Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Regret, His Ex-Wife’s Revenge: Bab 21 - Bab 26

Chapter 21 Sophie Clarke •••It was 3 p.m. the following day already, we agreed to have dinner that day but I wasn’t feeling up to it. I was having second thoughts. I wanted to come up with some excuse and say I had to leave but he knew I wasn’t leaving for two days. Maybe I could say I had an urgent meeting to attend to in California or my daughter was sick. I was the one who came up with the thought of having dinner again, so I couldn’t back out. I just had to go even though I felt like it was a mistake. He said he was going to pick me up. Well, that seemed too serious. I could use a cab but he refused. He was going to arrive by 6 p.m. so I started getting ready. Because I knew myself, I would take the whole time to get ready. Especially to decide on an outfit. He arrived at the hotel and called me. I walked out of the lobby, and he was parked right by the entrance and leaning against the car.

Chapter 25Alexander Cole •••I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I had a daughter all along. I was restless as fuck. I was pissed, not at Sophie, but at myself. I was even more pissed at the fact that Ethan knew about my child and not me. Hearing it from him destroyed something inside me.I kept replaying the scene from five years ago when I chased her out, when I refused to believe her, treated her like shit, wishing I could undo it all. I was pacing aimlessly around the house, I couldn’t keep calm. I mean, no one would be able to rest after finding out about a child. I’ve always wanted children.
