HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1013

Lydia nodded slowly. "Because it is."

Naomi looked at her.

"Marriage will change a lot of things," Lydia continued. "But don't think you have to enter your new life without bringing the person you are now with you."

Naomi fell silent.

"I used to think that after getting married, everything would become easier too," Lydia said. "As if having someone by your side meant life would never hurt you again."

Her tone remained calm, but there was something deeper beneath it. Naomi knew Lydia was not speaking merely from theory. She had once lost her sense of security in a way that was not easily forgotten.

"It turns out it doesn't," Lydia continued. "Marriage doesn't make problems disappear. It doesn't make us immune to fear. Sometimes, the person we love the most can even be the person who makes us worry the most."

Naomi smiled faintly. "Then what makes it all worth going through?"

Lydia looked at her for a long moment before answering. "Having someone who stays with us."

The answer was simple, but it immediately touched something inside Naomi.

"When everything is going well, it's easy to say that we'll always be together," Lydia continued. "But when problems come, when one of you is angry, hurt, disappointed, or even doesn't know what to do... that's when you'll know whether someone truly chooses you."

Naomi looked at her hands. "Is Chris like that?"

Lydia smiled. "What do you think?"

Naomi was silent for a few moments before finally nodding. "Yes."

She remembered how Chris had never forced her to forget the past. How he had always given her the chance to decide her own steps. Even when he proposed to her, Chris had never made her feel that she had to accept simply because everyone already knew about their relationship.

"I think I already know the answer," Naomi said softly.

"Then don't be too afraid of tomorrow."

Naomi turned to her.

"Tomorrow, you aren't walking toward a perfect life," Lydia said. "You're simply walking toward someone who has already chosen to be by your side. And you've chosen him too."
