HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603

Morning light slowly slipped through the gap in the hotel curtains. Soft rays of sunlight crept across the wooden floor before settling beside the bed, which was still rumpled after a long night.

Althea opened her eyes slowly.

For a few seconds, she simply lay there without moving, letting the quiet of the morning fill the room. Outside the window, the city of SunCity had already begun to stir to life. But inside the room, everything still felt peaceful. 1

She turned her head slightly.

Her husband was still fast asleep.

He lay on his back, one hand resting near his head. His face looked far more relaxed than it ever did when he was at the office or sitting through long meetings. His breathing was steady. There were no tense lines on his forehead, none of the cold, guarded expressions he usually wore when making difficult decisions.

Althea watched him for a moment.

There was always something about seeing Daven like this that made her pause-as if all the burdens he carried every day had finally been set aside, allowing his body a few hours of true rest.

She lifted her hand and gently brushed a few strands of hair away from Daven’s forehead. The touch was light, but it was enough to make him shift slightly. His eyes opened slowly.

Blue as the ocean, his gaze settled on Althea with unmistakable warmth and love. A faint smile curved on his lips as he pulled her closer into his arms.

“Good morning,” he murmured, his voice still rough with sleep.

Althea smiled softly. “Morning.”

She shifted slightly in his embrace, finding a more comfortable position against him. In response, he pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.

“How long have you been awake?” he asked. “A while?”

“No,” Althea answered quietly. “Just now.”

Daven tilted his head, studying her face. “You were watching me again, weren’t you?”

Althea didn’t answer right away. She only smiled faintly. “Maybe.”

Daven chuckled softly before reaching for her hand.

“You should’ve woken me up.”

“I didn’t want to disturb you,” Althea said. “You looked very tired last night.”

Daven exhaled slowly. “The past few days have been exhausting.”
