Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 106 A note

immediately, I just stay in bed for a while as I rub my belly and feel my baby move inside me.

but right now I am hungry. With everything that happened yesterday, I forgot to eat.

him kiss me or that I actually enjoyed it.

It bugs me so much that I wanted more. I wanted him to deepen the kiss. I wanted him to take it

further. I can blame it on the hormones, but we all know that I’d be lying to myself.

bit. I promised myself to move on, yet there I was making out with him in my living room.
