HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 600

Chapter 600

Cale’s words left Lydia silent for several seconds.

Her hand, which had still been gently massaging his temple, slowly stopped. She allowed him to sit back up beside her. Even then, Cale didn’t look away from her, as though there was something he needed to

make clear.

She stared at him-now fully awake-with an expression of disbelief.

“Cale.”

“Hmm.”

“Are you serious about what you just said?”

Cale looked at her with calmness that felt almost unreasonable for someone who had just proposed something so significant. “I never joke about things like that.”

Lydia let out a long breath. She leaned back against the sofa, her gaze drifting to the ceiling.

“You’re forgetting one very important part, you know.”

“Proposing to you?”

Lydia nodded without turning toward him.

“Wasn’t what I just said technically a proposal?”

Lydia clicked her tongue in annoyance. “You didn’t even propose properly.”

Cale raised an eyebrow. “Is that important?”

“For some people, yes.”

Cale reached out and touched Lydia’s cheek gently. “I’m asking your opinion. Is it important to you?”

Lydia pouted slightly.

Cale gave a faint smile before standing up and offering his hand to her.

“Let’s have lunch first,” he said. “It’s already very late. Is there anything you’d like to eat while it’s still warm?”

“No.” Lydia sighed. At first, she intended to ignore his outstretched hand in protest, but… “Fine. You’re right. We should eat first.”

Cale smiled more broadly and clasped Lydia’s hand firmly.

“So now you care about rings and flowers?” he asked.

Lydia let out a quiet snort. “Not really. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to be appreciated.”

“I appreciate you.”

“By ordering me to marry you in a month?” Lydia asked dryly.

“I didn’t order you.”

“You almost sounded like you did.”

Cale studied her for a moment before speaking again, his voice quieter this time.

“I just said what I was thinking.”

He released her hand and pulled out one of the chairs at the dining table, gesturing for Lydia to sit comfortably.

Lydia didn’t say anything as she accepted the gesture. She knew Cale was simply like this.

He wasn’t romantic in the way most men were. There were no flowers, no overly sweet words, no

dramatic gestures.

Cale always went straight to the point.

And yet… he always paid attention to everything about Lydia. From the smallest details to things she sometimes overlooked.

Strangely enough, Lydia had grown used to it.

“Why one month?” Lydia finally asked.

Cale took the seat across from her. “Because two years is long enough to be certain about something.”

“About what?”

“That I don’t want to let you leave

leave my side.”

Lydia held his gaze for a long moment. “You’ve never said anything like that before.”

“I didn’t need to.”

“Why now?”

Cale tilted his head slightly. “Because today I had the time to say it.”

Lydia let out a soft laugh. “You really are strange.”

“And yet you’re still with me, aren’t you?”

“That’s not a defense,” Lydia said, shaking her head in disbelief.

“For me, it’s enough.”

Lydia truly didn’t know what to make of the things Cale said. The man simply called the waiter over and
