The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1037:

The noise halted abruptly at the door, and in the ensuing silence, the tension and unease were palpable to all three. After a moment, Dorian finally opened the door. It seemed he had taken a long time to mentally prepare himself. He entered with a forced smile, but his gaze quickly fell on Regina, who sat calmly in a chair.

Dorian hadn’t anticipated seeing Regina there. The sight of her, still as radiant and unchanged as ever, struck him profoundly, nearly overwhelming him. He stood frozen, his face losing all expression, his eyes conveying a mix of conflict and pain as he looked at Regina.

Gathering his strength, Dorian managed to say, “Regina, you’re back.”

Regina looked at her ex, now looking rough and worn out, and felt a jumble of emotions she couldn’t put into words. She didn’t say anything, acting as if she and Dorian had never known each other.

Dorian’s gaze shifted from Regina to Alicia. It had been over six months since he last saw her. Alicia looked a little fuller, her features softer and more beautiful, indicating that she was living well after marrying Caden. Had the pain from that car accident finally gone away? He couldn’t bring himself to ask. Now, he just stood awkwardly at the door, completely out of place in the happy family scene in front of him. He felt like an outsider and didn’t deserve to be part of their world. After thirty years together, Regina knew exactly what was going through Dorian’s head.
