HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1098

He then remembered Natalie.

Maybe he had indeed been too silent earlier. Natalie had looked quite hurt after Eli and Josh’s words. As her best friend, David felt that he should have asked how she was doing.

He then intended to approach Natalie and invite her to celebrate Raven’s victory with the others.

However, when he walked out of the locker room, David stopped.

David did not leave immediately. He remained where he was, listening to the conversation without revealing his presence. At first, he still considered everything Natalie said to be something he already knew.

Eli had indeed been close to Josh. Eli also seemed to care deeply about Josh. Even earlier, in front of everyone, Eli herself had said that she was with Josh now. All of that should have been enough to reinforce what David had believed all this time.

But the longer he listened to Natalie’s conversation, the more he felt that something was not right. Not with what Natalie said, but with what she had never actually said.

Natalie had never mentioned a single incident that David could use as evidence. She had never said that she saw Eli cheating or directly knew what had happened between Eli and Josh. She only kept connecting one thing to another until everything sounded like a definite conclusion. Back then, David had never questioned it.

He accepted every story because it matched the hurt and disappointment he had already felt. Now, hearing it again with a slightly calmer mind, David began to realize how many parts of his belief had actually been built on assumptions.

His brow slowly furrowed. If that was the case, where had all those conclusions come from? The question left David silent for quite some time. He did not want to question it, especially after believing for so long that Eli had betrayed him.

Admitting that there might be something he did not know also meant he had to face the possibility that the decision he had considered right all this time had been made based on incomplete information.

David exhaled softly and tried to push the thought aside. But the harder he tried to ignore it, the clearer one thing that bothered him became. All this time, he had been so busy looking for reasons to justify his decision to leave Eli that he had never truly stopped to ask whether everything he had heard actually matched reality.

“David?”

The voice of one of his teammates made him come to his senses. He immediately turned.

“What?”
