derek glancing at me, but I refused to look at him. My mind kept drifting back to Ares’s text. “Good girl.” Those two words kept replaying in my head, making my body feel hot and restless even while I sat next to my husband.We finally pulled up in front of the restaurant. Before the car had fully stopped, I unbuckled my seatbelt and pushed the door open. I stepped out onto the pavement wit
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 78
Sophie's POVMy heart rate sped up as I read the words. The message was short, but it carried so much weight. I could almost picture him sitting in his office right now, probably leaning back in his chair with that small, knowing smile on his face. The same smile he had given me in the car when he warned me about the consequences of thanking him again. My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment as I tried to decide what to reply. My face still felt warm, and I could feel my pulse beating a little faster in my chest.I glanced quickly at Derek beside me. He was still focused on the road ahead, one hand resting on the steering wheel, but I could feel that he was aware of me using my phone. His presence filled the car like a heavy shadow, and every few seconds I sensed his eyes flicking toward me even though he pretended not to look. I kept my expression calm and neutral, my face turned slightly toward the window so he wouldn’t see the way my cheeks were already starting to warm.I
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 77
Sophie's POV He simply walked around to the driver’s side, opened the door, and got in without saying a single word to me. He didn’t even glance in my direction. He didn’t bother to open my door or wait for me like a gentleman would. I stood beside the passenger side, my hand resting lightly on the door handle, but I didn’t move to get inside. The car remained locked from my side, and I stayed exactly where I was, standing tall with my bag in my other hand.A few long seconds passed. Derek finally glanced over and noticed I was still standing outside. He frowned, opened his door again, and stepped back out of the car. His voice carried a hint of irritation as he asked, “Why aren’t you getting in?”I looked him straight in the eyes. My voice came out calm and clear, without any shaking or hesitation.“A gentleman opens a lady’s door.”Derek froze for a second. He stared at me with genuine shock and disbelief written all over his face. It was as if he couldn’t believe the words that ha
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 76
Sophie's POVHis words were simple, but the way he said them — steady and supportive — made me feel safe and capable at the same time. I nodded slightly, my fingers moving over the keyboard again. My body was still humming with leftover heat from this morning, but sitting beside him in this formal room, feeling his calm presence and quiet encouragement, helped steady me.The meeting carried on around us. People spoke, presentations were made, and decisions were discussed. Through it all, I stayed focused on my notes while staying deeply aware of Ares beside me. The way his voice filled the room with quiet authority. The way he occasionally glanced at me with that small, private smile. The way his thigh remained close to mine under the table, a steady, warm presence that made me feel connected to him even in this professional setting.Derek continued watching us from his seat. I could feel the weight of his stare, but it didn’t bother me the way it once would have. I was too focused on
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 75
Sophie's POVWe reached the boardroom. Ares opened the heavy door and held it for me. The moment we stepped inside, every person at the long, polished table stood up. The room was large and formal, with dark wood paneling and a massive table in the center. Bright sunlight poured in through the tall windows, but the atmosphere felt thick with expectation and quiet tension.Derek was already seated on the left side of the head chair. His eyes locked onto me the second I walked in beside Ares. I could feel the heavy weight of his stare, but I didn’t shrink from it the way I used to. I kept my chin up and walked with steady steps.Ares greeted everyone with warm authority. “Thank you all for coming. Let’s get started.”He walked to the head of the table like he owned every inch of the room — which, in many ways, he did. I walked right beside him, holding my laptop and phone, trying to look professional even though my heart was racing and my body was still humming from his whispered words
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 74
Sophie's POVMy breath came faster. I could already imagine it — him locking that door, pushing me against the desk, his mouth on me while the whole floor worked just outside.Ares reached out and brushed his thumb gently over my bottom lip, the same lip he had kissed so thoroughly in the car.“I’m not going to rush you,” he said softly. “But I want you to know… I’m right here. And I’m not going anywhere. If you need me — for work, or for anything else — all you have to do is walk through that door.”He leaned in and pressed a slow, lingering kiss to my forehead, his hand resting lightly on my waist.“Now go settle in, beautiful,” he murmured. “Your first day is about to start. And I’ll be thinking about that kiss every single time I look at this door between our offices.” He gave me one last heated look, then turned and walked toward the connecting door. Before he opened it, he glanced back over his shoulder.“Try not to miss me too much,” he said with a small, wicked smile. “We hav

Sophie’s POVHe must have heard my footsteps on the path because his head turned first — just slightly — before he turned fully. And when he did, and when his eyes found me across the short remaining distance, his expression was something I had never seen on his face before.Open. Completely ungua

Sophie’s POVThat particular combination — antiseptic and recycled air and something underneath both of them that couldn't be named but that the body recognized on some deep animal level as the smell of people being unwell. I had sat inside this smell twice before. Once when my mother died. Once w
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 44
Sophie’s POVNot the way it had when Ares did it. When Ares had tucked my hair behind my ear, heat had run all the way down my body and I had forgotten how to breathe. When Derek did it now, I felt his hand, I felt that it was kind, but my heart just kept beating its normal, ordinary beat.And my

Sophie’s POVI stepped into the shower and pulled the heavy glass door closed behind me with a soft click. Steam was already starting to rise as I turned the dial all the way to hot. The water came down in a thick, pulsing rain, soaking my long hair and cascading over my shoulders, my back, and th
