HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605

Morning at the Miller household always began quietly, yet with a sense of warmth. Just like any other morning.

The sun had barely risen when the staff began preparing breakfast in the main dining room. The aroma of toasted bread and warm soup slowly filled the space, mingling with the rich scent of freshly brewed coffee.

Eli was already seated at the table when Nathan walked in from the corridor.

She looked neat this morning. Her long hair was tied back simply, and she wore a light cream sweater paired with a dark skirt. Her eyes were no longer swollen like the day before, though traces of fatigue still lingered.

“Good morning, GrandDad,” Eli greeted politely as Nathan approached.

Nathan gave a small nod. “Morning, Eli.”

He pulled out a chair at the end of the table and sat down casually. His eyes lingered on the girl for a few seconds, quietly assessing whether she truly seemed better.

“Did you sleep well?”

Eli nodded slightly. “Yes. Much better than yesterday.”

Nathan smiled faintly at that. “That’s good to hear.”

A moment later, Riana entered the kitchen with Grace trailing behind her, still rubbing her eyes.

“Why is everyone already awoken?” Grace complained through a half-yawn.

Riana chuckled softly. “Because it’s morning, dear.”

Grace dropped into the chair beside Eli. Without saying much, she rested her head briefly against the girl’s shoulder.

“You’re not sick, are you?” she whispered.

Eli gave a small smile. “No.”

She gently patted the top of Grace’s head. “Did you stay up too late? Is that why you’re still this sleepy?”

“No,” Grace protested. “I just miss Mommy.”

Eli exhaled softly. “Then you should’ve called me. I would’ve stayed with you until you fell asleep.”

“Next time,” Grace said, looking at Eli intently. “When Mommy and Daddy don’t come home, you’ll stay with me until I fall asleep, okay?”

She held out her pinky finger. “Promise?”

“Promise,” Eli replied firmly, hooking her pinky with Grace’s.

Josh appeared a few seconds later, carrying a thick notebook in his hand. He stopped the moment he saw Eli, his face lighting up with relief.

“Good, you’re awake,” he said. “I already prepared the questions I want to ask.”
