All Chapters of Too Late For Regrets: No Longer Your Invisible Wife: Chapter 131 - Chapter 135

Nadia's POV. The house had gone completely quiet by midnight, Lily long since asleep in her room, the television I'd tried watching earlier now dark and forgotten across the room. I sat curled on the couch, wrapped in a blanket I'd taken from the hall closet, my phone resting in my lap, hoping it would just light up with his name already.It didn't.I kept turning the whole evening over in my head, trying to make sense of it. This wasn't like him at all. Ronan missed things sometimes, got pulled into meetings that ran long, but he always called, always texted something, even a single line letting me know he was still breathing if possible. And this wasn't just about me. Lily was upstairs asleep, completely unaware her father hadn't come home from work, and if I hadn't been here, she would have been the one calling around confused, wondering why her dad had simply vanished on an ordinary Tuesday.Already around midnight, something about the whole situation had started sitting wrong in

"She's just a little tired, that's all. She needed to go rest for a bit.""But you were gone all night," Lily said, clearly unconvinced. "She was really, really worried about you.
