Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 114

Daniel’s POV.

Christiana had actually let me comfort her yesterday. I could still feel the warmth of her skin against mine, the way she had let her guard down, just for a moment. It was enough to make me feel like maybe, just maybe, she was finally seeing me. Me…not the guy struggling to make it, not just some friend…me, Daniel, the man who could love her more than anyone else ever would. For the first time, it felt like Christiana was ready to let me in.

I hummed a tune as I threw on a clean shirt, looking in the mirror with a grin that hadn’t left my face since yesterday afternoon. For once, my mind was at peace, not wandering back to the what–ifs and doubts. Today, I wasn’t second–guessing everything. She had chosen me, I thought, pushing my hand through my hair and nodding at my own reflection. For once, I wasn’t the backup plan, the shoulder to cry on. I was the man she’d turned to.

The smell of freshly brewed coffee wafted down the hall, and I stepped into the kitchen where Grandma was serving breakfast, looking up in surprise as I entered with a grin.

“Well, look at you!” She laughed, eyes crinkling with a smile. “I haven’t seen you this chipper since… well, since I can remember. What’s got you in such a good mood, Danny?“.

I grabbed a mug, unable to stop smiling. “Just… things are finally looking up, Gran. Things are starting to make sense.”

“Oh, really?” She raised a brow, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. “Is that ‘thing‘ a ‘someone‘ by any chance?”

My cheeks flushed, but I nodded, unable to hide it from her. “It’s Christiana. I mean, it could be. She… she let me be there for her yesterday, and it feels like maybe, finally, she’s ready to give us a chance.””

She gave me a slow, approving nod, her smile widening. “It’s about time she saw what’s right in front of her. You’d make a wonderful partner for her, Daniel. Just don’t rush her, alright? That girl’s been through a lot.”

“Of course,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, though inside, I was ready to make my intentions clear. “I know she needs time, but I want to show her that I’m here. Not just for her, but for Ethan and Emma too. They’re already so special to me.”
