HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1012

"I’m serious."

The tone of Cale’s voice made Chris calm down again.

"I’ve seen Naomi go through a lot. I know what she’s afraid of. I also know how hard she tries to look fine when she’s actually hurting."

Chris did not interrupt.

"I will not ask you to promise that her life with you will always be easy," Cale continued. "You cannot promise that. Marriage does not work that way."

Chris nodded slowly.

"There will be problems. There will be arguments. There will be days when you disappoint each other." Cale paused for a moment. "There is only one thing I want to make sure of."

"What?"

"When days like that come, do not be the first one to walk away."

Those words left Chris silent.

Cale looked at him without a threatening expression. There was no tone of a man warning the future husband of a girl he considered like his own sister. More than that, Chris was also his biological younger brother. His youngest brother, whom he had never expected to take such a serious step this soon.

Cale knew the day Chris would become serious about his life would come, but he had not expected it to be this soon.

And that was why Cale gave Chris this advice, so that he could become even more responsible without a single doubt.

"Naomi does not need someone who promises her a perfect life," Cale said. "She only needs someone who will continue choosing her when everything is no longer easy."

Chris lowered his head for a moment. The advice felt simple, but perhaps because of that, the words stayed with him. "I understand."

Cale nodded.

"And I will," Chris replied without hesitation.

Cale looked at him for a few seconds before finally smiling faintly. "Good."

Chris smiled as well. "That's it?"

"What were you expecting?"

"I don't know. Maybe a little threat."
