Lahat ng Kabanata ng HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

KRISTINE'S POV Shock was definitely an understatement as my daughter's enthusiastic voice sunk into my ears. It felt like my eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets when I saw them at my door. What the actual fuck? My heart slammed in my chest as I darted my eyes between them in utter confusion. And did I just hear Mia refer to Sebastian as Daddy? In front of Dave? How was that even possible? How was she calling him Daddy? How did she know he was her dad? Mia barely knew Sebastian—she had only met him once and that was during my brand launch. So how the hell was she calling him Daddy now? Had something happened between them that I wasn’t aware of? My mind swirled with tumultuous thoughts and just for a moment, my surroundings faded to a blur. Until his voice pulled me. "Hello, mi vida," Sebastian’s sultry, taunting voice broke through my thoughts, yanking me back to reality. I stiffened, my heart racing as I caught the tease in his tone. He clearly didn’t care that I was w

SEBASTIAN'S POV My emotions surged with anger when I unexpectedly walked in on Kristine and Dave in her office. I could clearly see the faint blush on her cheeks until she looked up and noticed I had just returned from picking our daughter up from school. I observed her momentary paralysis, her eyes widening in disbelief at my presence. It was undoubtedly a surprise for her; she likely thought I had vanished for good since I hadn’t been around for almost two weeks. That was indeed my intention—I had been busy visiting Mia at school in an effort to build my connection with her, to persuade her that I was her father to make the surprise more interesting for Kristine and her boyfriend. How did I discover she was my daughter? It was just a few days after that unexpected night, I learned that Mia was my daughter. The striking resemblance between us I had noticed was almost too impossible to ignore, and I realized I needed to uncover the truth. I did my findings and realized Amelia neve

KRISTINE'S POV I walked back and forth in my apartment's living room, waiting for Dave to arrive that evening. He had promised me he would be home about an hour ago, and I had expected him to have arrived by now. Gosh, I felt sick to the stomach with anxiety. Mind you, it wasn't his tardiness that was making me uneasy; it was the need to confess what had happened at the office with Sebastian showing up unexpectedly. I was still trying to brace myself to talk about my past, something I didn't really share with anyone. But then, Dave was my boyfriend. I understood that I should have been honest with Dave sooner, but how could I have anticipated that my daughter would quickly connect with her asshole father on such short notice and without my knowledge. While I still found that process puzzling, my primary concern was my upcoming conversation with Dave. As I continued to pace about, my heart ramming in my chest, I made an effort to soothe my frayed nerves and glanced at the wall cloc

KRISTINE'S POV A wave of anxiety surged through me as I heard Dave's voice. I literally stiffened. Oh no, why was he up so early? I never took him for a morning person. But how would I know that when this was only our first sleepover. Before I could gather my thoughts, Dave had already shown up to see Sebastian at the door. I noticed their gazes locked, and I could sense the irritation and resentment emanating from Dave as he stood at the doorway, staring at Sebastian in disbelief. He was just as shocked as I was. His eyebrows knitted together in confusion, clearly taken aback to see him at my place so early in the morning. His displeasure and heartbreak was palpable. "What’s he doing here?" Dave questioned, not even looking my way as he focused solely on Sebastian. At his question, I instinctively glanced at Sebastian, whose demeanor had now shifted. He looked devastated, and it was clear that his sudden change in mood was triggered by Dave's presence. Just like Dave, Sebastian

KRISTINE'S POV "Hey," I attempted to start a conversation as the tension in the air grew unbearable. An unsettling feeling stirred within me. "Hey," Dave looked up at me. "Do you want some more toast?" I shook my head, slightly annoyed that he assumed I was calling him for food. "No, I'm fine." "Alright." He replied casually. "How about you?" I inquired, raising my eyebrows with a hint of hope. He nodded quickly. "Sure, why not?" Although he forced a smile, it was clear to me that the smile wasn't genuine. It dawned on me. I was right after all; he was indeed upset. But why? Why was he upset about it? If it was Sebastian, that's even more confusing. I thought he believed I could manage things with Sebastian, and I had, by making him leave. So what was making Dave so grumpy? Even though he was trying to hide his feelings in front of Mia, I could see through his act. I wanted to ask him what was bothering him, but I realized this wasn't the right moment. I really hated this. Thi
