HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 872

Chris immediately threw both hands into the air in complete surrender. "All right. You win."

An hour after that drama-filled breakfast came to an end, a black SUV pulled smoothly to a stop in front of the main gate of Westbridge University.

Naomi stepped out of the rear door first. Her eyes immediately lit up at the sight of the magnificent campus she had visited the day before.

Classic red-brick buildings stood proudly among rows of maple trees that had begun to turn green. In the distance, students strolled leisurely across the grounds, chatting in pairs or reading books on benches in the gardens. The atmosphere was far livelier and more vibrant today than it had been yesterday.

Lydia walked over to Naomi and looked out at the picturesque campus walkways with her. "Are you sure this is where you want to study?"

Naomi nodded firmly without the slightest hesitation. "Yes. I'm even more certain after seeing what it's like today."

Daniel walked a few steps behind them at a steady pace. His dark suit blended naturally into the surroundings, but his eyes never stopped scanning the area, ensuring the two women remained within a secure perimeter without ever disrupting their conversation.

Several university administrative staff members, who had been contacted beforehand, quickly came forward to warmly welcome Lydia's arrival. They invited the small group to enter the main building through the marble-floored lobby.

Naomi was visibly excited. Her steps felt light as she followed the guide, listening attentively to every explanation about the admissions process, the orientation schedule for new students, the various degree programs available, and the entrance examination that would be held several months later.

Lydia simply walked beside her with a faint smile. She loved seeing Naomi like this, full of enthusiasm, free from fear, and unburdened by the anxieties of her past. Here, Naomi was simply an ordinary young woman weaving together the dreams of her future.

But the peace inside the building stood in stark contrast to what was lurking outside.

Not far from the large pillar near the main lobby, a man wearing a baseball cap and dark sunglasses stood leaning against the corridor wall. His posture appeared relaxed, as though he were simply passing the time on his phone while waiting for someone.
