HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1002

Chris's message was still on her phone, and the man's promise to start taking care of the wedding preparations with her once he returned to Carrington Bay made some of the burden she had been carrying for the past week slowly ease.

Lydia, who was enjoying her breakfast, immediately noticed the change. She raised her head and watched Naomi for a few seconds before smiling.

"You look different this morning."

Naomi pulled out a chair. "Different how?"

"Brighter."

"I'm just happy."

Cale, who was sitting across from Lydia, immediately glanced at her. "Did Chris message you?"

Naomi paused for a moment. "Why did you immediately mention his name?"

"Because you've been smiling to yourself."

"I'm not smiling to myself," Naomi protested. She sat down with a pout.

Lydia held back a laugh. "You are smiling."

Naomi looked between the two of them. "You two pay too much attention to other people."

Cale calmly lifted his coffee cup. "It's hard not to notice you when you look like someone who just found out she's going to receive a gift."

"I only found out that my future husband is coming home."

"So it is because of Chris."

Naomi immediately snorted. "Whatever."

Lydia chuckled at the sight of Naomi's face beginning to turn red.

There was a simple happiness in seeing the girl like this. After everything she had been through, seeing Naomi smiling so easily again made Lydia feel relieved. She knew there were still many things Naomi would have to go through before she truly became accustomed to her new life, but at least that morning, there was no heavy burden visible on her face.

"What did Chris say?" Lydia asked.

"He'll help me take care of the wedding preparations starting tomorrow."

"Good," Lydia replied. "You've been handling too much of it on your own."
