All Chapters of MY EX HUSBAND REGRET AFTER DIVORCING ME : Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

ARIANA'S POV Morning finally broke. Soft sunlight spilled through the hotel window. I stretched and rose, making my way to the window. I pulled back the curtain and gazed outside. The sight beyond my room instantly stirred my weary eyes.'What a stunning city.'Of course. I was in Paris. The sprawling array of buildings with their elegant classic architecture, the balconies lining the apartments along the street, and the vibrant bustle below all created an energetic atmosphere. I supposed I'd grown so used to New York's rigid pace that this place truly left me in awe.I knew I'd enjoy this far more if we were here for leisure rather than trying to rescue my daughter from someone who'd tried to kidnap her.With a sigh, I made my way to the bed."Time to wake up, Miss Sleepyhead—we're heading back today. We can't miss that flight."Elena stretched her limbs. She yawned briefly, and when she spoke, her voice still carried traces of sleep. "So soon? I thought we'd be staying longer since

NATHAN'S POV "Do you honestly think it's good enough? Do you think Elena is going to like it?" I asked Evans, wanting his honest opinion.Damn it. Why was finding the right gift for Elena turning out to be so much harder than I'd anticipated? I'd assumed it would be simple enough. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized just how thoroughly Ariana had managed to provide Elena with everything she could possibly need, which meant my daughter was hardly lacking in anything at all.So whatever I chose had to be something unique, something special, something that stood apart from the rest.Something that would light up her face the moment she unwrapped it. I just wanted to see her smile again, to chase away whatever sadness still lingered in her eyes. It bothered me more than I cared to admit, seeing her upset like that—I simply couldn't stand it."Hmm, I think that might be a bit much, sir. Besides, don't we still have a few years to wait before she's even old enough to drive

NATHAN'S POV The night of my dinner with Ariana had finally arrived. I spent three hours getting ready, filled with nervous anticipation as I searched for the right words to convince her to agree to the trip.This would be a real opportunity for me to bond with my daughter and get to know her better. It was also a chance to repair what had fallen apart between Ariana and me. No, I wasn't expecting her to forgive me so easily. I only hoped she'd be a little more open to me.'Good luck trying to win her heart.'Damian's words echoed in my mind again, and a fresh wave of discouragement washed over me.I picked up my phone and decided to call Evans. He answered a moment later."How's it going, sir? How's everything shaping up?""I haven't even left yet. Do you think she'll actually give me this chance or not?""I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but—”But I genuinely needed to hear what Evans thought, since he'd been the one who witnessed Ariana's reaction when the invitation reached her

LILLIAN'S POV Today, I spent the day with Elena, and we made a great team. We woke up early and went out for a jog. Afterward, we returned home for a quick shower before spending the rest of the morning hopping from one café to another until noon. Later in the afternoon, we continued wandering around the city park.We only got back in the evening, just as Ariana was getting ready to leave for dinner with Nathan. Before she headed out, I reminded her several times to call me if she noticed even the slightest change in his behavior.I still remembered how that man used to treat her, and honestly, I wasn't comfortable with my cousin having dinner with him alone tonight. But if I went along with Ariana, who would stay behind to watch Elena? Besides, Ariana had asked me to remain home and take care of her daughter. I really had no choice."Auntie, did you just call Mommy?" Elena asked as I walked back into the TV room.I sat down beside her on the carpet. She was completely absorbed in he

LILLIAN'S POV Ariana has agreed to the trip Nathan suggested, taking Elena to Europe. It sounds like a wonderful gift, but I still can't shake the uneasy feeling inside me. I was about to ask Ariana to reconsider when I saw how excited Elena became the moment she heard about the trip.That made me pause and think. Maybe I should believe that Nathan has truly changed this time. Perhaps I need to push aside my doubts and trust Ariana completely. She's Elena's mother, after all, and she knows what is best for her daughter.We're at the city's shopping center now, picking up a few things before our departure. We were browsing through the women's and children's section when Ariana called out to me."Hey, you should pick up some sunscreen. The summer UV is pretty strong, and you'll need it when we go swimming in the sea, Lillian," she said."Huh? Why would I be going to the sea to swim?"I felt completely confused. It seemed like I had missed something."Because you're coming with us on th
