HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 610

Chapter 610

The Miller family car moved steadily out of the residential area, the engine humming softly beneath the quiet.

Inside, the atmosphere was calm-neither awkward nor entirely relaxed. Althea let the car’s audio play softly in the background, filling the silence without overwhelming it.

Eli sat by the window, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. Every now and then, her gaze drifted outside- to passing buildings, rows of trees, the slow rhythm of traffic. SunCity looked the same as always.

But her thoughts were nothing but.

Today… felt different.

There were so many things she wanted to ask. About the school. About how she would be introduced. About whether the people there already knew her background. Even something as simple as… whether she would fit in.

But every question stopped at the edge of her mind.

She swallowed them all.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to know-she just didn’t dare to ask. The hesitation she felt toward Althea was still too strong. She was afraid her questions would sound too much. Afraid of being a burden. Afraid… of stepping too far, as if she already had the right to know everything.

When she knew she didn’t.

Not yet.

Her fingers tightened unconsciously, her gaze returning to the window as if the passing scenery could quiet the restless thoughts inside her.

The curiosity remained-but Eli chose silence.

At least for now.

Beside her, Althea sat composed and quiet. She hadn’t spoken much since they left, only glancing at Eli from time to time-subtle, careful, making sure the girl was okay without making her feel watched.

“If you feel uncomfortable,” Althea said gently, breaking the silence, “we can go back anytime.”

Eli turned to her immediately. “No,” she answered quickly, then softened. “I… want to see it.”

A faint smile touched Althea’s lips. “Alright.”

The silence returned-but this time, it felt lighter,

A few minutes later, the car slowed and came to a stop in front of a large gate with a sleek, modern design. The school’s name stood neatly displayed on the right side, framed by a well-maintained garden.

Eli stared at it, unmoving.

“This…” she murmured under her breath.

“The school my husband mentioned,” Althea replied softly.
