Cold husband burning regret

Regret Novel 215

Charlotte froze, stunned by the tenderness in Evander’s gesture. She’d never imagined he was capable of something so gentle–especially not toward her.

She quickly collected herself and turned away. “When did I ever say I wanted to go to Lake Zurich?”

Evander looked at her. “The first time you mentioned a honeymoon.”

It was just two months after she’d married him.

The memory flickered back to Charlotte. Back then, she was newly his wife, and she’d dreamed of a real honeymoon together.

She’d picked out the perfect place–Lake Zurich in Switzerland. She pictured the two of them sailing across the romantic little towns, hand in hand as they wandered along cobblestone medieval streets, picnicking by the water, soaking in the sun. She’d imagined them touring vineyards, making wine together, and visiting the

world–famous Rhine Falls.

The memory stung, and she felt a prickle at the tip of her nose.

But it wasn’t his words that moved her. It was remembering how small and desperate she used to be, always trying to please someone who didn’t care. That was what hurt.
