HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 591

Daven laughed softly. “I was persuading you.”

“Very stubborn persuasion.”

“Do you regret coming?”

Althea turned her gaze toward the window, then smiled.

“Not at all.”

A brief silence settled between them.

“The restaurant isn’t far from the office,” Daven continued. “I think you’ll like it.”

His tone sounded lighter than usual. And Althea realized something—after a day filled with tension, this simple conversation felt like the first full breath she had been able to take all day.

“I hope so.” Althea smiled warmly, already looking forward to arriving at the place Daven had chosen.

“Then I’ll see you there.”

They ended the call, and not long afterward the car carrying Althea came to a stop in front of a small café on a corner not far from the Callister Group office building.

For a moment, Althea remained seated, her eyes drifting toward the tall building where her husband worked.

A flood of old memories suddenly surfaced.

The one that lingered most vividly was the day she had come here carrying lunch for him. At the time, Althea had thought she’d chosen the wrong moment—but then again… when else would she ever find the time to fulfill that ridiculous request of his?

Thinking back on it now, Althea could only laugh quietly to herself.

Fate had once separated them for reasons she couldn’t deny. Love could never be forced.

And yet fate had also brought them back together—at a moment when they both finally understood that love had a way of reaching the deepest parts of the heart in ways neither of them had expected.

“Ma’am, we’ve arrived,” the driver informed her as the car came to a gentle stop right in front of the restaurant entrance.

The place wasn’t crowded at all—if anything, it felt far more peaceful than the large restaurants usually chosen for business meetings or the kind of venues meant to reflect the social standing her husband possessed.

The moment the car door opened, Althea saw Daven standing near the café terrace.

His suit jacket was gone, leaving only a black shirt with the sleeves rolled neatly to his elbows. He looked far more relaxed than usual. As soon as he saw her step out of the car, his expression brightened instantly. He walked toward her with an unmistakable smile and held out his hand so she could take it.

“Good thing I arrived first,” he said. “That way you didn’t have to wait.”

“Even if I had,” Althea replied, accepting his hand and squeezing it gently, “I wouldn’t have minded. I’m sure my husband has many things to take care of before rushing to meet me.”
