HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618

Several months passed before anyone really noticed.

The seasons shifted quietly, bringing warmer air and days that felt… lighter. Calmer. The lingering shadow of fear that once followed them everywhere had finally disappeared. No more threats. No more constant vigilance. The verdicts had been delivered, and those responsible were now behind bars- facing the consequences of everything they had done.

The Miller household slowly returned to what it had always been meant to be. Filled with laughter. Easy conversations. Simple routines that, somehow, felt more precious than anything else.

Eli had truly become part of the family now. She no longer hesitated to walk into any room, no longer felt awkward sitting at the dining table, no longer held herself back from speaking. Josh still dragged her into the study room to go over lessons, Grace clung to her whenever she had a new story to share, and Riana never once forgot to make sure Eli was eating properly every single day.

And Althea…

Her pregnancy had entered its final months.

Her body tired more easily, her steps slowed, and her emotions… had become far more delicate than before. She didn’t deny it. If anything, she found herself seeking Daven more often than she realized.

Not because she couldn’t manage on her own. But because she wanted him there.

“Daven.” Her voice came softly one quiet morning.

Daven, who had been reviewing documents at his desk, looked up immediately. “Yes?”

Althea stood at the doorway, one hand braced against the wall, the other resting protectively over her belly.

“I… want to sit outside,” she said gently.

Daven rose at once, not letting her wait even a second longer. He walked over and took her hand carefully. “Come on,” he said softly,

He guided her to the garden behind the house, matching his pace to hers-never too fast, never too slow, As if he had memorized every rhythm of her movement.

When they reached the garden bench, he helped her sit down. “Comfortable?” he asked.

Althea nodded. “Mm.” But her hand remained wrapped around his arm, unwilling to let go.

Daven studied her for a moment, then sat beside her without trying to pull away. “What is it?” he asked quietly.

Althea smiled faintly. “Nothing.”

“You must want something.”

She shook her head just slightly. “I just… want you here.”

It was such a simple answer. Yet it was enough to make Daven fall silent for a few seconds.

Then he nodded. “I’m not going anywhere.”

And from that moment on, he truly kept that promise.

Daven began spending more time at home-rearranging his schedule, delegating work, making sure he could always return earlier than before.
