All Chapters of HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The dining table at the Callister family estate was, as always, flawlessly set. The scent of toasted bread and strong black coffee mingled with the crisp morning air. At the head of the table, Daven stirred his coffee in slow, thoughtful circles. Across from him, Kate Callister ladled cream soup into her bowl with deliberate grace.“So,” Kate began, eyes fixed intently on her son, “did you have a fight with Vanessa?”Daven’s brow furrowed. “Where did that come from?”“Well, if you didn’t, why did you come home alone last night?” Her gaze never wavered. Since the couple moved out of the main house, their visits had become more infrequent—but they had always come together. Kate hadn’t minded. They were married, after all. Prioritizing work over family visits was expected. Still, last night had left her unsettled.“I attended a banquet not far from here,” Daven replied flatly

"Are you sure it's okay for me to leave Josh with you?" Althea asked, still looking anxious. This was the first time she’d had to leave her son in someone else’s care. If today weren’t her final exam supervision day, she would’ve been right by his side at the event.Josh’s school had been invited to take part in a charity event hosted by the Japanese Embassy. Some of the students from Chase’s school had even earned full scholarships for a two-year student exchange program in Japan. Today marked the highlight of the event, held at the main city hall.Josh and his classmates from kindergarten were asked to perform a children’s play. Unfortunately, Althea couldn’t be there with him—her duty as an exam proctor took priority. So she had asked Lydia, specifically and with great care, to accompany Josh instead. Chase had offered to help, but Althea politely declined. She didn’t want to burden the headmaster with extra responsibilities. With so much already on his plate, Chase needed to focus

“But are you sure you’re, okay?” Chase crouched a little, locking eyes with Josh again, needing that extra confirmation the boy’s injuries had been properly treated.“Yes, Uncle Chase,” Josh chirped, cheerful as ever. “Mr. Daven patched me up.”Chase let out a slow breath. Honestly, his heart had nearly stopped when one of the staff reported Josh missing. And when he called Lydia, she’d been in full panic mode—frantic, because Josh was nowhere to be found.“I really appreciate your help, Mr. Daven,” Chase said sincerely.“No trouble at all,” Daven replied, brushing a hand gently over Josh’s head. “I just happened to be nearby when he fell.”“Did you thank him, Josh?” Chase asked, his tone soft but firm. “We need to find your aunt and your mom. They’ve been so worried.”“Mommy’s here?” Josh’s face lit up.“Yes,” Chase replied, giving a small smile.“Then let’s go! I want to see her!” Josh was practically bouncing, nearly taking off running again before Chase reached out to stop him.“D

That morning, the cozy kitchen in Althea’s house was filled with the scent of toasted bread and scrambled eggs. The sun was still low, but Josh was already seated neatly at the table, sipping his warm chocolate milk.Althea served breakfast and took a seat across from him. Every now and then, she glanced at her son, who seemed more cheerful than usual.“Isn’t there something you’d like to tell me, Josh?” Althea asked softly, wiping away the trace of milk from the corner of his lips.“A story? What kind of story, Mom?” Josh blinked at her, puzzled.“Hmm…” Althea feigned a thoughtful look. “Like how you ended up falling yesterday. And who helped you?”Josh chewed his toast quickly, his eyes wide with excitement. “Oh! That’s because I was in a rush, Mommy. The floor near the restroom was slippery, and I slipped. Didn’t I already tell you?”“I

“This is the place?” Daven asked as he adjusted his blazer after stepping out of the car.The moment he got out, his steps paused. His eyes lingered on the pastel-colored building in front of him—the soft orange roof, sky-blue wooden fence, and whimsical murals covering the outer walls. There were drawings of a rainbow, a smiling apple tree, and tiny handprints stamped across the painted bricks.Something in him stirred. Without realizing it, the corner of Daven’s mouth lifted slightly.“I used to go to a school like this,” he murmured under his breath. “Though my kindergarten never felt this cheerful.”Just then, Arsen stepped out from the backseat, a sleek tablet in hand, detailing the full schedule for the day.“Mr. Daven, are you sure about this? The meeting with the Frankfurt investors has now been rescheduled twice. And the Osaka team—”“Cancel it. Send an
