All Chapters of Ex Husband's Regret ~ Now He Wants Me Back? : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 22.Danielle's POVI fluttered my eyes open to the streak of morning sunlight, and the curtains that danced in tune with the wind were what caught my eyes first; they were different from yesterday's.I turned around, feeling a gnawing feeling bite at my insides at the sight of who was beside me.I blinked my eyes again, and took another look at him. Recognition was starting to come to me.I quickly looked at my body, hoping that he hadn't done anything funny. I had spent the night at a business partner's. To make things worse, he once processed affection for me. I shook my head in a desperate attempt to recollect what happened yesterday, from being drunk...to passing out. I couldn't remember the rest, but I was assured that he didn't do the thought playing through my mind because I didn't feel any different. I yanked off the bed sheets from my body, stepping down from the bed as slowly as I could. I wanted to sneak down stairs and head home. "Why the fuck do I have to sneak

Danielle's POV.I got back to the house to see Cindy in the living room with a young guy who I assumed was just about her age. He was tall and handsome, he had beautiful green eyes and short black hair. I guessed he was British because his accent was classy. "To be honest, Cindy." He continued speaking, probably oblivious to my presence. "You're very hospitable. And I enjoyed my time with you last night, I'd love to spend more time but I have so much to do today. So, l will take my leave now."I walked past them slowly, hoping that I wasn't interrupting anything. "Welcome," Cindy said. "Thank you!" I quickly made it to my bedroom. I then slammed the door shut behind me. I knew she probably planned to introduce us to each other, but I didn't want to have a conversation with the guy, for reasons I couldn't tell. Probably because I still had a hangover from the long night Fred and I shared.I lay down, reading a book that I had been trying to get through for some days now. It was a slow

Jayden's POVShe was having dinner with Fred. I scoffed inwardly. I wondered what she was thinking. Did she think she was going to be with this man in all sincerity?I caught my wandering thoughts and I forced a small smile on my face as I said hello to them. "I came to pick up the photograph of mom. I know Cindy has it and I'm getting another copy," I said. Danielle nodded. Lord, she looked beautiful. As always. I chide myself for having such thoughts. She was beautiful, right, but I could not let myself settle with the thought for long. That would be getting ready to hurt myself. "You can have a seat and I'll serve you dinner too. I made enough for everyone," she offered.I watched as Cindy took her seat at the table, not exactly excited. I shook my head, not ready to be faced by any form of awkwardness."I'm fine, Danielle. Thank you. I'll just pick up the picture." I sounded a little too curt but I didn't even mind anymore. My balled fists stayed in my pocket as I

Danielle's POV.Cindy and I walked outside the house. "You asked me to come with you. What is this about?""There." Cindy pointed to a lady approaching us. She had a scarf tied over her hair and a big dress that couldn't let me decide if she was fat or just covering her skinny self."Hi, Danielle." She approached me anxiously. "Do you remember me?"I looked closely at her, trying to recall. "Not quite. But I know that I've seen you before. Can you help me?""Yes. I'm Katherine's babysitter.""Oh!" Recognition flashed in my eyes. I turned to look at Cindy who stood watching the both of us. "Why did you call me out? You sounded like you had really exciting news.""She said she needs to speak with you about something.""Alright, dear. Go on. I'm listening." I wasn't in the mood to hear anything about Katherine, but I gave her my audience regardless. "Shouldn't she come inside?"I looked at Cindy and shrugged, "I guess she can. Would you spend time with us?""No, ma'am. I don't have a lo

Danielle's POV"I want to visit Jayden today," I said, glancing at Cindy as we drove down the familiar road. I was behind the wheel, while she sat next to me, texting and smiling—probably chatting with her British boyfriend."Oh, you miss him?" She teased, a smirk creeping onto her face."Not one bit," I rolled my eyes. "I forgot some important papers at his place." Jayden was the last thing on my mind. All I could think of were the words of the nanny."All your documents?" she asked, her brow raised in surprise."Not all. Just one set. And they’re crucial for my new business. I’ll grab it and leave. Shouldn't take more than ten minutes."A few minutes later, we arrived at Jayden's place, only to be halted at the gate."Please wait, ma'am. Let me confirm if Mr. Jayden wishes to see you," the gatekeeper said."I'm Danielle," I pointed out, trying to hide my impatience."I know who you are, ma'am. You're his ex-wife."The words stung more than they should have. I swallowed hard. "Yes, I
