After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 689

Edward’s deep voice murmured in my ear, and my heart pounded uncontrollably.

Once a guy figures out how to act soft and vulnerable, a woman’s defenses don’t stand a chance.

No, no, no, I had to keep my head clear. I couldn’t let one line from Edward turn me into some kind of saint, giving him all my love for nothing.

“Edward, I’m sorry for leaving so suddenly tonight,” I said, steering the conversation away.

After a few drinks, I realized I just wasn’t myself tonight.

How could I let myself get all jealous just because he still cares about his ex–wife?

Edward let go of me and gazed down at me.

I smiled, biting my lip. “You picked out such a gorgeous dress for me, and then I just walked out halfway through. That was pretty rude of me.”

Being polite was just another way to turn someone down, and sometimes, silence said it all.

Edward, sly as ever, shot me a look that could see right through me.

“Alright, I’m not mad at you,” Edward said, his voice softening. “Will you come home with me tonight?”

I shook my head. “I want to stay here tonight.”
