Regret Novel 30

She stared at the message on her screen, hesitating before replying.

Her phone started ringing.

On the display, the contact name still read “Husband“-she’d never changed it. Seeing those letters made her lose her focus for a moment.

Evander had never reached out to her first, not in the old days.

But somewhere along the line, that changed. Now he not only messaged her, he actually called.

Charlotte answered, holding the phone to her ear. Her tone was distant, almost formal. “Mr. Howard, is there something you need?”

She heard the flick of a lighter on the other end; he must have been smoking. His voice was low, lazy, edged with impatience. “I told you to meet me at the parking garage. Didn’t you see my message?”

“Miss Winthrop is here with you. If you need something, you can ask her,” Charlotte said, ready to hang up.

He let out a short, humorless laugh. “Now that you’ve got Jonathan backing you, you’re feeling pretty bold, aren’t you?”

Her brow furrowed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means exactly what it sounds like.” Evander leaned against his car, cigarette between his fingers, absently playing with a metal lighter. “My patience isn’t endless.”

Charlotte didn’t bother replying. She ended the call.

She made her way to the underground garage, and the first thing she saw was Evander–perfectly put–together, handsome as ever.

He’d always looked impeccable. Flawless.

She used to love that face so much.
