Cold husband burning regret

Regret Novel 240

The Capital

After being forced out of Tranquility Manor, Tricia had no choice but to squeeze herself into an old, rundown apartment complex. To make matters worse, even Jonathan’s number was unreachable at this critical moment.

Evander knew everything that had happened to her, yet didn’t go out of his way to help. It was proof that being his “savior” still counted for something.

She had, after all, known Evander for ten years.

He wasn’t as cold and heartless as everyone believed.

Still, watching her life unravel like this–her son recovering in the lap of luxury while she could barely keep the lights on–left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Now she couldn’t even see Hans. If he opened his mouth and accused her of being the source of his injuries, she could lose custody altogether.

Gnawing at her thumbnail, Tricia wondered: Was she really supposed to crawl back to that lunatic?
