Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0377

Fuck! Why me? Why now? Why today, of all days? Fate has already established that she hates me, but this is too much even for that bitch. Why the hell did she loathe me so much?

To be honest, I'm afraid of looking up. Afraid of looking at both Gabriel and Lilly. I try my best to calm down my erratic, beating heart, but it's no use. I felt like I was going to have a damn heart attack. I could literally feel the sweat running down my back.

My anger at Gabriel was already gone, and in its place was pure, undiluted fear. When I woke up, I never imagined that this would happen. That Gabriel would suddenly come to my house out of the blue. That he and Lilly would meet.

At first, I was careful because I knew Lilly was asleep due to her cold, but after what Gabriel revealed, I completely forgot and blew up. That was my fucking fault. I didn't have anyone to blame for this cluster fuck.

"Mom?" her sweet voice calls me, and I look up, unable to deny my daughter.

Looking at her, I'm unable to form a sentence.

When I don't answer, she turns to Gabriel and asks, "Who are you, and why are you fighting with my mom?"

Their eyes clash and I see my Lilly take a step back as if something has just rammed into her. That pulls me out of a trance.

"Lilly, go to your room," I say unsteadily, and she turns when she hears my voice.

I can see the questions running through her mind. She was a sharp girl, and I know there is no escaping the curiosity that she's sure to hit me with.
