บททั้งหมดของ SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE: บทที่ 171 - บทที่ 180

Noah POV I still feel guilty after hanging up the phone. “Why look so glum?” Brent asked. “Briana sounded upset that I broke my promise to the children.” He clapped my back. “Consider this. Briana will be happier when you pop your surprise later.” I nodded, hoping Briana would say yes.&n

Noah POVBriana walked ahead of us while the four of us walked behind her. Conspicuously, the children were behaved. They did not make a fuss or anything.“Is Hanna in her office?” Briana turned her head around to ask.I shook my head. “I don’t know,” I told her, fingers crossed.Earlier, I instructed Hanna’s boss to assign out-of-office work for her so she wouldn’t get wind of my plans. I knew that if Hanna learned about it, there was a possibility that she might spill the beans with my wife, maybe not intentionally, but I didn’t want to take a chance.I wanted everything to be perfect later when I popped the question.“I hope she’ll be here by the time we leave.” She told me and continued walking until she arrived at the entrance of the revolving restaurant.The children squealed when the maître opened the door for them.“Hello, Uncle Rio. We are here!!” They greeted the tall man at the door before they ran inside to choose a spot.Riley’s eyes started to wander as if he was looki

Briana POVThe children run to the hallway that serves as the waiting area for the elevator. They stopped before the control panel and reached the up and down button.“Are we going up or down?” Mason asked with his finger pressed on the down button while Brixx pressed the up button. While I shook my head at them, Noah, on the other hand, kept pressing his palms to his pockets. It appears as if he was searching for something.I had a hunch, and so I asked innocently.“What are you looking for?”“My key.”Impatience spread all over Noah's face. He gave up when his search yielded no result.Seeing the frustration in Noah’s expression, I discreetly nudged Riley.My son turned his head up to look at me. At first, he was slow on the uptake. He did not know why I was getting his attention.I widened my eyes at him, pointed to his dad, and gestured for him to produce the key.While Riley and I were busy communicating silently, Noah was already calling Chris.“I seemed to have lost my key.

Noah POVI watched Briana’s back, heaving a sigh of relief.It was close.At least, she did not think anything about it.The car parked in front of Briana. The driver got out, but I beat him to the door and opened it for my wife while the triplets ducked from under my arms to get in.They found their slots, and I strapped them in. “If you are tired, you can rest,” I told them, seeing that one of them was already yawning.They had a full afternoon, and I don’t think the kids will be resting anytime soon because of the party tonight.I sat down beside my wife and ordered the driver to go.“If you are tired, you can take a nap,” I told Briana and pulled her toward me.She rested her head on my chest, and I wrapped my arms around her.“You smell nice.” She commented and continued to sniff me until she found my neck. She even raised her body a little to be able to reach the crook of my neck and took a deep breath.“Briana.” I protested because her nearness was doing things to my body that

Briana POV So that was it? I could not hide the dispiritedness from my eyes, and Noah quickly pointed that out. "What is wrong, wife? You do not want to marry me?" Noah's stricken look matched the dismay in his voice. For a moment, it made me feel guilty about my reaction. The disappointment on his face mirrored my own. I shook my head to dispel any negative thoughts. Noah already declared his love for me on national television. It was more than an average woman could ask for. But somehow, it felt lacking to me. I felt cheated because the world knew his proposal before I did.  Would it make me too fussy to admit I wanted to be romanced, too? I want flowers, balloons, and the whole shebang of a proposal. Certainly not something he
