Cold husband burning regret

Regret Novel 148

“We should get divorced. I want to set you free.”

Those words echoed in Evander’s mind as he stood there, his expression icy and unreadable.

“Grandmother already agreed,” Charlotte said, pulling her hand from his grasp once more. “She told me she wouldn’t interfere with our divorce.”

The moment she broke free, Evander’s tightly restrained emotions snapped. He swept her back into his arms, backing her up against the glass door in two brisk

strides.

He reached up and slipped the band from her hair, letting the dark, seaweed–like waves tumble down in disarray, strands wrapping around his forearm.

Charlotte’s pupils contracted; she could sense what he’d do next and turned her face away, dodging his kiss.

He paused, then caught her cheek in his palm and forced her to meet his gaze, kissing her fiercely.

kiss.

The more she struggled, the more relentless he became, until she gave in and surrendered, defeated.

Evander finally broke away, his fingertips tracing the heated flush on her face–a shade made more striking by her breathlessness.
